1. Marten’s Schematic View
Social and environment influences

Deep psychological core
Social and environment influences
External and dynamic – changes according to your perceptions of the situation/environment
Typical responses are influenced by psychological core e.g. confidence, temper, extrovert/introvert, learned adjustments

2. The structure of personality
Psychological core- the centre of the personality. Includes basic attitudes and values, seen as relatively permanent.
Typical responses- the usual way in which we respond to situations. Our typical responses are good indicators of our psychological core, but can be effected by the social environment.
Role related behaviours- depend on the circumstances we are in. This is the most changeable part of personality and may bear little relationship to the psychological core.
