  3. Cognitive • Ideas of ­­­­­­­­­­­­oneself, of others, and of the world shape personalities • Schemas — mental representation of people, events, and concepts • Determine how we perceive things and respond to them • How does this relate to the Social Learning Theory?

  4. Benefits & Drawbacks?

  5. Humanistic • Stresses the uniqueness of the individual • Strive for self-actualization (realization of one's unique potential) • Conscious experience; development of "the self"; subjective and private • Essentially create own personality • Abraham Maslow & Carl Rogers

  7. Common Personality Traits • Realistically oriented • Accept the world as it is • Spontaneous • Creative • Resist conformity • Independent

  9. Benefits & Drawbacks?

  10. Trait • Trait — predisposition to respond in a certain way in many different situations • Two assumptions: • Everyone possesses all traits • Traits can be quantified (put on a scale) • Amount of each trait a person possesses determines your personality

  11. Gordon Allport • Cardinal trait — trait is so strong, person is identified with it • Central trait — best describes a person • Secondary traits — less consistent (food or music preferences)

  12. The “Big Five” • Central for all people: • Openness • Open-mindedness to close-mindedness • Conscientiousness • Being responsible/dependable to impulsive/careless • Extroversion • Outgoing/energetic to quiet/reserved • Agreeableness • Sympathetic/trusting to cruel/nontrusting • Neuroticism (emotional stability) • Experience negative feelings often to experience things without getting upset

  13. Benefits & Drawbacks?

  14. Character Game • Goal: Figure out your own person/character based on YES or NO questions • Ex: Am I bossy? • Allowed to ask one initial question: • Am I a human? A cartoon? An animal? • After that, ALL questions must be about personality traits.

  15.

  17. Prompt #3 • Rank each personality theory according to how you agree with them [1 to 6]. • 1-agree with most • 6-agree with least • How do YOU think personality is developed? (Only one? Various aspects from each?)

  18. Myers-Briggs Personality Test • Based on Carl Jung’s writings • Jung presented 4 dichotomies for how people experience the world: • Extroversion – Introversion • Sensing – Intuition • Thinking – Feeling • Judging – Perception • 16 types total • Preferences; not better or worse

  19. Prompt #4 • Based on what you know about “personality”, what is a “personality disorder”? • Personality disorder — maladaptive ways of dealing with others and one’s environment; behaviors and experiences that differ from societal norms

  20. Personality Disorder Party • Determine which disorder goes with which guest • Describe how you know which person has each disorder • What are commonalities for the disorders in each cluster?
