Levels of consciousness:
1. Conscious mind
The conscious level consists
of all those things we are
aware of.
2. Preconscious mind
• The preconscious consists of those
things we are not paying conscious
attention to, and where many memories
are stored for easy retrieval.
3. Unconscious Mind
• The unconscious consists of those things
that are outside of conscious awareness,
including many memories, thoughts, and
urges of which we are not aware.
Structure of personality
• Freud's personality theory (1923) saw
the psyche structured into
three parts (i.e., tripartite),
• the id,
• ego and
• superego,
• all developing at different stages in our
lives.
• According to Freud
psychoanalytic theory,
• the id is the primitive and
instinctual part of the mind
• the super-ego operates as a
moral conscience, and
• the ego is the realistic part
that mediates between the
desires of the id and the
super-ego.
ID
• The id is the primitive and
instinctive component of
personality.
• It consists of all the inherited
(i.e., biological) components
of personality present at
birth,
• Pleasure principle.
EGO
• The ego is 'that part of the id which
has been modified by the direct
influence of the external
world.'(Freud, 1923, p. 25)
• The ego develops to mediate
between the unrealistic id and the
external real world.
• It is the decision-making component
of personality.
• The ego operates according to the
reality principle,
SUPER-EGO
• The superego incorporates the values and
morals of society.
• The superego's function is to control the id's
impulses,
• Morality principle
Defence Mechanism
• Part of Unconscious mind
that attempts to control Id
impulses.
• Defense mechanism
becomes pathological
when persistent uses
leads to maladaptive
behavior and physical
and mental health of an
individual is adversely
affected.
• Repression:
• Regression
• Sublimation
• Displacement
• Projection
• Rationalization
Phenomenological/ Humanistic
Carl Rogers personality
theory
Personality Development and
the Self-Concept
• Rogers based his theories of
personality development on
humanistic psychology and theories
of subjective experience.
• He believed that everyone exists in a
constantly changing world of
experiences that they are at the
center of.
self-concept
• As a result of their interactions with the
environment and others, an individual forms
a structure of the self or self-concept—an
organized, fluid, conceptual pattern of
concepts and values related to the self.
• If a person has a positive self-concept, they
tend to feel good about who they are and
often see the world as a safe and positive
place.
• If they have a negative self-concept, they
may feel unhappy with who they are.
Ideal Self vs. Real Self
Personality Assessments

• Observation of behaviour of a person over a long period is
one of the techniques of assessing personality traits.
