The document discusses several prominent theories of personality development in psychology, including Freud's psychodynamic theory, Piaget's stages of cognitive development, Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, and Kohlberg's stages of moral development. Freud's theory proposed that personality develops through the interaction of the id, ego, and superego. He also suggested that personality develops through psychosexual stages focused on different erogenous zones. Other theorists like Piaget, Erikson, and Kohlberg focused on cognitive, social, and moral aspects of development respectively.

Psychology is defined as the science of mind and behavior. Human psychological development involves personality, cognition, emotion, and self-concept. Each child develops into a unique entity with individual strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, however, some principles and processes apply to the psychological development of all people. Likewise, virtually everyone is subject to similar psychological feelings and reactions that affect their behavior.
This example portrays two schoolboys discussing their current academic careers. Numerous psychological concepts and variables are affecting even this simple interaction. The boys are addressing their own and their peers’ ability to learn and achieve. Learning is easier for some children and more difficult for others. Personality characteristics also come into play. Some children are more dominant and aggressive. Others are more passive. Some young people are more motivated to achieve and win. Others are less interested and enthusiastic. Finally, some children feel good about themselves, and others have poor self-concepts.
A Perspective
Psychological variables interact with biological and social factors to affect an individual’s situation and behavior. Their interaction influences the potential courses of action available to a person at any point in time. This chapter will focus on some of the psychological concepts that critically impact children as they grow up. There are four major thrusts. The first presents a perspective on how personalities develop. The second provides a basic understanding of how children think and learn. The third focuses on emotion, and the fourth on self-concept.
Learning Objectives
This chapter will:
A. Summarize prominent psychological theories concerning personality development, including psychodynamic, neo-Freudian psychoanalytic, behavioral, phenomenological, and feminist theories.
B. Suggest a procedure for evaluating theory and discuss some concepts useful in enhancing sensitivity to human diversity when doing so.
C. Examine Piaget’s theory of cognitive development and Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of cognitive development.
D. Describe the concept of emotion and investigate the development of temperament and attachment.
E. Discuss self-concept and self-esteem.
F. Examine the concepts of intelligence and intelligence testing, emphasizing the potential cultural and other biases involved.
G. Explore cognitive disabilities (mental retardation), learning disabilities, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, their effects on children, and current macro system responses.Theories of Psychological Development

The concept of personality has evolved through many theorists. Some state that traits are what make you who you are, others rely on the unconscious, while others consider genetics and your thought process. A variety of theorists have contemplated how personalities are shaped and what aspects of growth are most important. The five key theories of personality are reviewed below.
Psychoanalytic Basis:
The psychoanalytic school of personality offers a logical perspective of stages, motivational forces, egos, understanding identity, and beyond. Freud is a major forefather from which many other theorists have developed their theories. The compelling theme amongst theorists in this school is that the lack of stable, consistent environments can impact our future. Erik Erikson is another theorist in this school.
Biological Basis:
A variety of theorists have contemplated how personalities comes about, whether through nature or nurture. Reviewing biological bases of behavior, in addition to learned and generational patterns, provides insight into personalities. Genetic theorists subscribe to the theory that nature and nurture work together to create an individual. Child rearing is impacted by the behavior of the caregiver. Hans Eysenck is an important theorist in the biological perspective of personality development.
Trait Approach:
This approach examines specific characteristics that can make up your personality. Are you introverted? Extroverted? What are your main traits in most situations? These were some of the questions explored by trait theorists like Gordon Allport and Raymond Cattell. The five factor model is generally the most common concept in trait theory, spelling out OCEAN: Openness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Critics of trait theory argue that it cannot predict behavior accurately.
Behaviorist Basis:
Behaviorist felt personality was a result of the interaction of the environment and the person. They measure behaviors that are observable. Theorists in this field include John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner.
Humanist Basis:
Humanists felt we were all striving to be our best, towards what they often refer to as Self Actualization. Our personalities are developed by how we see ourselves. Many of our decisions involve free will. Theorists in this field include Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers.
The past is an essential component of understanding the self; however, the impact of genetics versus personal choice is an ongoing debate. Consider which approach you feel best describes personality development.

