2 dynamics of personality
structure and dynamics of personality

3 MEANING The term ‘personality’ has been derived from Latin root ‘persona’ which referred to the facial mask worn by Roman actors on the stage. Today, the term personality means many things to many people. Personality refers to the “totality of what a person is”, which includes all traits (physical, psychological, as well as a variety of acquired habitual traits).

4 DEFINITIONS F.S Freeman, “An individual’s personality is the resulting individuality arising out of the interaction of a self-conscious and intelligent person and the environment in which he lives.” G.W.Allport, “Personality is a dynamic organisation within the individual of those psycho-physical systems that determine his characteristic behaviour and thought.”

5 Sigmund Frued

6 Structure of personality
SIGMUND FRUED ( ) Born - Vienna, Austria. Father of psychology. Founder of the Psychoanalytic approach.

7 STRUCTURE Freud proposed that the personality consisted of three structures called The Id, The Ego and The Superego. Each of these structures is responsible for some aspect of our thinking and behavior.

8 ID Id = represents our wants, desires, instant gratification, etc We have no awareness of this part of our psyche, but it can be a driving force in our behavior The Id is rooted in the desire for pleasure. functions in the irrational and often times emotional part of the mind

9 An Example: At birth a baby is the mindset of getting what it wants for no other reason other than they want it.  The Id is primitive in the way that it does what it wants in order to survive and better the life for themselves. The Id contains all the basic needs and feelings and has also been referred to as the libido. Operates on pleasure principle of "I want it and I want it now."

10 Ego Ego - represents the rational part of our psyche. It is the closest of the three to our conscious awareness. Ego allows us to live in the world and balance the needs of our basic and instinctive wants and desires (id) and our moralistic and parental restrictions (superego). ~Functions with the rational part of the mind. ~The Ego develops out of growing awareness that you can’t always get what you want.

11 ~The Ego relates to the real world and operates via the “reality principle”.  It realizes the need for compromise and negotiates between the Id and the Superego.  The Ego's job is to get the Id's pleasures but to keep in mind the consequences that could come from the action.  ~The Ego denies both instant gratification and the delayment of gratification.  ~If  someone's ego is too strong then usually they are extremely rational and efficient, but cold and distant from other people.

12 superego Superego = represent the moralistic and parental side of our psyche. The superego attempts to control our basic instincts but it too is outside of our conscious awareness. The Superego is the last part of the mind to develop and could also be referred to as the moral part of the mind. The Superego begins to put together everything our parents and society teaches us. It stores and enforces rules.

15 What is a Dynamic Personality?
A personality where an individual is confident, energetic and independent is called a dynamic personality. Persons with this personality usually love new challenges, are responsible and are open to objective arguments in addition to having a sharp eye for errors. However, in some cases, the dynamic personality be confused with arrogance.

16 The Dynamic Nature of Personality
The most important task confronting the field of personality is the task of capturing the dynamic, process-oriented nature of personality in a parsimonious fashion. A motivational analysis allows us to express coherent cognition-affect-behavior patterns that distinguish individuals from each other.

17 However, because it also illuminates the underpinnings of important psychological phenomena in all individuals (e.g., helplessness, aggression),

18 CHARACTERISTICS OF PERSONALITY
Personality is self-consciousness; it is through and through social; it is dynamic; it is the product heredity and environment; it is adjustable or modifiable; it is unique; it is integrated and function as a whole; it is assessable.

Our intellectual efficiency, physical power, patience, the quickness of adjustment, the readiness of acquiring new modes of responses, our reasoning and thinking all depend upon the nervous system. Any injury to the system will affect the personality of the individual.
