This document discusses Sigmund Freud's concepts of libido and Thanatos drives. It explains that libido, or the life instinct, aims to maintain vital life processes and ensure the propagation of the species through sexual instincts and pleasure seeking. Thanatos, or the death instinct, represents destructive, aggressive, and entropy-seeking impulses that unconsciously drive people towards death, cruelty, and seeking rest. These opposing drives are balanced through cathexis and anticathexis forces in Freud's psychoanalytic motivation system.

Jung's analytical psychology
Carl Jung founded analytical psychology, which views people as both conscious and unconscious, rational and irrational. He believed occult phenomena and inherited ancestral experiences influence individuals. The psyche contains personal experiences and collective archetypes. Dreams are a source of understanding the unconscious, which aims for wholeness. Jung characterized types by attitudes and functions, and developed stages of life. His theories organized observations but lacked falsifiability.

It describes the emergence of cognitive psychology due to challenges to behaviorism from researchers like Chomsky and Turing. The chapter then discusses common research methods in cognitive psychology like experiments, neuroimaging, self-reports, and computer modeling before concluding with key themes such as the interaction of cognitive processes and the need for diverse research methods.
Carl jung’s theory
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology. Some key points of his theory include:
1) He proposed the collective unconscious - a reservoir of experiences shared by humanity that influences our behaviors and emotions. It contains archetypes - innate tendencies to experience things in certain ways.
2) Major archetypes include the mother, representing nurturing relationships, and the shadow, representing repressed desires and the "dark side" of humanity.
3) Dreams, myths, and spiritual experiences across cultures provide evidence of the collective unconscious and archetypes. Near-death experiences in particular suggest we are "built" to experience death in similar ways.
4) Jung diverged from Freud by arguing archetypes
Gordon Allport (1897–1967) Trait Theory

Positive psychology
Positive psychology is the scientific study of positive experiences and traits that facilitate well-being and optimal functioning. It operates from a strengths-based model rather than focusing solely on pathology. The field aims to develop meaning, fulfillment, and positive emotions through examining engagement, relationships, meaning, and achievement. Major figures in the field include Martin Seligman, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and Christopher Peterson. Evidence shows that positive interventions including gratitude journals, acts of kindness, and using signature strengths can increase well-being and decrease depressive symptoms. Critics argue it may ignore suffering, but proponents emphasize it embraces a full range of human emotions and experiences.

social psychology
Social psychology is the scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another. Key concepts include attribution theory, which examines how we explain other people's behavior, and social thinking, which is affected by both internal attitudes and external social influences. Social influence can result in conformity, obedience, and norms. Prejudice involves unjustified negative attitudes toward social groups, while relationships are impacted by similarity, proximity, and social exchange. Conflict arises from perceived incompatibilities, but can be reduced through strategies like superordinate goals and graduated reciprocity in tension reduction.
77521535 rollo-may
Rollo May was an influential existential psychologist who developed an existential-psychodynamic theory. Some key aspects of his theory include: viewing existence as preceding essence; that people experience alienation from themselves, others, and the natural world; and that anxiety, guilt, and a sense of meaninglessness can result from this alienation. May believed psychotherapy should help people experience existence more fully and regain a sense of freedom. He outlined stages of personality development centered around independence from parents. May's theory emphasizes concepts like authenticity, freedom, and responsibility for oneself.
Methodological issues in cross.pdf
Cross-cultural research presents unique methodological challenges to ensure comparability across contexts. Key issues include establishing equivalence in problem definition, constructs, measures, sampling, data collection and analysis. Specifically, researchers must select an appropriate unit of analysis, translate measures properly, use sampling to balance representativeness and comparability, standardize data collection conditions, and assess measurement equivalence in the analysis stage. Addressing these issues is important to establish validity and make accurate comparisons in cross-cultural research.
Henry Murray

Biological Basis of Personality
Biology is the study of living organisms including their anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Personality is defined as distinctive characteristics that form an individual's character. The biological perspective focuses on how personality traits manifest through biological factors like genes, brain structures, and neurotransmitters. Genetics and twin studies provide evidence that personality is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Specific genes and areas of the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin pathways, have been associated with certain personality traits.
Erich fromm humanistic psychoanalysis
Erich Fromm developed a theory of humanistic psychoanalysis that viewed humans as having been separated from nature, leading to feelings of isolation and basic anxiety. His theory blended Freud's emphasis on the unconscious with Marx's view of socioeconomic determinism. Fromm believed humans have five basic needs - relatedness, transcendence, rootedness, identity, and orientation - and that society influences the development of receptive, exploitative, hoarding, marketing, or productive orientations. He also described personality disorders like necrophilia, malignant narcissism, and incestuous symbiosis.

