C. Humanistic approach
- Emphasize personal responsibility, focus on the present and stress the importance of
personal growth
1. Carl Rogers
- Suggests that if uninterrupted, humans move through life showing positive
characteristics and will eventually become fully functioning persons
- If they don't succeed, it is because gaps have developed between their self-concept
and their perception of their self-concept or because they have received conditional positive
regard as children
- Client-centered therapy focuses on providing unconditional positive regard
2. Abraham Maslow
- Psychologically healthy people have attained self-actualization in the needs hierarchy,
in which they have achieved their fullest potential
Peak Experiences
- Instances when self-actualized people have powerful feelings of unity with the universe
and feel tremendous waves of power and wonder
- Interest in the self-concept has remained a focus of research
- Many of the concepts of humanistic theory are loosely defined
Maslow's Need Hierarchy
D. Trait theories
Personality Traits: specific dimensions along which individuals' personalities differ in consistent,
stable ways
Trait Theories: theories of personality that focus on identifying the key dimensions along which
people differ
1. Alport's theory
A. Central Traits: the five or ten items that best describe a person's personality
B. Secondary traits: traits that exert relatively specific and weak effects upon behaviour
C. Cardinal traits: a single trait that dominates a person's entire personality
Functional Autonomy: maintenances of patterns of behaviour by motives other than the ones
originally responsible for the behaviour's occurrence
