PSY 211 Project Two Template Use this template to complete your life-span theory exploration paper. Answer each question with a minimum of 3 to 5 sentences. Support your answers with credible sources when appropriate. Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Identify a theorist, summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to the biological perspective . Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual theory suggests that human behavior is influenced by unconscious thoughts, memories, and urges. “ Freud’s controversial theory of psychosexual development suggests that early childhood experiences and stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital) shape our adult personality and behavior”. “Freud believed that events in our childhood have a great influence on our adult lives, shaping our personality. For example, anxiety originating from traumatic experiences in a person’s past is hidden from consciousness and may cause problems during adulthood (neuroses).” This relates to the biological perspective because Freud believes we are all born with a psyche that has built in drives and desires. He believes we all go through the same psychosexual stages because we all have a built-in psyche. And according to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory personality has three elements or levels that are known as the id, the ego, and the superego, “Freud’s personality theory (1923) saw the psyche structured into three parts (i.e., tripartite), the id, ego, and superego, all developing at different stages in our lives. These are systems, not parts of the brain, or in any way physical, but rather hypothetical conceptualizations of important mental functions. Provide an example of how this biological perspective of life-span development applies to your lived experience. I was raised by my grandparents half of my life and throughout my 1

childhood my dad had disappeared and left he was here and there being only I saw him occasionally and went some places with him but he was not in my life throughout the rest of my childhood years I cant even count the missed birthdays, wishing he would he surprise me and show up at a school concert or to a daddy daughter dance I didn’t get letters in the mail and rarely any phone calls. My mom was a little bit more in my life then my dad but she still failed to show me the nurturing care and attention that I so badly wanted me and my little sister went to live with her after awhile when my grandparent’s needed breaks and most of the time we were fending for ourselves feeding ourselves, struggling in school, picking out our own clothes I found it hard to go to my mom about anything because she wasn’t mentally there and she had her own mental issues she was depressed, got into toxic relationships, had OCD and had angry outbursts. As I got older and I started to form friendships and relationships with people but especially relationships most of them did not work out basically all of them turned into toxic relationships especially with the last one I was so used to being done wrong and being abandoned that I did not know how to handle a good relationship therefore I messed up my last relationship with the guy who was and still is the love of my life I told myself that he was going to leave me just like everyone else and including how my father did my past trauma with my father conflicted into my relationship and I ruined it by making very bad mistakes and overall not being a good girlfriend. Even in my friendships I have very bad attachment issues and I sometimes don’t know how to let friends go when the friendship may end but because of my abandonment as a child it led to me having attachment issues. Freud believes that inner force drives behavior “According to 2
