My personality as I grow old as I need to start with taking a good look at myself to analyzing my traits, the strengths and weaknesses and everything that needs to be worked upon. Don’t be shy from accepting flaws and learn about myself as much as I can. The thoughts and my actions both need to be positive in order to have an attractive personality. The way I think has a lot of effect on the way how we act. And if one prospers positive thoughts inside my mind then that also gives me a confidence boost and enhances their personality
2. Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development
Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development remains one of the most frequently cited in psychology, despite being subject to considerable criticism. While many aspects of his theory have not stood the test of time, the central idea remains important today: children think differently than adults. Learn more about Piaget’s groundbreaking theory and the important contributions it made to our understanding of personality development.
Freud’s Stages of Psychosexual Development
In addition to being one of the best-known thinkers in the area of personality development, Sigmund Freud remains one of the most controversial. In his well-known stage theory of psychosexual development, Freud suggested that personality develops in stages that are related to specific erogenous zones. Failure to successfully complete these stages, he suggested, would lead to personality problems in adulthood.
Freud’s Structural Model of Personality
Freud's concept of the id, ego and superego has gained prominence in popular culture, despite a lack of support and considerable skepticism from many researchers. According to Freud, three elements of personality—known as the id, the ego, and the superego—work together to create complex human behaviors.
Erikson’s Stages of Psychosocial Development
Erik Erikson’s eight-stage theory of human development is one of the best known theories in psychology. While the theory builds on Freud’s stages of psychosexual development, Erikson chose to focus on how social relationships impact personality development. The theory also extends beyond childhood to look at development across the entire lifespan.
Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development
Lawrence Kohlberg developed a theory of personality development that focused on the growth of moral thought. Building on a two-stage process proposed by Piaget, Kohlberg expanded the theory to include six different stages. While the theory has been criticized for a number of different reasons, including the possibility that it does not accommodate different genders and cultures equally, Kohlberg’s theory remains important in our understanding of how personality develops.
3. I choose Erikson’s psychosocial theory of development considers the impact of external factors, parents and society on personality development from childhood to adulthood. According to Erikson’s theory, every person must pass through a series of eight interrelated stages over the entire life cycle.

ReplyDelete1. Briefly describe the development of your personality.
My personality development is the resulted of my experiences in life and what motivates me. Good and bad experiences have both big influences in my personality. As I grow older, different people and environment had come into my life; my experiences from them motivate me to become who I am now. I make sure that the result of these experiences will mold me to become a better person. My personality also had weakness and strength but I am more focus on how to make myself strong and productive as I can.
2. Study or research on the theories of personality.
Biological Theories
According to this theory the genetics are responsible for personality. Research on heritability suggests that there is a link between genetics and personality traits.
Hans Eysenck, is one of the best known biological theorists, who linked aspects of personality to biological processes. Eysenck argued that introverts had high cortical arousal, leading them to avoid stimulation. On the other hand, Eysenck believed extroverts had low cortical arousal, causing them to seek out stimulating experiences.
Behavioral Theories
Behavioral theories suggest that personality is a result of interaction between the individual and the environment. Study observable and measurable behaviors, rejecting theories that take internal thoughts and feelings into account. B. F. Skinner and John B. Watson includes in Behavioral theories.
Psychodynamic Theories
Most Influenced by the work of Sigmund Freud, emphasize the influence of the unconscious mind and childhood experiences on personality development. Psychodynamic theories include Sigmund Freud'spsychosexual stage theory and Erik Erikson'sstages of psychosocial development.
Sigmund Freud believed the three components of personality; the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is responsible for all needs and urges, while the superego for ideals and moral. The ego moderates between the demands of the id, the superego, and reality.
Erik Erikson believed that personality progressed through a series of stages, with certain conflicts arising at each stage. Success in any stage depended upon successfully overcoming these conflicts.
Humanist Theories
Emphasize the importance of free will and individual experience in the development of personality. Humanist theorists emphasized the concept of self-actualization, which is an innate need for personal growth that motivates behavior. Humanist theorists include Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow.
Trait Theories
This approach is one of the largest areas within personality psychology. According to this theory personality is made up of a number of broad traits. A trait is basically a relatively stable characteristic that causes an individual to behave in certain ways. Eysenck's three-dimension theory and the five factor theory of personality are some of the best known trait theories.
3. Which theory best describe the development of your personality (e.g. Psychoanalytic, Erickson, Bandura, Behavioral, etc)? Explain
Humanist theory of Maslow's hierarchy of needs used the terms physiological, safety, belongingness and love, esteem, self-actualization and self-transcendence to describe the pattern of human personality development.
It described my Personality Development it’s because in my own experiences I feel much happy if I done something right and productive, this motivate me to become more better person because of the feeling of satisfaction when I do good. I do well not only for my personal growth but also for others. When I had done something bad I felt guilt and regrets and I don’t like that feeling. To diminish that negative insight I motivated myself to enhance my Personality Development.

