Psychoanalysis- Freud's theory of personality that attributes thoughts and actions to unconscious motives and conflicts; the techniques used in treating psychological disorders by seeking to expose and interpret unconscious tensions

Freud believed mind was mostly hidden

unconscious- reservoir of mostly unacceptable thoughts wishes feelings and memories. info processing of which we are unaware

preconscious area- from which we can retrieve them into conscious awarenes

repress- forcibly block from our consciousness because they would be too unsettling to acknowledge 

ice berg is associated with Freud 

ego is tip of the iceberg, superego is barely under, and id is under

id- reservoir of unconscious psychic energy that strives to satisfy basic sexual and aggressive drives, operates on pleasure principle (infant crying out for satisfaction or drug abusers)
 
ego- largely conscious, executive part of personality that mediates among the demands of the id, superego, and reality. The ego operates on the reality principle, satisfying the id's desires in ways that will realistically bring pleasure rather than pain

superego- develops around age 405, represents internalized ideals and provides standards for judgement and for future aspirations (voices of moral compassion that forces ego to consider the ideal, our morality)

overall, since id and superego are complete opposites, the ego is the middle mediator 

Freud believed personality forms during life's first few years

psychosexual stages- childhood stages of development (oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital) during which the id's pleasure seeking energies focus on distinct erogenous zones

Oral (0-18 months)- pleasure centers on the mouth: sucking, biting, chewing

Anal (18-36 months)- pleasure focuses on bowel and bladder elimination; coping with demands for control

Phallic (3-6 years)- pleasure zone is the genitals; coping with incestuous sexual feelings

Latency (6 to puberty)- a phase of dormant sexual feelings

genital (puberty on)- maturation of sexual interests

Oedipus complex- boy's sexual desires toward his mother and feelings of jealousy and hatred for the rival father, develops during phallic stage

Electra complex- same thing as Oedipus complex, but for girls

identification- process which children incorporate their parent's values into their developing superegos 

fixation- a lingering focus of pleasure seeking energies at an earlier psycho sexual stage in which conflicts were unresolved 

defense mechanisms- in psychoanalytic theory, the ego's protective methods of reducing anxiety by unconsciously distorting reality (function indirectly and unconsciously)

repression- basic defense mechanism that banishes from consciousness anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories

(there are 7 defense mechanisms, see page 561 for it)

Carl Jung was Freud's disciple

collective unconscious- Carl Jung's concept of a shared, inherited reservoir of memory traces from our species' history
-explains why different cultures share certain myths and images

Projective test- personality test that provides ambiguous stimuli designed to trigger projection of one's inner dynamics

Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)- created by Henry Murray, projective test in which people express their inner feelings and interests through the stories they make up about ambiguous scenes (they tell a story about a picture they see)

Rorschach inkblot test- the most widely used projective test, a set of 10 inkblots designed by Rorschach; seeks to identify people's inner feelings by analyzing their interpretation of the blots 

false consensus effect- the tendency to overestimate the extent to which others share our beliefs and our behaviors (people who break taxes or speed past the speed limit thinks everyone else does so as well)

terror management theory- a theory of death-related anxiety; explores people's emotional and behavioral responses to reminders of their impending death

^ALL OBJECTIVE TESTS

Social self- How others see you

Self fulfilling prophecy- you perform how people expect you to 

private self- your inner world your feelings and attitudes you don't share with others

personality- what is consistent about you, how you are the same person, what is unique about you, changes all throughout your life

role- this is persona that you play (son, brother, friend, student)

Self concept has 3 parts:
-body self (physical traits and abilities
-social self (how others see you and what you show)
private self (your inner self)

3 types of objective personality tests:
-interview (directed and non directed, which are oreo and pig respectively) 
-observation
-self interview (T/F test, aspects rating, etc)

strengths of objective tests: easy, fast, consistent scoring

Weakness: superficial, you can figure the tests out

Projective test: 3 types
-Word association tests
-thematic apperception test (TAT), uses pictures and images
-Rorschach test (inkblot)

believed that the psyche (mind) and Dynamic (energy) completes the personality

first developed the "unconscious"

studied all men, secist, obsessed with sex (libido) and aggression

detailed dream analysis/wrote many books

blamed his mom for everything

Carl Jung- also psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, used to study under Freud, but disagreed with the importance he placed on sex

his theory had 2 unconscious: Personal- repressive but can pull back out
Collective- most influential, lies in the "shadow" of Jung's theory, all the way at the bottom

anima and animus: anima is feminine qualities and animus is masculine qualities, everyone has both (this comes from the shadow) 

Sigmund Freud- Iceberg theory

Ego is your outer self

super ego morally develops

id is the unconscious

Id- the devil on your shoulder, associated with the pleasure principle, all needs should be satisfied immediately. If needs aren't satisfied, you become anxious. Wish fulfillment is forming a mental image of a situation that satisfies the instinct

ego- controls thinking and reasoning, operates in conscious and preconscious. Operates on reality principle. The middle between superego and the id, tries to satisfy both

Superego- Operates the morality principle, not present at birth and is something we learn (angel on your shoulder), wants the "ego ideal" which is the standard of excellence for ego to strive for

denial- rejection an intolerable reality

rationalization- substituting a more acceptable but false reason for behavior (failed because teacher hates you)

reaction formation- modifying an anxiety causing impulse by performing in ways opposite to one's true felings 

projection- seeing one's personality traits, attitudes, or faults in others but not in oneself

regression- retreating to an earlier developmental level involving less mature responses (boys when they are sick)

undoing- apologizing

sublimation- people re channel their unacceptable impulses into socially approved activities

displacement- shift sexual or aggressive impulses toward a more acceptable or less threatening person (kick the dog out of anger)

compensation- cover up weaknesses or frustration by over gratifying oneself in another area (suck at school, practices sport instead)

fantasy- day dreaming

identification- increasing one's feelings of self worth by identifying oneself with people or places of importance (adults living through children)

intellectualization- people use extensive vocabulary to explain relatively simple terms ]]> 2017-02-14 13:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/dgz3mzxf8rle/wish/153699131 fuyangche6178 https://padlet.com/fuyangche6178/dgz3mzxf8rle/wish/153922375 Humanistic theories- view personality with a focus on the potential for healthy personal growth 

pioneering theorists: Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers

self actualization- according to Maslow, one of the ultimate psychological needs that arises after basic physical and psychological needs are met and self esteem is achieve motivation to fulfill one's potential 

Maslow studied healthy, creative people that were notable. problem centered and not self centered

Humanists think that we are good, but can be corrupted by the environment

Rogers had the person centered perspective that held that a growth promoting climate that had 3 conditions:
-Genuineness
-Acceptance (unconditional positive regard)
-Empathy

self concept- all our thoughts and feelings about ourselves, in answer to the question "who am i"

when the ideal and actual self are nearly alike, then self concept is positive
