Document Summary
Jan 09/14 psych 2b03, personality, dr. day, c02: last class discusses perspective in personality. In order to understand we must enter and comprehend the world in which he/she lives: they also believe that a central construct is the notion of the self, comes from young"s. Theory: the self is a manifestation of inner unity, inner coherence, it"s all those things that belongs to us, all those experiences, sensations, feelings that we identify as mine and me. Cognitive approach: came in the late 1950s and early 1960s, now dominant approach in most areas of psychology, simple yet riches view of personality. Just like the behaviourists say that personality is nothing less or more than consistent patterns of behaviour, the cognitive say that personality is nothing less or more than consistent patterns of thinking. If you think differently, you will behave differently and be a different person: this is not the most recent approach. Jan 09/14 psych 2b03, personality, dr. day, c02.
