1. Powerpoint Presentation GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY Prof. Ferrer Destacamento Sheryl BOA IV-I Emague Arlene BOA IV-I

2. What is Psychology? The word psychology was derived from the two Greek words, psyche (soul) and logos (discourse). Psychology, or “ mental philosophy ,” was thus literally a study of soul. The term soul did not at first have religious implications such as it has today.

4. It was for some a form of motion, for some an inner flame, and for others a function of bodily processes. About centuries ago, mental philosophers began to translate psyche, as “mind” and psychology was then defined as “a study of the mind.”

5. This means that it concerned with factors of learning such as remembering and thinking. This definition continued to be in use until the present century. It was eventually replaced by the definition of psychology as “the science of behavior”. It is a science because it is systematic and empirical and is dependent upon measurement.

6. Different Schools of Psychology 1.Structuralism - headed by Wilhelm Wundt, a German, and later by E.B. Titchener, started in 1879. This is the study of conscious experience. Stimuli – sensation, ideas

7. Wilhelm Wundt

8. 2. Functionalism – headed by William James. The functionalists focused on the operations or functions of conscious activity. Examples are thinking, learning, perception to response- through actions. This also called the study of man’s adjustments to its environment.

9. William James

10. 3. Associationism – headed by Aristotle, which is concerned with the factors of Learning such as remembering and thinking. It starts with the philosophical concept that learning is the formation of bonds or connections in the nervous system.

12. 4.Behaviorism – was originated in America in 1912 and was headed by John Watson. This is the science of behavior and not of consciousness. The behaviorists believed that there can be no response without a stimulus.

13. J ohn B. Watson J ohn B. Watson

14. 5. Gestalt School – headed by Max Wertheimer in 1912. Study of human behavior an perception and with the use of both introspection and observation. The whole pattern on the total configuration.

15. Max Wertheimer

16. 6.Psychoanalytical School – headed by Sigmund Freud, insists on human desires and primitive impules as the central factors of behavior. He postulated the existence of unconscious mental processes which influence the individual’s behavior in various direct ways .

17. Sigmund Freud

18. 7. Purposivism – headed by William McDougall. He believed that objects, movements, and behavior have a definite purpose because of its hormones in life.

19. William McDougall

20. *Branches of Psychology* 1.General Psychology – explains the underlying principles of human behavior. The study on how and why people behave this way or that way.

21. General Psychology

22. 2. Comparative Psychology – treats on the behavior and mental processes of the different species. Also known as animal psychology where activities of both and animal are compared and differentiated.

24. 3.Developmental or Genetic Psychology – the study of human behavior in all aspects of growth and development. Developmental Psychology

25. 4.Child Psychology – study of human behavior from its post- natal beginnings up to early adolescence.

26. 5.Adoloescent Psychology – study of human behavior from puberty to later life. 6.Senescent Psychology – the scientific study of human behavior in old age.

27. 7.Consumer Psychology – concerned with the investigation of the varied facets of marketing and buying behavior, effects of advertising, studies of mass media, and other problems arising from the relationship between buyer and seller.

28. Consumer Psychology

29. 8. Abnormal Psychology – study of human behavior and the etiology or cause of personal defects or man’s behavior.

30. 9. Dynamic Psychology – referred to as personality psychology which is largely concerned with the understanding of the nondeviant individual case. 10.Psychiatry – concerned with the treatment of mental diseases.

31. 11.Business Psychology – study of principles of psychology as applied to business and deals particularly with the behavior of consumers. 12.Legal Psychology – used in getting testimony and evidence.

32. 13.Social Psychology – study of behavior of groups of individuals in their relationship to other groups.

33. 14.Cognitive Psychology – concerned with the mental processes involved in acquiring and using knowledge. Cognitive Psychology

34. 15.Clinical Psychology - is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment and treatment of emotional and behavioral disorders.

35. 16. Counseling Psychology - is dedicated to helping people with educational, job or career, and social adjustments.

36. 17. Educational Psychology – deals with learning, motivation, and other subjects in the actual education process together with the practical application of psychological principles to education. More

37. 18. Experimental and Physiological Psychology – study basic psychological processes as sensation, perception, learning, memory, cognition, motivation, and emotion.

38. 19. Industrial-Organizational Psychology – concerned with methods of selecting, training, counseling, and supervising personnel in business and industry.

39. 20.Community Psychology M – promoting mental health at the community level.

40. 21.Forensic Psychology – relate to our legal system, improve the reliability of witnesses and jury decisions.

43. 3.Life–History Method – make use of life–history methods. a. The Daybook Method – sometimes called as “diary of development” b. The Clinical Method – sometimes called as “ case history method” c. Bibliographical Method – analysis of people’s lives

44. 4. Survey Method or Group Method – data are obtained through written questionnaires or interviews. 5. Experimental Psychology – used to study behavior which can be brought into the laboratory and studied under controlled conditions. 6. Statistical Methods –use quantitative and qualitative classification.

50. Heredity – the process which various characteristics transmitted to the individual the time of fertilization. During fertilization, two living germ cell (sperm and egg) unite to produce a new individual. Within each of the germ cells or gametes are genetic material consisting of chromosomes and genes.

