Document Summary
Emotions and feelings, regulation of emotions and feelings, and attitudes and presentation relate to personality. Assumption that accurate knowledge of a person"s personality will allow prediction of their future behaviour to be made. Personality is concerned with the whole person in terms of behaviour, thought and feelings - all of it, the abcs, not one aspect. The personality of an individual helps them, to a greater or lesser extent, to adjust to their environment. Personality is dynamic so it is stable, yet changing. Psychodynamic - common focus on unconscious and past. Humanistic - most optimistic, focused on present and future, can overcome any bad experiences in the past, focus is achieving ultimate potential which refers to self actualization.