ReplyDelete1. Briefly describe the development of your personality.
Personality is the sum total of individual’s Psychological traits, characteristics, motives, habits, attitudes, beliefs and outlooks. My personality is determined by some factors like heredity, environment, and situations/experiences in life.
2. Study or research on the theories of personality.
Based on the study of Carol Dweck, they have looked at the in-between part of personality by examining acquired—and changeable—beliefs. They have seen that they underlie many patterns of adaptive functioning, and that they have unique implications for understanding personality development and personality change. The most important next step for personality researchers is to identify other core beliefs or belief systems that can vary across individuals (or cultures)— beliefs about the self, others, relationships, and the world—and that are responsible for important, consistent patterns of experience and action. Another key step is to continue to show how these beliefs feed into broader personality ‘‘traits’’ and contribute to their malleability.

My personality have been influenced and developed I believed through of course my genes and my interaction with my environment. I have become what I am today because of my genetic predisposition and social experiences in the social environment I am into.
2. Study or research on the theories of personality.
Trait theories
Theorists generally assume that a) traits are relatively stable over time, b) traits differ among individuals, and c) traits influence behavior. They consistently are used in order to help define people as a whole. Traits are relatively constant; they do not usually change. Traits are also bipolar; they vary along a continuum between one extreme and the other (e.g. friendly vs. unfriendly)
Type theories
Personality type refers to the psychological classification of different types of people. Personality types are distinguished from personality traits, which come in different degrees. For example, according to type theories, there are two types of people, introverts and extroverts. According to trait theories, introversion and extroversion are part of a continuous dimension with many people in the middle.
Psychoanalytic theories
Psychoanalytic theories explain human behavior in terms of the interaction of various components of personality. Sigmund Freud was the founder of this school of thought. Freud drew on the physics of his day (thermodynamics) to coin the term psychodynamics. Based on the idea of converting heat into mechanical energy, he proposed psychic energy could be converted into behavior. Freud's theory places central importance on dynamic, unconscious psychological conflicts
Behaviorist theories
Behaviorists explain personality in terms of the effects external stimuli have on behavior. The approaches used to analyze the behavioral aspect of personality are known as behavioral theories or learning-conditioning theories. These approaches were a radical shift away from Freudian philosophy. One of the major tenets of this concentration of personality psychology is a strong emphasis on scientific thinking and experimentation. This school of thought was developed by B. F. Skinner who put forth a model which emphasized the mutual interaction of the person or "the organism" with its environment. Skinner believed children do bad things because the behavior obtains attention that serves as a reinforcer.