51. The chromosomes (meaning colored bodies) are found within the nuclei of cells. Chromosomes are found in pairs. They carry the genes which determine hereditary characteristics. Nature - inborn or innate characteristics transmitted from parents. Nurture – environmental factors.

52. X chromosomes – a normal female has 2 similar- looking chromosomes in pair 23. X Chromosome

53. Y chromosomes – a normal male has one X chromosome in pair 23 and one that looks differently Y Chromosomes

54. Chromosomes – structures which carry the heredity units we receive from our parents and transmit to our offspring. These are found in the nucleus of each cell in the body. Most body cell contains 46 chromosomes. At conception, the human being receives 23n chromosomes from the father’s sperm and 23 chromosomes from the mother’s ovum.

55. Chromosome

58. Turner’s syndrome

61. 3.Very aggressive – they are taller than and are reported to be unusually aggressive. Human fertilization is the union of a human egg and sperm, usually occurring in the ampulla of the fallopian tube.

62. It is also the initiation of prenatal development. Scientists discovered the dynamics of human fertilization in the nineteenth century. Fertilization (also known as conception, fecundation and syngamy), is the fusion of gametes to produce a new organism. The process involves a sperm fusing with an ovum, which eventually leads to the development of an embryo.

63. Human Fertilization

64. It is when first of all the acrosome at the head tip produces enzymes, which cuts through the outer jelly coat of the egg. After that has happened, the sperm plasma fuses with the egg’s plasma membrane.Finally, the Head disconnects with the body, and the egg can now travel down the Fallopian tube to reach the womb, where the baby grows.

65. Multiple birth A multiple birth occurs when more than one fetus is carried to term in a single pregnancy. Different names for multiple births are used, depending on the number of offspring. Common multiples are two and three, known as twins and triplets .

66. Multiple Birth

67. What is inherited? Physical Traits – physical appearance Mental Traits – intelligence and special talents

68. Environment 1 . Internal Environment – those stimulating acting within the organism. Includes the intracellular system consisting of physical and chemical forces within the cell that influence the genetic materials of the nucleus and extracellular system consisting of the blood and the lymph and the pressures that surround the cells and influence their growth and development.

69. 2. Prenatal Environment and External Environment – stimuli from the outside consisting of the amniotic fluid that surrounds the fetus, placenta, umbilicard cord. 3. Postnatal Environment – consists of the various complex types of stimulation that confront the child after birth.

70. Nervous System – the most complex and elaborate system structures in the human body. It is composed of group of interrelated and interrelating units that enable man to receive stimuli from the environment and to make the necessary and appropriate responses to stimuli. It regulates the behaviour of the whole individual to enable him to survive.

72. The Neuron – basic unit if the nervous system. Responsible in making body necessary responses or actions.

73. 3 major parts of neuron : 1.Dendrites – neuron fiber carrying impulse to nerve cell body from synapse.

74. 2. Cell body – the compact central portion of a neuron 3. Axon – carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body and into the end brush.

77. 2.Efferent or Motor Neurons – these carry messages from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands. 3.Connecting or Association Neurons – these are ‘middle-men’ between neurons. They are between the sensory and motor neurons. Most of them are found within the central nervous system.

78. Glia Cell or Neuroglia – other cells in the central nervous system. It is smaller than neurons. Their function is to provide support to the neurons.

79. Synapse – the only way that a neuron can communicate with other neurons. It is a microscopic gap, about eighteen-millionths of an inch wide, between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another neuron.

80. Synapse

81. Nerve Impulse – is a wave of electro-chemical disturbance propagated along a nerve fiber.

83. A. Brain – is that portion of the nervous system that is encased in the cranial bones.

84. It composed of soft nerve tissues covered by three membranes together known as meninges.

85. Three Major Sub–Divisions of the Brain 1. Hindbrain – within the hindbrain are the medulla oblogata, cerebellum, and pons varoli.

86. Medulla oblongata – the lowest portion of the brain. It connects the spinal cord. It contains center that regulate heart beat, blood pressure, and breathing and it controls the activities of the internal organs.

87. Cerebellum – is situated at the back of and above the medulla. It controls body balance.

88. Pons Varoli – contains nerves fibers that connect both hemispheres of the cerebellum with each other as well as with nerve fibers that transmit neutral impulses upward and downward within the nervous system.

89. 2. Midbrain – contains nerve tracks that connect the cerebrum with the brain stem and the spinal cord. It also contains neurons that are important for visual and auditory functions.

90. 3. Forebrain – the highest part of the brain, is divided into three main parts: the thalamus, the limbic system, and the cerebrum.

91. Thalamus – is the brain’s major relay station connecting the lower the lower structures of the brain and the spinal cord with cerebrum. - In the thalamus lie the cell bodies of important connecting neurons for the various senses.

93. Limbic System – includes such areas as the amygdala, the hippocampus, the septum and portions of the hypothalamus and thalamus is a complex organization of neutral structures and pathways carrying messages between the lower and higher parts of the brain. It receives sensory messages from the visceral organs and helps control activities.

95. Amygdala – which is connected with the hippocampus seems to be the main area involved with emotions. It is fundamental for self- preservation. Hippocampus – involved with memory, especially the formation of long-term memory.

96. Hippocampus and Amygdala

97. Cerebrum – the largest part of the brain. It is divided into two halves called the cerebral hemispheres. These hemispheres contain the center for sensory integration and for voluntary motor activities. - They also play important roles in governing memory and intelligence.

