  1. Personality characteristics that define a person’s behavior, cognition, and emotion Psychoanalytic Theory Psychodynamic Theory Birth OrderTheory HumanisticTheory TraitTheory Social-CognitiveTheory

  2. I often feel inferior to others. I just avoid my problems rather than confronting them. Others frequently hold me back in my achievements. I have confidence I can overcome future obstacles. I too often live by other people’s standards. Self-Concept Questionnaire Indicate your agreement with each statement on a 1 to 5 scale. 1 = Very true of me 2 = Mostly true of me 3 = Somewhat true of me 4 = Slightly true of me 5 = Very unlike me

  3. I feel different from most people and wish I was more like them. I act in a certain manner to impress people and am aware I’m not the person I pretend to be. I have trouble taking criticism from others. I only partially believe in myself. I feel I am a person of worth. Self-Concept Questionnaire Indicate your agreement with each statement on a 1 to 5 scale. 1 = Very true of me 2 = Mostly true of me 3 = Somewhat true of me 4 = Slightly true of me 5 = Very unlike me

  4. I’m excessively anxious or stressed. I wish someone could tell me how to solve my personal problems. Bad luck keeps holding me back from accomplishments. I don’t worry about it if someone else judges me. I have difficulty speaking to groups of people. Self-Concept Questionnaire Indicate your agreement with each statement on a 1 to 5 scale. 1 = Very true of me 2 = Mostly true of me 3 = Somewhat true of me 4 = Slightly true of me 5 = Very unlike me

  5. I’m worried about saying the wrong thing at social affairs. I’m not afraid to meet new people and expect them to like me because I’m a worthwhile person. People seem to react to me differently than other people. I’m very sensitive. I don’t believe people when they say nice things to me. Self-Concept Questionnaire Indicate your agreement with each statement on a 1 to 5 scale. 1 = Very true of me 2 = Mostly true of me 3 = Somewhat true of me 4 = Slightly true of me 5 = Very unlike me

  6. I’m never satisfied with the work that I accomplish. I’m quiet in groups because I’m afraid of saying the wrong thing. I feel abnormal and wish I felt more like other people. I’m afraid for other people to find out what I’m really like because they might be disappointed. I’m confident in my worth as a person. Self-Concept Questionnaire Indicate your agreement with each statement on a 1 to 5 scale. 1 = Very true of me 2 = Mostly true of me 3 = Somewhat true of me 4 = Slightly true of me 5 = Very unlike me

  7. I feel comparable to my peers. I’m very self-conscious in social situations. Sometimes I don’t even try being friendly because I think people won’t like me. I feel guilty over how I feel toward certain people in my life. I could be more productive but I don’t have the energy to make it happen. Self-Concept Questionnaire Indicate your agreement with each statement on a 1 to 5 scale. 1 = Very true of me 2 = Mostly true of me 3 = Somewhat true of me 4 = Slightly true of me 5 = Very unlike me

  8. I tend to act in certain ways to be liked by others. I’m self-conscious when around people who are my superiors. I’m very sure of myself due to my solid foundational values. People say I’m talented but I wonder if I should doubt their judgment. If people knew the real me, they wouldn’t like me. Self-Concept Questionnaire Indicate your agreement with each statement on a 1 to 5 scale. 1 = Very true of me 2 = Mostly true of me 3 = Somewhat true of me 4 = Slightly true of me 5 = Very unlike me

  9. Most of my feelings are positive and natural. I’m typically pessimistic by nature. I’ve had more bad things than good things happen to me in the past and expect the same in the future. I regret a lot of the choices I’ve made. I’m not confident when placed in new situations. Self-Concept Questionnaire Indicate your agreement with each statement on a 1 to 5 scale. 1 = Very true of me 2 = Mostly true of me 3 = Somewhat true of me 4 = Slightly true of me 5 = Very unlike me

  10. In the 1960s, some psychologists who were unhappy with the “negative outlook” of psychodynamic theory and behaviorism created Humanistic theory which focused on potential for positive personal growth Although parts of this theory have roots going as far back as Socrates (and a special emphasis during the Renaissance), the two key “typical” founders are Abraham Maslowand Carl Rogers Basic belief is that people are inherently good Central focus was on an individual’s self-concept: collection of beliefs and attitudes about oneself Humanistic theorists usually test a person’s self-concept numerically through the use of surveys or questionnaires Humanistic Theory

  11. Self-Concept SCORING • First, you need to reverse score all the BOLDED questions on your answer sheet. (#s 4, 10, 14, 17, 25, 26, 33, 36) • Change “1” to “5” • Change “2” to “4” • “3”s stay as they are • Change “4” to “2” • Change “5” to “1” Then, add up all of your scores. You can use your calculator or phone if need be. 79 or lower: NEGATIVE self-concept (lower more negative) 80-119: NEUTRAL self-concept 120 or higher: POSITIVE self-concept (higher more positive)

  12. Carl Rogers believed in a “person-centered” perspective of differentiating between actual self and ideal self Actual self: who we are based on our self-concept score Ideal self: who you wish you were as a person The closer these are, the most positive your self-concept Rogers compared growth in people to growth in acorns. Whereas acorns need sun, water, and nutrients in their environment to grow, people need to be treated with the following in their environment to grow into their actual selves: Genuineness: are others open, honest, and self-disclosing to us? Acceptance: do others offer us unconditional positive regard (total acceptance without judgment)? Can you think of any negatives to unconditional positive regard? Would it ever be “bad”? Empathy: do others share and mirror our feelings? Person-Centered Perspective

  13. Abraham Maslow believed our personality/motivation is shaped by a hierarchy of needs Self-transcendence: achieving a higher goal outside oneself Self-actualization: become the ideal version of oneself Esteem: need to feel respected Love and belongingness: desire for attachment and acceptance Safety: protective security needs Physiological: physical requirements for human survival Maslow believed you work up the hierarchy… any exceptions? Hierarchy of Needs

  14. Most people tend to have positive self-concepts, partially because of the self-serving bias 90% of people rate themselves superior to their average peer; only 1% rate themselves below average Over time the theory has influenced the idea of human nature being basically good People believe this by a 4-1 margin Good Deeds Video 1 | Good Deeds Video 2 Some criticism since Maslow’s Hierarchy tends to reinforce western values (they score higher on the self-concept scales than others) There’s very little research that supports Maslow’s Hierarchy in general Other criticism that the theory in general fails to appreciate the reality of the human capacity for evil Humanistic Theory Research
