Body Types & Personality
Sheldon’s Theory
Cardinal, Central, & Secondary Traits
 Allport: Most important personality traits are those that
reflect our values.
 Allport suggested that there are 3 kinds of traits:
• cardinal: a single personality trait that directs most
of a person’s activities (e.g., greed, lust,
kindness).
• central: a set of major characteristics that make up
the core of a person’s personality.
• secondary: less important personality traits that do
not affect behavior as much as central and cardinal
traits do.
Cattell’s Distinguishes 3 Types
of Traits
 Cattell’s Trait Theory:
 Distinguished 3 types of traits:
 Dynamic.
 Ability.
 Temperament.
 Also:
 Surface Traits: Less important to personality.
 Source Traits: More important basic underlying traits.
 Cattell identified 16 basic traits.
• He developed the 16PF to measure these traits.
Eysenck: Two Major Trait Dimensions
 Hans
Eysenck:
found two (2)
major
trait
dimensions:
• introversion
versus
extroversion
(quiet versus
sociable).
• Neuroticism
versus
emotional stability
(moody versus
calm).
The Big Five
Five Factor Model of Traits
Multiple Perspectives on
Personality
Psychoanalysis: The
Unconscious“the mind is like an iceberg - mostly hidden”
Conscious Awareness
small part above surface
(Preconscious)
Unconscious
below the surface
(thoughts, feelings,
wishes, memories)
Repression
Banishing unacceptable
thoughts and passions to
unconscious:
Dreams and Slips
Psychoanalysis:
Freud’s Theory of Personality Three levels of consciousness:
 Conscious mind:
things we are
focusing on.
 Preconscious mind:
things are are not
currently aware of
but which we could
focus on.
 Unconscious mind:
that which we are
unaware of.
Freud’s Theory of Personality:
Id, Ego, & Superego
 The id, the ego, and the
superego are continually
in conflict with one
another.
 This conflict generates
anxiety.
 If the ego did not
effectively handle the
resulting anxiety, people
would be so overwhelmed
with anxiety that they
would not be able to carry
on with the tasks of
everyday living.
 The ego tries to control
anxiety (i.e., to reduce
Humanistic Personality Theories:
Maslow and Rogers
Humanistic approach (Third Force):
Health growth involves Self actualization:
Given the right environmental conditions,
we can reach our full potential.
Roger’s Person-Centered Perspective
People are basically good
with actualizing tendencies.
Given the right environmental
conditions, we will develop
to our full potentials
Genuineness, Acceptance, Empathy
Self ConceptSelf Concept: central feature
of personality (+ or -)
Humanistic Personality Theories:
Carl Rogers
 Self-concept: our image or perception of ourselves
(Real Self versus Ideal Self).
 We have a need for positive regard/approval from others.
 We change our behavior to obtain approval.
 Anxiety signifies that we are not being true to our ideal self
 What we need is: Unconditional positive regard.
Maslow’s Hierarchy of human motives:
one must satisfy lower needs before one satisfies
higher needs.
Self-actualization is the culmination of a lifetime of inner-directed growth and
improvement
Social-Cognitive-Learning Perspective
Behavior learned through
conditioning and observation
What we think about our situation
affects our behavior
Interaction of
Environment and Intellect
How do we explain…
How do we explain…
How do we explain…
Social-Cognitive Personality Theories:
Reciprocal Determination
Social-Cognitive Personality Theories:
Outcomes of Personal Control
Learned Helplessness:
Uncontrollable
bad events
Perceived
lack of control
Generalized
helpless behavior
Important Issues:
• Nursing Homes
• Prisons
•Colleges
How do we measure
“Personality”?
 (1) Interview:
 Ask the person about themselves.
 Obtain information that reveals personality.
 (2) Behavioral Observation:
 Watch the individual’s behavior in an actual or simulated
situation.
 Personality Tests:
 (3) Objective tests (questionnaire tests).
 (4) Projective tests.
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality
Inventory (MMPI-2)
 Most widely used personality instrument.
 Used in clinical and employment settings.
 MMPI-2 Has several different scales (multiphasic).
 MMPI sample items:
 ‘I usually feel that life is worthwhile and
interesting (FALSE) = Depression.
 ‘I seem to hear things that other people can’t
hear’ (TRUE) = Schizophrenia.
 Measures aspects of personality that, if extreme,
suggest a problem:
 Extreme suspiciousness may indicate paranoia.
Rorschach Inkblot Test
 Most popular projective technique.
 Respond to inkblot: “What could this be?”
