 Biological Theories
Freud’s Psychoanalysis:
The structure of personality
1. Id
- Unconscious
2. Ego
- unconscious, preconscious,
conscious
3. Superego
- unconscious, preconscious, conscious
Freud’s Psychoanalysis:
The ID
Operates according to
the pleasure principle
–Present from birth
–Primitive
• basic needs and wants
–2 competing instincts:
• Life (sexual) - libido
• Death (aggressive)
–Unconscious
Freud’s Psychoanalysis:
The Ego
Operates according to the
reality principle
– Arises in first 3 years of life
–Mediates between ID and
Superego
–Rational part of mind
• you can’t always get
what you want
– Floats between all 3 levels
of consciousness
Freud’s Psychoanalysis:
The Superego
Moral Conscience
– Develops around age 5
• At end of Phallic Stage
–Stores and enforces rules
• Inner voice
–2 subsystems:
• Ego Ideal
• Conscience
Defense mechanisms
Psychosexual Stages of
Development
Analytical Psychology
Carl Jung (1875-1961)
Divides unconscious into 2 parts:
➢ Personal unconscious: an individual’s forgotten &
suppressed memories
➢ Collective unconscious: universal memories,
symbols, and experiences of all humans
➢Archetype: a generic, idealized model
Evaluating psychodynamic
theories
Three scientific failings:
1. Violating the principle of falsifiability
2. Drawing universal principles from the
experiences of a few atypical patients
3. Basing theories of personality development
on retrospective accounts and the fallible
memories of patients
Rorschach inkblot test
• Objective
• Standardized
• limited responses
and
• Projective
• Ambiguous
Assessing the Unconscious:
Thematic Apperception Test
(TAT)
• Projective Test
The Trait Theory
• The basic structural elements of personality
• Relatively stable and consistent characteristic
that can be used to describe someone
– E.g. loyal, honest, trustworthy, loyal, difficult
The Meyers-Briggs and
Kiersey Temperament Sorter
These tests measure four pairs of preferences
and can be used to develop personality profiles.
• extraversion-introversion
• intuition-sensation
• thinking-feeling
• judging-perceiving
Big Five personality dimensions
Openness to Experience
(intellect, imagination, curiosity, creativity)
Conscientiousness
(order, duty, deliberation, self-discipline)
Extraversion
(sociability, assertiveness, activity, positive emotions)
Agreeableness
(trust, nurturance, kindness, cooperation)
Neuroticism
(anxiety, depression, moodiness, vulnerability to stress)
Evaluating Trait Theories
Three major criticisms
1. Lack of explanation—focus on description
rather than causal relationships
2. Stability versus change—unsure which
characteristics are more stable or are likely to
change
3. Ignoring situational effects—how the person
and situation influence one another
Humanistic Approaches to
Personality
Humanistic psychology
An approach that emphasizes personal growth,
resilience, and the achievement of human
potential
Humanist psychologists:
1. Abraham Maslow
2. Carl Rogers
3. Rollo May
▪ Carl Rogers (1902-1987)
▪ focused on growth and fulfillment of
individuals
▪ genuineness
▪ acceptance
▪ empathy
Humanistic Perspective
Carl Rogers’
Personality
Theory
I love you
IF…
Love the
sinner, hate
the sin
Evaluating humanist approaches
The bad:
1.Assumptions are not testable
2.Hard to operationally define many of the concepts
The good:
1.Added balance to the study of personality
2.Encouraged others to focus on “positive
psychology”
3.Fostered new appreciation for resilience
Social-Cognitive Theory
Reciprocal Determinism
Two-way interaction between aspects of the
environment and aspects of the individual in the
shaping of personality traits
Cultural Influence on
Personality
Individualistic Cultures Collectivist Cultures
Define self as autonomous,
independent of groups
Define self as an interdependent part
of a group
Give priority to individual, personal
goals
Give priority to needs and goals of
group
Value independence, leadership,
achievement
Value group harmony, duty, obligation,
security
Give more weight to individual’s
attitudes and preferences, than to
group norms to explain behavior
Give more weight to group norms than
individual attitudes to explain behavior
Attend to the benefits and costs of
relationships; if costs exceed
advantages, a person is likely to drop
a relationship
Attend to needs of group members; if
relationship is beneficial to group, but
costly to individual, the individual is
likely to stay in the relationship
Biological Theories
Brain
Damage to the brain can affect personality
Neurochemistry
Neurotransmitter levels have been correlated with
personality traits
Genetics
Behavioral genetics finds some correlations with
some personality traits
Evidence of 4 of the Big Five traits in 64 different
species
– monkeys → dogs → octopi
– Conscientiousness has only been found in humans

  • 6. Freud’s Psychoanalysis: The Ego Operates according to the reality principle – Arises in first 3 years of life –Mediates between ID and Superego –Rational part of mind • you can’t always get what you want – Floats between all 3 levels of consciousness

  • 11. Evaluating psychodynamic theories Three scientific failings: 1. Violating the principle of falsifiability 2. Drawing universal principles from the experiences of a few atypical patients 3. Basing theories of personality development on retrospective accounts and the fallible memories of patients
  • 12. Rorschach inkblot test • Objective • Standardized • limited responses and • Projective • Ambiguous Assessing the Unconscious:
  • 14. The Trait Theory • The basic structural elements of personality • Relatively stable and consistent characteristic that can be used to describe someone – E.g. loyal, honest, trustworthy, loyal, difficult
  • 15. The Meyers-Briggs and Kiersey Temperament Sorter These tests measure four pairs of preferences and can be used to develop personality profiles. • extraversion-introversion • intuition-sensation • thinking-feeling • judging-perceiving
  • 16. Big Five personality dimensions Openness to Experience (intellect, imagination, curiosity, creativity) Conscientiousness (order, duty, deliberation, self-discipline) Extraversion (sociability, assertiveness, activity, positive emotions) Agreeableness (trust, nurturance, kindness, cooperation) Neuroticism (anxiety, depression, moodiness, vulnerability to stress)
  • 17. Evaluating Trait Theories Three major criticisms 1. Lack of explanation—focus on description rather than causal relationships 2. Stability versus change—unsure which characteristics are more stable or are likely to change 3. Ignoring situational effects—how the person and situation influence one another
  • 18. Humanistic Approaches to Personality Humanistic psychology An approach that emphasizes personal growth, resilience, and the achievement of human potential Humanist psychologists: 1. Abraham Maslow 2. Carl Rogers 3. Rollo May

Cultural Influence on Personality Individualistic Cultures Collectivist Cultures Define self as autonomous, independent of groups Define self as an interdependent part of a group Give priority to individual, personal goals Give priority to needs and goals of group Value independence, leadership, achievement Value group harmony, duty, obligation, security Give more weight to individual’s attitudes and preferences, than to group norms to explain behavior Give more weight to group norms than individual attitudes to explain behavior Attend to the benefits and costs of relationships; if costs exceed advantages, a person is likely to drop a relationship Attend to needs of group members; if relationship is beneficial to group, but costly to individual, the individual is likely to stay in the relationship
  • 24. Biological Theories Brain Damage to the brain can affect personality Neurochemistry Neurotransmitter levels have been correlated with personality traits Genetics Behavioral genetics finds some correlations with some personality traits Evidence of 4 of the Big Five traits in 64 different species – monkeys → dogs → octopi – Conscientiousness has only been found in humans