100. The peripheral nervous system.

101. Afferent nerves - the nerves carrying sensory input to the central nervous system Efferent nerves – the one’s carrying motor output away from the nervous system.

102. B. Spinal Cord The spinal cord is composed mainly of nerve connections running between the brain and the various parts of the body. It is long, tapering tube which occupy the hollow interior of the vertebral column, through the opening of which the spinal nerves enter and emerge from the cord. There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves.

105. Somatic Nervous System

108. Endocrine Glands Hormones – glands which are compose of cells that specialize in secreting highly complex chemical substance. Duct glands – glands that pour out their secretion trough tubes. Ex. milk glands, salivary glands, gastric glands on the walls of the stomach and the liver.

109. The major endocrine glands: ( Male left, female right) 1 Pineal gland 2 Pituitary gland 3 Thyroid gland 4 Thymus 5 Adrenal gland 6 Pancreas 7 Ovary 8 Testes Endocrine System

110. Ductless glands - glands secrete hormones directly into bloodstream. 1. Pituitary Glands It is found below the brain stem and is only a little larger than a pea. It is sometimes called the master glands because its secretes hormones that act on particular endocrine and stimulates their growth and activity.

112. For example, it sends hormones to the thyroid, adrenals, gonads in order to stimulates them to produce their own hormones. The pituitary gland has two lobes, an anterior lobe and a posterior lobe. The anterior lobe secretes several hormones, one of these are growth hormones which promotes and control normal increase in size of the body.

113. 2. The Thyroid Glands It is located in the neck produce the hormone thyroxin which influences the rate of the body metabolism especially oxidative or respiratory processes in all cells of the body.

115. 3.Parathyroid Glands - The parathyroid glands are located on the thyroid. They secrete parathormone, a hormone necessary to control the balance of various minerals in the blood stream especially calcium. It is essential to the maintenance of proper level of calcium in the blood and for the control of calcium metabolism in the cells.

117. 4.The Thymus - Located in the upper chest of humans and some other animals, there is two- lobed gland, the thymus.

118. 5. The Adrenals Located on the upper end of each kidney. Each adrenal has two parts: the medulla(inner part), which secretes adrenalin also known as epinephrine and nor-adrenalin or nor-epinephrine, the cortex or outer part which considered as an amazing endocrine factory since it produces very many different hormones.

119. - This gland continues to grow in size from infancy to puberty but after puberty, it slowly shrinks and is almost none existent in all age. The thymus gland therefore inhibits sexual development during childhood, but ceases to function after. - Sometimes called gland of childhood.

121. * Adrenalin - referred to as the emergency hormone because it enables the individual to cope with emergency situations. 6. Islets of Langerhans This are a group of cells located in the pancreas. They secrete insulin which is needed in the regulation of blood sugar by the cells. Its primary function is to control the metabolism of glucose.

122. This photograph shows a mouse pancreatic islet, an often spherical group of hormone-producing cells . Insulin is labelled here in green, glucagon in red, and the nuclei in blue. Islets of Langerhans

123. 7. The Gonads This refer to the ovaries in the female and testes in the male which produce sex hormones. The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone. The testes produce the male sex hormone testosterone. These hormones influence the appearance of the secondary sex characteristics, the maturation of the reproductive organs, and the sex drive.

124. Male Reproductive Organ

125. Female Reproductive Organ

127. Growth and Development Growth – refers to quantitative changes-increase in size and structure. An individual grows physically as well as mentally. Development – refers to qualitative changes-habits and attitudes.

128. Growth and Development

135. Fetal stage – developing infants becomes known as fetus.

137. Stages of Human development 1-2 months – Tonic – neck reflex position. Rolls partly to side at one to two months 3 months – On the verge of rolling position 4 months – Turns to prone from supine position. Symetrical position head in mid- position but tonic- neck reflex position is still seen briefly.

138. 5months – Turns back to supine from prone position. 6-7months – Rolls from stomach to stomach. 8months – Alternates from prone to sitting top prone position; crawls 9 months – Pulls himself to standing position by holding on to trail. 10-11months – Sits with good control; cruises while holding on to trail; creeps 12 months – Walks evenly if only be hand is held.

139. Cognitive Development - involves changes on how children understand and think about their world as they grow older. Piaget’s Theory – relationships between stimuli and observable responses. a. we cannot understand learning without understanding thinking b. that children think differently from adults .

140. Stages in Piaget's theory of cognitive-development

147. Stimulus – any from of energy capable of exiting the nervous system like light waves, sound waves, and the chemical energy that causes the sensation taste and smell. Receptor – is a specialized nerve ending capable of responding to energy. Senses – mechanisms which convert stimulus energy into neutral energy.

148. *Five Human Senses* 1.VISION The organ for vision is the eye. It is stimulated by light waves that strike the retina where the photo-sensitive cells- the rod and the cones- are located. The rods and cones are the receptor for vision.

149. Parts of Human Eye

151. Choroid Coat - the middle layer, a pigmented layer. It contains some of the blood vessels that supply the eye with blood. It also absorbs imperfectly focused light rays. In the front part of the eye, it becomes modified to from the iris and the cilliary blood. Pupil – the central opening of the iris

152. Iris – a circular arrangement of muscles that contract and expand to change the size of the pupil depending upon the intensity of illumination called light or dark adaptation. The color of the eye is due to the pigment in the iris Accommodation – the process when the lens become thinner to bring faraway objects into focus and thickens to focus on nearly objects.