ReplyDeleteSocial cognitive theories
In cognitive theory, behavior is explained as guided by cognitions (e.g. expectations) about the world, especially those about other people. Cognitive theories are theories of personality that emphasize cognitive processes, such as thinking and judging.
Albert Bandura, a social learning theorist suggested the forces of memory and emotions worked in conjunction with environmental influences. Bandura was known mostly for his "Bobo Doll experiment". During these experiments, Bandura video taped a college student kicking and verbally abusing a bobo doll. He then showed this video to a class of kindergarten children who were getting ready to go out to play. When they entered the play room, they saw bobo dolls, and some hammers. The people observing these children at play saw a group of children beating the doll. He called this study and his findings observational learning, or modeling.
Humanistic theories
Humanistic psychology emphasizes that people have free will and that this plays an active role in determining how they behave. Accordingly, humanistic psychology focuses on subjective experiences of persons as opposed to forced, definitive factors that determine behavior. Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers were proponents of this view, which is based on the "phenomenal field" theory of Combs and Snygg (1949). Rogers and Maslow were among a group of psychologists that worked together for a decade to produce the Journal of Humanistic Psychology. This journal was primarily focused on viewing individuals as a whole, rather than focusing solely on separate traits and processes within the individual.
Biopsychological theories
Biology plays a very important role in the development of personality. The study of the biological level in personality psychology focuses primarily on identifying the role of genetic determinants and how they mold individual personalities. Some of the earliest thinking about possible biological bases of personality grew out of the case of Phineas Gage. In an 1848 accident, a large iron rod was driven through Gage's head, and his personality apparently changed as a result, although descriptions of these psychological changes are usually exaggerated.
3. Which theory best describe the development of your personality (e.g. Psychoanalytic, Erickson, Bandura, Behavioral, etc)? Explain
My personal development can be rooted from Skinner’s Behaviorist Learning Theory which states that behavior is determined by the interaction of the person in his environment either through observation and modeling. Through observing what people in the environment I grew up into (in my case my family), I was able to develop traits and behavior that are somehow similar to that of the other members of my family.
1. I believe that one’s personality is nature or innate. Because as I observe there were traits or behaviors which I acquired to my parents. Moreover, people I interact with could also be a factor in the development of my personality. Emotional, Jolly, Humorous are some of my traits which I think up to now I possessed.
ReplyDelete2. Theories of Personality
Psychoanalytic or "first force." Although psychoanalytic strictly speaking refers to Freudians, we will use it here to refer to others who have been strongly influenced by Freud and who -- though they may disagree with nearly everything else -- do share attitude: They tend to believe that the answers to the important questions lie somewhere behind the surface, hidden, in the unconscious.
Behavioristic or "second force." In this perspective, the answers are felt to lie in careful observation of behavior and environment and their relations. Behaviorists, as well as their modern descendants the cognitivist, prefer quantitative and experimental methods. The behavioristic approach will be represented here by Hans Eysenck, B. F. Skinner, and Albert Bandura.
Humanistic or "third force." The humanistic approach, which is usually thought of as including existential psychology, is the most recent of the three. Often based on a reaction to psychoanalytic and behavioristic theories, the common belief is that the answers are to be found in consciousness or experience. Phenomenological methods are preferred by most humanists.We will examine two "streams" of the humanistic approach. The first is humanism proper, represented by Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and George Kelly.

At the stage of Intimacy vs Isolation, I can say that I'm able to be intimate/relate with my family members, as well as being comfortable of having social relationship with strangers. I succeeded this stage through the loving care of my parents and friends, and I learned to trust others.
Q. Briefly describe the development of your personality.
ReplyDeleteA. I believe that I get my personality not only in my family's trait but also in the environment. I grew with my Fathers care while my mother is in abroad, maybe I get some of my personality traits with my father because I am always with him and some of my traits is from my friends and my neighborhood. Nature and nurture is really has an impact to a persons development.
Q. Study or research on the theories of personality.
A. Psychosexual Development
People – including children – are basically hedonistic – they are driven to seek pleasure by gratifying the Id’s desires (Freud, 1920). Sources of pleasure are determined by the location of the libido (life-force). Personality development depends on the interplay of instinct and environment during the first five years of life. Parental behavior is crucial to normal and abnormal development. Personality and mental health problems in adulthood can usually be traced back to the first five years.
Eysenck’s Personality Theory
Eysenck (1952, 1967, 1982) developed a very influential model of personality. Based on the results of factor analyses of responses on personality questionnaires he identified three dimensions of personality: extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism.
Cattell's 16PF Trait Theory
Cattell (1965) disagreed with Eysenck’s view that personality can be understood by looking at only two or three dimensions of behavior.
Instead he argued that that is was necessary to look at a much larger number of traits in order to get a complete picture of someone’s personality.
Whereas Eysenck based his theory based on the responses of hospitalized servicemen, Cattell collected data from a range of people through three different of sources of data.
L-data - this is life record data such as school grades, absence from work etc.
Q-data - this was questionnaire designed to rate an individual's personality.
T-data - this is data from objective tests designed to 'tap' into a personality construct.