Psychodynamic
Freud, Jung, Adler, Erickson
Freud believed that the adult personality was the end result of accumulated childhood experiences, and how they were processed. ("Freudian Theory of Personality | Journal Psyche," 2018) Jung gave us concepts like (extroversion and introversion, archetypes, collective unconscious, and modern dream analysis. ("Jungian Model of the Psyche | Journal Psyche," 2018) Alder gave us (“striving for perfection, or self-actualization”) ("Alfred Adler’s Personality Theory and Personality Types | Journal Psyche," 2018) Erickson gave us the (“8 Stages of Identity and psychosocial development. (McLeod, 2018)
Psychodynamic theory discuss an individual need to fulfill their basic desires or urges; people cannot help but act the way they do because it’s primal. While Freud, Jung, Adler and Erickson have some differences in what they believe drive human basic instinct; we are motivated by human instinct nonetheless.
Research isn’t able to be replicated and thus not scientific
In dealing with comprehensiveness, a theorist question should be whether or not all aspects of personality is covered or does it just focus on particular subjects that are easily explained by their system of theories. Freud’s theory of personality was described as exceptional in comprehensiveness as it addressed a wide range of issues such as, “literature, of mind, the relationship between persons and society, dreams, sexuality, symbolism, the nature of human development, therapies for psychological change” (Cervone & Pervin 2013, p. 157).
The whole psychodynamic approach was based on Freud's ideas. The human behavior and feelings are greatly affected by motives which are unconscious. Freud once said that the unconscious mind of the human being is the primary source of their behaviors (Kroger, 2006). Adult behaviors are rooted in their childhood experiences. According to psychodynamic theory, "events in our childhood have a great influence on our adult lives, shaping our personality. Events that occur in childhood can remain in the unconscious, and cause problems as adults.” Psychodynamic theory views that the human behavior is greatly influenced by the unconscious factors which human beings have no control over.
Attachment
Freud, Bowlby, Robertson
In Bowlby’s (Attachment theory) he tells us of the importance of a secure (mother and infant bond)
The attachment theory personality is dependent on the relationship that a child has with its mother. The bond that is created in infancy determine.

1. Personality development has
been a major topic of interest
for some of the most prominent
thinkers in psychology.
Our personalities make us
unique, but how does
personality develop? How
exactly do we become who we
are today?
In order to answer this question,
many prominent theorists
developed theories to describe
various steps and stages that
occur on the road of personality
development. The following
2. theories focus on various
aspects of personality
development, including
cognitive, social and moral
development.
Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive
Development
Jean Piaget’s theory of
cognitive development remains
one of the most frequently cited
in psychology, despite being
subject to considerable
criticism. While many aspects
of his theory have not stood the
test of time, the central idea
3. remains important today:
children think differently than
adults. Learn more about
Piaget’s groundbreaking theory
and the important contributions
it made to our understanding of
personality development.
Freud’s Stages of
Psychosexual Development
In addition to being one of the
best-known thinkers in the area
of personality
development, Sigmund
Freud remains one of the most
controversial. In his well-known
4. stage theory of psychosexual
development, Freud suggested
that personality develops in
stages that are related to
specific erogenous zones.
Failure to successfully complete
these stages, he suggested,
would lead to personality
problems in adulthood.
Freud’s Structural Model of
Personality
Freud's concept of
the id, ego and superego has
gained prominence in popular
culture, despite a lack of
5. support and considerable
skepticism from many
researchers. According to
Freud, three elements of
personality—known as the id,
the ego, and the superego—
work together to create complex
human behaviors.
Erikson’s Stages of
Psychosocial Development
Erik Erikson’s eight-stage
theory of human development is
one of the best known theories
in psychology. While the theory
builds on Freud’s stages of
6. psychosexual development,
Erikson chose to focus on how
social relationships impact
personality development. The
theory also extends beyond
childhood to look at
development across the entire
lifespan.
Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral
Development
Lawrence Kohlberg developed
a theory of personality
development that focused on the
growth of moral thought.
Building on a two-stage process
7. proposed by Piaget, Kohlberg
expanded the theory to include
six different stages. While the
theory has been criticized for a
number of different reasons,
including the possibility that it
does not accommodate different
genders and cultures equally,
Kohlberg’s theory remains
important in our understanding
of how personality develops.
Erik Erikson's Child
Development Theory Video
An individual's personality is an
aggregate conglomeration of
8. the decisions they have made
throughout their life and the
memory of the experiences to
which these decisions led.
There are inherent natural,
genetic, and environmental
factors that contribute to the
development of our
personality. According to
process of socialization,
"personality also colors our
values, beliefs, and
expectations ... Hereditary
factors that contribute to
9. personality development do so
as a result of interactions with
the particular social
environment in which people
live." There are several
personality types as Katharine
Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs
Myers illustrated in several
personalities typology tests,
which are based on Carl Jung's
school of Analytical psychology.
However, these tests only
provide enlightenment based
on the preliminary insight
10. scored according to the
answers judged by the
parameters of the test.
Other theories on personality
development include Jean
Piaget's stages of
development, Erik
Erikson's stages of psychosocial
development, and personality
development in Sigmund
Freud's theory being formed
through the interaction of id,
ego, and super-ego.
11. Personality development
Personality is defined as the
enduring personal
characteristics of individuals.
Although some psychologists
frown on the premise, a
commonly used explanation for
personality development is
the psychodynamic approach.
The term "ambot" describes
any theory that emphasizes the
constant change and
development of the individual.
Perhaps the best known of the
12. psychodynamic theories
is Freudian psychoanalysis.