154. Presbyopia

162. Structure of the ear. The ear is divided into three parts: The outer ear - it is the visible part of the ear, composed of the pinna, the auditory canal, and the tympanic membrane commonly called eardrum.

164. The middle ear – an air- filled chamber that is connected to the pharynx by the eustachian tube.

165. This connection of the middle ear to the pharynx serves to equalize the pressure on the two sides of the eardrum. The middle ear structure is composed of tree small bones or ossicles: the mallleus (hammer), the incus (anvil), and the stapes (stirrup). These bones are hanging into the system of levers, so that the movement of the eardrum is transmitted to a membrane called the oval window.

166. The inner ear – can find a cochlea which is a fluid- filled bony structure shaped like a snail shell. It is the organ of hearing. There are three canals in the cochlea–the cochlear canal, the tympanic canal, and the vestibular canal.

169. 3. SMELL - The receptors for smell are found at the olfactory epithelium located at the very top of the nasal passages. -They are sensitive only to gases and to volatile substances that have been dissolved in the air.

170. Parts of Human Nose

171. 4. TASTE Much of the sensation depends on other factors-on warmth, coldness, the mild irritation caused by certain spices, and above all, on smell. When our nostrils are stuffed because of colds. Food seems almost tasteless. The tastebuds are the receptors for taste. They respond to four qualities of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

172. Parts of Human Tongue

173. 5. THE SKIN SENSES The skin has four separate senses: pain, pressure, cold, and warmth. The receptors fro the skin senses are nerve endings which come in four general forms: free nerve endings, globular bulbs, egg- shaped corpuscles, and “baskets” surrounding root hairs.

174. Parts of Human Skin

175. KINESTHESIS This is the sense of bodily movements. Its receptors are nerve endings found in muscles, tendons, and linings of joints. EQUILIBRIUM This is also called as the Static Sense. Two kinds of receptors give information about movements of the head and permit a sense of balance of the body.

176. These are in the semicircular canals and the vestibular canal. Both are located in the inner ear next to cochlea. THE ORGANIC SENSE This give s the result of the sensitivity of the visceral and other internal organs oft he body. Among the visceral organs are the stomach, intestines, sex structure, throat, hear and lungs.

177. PERCEPTION Chaplin defines perception as the process of knowing objects and objective events by means of senses. This sensory input consists of nerve impulses. They carry a sort of raw, undigested information about the environment. The individual must convert it into a meaningful information. Perception, then, is the organization of sensory input into meaningful experiences.

178. PERCEPTUAL CONSTANCY The perception of an object and all of its properties as constant and unchanging in spite of the continuously changing sensations of these properties outline the scope of object constancies. Our perceptual organization remains relatively stable even though some aspects of the pattern within the optical array undergo great changes.

180. Figure and Ground

182. Similarity

183. * The principle of proximity – there is a tendency to perceive stimuli which are near one another as belonging together.

184. *The principle of closure – when fragmentary stimuli form enough of a familiar figure, we tend to perceive the whole figure, ignoring the missing part of parts.

185. *The principles of continuity – stimuli which from a continuous pattern are perceived as a whole, the pattern they make generally appears as a figure apart from the ground.

186. ATTENTION AND PERCEPTION Perception is selective. The direction of perception toward selected objects is called attention. A number of stimulus conditions help determine the direction of attention

187. DEPTH PERCEPTION This is the ability to see three- dimensional space and accurately judge distances. A study of perception would be incomplete without considering perceiving the third dimension- distance and depth.

188. Perception - Depth Perception

191. 1.Illusions based on relative size.

192. 2. Illusions based on intersecting lines.

193. 3. Ponzo illusion.

195. Intelligence is used to attempts to evaluate and measure actual or potential ability to perform selected tasks by complex learning and thinking. In the popular usage, the concept refers to variations in the ability to learn, to get along in the society, and to behave according to contemporary social expectations.

197. Interpretation of Intelligence Test Result IQ (Intelligence Quotient) = MA (Mental Age)___ X 100 CA (Chronological Age) Where: MA = derived score from the pupil’s mental development CA = present age

198. Uses of Intelligence Tests Intelligence is not a single, unitary ability, but a composite of several functions. Typical intelligence tests designed for use in our culture with school age children or adults discoverabilities to deal with numerical and other abstract symbols aside from measuring verbal abilities.

199. Most intelligence tests can therefore be regarded as measures of scholastic aptitude. Meaning of an IQ IQ is a single score which indicates the individual’s general intellectual level. Several investigations reveal that the IQ is not fixed and is amenable to modification by environmental interventions.

200. INTELLIGENCE LEVELS Level ` IQ Range Severe Mental Retardation or Custodial ....................Below 25 Moderate Mental Retardation or Trainable....................25 – 50 Mild Mental Retardation or Educable............................50 – 70 Borderline Defective...................................................70 – 80 Low Average......................................................... ....80 - 90 Normal Average.......................................................90 – 110 High Average.........................................................110 – 120 Superior.................................................................120 – 130 Very Superior.........................................................130 – 140 Genius..............................................................40 or greater

205. Learning – is a mental activity by means of which knowledge and skills, habitats, attitude and ideals are acquired, retained, and utilized resulting in the progressive adaptation and modification of behavior. It cannot be effective unless maturation or readiness exists.

