Document Summary
Tradition-oriented: places a strong emphasis on doing things the same way that they have always been done. Individuals with this sort of personality are less likely to try new things and to seek new experiences. That is to say, their behavior is strongly controlled by their conscience. As a result, there is little need for police to make sure that they obey the law. If they break the law, they are likely to turn themselves in for punishment. They are not worried about what others think of them and do not need constant feedback from others. Other-directed: guided by the opinions of their peers. Have more ambiguous feelings about what is right and wrong. They are worried about what others think of them at all times and crave constant feedback from others. Classical conditioning - respond to environment (dog to bell for food) Operant learning - manipulate environment (skinner and his mice-pushing button for food)
