Theories of personality
Elaborate two interesting, provoked meaningful discussions, one
for each topic. 300 words each topic
Topic#1
If you wanted to REALLY find out about a person's personality,
how would you go about it? Would interaction be the key or
would you prefer to use a personality test (if you could)? Would
simple observation be the key? Think about how many times we
make judgments about people's personality based on very little
information (ie, choosing a President, choosing a lover or even
a spouse, choosing a babysitter for our child). We often know
much less about these people than we think. How could we do a
better job of assessing the personality of "important" people in
our lives?
Topic#2
One of Freud’s more interesting concepts is that of the Oedipus
complex—boys subconsciously lust after their mothers, want to
kill their fathers, and eventually model themselves after their
fathers so they can hook up with a girl like dear old mom. Do
you see any evidence for or against the Oedipus complex in
boys? What about the Electra Complex (including penis envy)
in girls?