219. Retention and Transfer Retention – refers to the extent to which material originally learned still persists Transfer – occurs when whatever is learned in one situation is used in anew different situation.

220. Memory and Forgetting Memory – a term to label the way facts are impressed, retained and later recalled. Forgetting – failure to retain what was learned.

225. Thinking – refers to the mental manipulation and combination of images that use symbols as “inner representations” of objects and events. Thinking includes such mental activities as association of ideas, memory, perception, judgment (logic), reasoning, creativity, problem- solving and even dreaming.

226. An American psychologist, Clifford Morgan, states that thinking consists of symbolic mediation: Mediation – means that thinking fills in the gap between a stimulus situation and the response of the person to it

227. Symbolic –means that thinking is done with processes within us that symbols – representations – of our previous experience with the world. Memory – a term used to label the way facts and past experiences are impressed, retained and later recalled. It is the power of remembering past objects and states of consciousness .

228. Memorizing – is a kind of learning which focuses largely around verbal material. It includes rote memorizing, learning how to study with greater efficiency, how to recall what has been learned, and how to recognize persons and places.

229. Conceptual Thinking – the thinking people engage in, in which concepts are the mediating processes. Verbal Thinking – involves words as well as the concepts for which the word stand.

236. In explaining the behavior of people, we start our description with reference to some kind of active driving force: the individual seeks, the individual wants, the individual fears. In addition, we specify an object or condition toward which that force is directed; he seeks wealth, he wants peace, he fears illness.

237. In order to understand the behavior of the individual and to know why he behaves the way he does, we have to look into his motive, and its goal because there will be no goal if there is no motive.

238. Motivation The term motivation is derive from the word, “motive” which means the inner state that energizes, activates or moves and that which directs behavior towards our goals. Other terms used to describe motivation are “drive,” “needs,” or “desire.”

239. Motivation starts when a person perceives a need that must be satisfied. This perception occurs when some form of stimulus attracts a person’s attention to the need. When the person perceives the need, he is motivated to act in order to satisfy.

240. Drive Drive is psychological condition which impels the organism to become active. It is unlearned, and is engaged in for immediate satisfaction. The gaining of satisfaction reduces or eliminates tensions caused by the drive or urge. Human drives function as inner active forces which affect the individual’s thinking, feeling, and behavior.

241. Motive Hilgard (1990) defines a motive as “something that incites the organisms to action or that sustains and gives direction to action once the organism has been aroused.” It can be regarded as characterizing those internal conditions or forces that tend to impel an individual toward the attainment of certain goals.

242. Goal This refers to a substance, object or situation capable of satisfying a need and toward which motivated behavior is directed. Need A need is defined as “a lack of something required for the survival, health or well-being of the individual.” Drives, needs and motives are often used interchangeably.

243. Origin of Motives Motives originate either from a biological or a psychological source or from an environmental influence . A motive may arise from a biological need such as the need for food or water which will drive an individual to seek food when hungry or drink when thirsty.

244. Motives may also be caused by environmental influence. A predominant view is that human motivation comes from either a small number of basic urges or even one basic urge and that all aspire for family prestige, social status, and security.

245. Classification of Motives A. Physiological Motives or Survival Motives Physiological motives are those directly related. To normal body functions such as the need for air, food, water, excretion of wastes, rest, protection from the extremes of heat and cold, sleep, and avoidance of pain.

250. The so-called motives substantially depend on social groups and concern social dominance, comformity to societal norms (fads, fashions, customs, and mores), and obedience to authority. The common psychological or social motives that lead us to affiliate and interact with others are the need for security, social approval, affection, sex, and dependence.

257. It is a desire to attain a personality of a greater status. Status Drive – refers to the need to have a high rank in society, to be respected by people we know and not to be considered inferior, to be highly regarded by them.

261. Theories of Motivation Motivation theories are products of man’s thinking. man formulates theories of motivation while trying to explain the behavior of his fellowman, particularly the reason behind people’s actions.

262. Theory of Sequential Development The organization of basic needs described by Abraham H. Maslow, a social anthropologist, is helpful in understanding the variety of needs of an individual. Arranged from the lowest to the highest levels, they are:

267. the ID, the EGO, and the SUPEREGO. ID – is the amoral part of the personality. It is primitive and unconscious. It is the savage, animalistic nature of man such as the sex drive and the urge to destroy.

268. EGO – consists of ways of behaving and thinking that are socially acceptable. It is sometimes called the “self.” It delays the satisfaction of the id and channels the libido into socially approved outlets. This is partly unconscious because it is in communication with the id.

269. The ego functions as the executive with veto powers of all that the id attempts to energize in seeking fulfilment of its desires. SUPEREGO The superego corresponds to what is commonly referred to as conscience. It is the moral part of personality.

270. It also restrains the activity of the ego. Its main concern is to decide whether something is right or wrong so that it can act in accordance with morel standards authorized by the agents of society.

275. Both these theories were advanced by Alfred Adler, an early disciple of Freud but who later reject the theory of psychoanalysis. Actually, there are seven principles of human behavior which present accurately the salient features of Adler’s work.

