PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORIES

• Emphasize the unconscious (part of the mind that contains material we are unaware of but that strongly influences behavior)

• Unconscious feelings as children = impact adulthood

• Main ideas developed by Sigmund Freud

FREUD’S ID, EGO, SUPEREGO

Freud used the Id, Ego, and Superego to try to explain how the mind functions and personality is shaped

Id

• instinctual & biological urges

• lustful, impulsive, fun – pleasure principle• completely unconscious

• Seeks immediate gratification of impulses (what feels good)• Ignores consequences

Following the pleasure principle (ID) leads to conflict with others (parents) and results in the development of the EGO in the

2nd and 3rd year of life.

Page 10: PSYCHOLOGY:. PERSONALITY DEFINED Personality is the consistent, enduring, and unique characteristics of a person Personality traits are characteristic

Ego

• Rational & thoughtful

• Based on the reality principle, the awareness that gratification of impulses has to be delayed in order to accommodate the demands of the real world.

Page 11: PSYCHOLOGY:. PERSONALITY DEFINED Personality is the consistent, enduring, and unique characteristics of a person Personality traits are characteristic

Superego

• Responsible for society’s rules of behavior (moral standards). Feels guilty if rules are disobeyed.

• Based on morality principle, must follow moral standards and rules and breaking them causes guilt.

ID – What you WANT TO DO

EGO – What you CAN DO

SUPEREGO – What you SHOULD DO

ID & SUPEREGO are frequently in conflict. Ego must satisfy both.

Rather than feel conflict or frustration when the ID’s desires & SUPEREGO’s rules cannot be satisfied, humans distort reality

using DEFENSE MECHANISMS

• Freud believed that information in the unconscious emerges in slips of the tongue, jokes, dreams, illness symptoms, etc. These are called Freudian Slips.

Freud’s techniques for exploring the Unconscious

• Dream interpretation, or analyzing dreams

• Psychoanalysis

Freud’s Theory ofPsychosexual Development

Freud believed that all children are born with powerful sexual

and aggressive urges. In learning to control these impulses,

children acquire their personality. Freud divided this development

into stages.

FREUD’S LEGACY

• 1ST Person to propose unified theory to understand and explain human behavior

• No theory more complete, complex, or controversial

• Some criticize his theory for being impossible to test

• Freud’s psychoanalytic theory was the predecessor of all later personality theories

Page 27: PSYCHOLOGY:. PERSONALITY DEFINED Personality is the consistent, enduring, and unique characteristics of a person Personality traits are characteristic

IN FREUD’S FOOTSTEPS….

Carl Jung• Freud’s personal successor before relationship ended because Jung disagreed with Freud’s emphasis on sexual urges

• The Collective unconscious (part of the mind that contains inherited instincts, urges, and memories common to all people) holds Archetypes (an inherited idea based on experiences of one’s ancestors, which shapes one’s personality)

• Jung believed we fit our personalities to our Archetypes

ALFRED ADLER

• Believed people are driven to overcome feelings of inferiority

• Inferiority Complex – when a person continually tries to compensate for his weakness and avoid feelings of inadequacy

•Believed in people’s drive for perfection.

Page 32: PSYCHOLOGY:. PERSONALITY DEFINED Personality is the consistent, enduring, and unique characteristics of a person Personality traits are characteristic

Adler: a single "drive" or motivating force lies behind all our behavior and experience.

Adler: called that motivating force the striving for perfection. Striving for perfection: the desire we all have to fulfill our

potentials, to come closer and closer to our ideal. Striving for perfection: similar to the more popular idea of self-

actualization

CARL ROGERS• Two sides to each person (What they value and what they believe others value in them)

• Self – one’s image of oneself (who they are) developed through interaction with others

• Everyone wants Positive regard – viewing oneself in favorable light due to supportive feedback from others

• People may reject parts of their person if they don’t receive positive regard

• The self and the person are often different but accepting your person results in becoming a fully functioning individual

TRAIT THEORIES

• Try to explain consistency and normal, healthy behavior in different situations

• Trait - relatively stable and enduring tendency to behave in a particular way

• Traits apply to all people. • Can quantify traits (scale 1-10 how nice are you)
