Trait Theory
ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES
MAJOR PERSPECTIVES
Sociocultural Perspective



Stresses the importance of social norms and culture.
Proposes that children learn behaviour through problemsolving interactions with other children and adults.

Evolutionary Perspective




Argues that social behaviours are developed through genetics
and inheritance.
Emphasises the role of biology and gene transmission across
generations to explain current behaviour.
CONTINUED……
Social Learning Perspective




Stresses the importance of unique experiences in family,
school, community, etc.
learn behaviours through observing and mimicking the
behaviour of others.

Social-Cognitive Perspective



We notice, interpret, and judge the behaviour of others
New experiences can either be assimilated (using
already held beliefs to interpret the event), or
accommodated (which involves changing existing beliefs
in response to the event.)
KEY FIGURES PERSPECTIVES
EARLY PHILOSOPHERS
Aristotle
 Believed that humans were naturally sociable, a
necessity which allows us to live together (an
Individual Centred Approach)
Hegel (1770–1831)
 Introduced the concept that society has inevitable
links with the development of the social mind.
Lazarus & Steinthal (1860)
 They put forward the idea of “Volker psychology”
which focused on the idea of a Collective mind.
THEORISTS
Allport (1920) – Social Facilitation
 Allport introduced the notion that the presence of
others (the social group) can facilitate certain
behaviour.
Bandura (1963) – Social Learning Theory
 Bandura introduced the notion that behaviour in the
social world could be modelled.
Weiner (1986) – Attribution theory
 Introduced the idea that we look for explanations of
behaviour in the social world, through our
experiences of success and failure.
EXAMPLE – SOCIAL CONFORMITY
Haney, Banks, Zimbardo (1973) – Prison Study
 Volunteers took part in a simulation where they were
randomly assigned the role of a prisoner or guard.
 There was some basic loss of rights for the prisoners.
 The study showed that conformity to social roles occurred
as part of the social interaction.
 Both groups displayed more negative emotions and
hostility.
 Prisoners became passive, whilst the guards assumed an
active, brutal and dominant role.
 Although normative and informational social influence had
a role to play here, DE individuation/the loss of a sense of
identity seemed most likely to lead to conformity.
RATIONALE
The socio psychological approach to understanding
communication is framed by both early scientific
thinking and the emerging “social sciences.
 Arose out of modernism, and in many ways is a
continuation of the enlightenment project.
 focuses on human traits, predispositions, cognitive
processes and reveals hidden internal factors
influencing communication.
 „Excessive individualism, inattention to macro-social
forces‟‟
(Craig&Muller 2007, p84)

SOCIOPSYCHOLOGICAL TRADITION
BRANCH – BIOLOGICAL: BRAIN FUNCTION,
NEUROCHEMISTRY, PSYCHOBIOLOGY


Biological factors such as chromosomes, hormones and the
brain all have a significant influence on human behaviour, for
example gender.



The biological approach believes that most behaviour is
inherited and has an adaptive (or evolutionary) function.

EXAMPLE


Weeks after child birth the testosterone levels in the father
drops by more than 30% (evolutionary function)



Therefore men with lower levels of testosterone are less likely
to have a wondering eye.



They are also less aggressive
TRAIT THEORY
Suggests that we inherit certain „traits‟
 i.e. Schizophrenia, shyness, extroversion,
introversion.

Raymond Cattell - defined 2 types of traits
- Surface Traits: Personality characteristics easily
seen by other people
- Source Traits: More basic traits that underlie the
surface traits
Example
Being shy, quiet and disliking crowds are surface
traits related to the more basic source trait of
introversion.

Socio psychology

  • 2. ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES MAJOR PERSPECTIVES Sociocultural Perspective   Stresses the importance of social norms and culture. Proposes that children learn behaviour through problemsolving interactions with other children and adults. Evolutionary Perspective   Argues that social behaviours are developed through genetics and inheritance. Emphasises the role of biology and gene transmission across generations to explain current behaviour.
  • 3. CONTINUED…… Social Learning Perspective   Stresses the importance of unique experiences in family, school, community, etc. learn behaviours through observing and mimicking the behaviour of others. Social-Cognitive Perspective   We notice, interpret, and judge the behaviour of others New experiences can either be assimilated (using already held beliefs to interpret the event), or accommodated (which involves changing existing beliefs in response to the event.)
  • 4. KEY FIGURES PERSPECTIVES EARLY PHILOSOPHERS Aristotle  Believed that humans were naturally sociable, a necessity which allows us to live together (an Individual Centred Approach) Hegel (1770–1831)  Introduced the concept that society has inevitable links with the development of the social mind. Lazarus & Steinthal (1860)  They put forward the idea of “Volker psychology” which focused on the idea of a Collective mind.
  • 5. THEORISTS Allport (1920) – Social Facilitation  Allport introduced the notion that the presence of others (the social group) can facilitate certain behaviour. Bandura (1963) – Social Learning Theory  Bandura introduced the notion that behaviour in the social world could be modelled. Weiner (1986) – Attribution theory  Introduced the idea that we look for explanations of behaviour in the social world, through our experiences of success and failure.
  • 6. EXAMPLE – SOCIAL CONFORMITY Haney, Banks, Zimbardo (1973) – Prison Study  Volunteers took part in a simulation where they were randomly assigned the role of a prisoner or guard.  There was some basic loss of rights for the prisoners.  The study showed that conformity to social roles occurred as part of the social interaction.  Both groups displayed more negative emotions and hostility.  Prisoners became passive, whilst the guards assumed an active, brutal and dominant role.  Although normative and informational social influence had a role to play here, DE individuation/the loss of a sense of identity seemed most likely to lead to conformity.
  • 7. RATIONALE The socio psychological approach to understanding communication is framed by both early scientific thinking and the emerging “social sciences.  Arose out of modernism, and in many ways is a continuation of the enlightenment project.  focuses on human traits, predispositions, cognitive processes and reveals hidden internal factors influencing communication.  „Excessive individualism, inattention to macro-social forces‟‟ (Craig&Muller 2007, p84) 
  • 8. SOCIOPSYCHOLOGICAL TRADITION BRANCH – BIOLOGICAL: BRAIN FUNCTION, NEUROCHEMISTRY, PSYCHOBIOLOGY
  • 9.  Biological factors such as chromosomes, hormones and the brain all have a significant influence on human behaviour, for example gender.  The biological approach believes that most behaviour is inherited and has an adaptive (or evolutionary) function. EXAMPLE  Weeks after child birth the testosterone levels in the father drops by more than 30% (evolutionary function)  Therefore men with lower levels of testosterone are less likely to have a wondering eye.  They are also less aggressive
  • 10. TRAIT THEORY Suggests that we inherit certain „traits‟  i.e. Schizophrenia, shyness, extroversion, introversion. 
  • 11. Raymond Cattell - defined 2 types of traits - Surface Traits: Personality characteristics easily seen by other people - Source Traits: More basic traits that underlie the surface traits Example Being shy, quiet and disliking crowds are surface traits related to the more basic source trait of introversion.