276. These are the principles of: (1) inferiority, (2) superiority, (3)style of life, (4) creative self, (5) conscious self, (6) fictional goals, and (7) social interest.

279. Superiority does not mean power over men, but that each human being is striving to be superior within himself and not necessarily in competition with other men. Superiority, therefore, means “Superiority over oneself.” It is the prime mover in life, the dynamism that describes why man does the things he does.

280. Need Theory This theory was advanced by Henry Muray, an American who constructed a projected test known as Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) to measure human psychological needs.

281. He was able to identify 20 needs which he believes are present in almost every individual although they may vary in strength and intensity. Some of these needs are the need for achievement, affiliation, aggression, autonomy, dependence, dominance, exhibition, avoidance, succorance, etc.

282. Theory of Functional Autonomy of Motives This theory was advanced by Gordon Allport who states that the motives, continue to function automatically, despite the absence of further reinforcement of physiological conditions originally responsible for them.

284. Although we commonly think of ourselves as being generally reasonable and rational, actually only a relatively small part of our behavior results from rational activity- the end product, that is, of the deliberately and conscious process of reasoning.

285. We live in a culture that places a high value on reasoning and thinking; hence, we are inclined to think of ourselves as primarily rational individuals and consequently overlook the nonrational factors in our behavior and the decisions we make.

286. Psychologists prefer to speak of ‘ emotional factors, ” “ emotional processes, ” or “ emotional behavior ” rather than of “ emotion. ” Emotion is a very difficult word to translate into behavioural terms.

287. The term emotion comes the Latin verb movare which means to stir up, agitate, upset, or move. Smith (1973) defines emotion as a descriptive term referring to variations in level of arousal, affective sate or mood expressive movements, and attitudes.

288. It has also defined as a feeling which is accompanied by characteristic behavioural or psychological events. It also involves a change in the blood chemistry of the body. It is a complex process involving minute physiological, neural, and glandular changes in the entire human being and not just a part of him.

290. Among the physiological changes caused by emotions, the most easily noticeable are the changes in our circulatory system. Another physiological change during an emotional experience is noted in the respiratory system. Gasping for breath and sighing are the external manifestations of these changes.

291. Third physiological change is manifested by the secretion of duct or ductless glands during strong emotions. An example of a duct gland stimulated by emotional response is the sweat glands. All of these are due to the stimulation of the nervous system especially the sympathetic autonomic nervous system.

293. Vocal Expressions- language of laughter nearly always indicates joy among normal individuals. Vocal expressions are detected by means of cues. Loudness, pitch or change of pitch may serve as a cue to the emotion being expressed.

296. The common sense view involves three steps: first, the person perceives the situation that evokes the emotion; second, he becomes aware of the emotion; then, he react emotion. This view states that a person experiences the emotion first before he reacts to it. He proposed the following steps in an emotional experience.

297. First, we perceive the situation; second, we react, our hearts pound, and we find ourselves running away. Carl G. Lange, like James, thought that emotion is not due to the perceived, physiological changes that occur, the emotion follows. Later theories state that emotions involve both physiological and cognitive associations

301. This theory holds that while the cortex is engaged in intellectual interpretation of verbal and related symbols, the limbic system makes interpretations in terms of emotions or feelings that go with the emotional experience. Visceral Brain – refers to interpretations of feeling arising from the internal organs of the body.

302. Basic Emotional Responses Among the more common emotional responses are fear, rage, and love. These have referred to as the basic emotions, since other emotions emerge or develop from them. At birth, the emotion of general excitement is easily discernible.

303. The development of emotional response follows a general-to-specified pattern. Later as the child grows older, specific responses become manifest. By the age of twenty-four months, the repertoire of emotions is nearly complete. From the general emotion of anger, a more specific emotional response like jealousy or hostility develops.

304. By the time the child is about eighteen months, he/she is able to express jealousy. These emotional responses are affected directly by such factors as learning and motivation. When a child is born, he is born with the capacity to love, but as an emotional response is the product of learning and maturation.

305. Fear A very common emotional response to environmental stimuli is fear. The child encounters many and varied situations eliciting fear, and as he grows older, he learns through experience and learn to avoid occasions of fear. Fear has been used in brainwashing and other forms of torture.

307. Learning and experience add to our repertoire of fears and anxiety. The tensions of daily living tend to produce fears in us, some real, some imagined. Many of our fears tend to disrupt our personality. Other manifestations of fear are distress, grief, and worry. Even sympathy carries with it some elements of fear.

308. Fears are learned, but they can also be controlled and eradicated. Experiments and studies on fear show that fears can be removed by a process of extinction.

309. Anger We often express our anger before we have thought about it. It is strong emotion that can even be disastrous. The child shows his anger when his motives are blocked; the adult does the same thing, although his anger may be a milder form because he has learned to control it.

311. Annoyance, disgust, disappointment, wrath, scorn, hatred, and frustration are among the manifestations of anger. Like fear, anger can be controlled, and it is said that the more educated the individual is, the more or greater control he has over his anger. The person who has not learned to control his anger response has many reactions he may regret later.

312. Anger can also become a habit with some individuals, and we refer to such a person as hot-tempered, cross, or irritable. While there are occasions for righteous indignation, the person should think first before giving vent to his anger.

