- Cognitive Approach
- focuses on how the cognitive process affects the way we behave
- interested in why we believe in the concept of personality and the factors which promote behavior
- Holds too much emphasis on internal characteristics (personality) as they do on external factors (environment)
- For cognitivists consistencies arise because we learn from others and imitate them
- LARGELY FOCUSES ON ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND IGNORES THE ROLE OF HEREDITY OF BEHAVIOR

- while making the interpretations they have relied upon an analogy between the mind and a computer
- incoming information is processed in various ways; it is selected compared and combined with other information already compared

- based on 3 components! - ID Ego and Superego-
- dynamically interact to direct behavior - the ID is there through birth it is a basic and animal instinct even while the ego and superego are formed over time
