- Personality
- The three views on personality are known as:
- Social learning perspective. (BANDURA)
- Proposes all behavior is learned, by way of environmental experiences, and through the influence of people.
- Bandura believed that learning was stimulated by environmental experiences.
- A drawback is that it does not take into account genetically inherited factors.
- Interactionist approach (HOLLANDER)
- This proposes that personality has three levels that interact to form personality.
- 1. the psychological core - This is a persons true self.
- 2. Typical responses - changeable, become modified as they respond to the environment.
- 3. Role related behavior - most external. A direct consequence of the immediate environment
- Combines trait and social learning perspectives.
- The drawback is that it is really complex as personality combinations are unlimited.
- This proposes that personality has three levels that interact to form personality.
- Trait perspective (EYESNECK, CATTELL, GIRDANO)
- It suggests that personality is made up of a range of secondary traits from parents genes.
- Behavior is innate and enduring. It also suggests that it is genetically programmed
- Girdano proposed the narrow band theory. This suggests there are only 2 distinct personalities (type A+B)
- Eyesneck identified 4 personality traits that are arranged in a model. These being Neurotic, stable, extrovert and introvert.
- Cattell proposed that you needed to consider a larger number of traits. He examined 16 personality factors in a Questionnaire called Cattell's 16 PF test.
- A drawback is that behaviour is not always predictable and it does not account for the fact the personality is affected by the environment
- Social learning perspective. (BANDURA)
- "Personality is the sum total of an individuals characteristics which make a human unique" - Hollander
- "Personality represents those characteristics of the person that account for consistent patterns of behaviour" -Pervin