313. Love The pleasant experiences of joy, elation, laughter, excitement, thrill, affection, and happiness have their roots in the emotional response of love. The development of love stems from the early experiences of the individual from birth.

315. If the child is reared with love and affection, he learns to love others. The reactions to love are learned from early childhood. They are usually patterned after affectionable responses that the individual sees or experiences.

316. Love between sexes is governed by social and cultural values operating within the environment of the individual. Physiologically, the maturing of the sex glands during adolescence determines the emotional interest the boy manifests in a girl and vice versa. Any emotional behaviours are stimulated and motivated by love.

317. Thoughtfulness, graciousness, and refinement in manners, kindness, gentleness, tenderness, affections, care, pride, elation, delight, and pleasure are among the positive reactions emanating from love.

318. Emotional responses vary in intensity; how we respond to stimuli depends on the circumstances and the environment. It is a fact that we can vary our responses depending on how much we have learned to control or educate our emotions, so to speak

321. We dislike people who are temperamental. We discourage shouting or boisterous laughing and we teach children to control their laughter. From childhood, we teach children to follow conventions, especially those that refer to behavior. People ’ s actions are governed by social sanctions and taboos.

323. We also learn from experience that a certain situation may provoke extreme anger, so we try to remove ourselves from such occasions to prevent the undesirable response. The educated individual learns to distinguish between an intelligent answer and an emotional one.

325. . Such people expend a lot of useless energy because they are highstrung and impatient about things. Their hostility toward others is more manifested than those of emotional stable individuals. They are impulsive and tend to make rash decisions.

326. They are less sociable and tend to become frustrated over the reactions of other people. these people are often touchy and easily offended. They are defensive in their reactions, and often have a cynical attitude towards others.

327. Obviously, this description of temperamental persons will show that such individuals have very poor control of their emotional behavior. Fortunately, the behavior that is opposite to the one described above is attainable. Emotional control can be attained through patient and persistent-effort to overcome the bad habit.

329. The psychologists and psychoanalysts hold that repressed feelings are not lost. They merely sink into the subconscious. A person who suppresses all his emotions will not find joy and excitement from life. There are some people who are afraid to release their emotions. In so doing, they get detached from other and often keep to themselves.

330. On the other hand, some people may get so involved in their jobs that they feel frustrated when some emotional situations disrupt their entrenchment in their jobs. A healthy balance between emotional release and suppression may sometimes prevent a person from certain undesirable actions as in the case of a spinster who remains single all her life, because she does not want to risk being unhappy in married life.

332. When a child feels frustrated, making him cry out his frustrations may help prevent future tantrums, but he may feel he is abandoned in his problems. On the other hand, when the mother takes her baby in her arms and tries to calm her down, the child feels secure and he will be receptive to explanations later on.

333. Gradually, the child will learn that rules and regulations enforced kindly and consistently can help him deal with his emotional problems. Emotional control also calls for awareness of reality. The person who loses a parent should realize that there are some things we cannot prevent.

334. It is all right for him to grieve over the loss, but he cannot go on brooding. He has to adjust to the new situation. This will need time, of course, but emotional control cannot be achieved over night. Emotional control may involve choice between alternatives that may not altogether be satisfactory.

335. In some cases, it may involve a choice of the less evil. One should learn than in life, we cannot always have success. We have to learn to face failures, and we realize we may, that sometimes, failure can be the stepping stone to success.

337. For example, we go to a basketball game expecting our team to win but we are aware of the fact that our team may lose, so we are prepared for both situations. Culturally, there are emotional reactions expected of girls and of boys. For instance, girls may express their emotions by crying, but boys may not.

338. Both boys and girls have to learn emotional expressions expected of them. Part of emotional control involves a general awareness of the types emotional problems one has to encounter and what emotional reactions are expected to the individual meeting the problem.

340. Definition of Personality Personality literally means ”to sound through” which is derived from the Latin words - “per sonare.” It was first used as a term to described the sounds that a masked actor projects. It is the sound and the character that he portrays which is term as his personality.

341. Personality

342. Gordon Allport (1990) defines personality as “a pattern of habits, attitudes and traits that determine an individual’s characteristic, behavior and traits.” He further describes personality as “the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychological system that determine his characteristics behavior and thoughts.”

351. Rorschach Test

352. The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is another projective device which is commonly used. The subject is presented sequentially with a series of photographs or drawings and is asked to say who the individuals are each picture, what is going on, and what the outcome will be.

353. Thematic Apperception Test TAT

354. Another type of semi-structured projective test is the Incomplete Sentence Test, often called the Sentence Completion Test (SCT) . The subject is asked to write a number of sentences, each of which begins with one of a prepared series of “stems” or phrases

355. Sentence Completion Test If only I could_____________________ People I know____________________ I can always _____________________ I think guys______________________ What makes me sad is ____________ I think girls______________________ My father _______________________ Where I live_____________________ My mother was the type____________ My health is____________________

356. Rosenzweig’s Picture - Frustration Study is a good example of the ingenuity that goes into the construction of some projective test. The subject is presented with 24-cartoon-like pictures involving two central characters, one of whom is involved in frustrating or annoying situation.

358. Just choose the pattern which appeals most to you and this test will tell you what you are like.

You would never blindly imitate what is "in"; on the contrary, you seek to live according to your own ideas and convictions, even if this means swimming against the tide.