1. Briefly describe the development of your personality.
ReplyDeleteMy personality is developed with the involvement of the people around me. I tend to adapt some of their traits that are seen by other people around us also.
2. Study or research on the theories of personality.
Psychosexual Stages of Development
Freud (1905) proposed that psychological development in childhood takes place in a series of fixed stages. These are called psychosexual stages because each stage represents the fixation of libido (roughly translated as sexual drives or instincts) on a different area of the body. As a person grows physically certain areas of their body become important as sources of potential frustration (erogenous zones), pleasure or both. Freud believed that life was built round tension and pleasure. Freud also believed that all tension was due to the buildup of libido (sexual energy) and that all pleasure came from its discharge.
Psychosocial Stages
According to Erikson, the ego develops as it successfully resolves crises that are distinctly social in nature. These involve establishing a sense of trust in others, developing a sense of identity in society, and helping the next generation prepare for the future. Erikson proposed a lifespan model of development, taking in five stages up to the age of 18 years and three further stages beyond, well into adulthood. Erikson suggests that there is still plenty of room for continued growth and development throughout one’s life. Erikson put a great deal of emphasis on the adolescent period, feeling it was a crucial stage for developing a person’s identity.
Like Freud and many others, Erik Erikson maintained that personality develops in a predetermined order, and builds upon each previous stage. This is called the epigenic principle.
Social Learning Theory
In social learning theory Albert Bandura (1977) states behavior is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning. Unlike Skinner, Bandura (1977) believes that humans are active information processors and think about the relationship between their behavior and its consequences. Observational learning could not occur unless cognitive processes were at work. Children observe the people around them behaving in various ways. This is illustrated during the famous bobo doll experiment (Bandura, 1961). Individuals that are observed are called models. In society children are surrounded by many influential models, such as parents within the family, characters on children’s TV, friends within their peer group and teachers at school. These models provide examples of behavior to observe and imitate, e.g. masculine and feminine, pro and anti-social etc.
3. You can remember the order of these stages by using the mnemonic: “old (oral) age (anal) pensioners (phallic) love (latent) grapes (genital).
ReplyDeleteOral Stage (0-1 year)
In the first stage of personality development the libido is centered in a baby's mouth. It gets much satisfaction from putting all sorts of things in its mouth to satisfy the libido, and thus its id demands. Which at this stage in life are oral, or mouth orientated, such as sucking, biting, and breast-feeding.
Anal Stage (1-3 years)
The libido now becomes focused on the anus and the child derives great pleasure from defecating. The child is now fully aware that they are a person in their own right and that their wishes can bring them into conflict with the demands of the outside world (i.e. their ego has developed).
Phallic Stage (3 to 5 or 6 years)
Sensitivity now becomes concentrated in the genitals and masturbation (in both sexes) becomes a new source of pleasure. The child becomes aware of anatomical sex differences, which sets in motion the conflict between erotic attraction, resentment, rivalry, jealousy and fear which Freud called the Oedipus complex (in boys) and the Electra complex (in girls). This is resolved through the process of identification, which involves the child adopting the characteristics of the same sex parent.
Latency Stage (5 or 6 to puberty)
No further psychosexual development takes place during this stage (latent means hidden). The libido is dormant. Freud thought that most sexual impulses are repressed during the latent stage and sexual energy can be sublimated (re: defense mechanisms) towards school work, hobbies and friendships. Much of the child's energies are channeled into developing new skills and acquiring new knowledge and play becomes largely confined to other children of the same gender.
Genital Stage (puberty to adult)
This is the last stage of Freud's psychosexual theory of personality development and begins in puberty. It is a time of adolescent sexual experimentation, the successful resolution of which is settling down in a loving one-to-one relationship with another person in our 20's. Sexual instinct is directed to heterosexual pleasure, rather than self pleasure like during the phallic stage.
4. Which theory best describe the development of your personality (e.g. Psychoanalytic, Erickson, Bandura, Behavioral, etc)? Explain
Bandura’s theory because I have learned my personality or developed it through my environment. Whenever I go to other place I tend to observe the different personality that I have from them.
1. Briefly describe the development of your personality.
ReplyDeleteI could say that the development of my personality was greatly influenced by what others are doing. When I was a child, I would just imitate what my parents or older people would do. When I reached adolescence, I got easily influenced by friends and people who I spend most of my time with. But when I passed through teenage years, I learned how to sort out my attitude and learned how to choose according to what I believe is right and wrong.

