This document discusses human behavior and personality development. It defines human behavior and outlines several factors that influence it, including culture, emotions, and genetics. It also describes several models of human behavior and theories of personality development, such as psychoanalytic theory, psychosocial theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and trait theory. The document provides an overview of how personality develops across the lifespan from childhood to old age.

• Caused Behavior (Motivation):

6. • Individual Differences
result of interaction between individual
characteristics and the characteristics of the
environment in which the behavior occurs.

10. • Value of the Person (Human Dignity):
 People have to be treated with respect and as an
individual.
 They should be recognized and treated accordingly
to increase uniqueness of the person.

11. MODELS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR:
• Psychoanalytic Model
• Existential Model
• Internal vs. External Determinants of Behavior
• Personality vs. the Environment
• Cognition vs. the Environment

12. • Psychoanalytic Model (Freud):
behavior is not always consciously explained.
"Unconscious" is the major factor which guides the
individual's behavior.
behavior depends on three factors:
 id, Ego and Super ego.

14. • Id:
1.) childhood
2.) pleasure principle
3.) unconscious
4.) can be constructive and destructive(
aggressiveness ,fighting, destroying)
5.) controlled with maturity

15. • Ego:
1.) conscious stage of behaving
2.) maintain balance between id and
superego

16. • Superego:
• 1.) represents conscience of the individual
• 2.)Based on perfection principles.
• 3.) depend upon cultural values and morals

17. Existential Model:
• the depersonalizing effects of environment forces
individuals to make their own destiny. So the
individuals shape their own identity and make their
"existence" meaningful and worthwhile to
themselves.
(survival for the fittest)

18. Internal vs. External Determinants of Behaviour
• Internal: genetic endowment
• External: environment

19. Personality vs. the Environment
• Both personality and situational variables
must be taken into account in order to explain
an individual's behavior

20. Cognition vs. the Environment
• Depends upon individual's past responses
(Stimulus and response)