361. Introspective Sensitive Reflective You come to grips more frequently and thoroughly with yourself and your environment than do most people. You detest superficiality; you'd rather be alone than have to suffer through small talk.

Your pronounced strength of will projects your self-assurance to others. You are never fully satisfied until you have accomplished your ideas.

364. Peaceful Discreet Non Aggressive You are easy-going yet discreet. You make friends effortlessly, yet enjoy your privacy and independence.

You value a certain level of culture on the part of the people with whom you associate.

366. Romantic Dreamy Emotional You are a very sensitive person. You refuse to view things only from a sober, rational standpoint. What your feelings tell you is just as important to you. In fact, you feel it is important to have dreams in life, too. You reject people who scorn romanticism and are guided only by rationality. You refuse to let anything confine the rich variety of your moods and emotions

367. Dynamic Active Extroverted You are quite willing to accept certain risks and to make a strong commitment in exchange for interesting and varied work. Routine, in contrast, tends to have a paralyzing effect on you. What you like most is to be able to play an active role in events. In doing so, your initiative is highly pronounced.

368. *Theories of Personality* A.Theory of Body Types (William Sheldon). This theory relates personality with bodily constitution, health, and vigor.

376. E. Theory of Personality Based on Birth Order The advocates of this theory, amidst controversy, stress that growing personality trait is attributed to family rank. They say that whatever kind of personality you possess is in one way or another influenced by the rank you occupy in the family.

379. F. Psychoanalytic Theory. As mentioned earlier, Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, believed that personality has three structures: the Id, the ego , and the superego. The id can be thought of as a sort of storehouse of biologically based motives and instinctive reactions for satisfying.

380. G. Superiority and Compensation Theory. Alfred Adler, an early disciple of Freud, rejected Freud’s theory emphasizing the biological drives, sex in particular. He emphasize the drive for superiority or power. It is to Adler that we owe the concept of the inferiority complex. Because of this feeling, we try to overcome our weaknesses.

381. H. Trait Theory. Gordon Allport developed this theory assuming a multiplicity of needs that are never quite the same from one individual to the next. One is the concept of the uniqueness of personality. Each person with his unique background of childhood experiences, develops a set of traits that are unique to him.

383. Frustration Frustrations are experiences which are part of our everyday lives. They occur when goal achievement is blocked. A wide range of obstacles both environmental and internal can lead to frustration.

384. Conflict Conflict may produce frustration. Conflict is defined as “the simultaneous occurrence of two mutually antagonistic or impulses.” If a boy, for example, wants to watch the TV the night before his examinations but wishes to top the exams, cannot achieve satisfaction of his desires, he is experiencing a conflict.

386. 2.Suppression is the deliberate, conscious control of unpleasant experiences, and undesirable thoughts or impulses. This serves the same purpose as repression but involves the conscious intent of the individual. 3. Projection is the process of shifting the responsibility for an act or thought from oneself to an outside agency or to another person.

387. 3.Displacement is a special form of projection. This is the shifting of a response or reaction from its original object to another which is less dangerous. 4.Reaction formation is the unconscious attempt to reverse the original behavior by a substituted activity. This takes place where the original behavior or impulse is heavily laden with guilt feelings.

388. 5.Rationalization is a device whereby the individual provides plausible reasons for his behavior, rather than the actual reasons which are too painful to acknowledge. 6.Fantasy is a mental mechanism whereby a person substitutes imaginary satisfactions for real satisfactions.

389. 7. Identification is used to cope with frustration by identifying with someone else. An individual makes himself feel like, or act like, another person. 8.Regression is defined as a return to more primitive modes of behavior. This is a childish behavior following frustration.

390. 9. Compensation is usually defined as the exaggeration of a desirable trait to reduce feeling of inferiority caused by an undesirable trait. 10. Sublimation is an inner defense mechanism by which more primitive and socially less acceptable forms of motive gratification are replaced and are then further developed by socially more acceptable forms.

391. Psychological Disorders or Abnormal Psychology Abnormality is defined in many ways. Behavior may be labelled abnormal when it is unusual, causes stress to others, and makes difficult for a person to adjust to his or her environment. One of the definitions of the word abnormal is “not average, typical, or usual.”

392. The Neurotic Personality Neurotic is a term traditionally applied to a class of behavior that has been described as deviating from conventional ways of responding. Psychoneuroses (neurouses) are conditions. Freud used to describe mental disorders arising from anxiety whose symptoms interfere with normal functioning but do not block it entirely.

393. DSM – III – These mental disorders do not represent a break from reality, and while these disorders interfere with normal functioning, do not call for hospitalization. DSM – IV – in its classification of mental disorders was developed for use in clinical, educational, and research settings.

407. Psychotic Personality Psychoses are much more serious than psychoneuroses. There is usually a marked psychological deterioration. The common symptoms are hallucination and delusions. A psychotic may, for example, taste ground glass or poison in his food.

408. Organic Psychoses Attributed to malnutrition, alcohol, drugs, syphilis, senility, disturbance of metabolism, abnormal functioning of the endocrine system causing injury or damage to the central nervous system.

416. b. Hebephrenic Schizophrenia is notable for silliness and general incongruity of actions. He acts like a child and giggles at anything. c. Catatonic Schizophrenia involves peculiar posture, waxy flexibility, and negativism.