3. Which theory best describe the development of your personality (e.g. Psychoanalytic, Erickson, Bandura, Behavioral, etc)? Explain.
I believe that my personal development would fall to two theories, Kohlberg's and Bandura's. Remembering my self-conscious desire to feel important in peer groups and receive social acceptance (Kohlberg’s pre-conventional stage), I would often conform to what others are doing (Bandura.) I would behave according to socially acceptable norms, different at home and at school (Kohlberg’s conventional stage). Growing up, I realized that the world does not revolve round me so I learned how to be mindful of others and be forgiving. To do what I should do according to my conscience and beliefs, to do right and to do what is pleasing with the Lord (Kohlberg’s post-conventional stage.)
1.Briefly describe the development of your personality.
ReplyDeleteMy personality developments result in greater self-awareness. I develop the ability to think about abstract, future possibilities and the ability to consider multiple possibilities at once. I can conceptualize multiple 'possible selves' I could become as well as long-term possibilities and consequences of my choices. Differentiation occurs as I recognizes and distinguishes the contextual influences on my own behavior and the perceptions of others. I begin to qualify my traits when asked to describe myself. Self-esteem is one's thoughts and feelings about one's self-concept and identity. I enjoy high self-esteem when engaged in supportive relationships with friends. The changing sociocultural situation helps me to develop a unique identity based on my own aspirations. Having as solid and positive relationship with my parents I am more likely to feel freedom in exploring the world, having options and tend to make more concrete goals and stable occupational commitments.

Trait Theories-This approach is one of the largest areas within personality psychology. According to this theory personality is made up of a number of broad traits. A trait is basically a relatively stable characteristic that causes an individual to behave in certain ways. Eysenck's three-dimension theory and the five factor theory of personality are some of the best known trait theories.
3. Humanist and Behavioral Theory. Based on the understanding that children are social, that meaningful learning occurs in social environments that are rich in interaction, and that learners use their prior experiences to build upon what they already know. In the past I’ve used Vygotsky’s theories in essays and reflections to explain my own observations and support statements I have made surrounding the social nature of learning.
1. Briefly describe the development of your personality.
ReplyDeleteMy Personality developed when i was in high school i began to conceptualize things and see the future of me opening up ti new things and breaking new grounds i was not afraid of trying new things and i find it very amusing. thus my personality was also a product of what other people has taught me my parents, friends and even playmates they all mad a difference in my personality development and now i am always looking back in order for me to know what was i before and those things are what made me who am i right now!
2. Study or research on the theories of personality.

Behavioral Theories
Behavioral theories suggest that personality is a result of interaction between the individual and the environment. Behavioral theorists study observable and measurable behaviors, rejecting theories that take internal thoughts and feelings into account.Behavioral theorists include B. F. Skinner
3. Which theory best describe the development of your personality (e.g. Psychoanalytic, Erickson, Bandura, Behavioral, etc)? Explain
Humanism is a paradigm/philosophy/pedagogical approach that believes learning is viewed as a personal act to fulfill one’s potential. People act with intentionality and values.
Behaviorism. In Skinner's view of learning a person, or animal for that matter, must first emit or demonstrate a specific behavior that is subsequently reinforced and thus becomes learned. Reinforcement can follow only after the new behavior occurs. This raises the question, "How can you get a new behavior to occur so you can reinforce it because it to be learned?" The answer according to Skinner involves shaping. If a person is not capable of the desired behavior then, of course, you can't reinforce the desired behavior in that person. Instead through the process of shaping you begin by reinforcing any approximation of the desired behavior. If a child can't pronounce the word you desire for them to pronounce you begin by reinforcing any approximation of that word that they can make. Then slowly you provide reinforcement only for those approximations that get closer and closer to the actual pronunciation of the word. Gradually the pronunciation of the word shaped until it becomes the correct pronunciation. Then the student is only reinforced for the correct pronunciation. Shaping works according to behaviorism because the desired behavior is reinforced and thus more likely to occur. By reinforcing only closer approximations to desired behavior the student gradually learns how to emit the desired behavior through this process of shaping.