SEX-AND-SENSES.pptx
The document defines several key terms related to the senses and discusses each of the five senses - sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. It notes that while humans are often thought of as rational beings, affect and emotions likely play a major role in behavior through our limbic system. Specifically, the document explores how the senses of sight, smell, and touch influence human sexuality, noting that visual cues strongly impact men's responses and certain scents may act as attractants or signals between potential partners. Tactile stimulation of erogenous zones can also elicit sexual responses through the hormone oxytocin.
Four Noble Truths
The document summarizes the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism. It explains that the first truth, Dukkha, recognizes that life involves suffering due to its impermanent nature. The second truth, Tanha, identifies desire and craving as the cause of suffering. The third truth holds that suffering can be overcome, while the fourth prescribes the Noble Eightfold Path as the solution to end suffering. This path involves right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.
Psychology of Emotions
This document provides an overview of the psychology of emotions. It is divided into three sections: general background on emotions, functions and processes of emotions, and specific emotions and emotion management. Some key topics covered include Darwin's taxonomy of emotions linking expressions to underlying physiology, James-Lange theory proposing that emotions arise from bodily responses, Freud's case study linking a patient's vomiting fits to repressed memories, and the historical neglect and rediscovery of emotions as a field of study in psychology.
THE MORAL ACT LECTURE NO. 6.pptx
Feelings and emotions play an important role in moral decision making according to philosophers David Hume and Max Scheler. Hume believed that feelings of approval and disapproval guide moral judgments more than reason alone. He classified passions as direct, arising from pleasure and pain, and indirect, derived from other ideas. Scheler viewed feelings as objective, existing independently of the mind. He proposed a model of four strata of feelings from sensual to spiritual, with spiritual feelings directing people towards higher values and the divine. Both philosophers argued feelings are integral to ethics rather than obstacles to rational decisions.
DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY.pptx
The document discusses Sigmund Freud's theory of personality development. Freud believed personality develops through stages from birth through adulthood. The key components of personality are the id, ego, and superego, which are constantly in conflict. The id operates on the pleasure principle, the ego mediates between the id and reality, and the superego incorporates societal morals. Freud proposed five psychosexual stages of development - oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital - where unresolved conflicts in early stages can impact personality long-term.
psychoanalytic theory
The document provides an overview of psychoanalytic therapy developed by Sigmund Freud in the 1890s. It discusses some key concepts in psychoanalysis including the unconscious mind, consciousness, ego defense mechanisms, and Freud's stages of psychosexual development. Psychoanalysis views human nature as driven by unconscious desires, instincts, and early childhood experiences. The goal of psychoanalytic therapy is to bring unconscious material to consciousness through techniques like free association and analysis of transference.
normalsexuality-090519233313-phpapp01.pdf
The document discusses various aspects of normal human sexuality. It describes sexuality as being determined by anatomy, physiology, culture, relationships and life experiences. Normal sexuality involves stimulation of sex organs and brings pleasure without inappropriate guilt or anxiety. Sexuality has biological, psychological, social and cultural dimensions that are shaped by factors like learning, perceptions and social norms. The document also outlines some health benefits of sex beyond reproduction and discusses concepts like sexual identity, gender identity and orientation.
Psychoanalytic theory unconscious mind.doc
Freud proposed that the psyche is composed of three parts:
1. The id operates based on the pleasure principle, seeking immediate gratification of instincts like hunger and sex.
2. The ego develops to mediate between the id and reality. It operates based on the reality principle of delaying gratification.
3. The superego incorporates societal values and ideals, forming one's conscience which the ego must balance against the id.

- Aristotle saw the soul as the essence of living things, with humans possessing a rational soul allowing self-actualization.
