Review and Recall: THEORIES OF PERSONALITY

...the psychological study of personality, the application of the methods of science to the riddles posed by man's own behavior,is a relative newcomer. The answers produced by psychology are bound to be measured against those produced by the collective experience and wisdom civilized man down through the ages.

For there seem to be almost as many definitions of personality as there have been writers about it.

Personality

... the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his characteristic behavior and thought (Allport, 1961).

... a person's unique pattern of traits (Guilford, 1959).

... those habits and habit systems of social importance that are stable and resistant to change (Guthrie, 1944).

... the organization of unique behavior equipment an individual has acquired under the special conditions of his development (Lundin, 1961).

...the most adequate conceptualization of a person's behavior in all its detail (McClelland, 1951).

Guide Notes on Hans Eysenck: Three-Factor Theory

Image source - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Hans.Eysenck.jpg/330px-Hans.Eysenck.jpg

Hans Jürgen Eysenck (/ˈaɪzɛŋk/; 4 March 1916 – 4 September 1997) was apsychologist born in Germany, who spent his professional career in Great Britain.
He is best remembered for his work on intelligence and personality, though
he worked in a wide range of areas. At the time of his death, Eysenck was the
living psychologist most frequently cited in science journals.^[1]

Essential Points about Hans Eysenck

"people are above all else individuals"

Personality determines a person's unique adjustment to the environment through a more or less stable and enduring organization of:

character (will)
temperament (emotion)
intellect (cognition)
physique (bio-physiological make-up)

1) Humans possess not only consciousness but self-consciousness as well.

2) Humans are able to evaluate their performance and to render reliable reports concerning their attitudes, temperaments, needs, interests and behaviors

3) He emphasized on individual differences and genetic factors of personality, where traits and factors are largely inherited and have strong genetic and biological components

4) He made use of hyphothetico-deductive approach to extract three bipolar factors - extraversion/introversion, neuroticism/stability, psychoticism/superego

5) To be useful personality must predict behavior.

6) Hierarchical Model of Personality

Type/Super Traits
Trait Level
Habitual Responses
Specific Response Level

Image source - http://www.integratedsociopsychology.net/wpimages/wp26905862_05_1a.jpg

7) Basic Dimensions of Temperament

Extroversion/Introversion (differences on the cortical arousal level)
Stability/Instability
Psychoticism

Image Source - http://www.simplypsychology.org/Eysenck-traits.jpg

8) Eysenck with others developed several Psychometric measures - Maudsley Medical Questionnaire, Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ), Sensation Seeking Scale (developed in conjunction with Marvin Zuckerman), and Eysenck Personality Profiler (EPP).

9) He also investigated on the relationship between personality and diseases.

10) On Psychopathology and behavior change - Eysenck believes that a person develops neurotic symptoms because of the joint action of a biological system and because of experiences that contribute to the learning of strong emotional reactions to fear-producing stimuli. Majority of neurotic patients have a a high neuroticism and low extraversion scores.

- Criminals and antisocial persons have high neuroticism, high extraversion, and high psychoticism scores

Strengths

the theory is well substanstiated with empirical data and the use of statistical techniques
construction of test in assessing normal and abnormal phenomena

Weaknesses

did not make use of an explicit and independent categorization
the focus is on biological basis of personality but no emphasis on its differential impact of various situations on people

Guide Notes on George Kelly: Personal Construct Psychology

Essential Points About George Kelly

(These essential points serve as summary or an overview on the Personality Theory of George Kelly. Readers are advised to read more in order to have a deeper appreciation and understanding of his theory. Wikipedia and materials available online were used as reference as well as textbooks for these essential points.)

His theory can be considered as phenomenological - studies focused on subjective experience; cognitive since it deals with mental events; existential because of his emphasis on the future and the capacity to select one's own destiny; humanistic because it recognizes an individual's creative abilities directed at solving personal or sociological problems. For Kelly personality is adaptive and unique. In his work the influence of learning and culture was not emphasized but recognizes them as important in the growth, development and refinement of the personal construct system.

1) Constructive alternativism is the idea that, while there is only one true reality, reality is always experienced from one or another perspective, or alternative construction. There are always different ways to interpret or give meaning to any event everyone is capable of reconstruing events. Constructs provide a certain order, clarity, and prediction to a persons world.

2) Constructs are bipolar categories, the way two things are alike and different from a third, that people employ to understand the world. A construct always implies contrast. (Ex. attractive-ugly, intelligent-stupid, kind-cruel)

Source - http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/kelly.html

3) Fundamental postulate: A person's processes are psychologically channelized by the way in which he anticipates events.

4) There are 11 supporting corollaries for the basic postulate: (1) construction corollary, (2) individuality corollary, (3) organizational corollary, (4) dichotomy corollary, (5) choice corollary, (6) range corollary, (7) experience corollary, (8) modulation corollary, (9) fragmentation corollary, (10) commonality corollary, (11) sociality corollary

5) Transitional periods in a person's life occur when he or she encounters a situation that changes his or her naive theory (or system of construction) of the way the world is ordered. They can create anxiety, hostility, and/or guilt and can also be opportunities to change one's constructs and the way one views the world.

Anxiety develops when a person encounters a situation that his or her construct system does not cover, an event unlike any he or she has encountered.
Guilt is dislodgment from one's core constructs.
Hostility is "attempting to extort confirmation of a social prediction that is already failing.

6) Personal construct psychology (PCP) is a theory of personality and cognition. Kelly derived a psychotherapy approach and also a technique called The Repertory Grid Interview that helped his patients to uncover their own "constructs" (ways of seeing the world) with minimal intervention or interpretation by the therapist.

7) Repertory Grid itself is a matrix where the rows represent constructs found, the columns represent the elements, and cells indicate with a number the position of each element within each construct. The Repertory Grid was later adapted for various uses within organizations, including decision-making and interpretation of other people's world-views.

Source - http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/kelly.html

8) Concept of Humanity - optimistic view. On elaborative choice - people choose alternative that offers greater opportunity, thus in making the present choices, we look ahead and pick the alternative that will increase our range of future choices.

9) Strengths

empirical evidence of Kelly's Personal Construct Theory relate to his approaches to assessment and therapy
client give the best and most information about themselves

10) Weaknesses

lack or limited empirical basis for identifying personal constructs
emphasis on logic and rationality - overlooked emotions