scored according to the
answers judged by the
parameters of the test.
Freud's psychoanalytic theory
Drives
15. Freud believed that two basic
drives—sex and aggression—
motivate all our thoughts and
behaviour. He referred to these
as Eros (love) and Thanatos.
Eros represents the life instinct,
sex being the major driving
force. Thanatos represents the
death instinct (characterised by
aggression), which, according
to Freud, allowed the human
race to both procreateand
eliminate its enemies.
Structure of personality
16. Freud conceived the mind as
only having a fixed amount
of psychic energy (libido). The
outcome of the interaction
between the id, ego and the
superego, (each contending for
as much libidinal energy as
possible) determines our adult
personality.
Tripartite personality
Freud believed that personality
had three parts—the id, ego,
and super-ego—referring to
this as the tripartite
17. personality. The id allows us to
get our basic needs met. Freud
believed that the id is based on
the pleasure principle, i.e. it
wants immediate satisfaction,
with no consideration for the
reality of the situation.[2]
As a child interacts more with
the world, the ego begins to
develop. The ego's job is to
meet the needs of the id by
taking into account the
constraints of reality. The ego
acknowledges that being
18. impulsive or selfish can
sometimes hurt us, so
the id must be constrained.
The superego develops during
the phallic stage as a result of
the moral constraints placed on
us by our parents. It is generally
believed that a
strong superego serves to
inhibit the biological instincts of
the id (resulting in a high level
of guilt), whereas a
weak superego allows
the id more expression
19. (resulting in a low level of
guilt).
Defense mechanisms
The ego, having a difficult time
trying to satisfy both the needs
of the id and the superego,
employs defense mechanisms.
Repression is perhaps the most
powerful of these. Repression
is the act by which
unacceptable id impulses (most
of which are sexually related)
are "pushed" out of awareness
and into the unconscious mind.
20. Another example of a defense
mechanism is projection. This is
the mechanism that Freud used
to explain Little Hans' complex.
Little Hans is said to have
projected his fear for his father
onto horses, which is why he
was afraid of them.
Psychosexual stages
Freud believed that at
particular points in the child's
development, a single part of
the body is particularly
21. sensitive to sexual stimulation.
These erogenous zones are the
mouth, anus and the genital
region. At any given time, the
child's libido is focused on the
primary erogenous zone for
that age. As a result, the child
has certain needs and demands
that are related to the
erogenous zones for that stage.
Frustration occurs if these
needs are not met, but, a child
may also become overindulged,
and so may be reluctant to
22. progress beyond the stage.
Both frustration and
overindulgence may lead
to fixation—some of the
child's libido remains locked
into that stage. If a child is
fixated at a particular stage, the
method of obtaining
satisfaction that characterised
that stage will dominate their
adult personality.
Although many people
view Freud's descriptions of
personality development as
23. pure fantasy, his ideas have
endured and have had far
reaching influences both in and
outside psychology. Freud has
changed the way we think
about the importance of
childhood, and also made us
aware of the unconscious
elements of our psyche that are
essential for development.
