- - Concerned with the unconscious part of our mind
- - Our unconscious mind influences how we behave
- 1. Behaviour is influenced by different levels of consciousness
- 2. We have a tripartite personality
- 3. The influence of childhood experiences
- 1. The idea of relationships may bring up bad memories for someone. In this case ego defence mechanisms may be used to reduce anxiety. These mechnaisms can alter a person's personality which can affect a person's ability to form romantic relationships with people.
- 2. Fixations experienced as a child can cause a person's personality to change if they are repressed too much. This could mean that when it comes to finding a partner, a certain person may act irrationally.
