The psychodynamic theory argues that the personality contains three major components. The components are id, ego, and superego. ID is the unrestrained, pleasure-seeking component that a person is born with. Ego develops by living in the world and superego develops by interactions with others. When all three components are well balanced the individual lives a normal life. Now, when they are unbalanced and one

College is an important place that can lead us to a bright and successful future. College success is more than academics; for us it’s learning how to become an adult for the first time in our life. In college we will develop skills to have relationships with professors, counselors, and with our peers. The whole college experience enables us to truly succeed. Meeting new people, becoming acquainted to different ideas and cultures, and mostly, the enjoyment of the four plus years of being in school. A couple of years from now we will look back at college as either one of the best or worst times of our lives. The one thing that motivates people to go to college is “career

The id, the ego, and the superego are parts of the mind that work together to create behavior and personality. There is always an ongoing conflict between the id and the superego that the ego has to negotiate. The id is the “child” part of one’s personality. This is the little voice that says “I want it now.” When people do things on impulse or think only about receiving satisfaction, the id is in control. The egos function in the mind is reasoning and can be considered the “adult” part of the brain. The superego is the “moral” part of the mind that strives for perfection and enforces parental and societal rules. All three parts of personality, id, ego and superego, need to be well-balanced to have good mental health.

The Psychodynamic Approach was first approach by Sigmund Freud; he dealt with the understanding that personality came from our unconscious state of mind. And that unconscious state interacted to determine our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings (Bernstein, 425). Freud also created the psychoanalytical theory stating that personality led the way to handling psychological disorders. He divided personality into three main topics; which are the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is the basis of each human being’s instincts we are all born with. It is the immediate wants I crave; it may show more selfish side. The ego is the part that subdues the id and calms it down. It allows me to think and realize certain actions may upset someone else around me. The superego is

In the article, Determinants of Happiness in Undergraduate University Students, it says, “Researchers such as Cummins et al. (2009) go as far as to suggest that individuals are happier when whole society’s functions better” (Flynn and MacLeod 452). This shows that without happiness, people could not work well together. It is why so many people work together, and keeping the economy well. In the article Determinants of Happiness in Undergraduate University Students, it says, “It is well known in the positive psychology literature that increased happiness is related to multiple benefits including better mental and physical health, (see Lyubomirsky et al. 2005)” (Flynn and MacLeod 452). This is why people that are happier have a better life in their jobs and schools. It also shows that people have better eating habits if they are happy. In the article Determinants of Happiness in Undergraduate University Students, it says that, “The individual benefits can pale in comparison to the potential societal gains of having a population comprised of such happy and therefore “successful” individuals” (Flynn and MacLeod 453). This is why people who like their job are better at their job. People that are fortunate are ones who usually like their job. People are happier if what they are doing is what they like, and it helps them to be happier than they

Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react

Happiness on the job is closely related to contentment of values. In fact, happiness could just be

As a business major and future entrepreneur, there are many things that I can do to maximize happiness. For example, I can start an agency that acts as a half-way house for the homeless. With this agency, I can help homeless people regain composure and find work. I can do this by helping them establish their portfolio and offering basic classes on work ethic and social skills. Moreover I can reach out to companies that are willing to offer employment opportunities to those who need it most.

Emotional intelligence was described formally by (Salovey & Mayer). They defined it as ‘the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions’. They also provided an initial empirical demonstration of how an aspect of emotional

Why is it that some individuals are so high above the curve in terms happiness and optimism, even in the face of challenges and misfortunes? Whatever it is, there are individuals in psychology who wish to study and understand the science of happiness. These individuals specialize in the new field of psychology, positive psychology. Such researchers wish to gain insight on gaining happiness and building a resiliency to negative emotions. With an increasing emphasis on measuring college success, primarily through academic outcomes, it becomes understandable that school professionals might stay active in monitoring student’s well-being and happiness. However, how and why student’s well-being and happiness plays a role during their time on campus and what college faculty members are doing, or not doing, remains an interesting area for review. The intend of this research is to produce a better understanding of how college student’s level of wellbeing and happiness is monitored or could be monitored by faculty besides how emotions and a student’s happiness level affect individual students’ time on campus.

This book pointed out that “doing what you enjoy propels you to success”. It means doing what you enjoy is the core to find your dream job. If one has a job that pays well but he never get happiness from it, and instead of fears, tears and no cheers.

This book tells people how to make their dreams come true. People who follow their dreams are the meaning of living in the world and the way to get happiness. And everyone has this ability to achieve this goal; what they need to do is only to possess extraordinary drive. From the book, the author says repeatedly that when people get graduated, no one cares about your GPA.

Emotional Intelligence is defined as a ‘type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s emotions, to discriminate among them and to use the information to guide one’s thinking and actions’ (Salovey and Mayer, 1990: 189). According to Goleman (2001), ‘emotional intelligence comprises of 4 key components which are, Self

To begin, the basics of emotional intelligence are crucial to understanding the foundation from which humans refer to on a daily basis for interacting in society. Emotional intelligence suggests that humans hold the capability to identify, interpret, understand, manage, and response to emotions in ways to enforce positive relationships, establish good communication, empathize, and address conflict within social networks. Humans begin learning this upon entering life, as emotional intelligence determines the ways that humans behave and intermingle with the environment. The degree of intelligence varies among people: those with a high emotional intelligence are able to recognize their own emotions and other emotions in addition to a sort of magnetic draw that pulls others toward them. This is because people with high emotional intelligence know how to better relate to, understand, and help others. Consider a group

Emotions No matter how hard you try, you cannot control your emotions, only attempt to hide them. Emotions influence every aspect of our lives, what we do, what we say, and et cetera. All of our emotions, from anger to insecurity, are influenced by several factors, just as our lives are influenced by our emotions (Gelinas, Emotions 35). First of all, it causes problems when one does not trust himself, and it shows up in many ways.

Academic success could never be fully measured by degrees alone, but it can include a person’s well-being as well as their mind and certain characteristics about a person that make them unique. This success can be achieved in different ways by these different people with different strengths, but there is the same ultimate goal in sight of each and every student enrolled in college at some point. However, this goal of being successful in not only school but in life, can sometimes turn out to be the opposite of how we plan. Of course, a student can achieve success by earning degrees and still fail in life. Academic success can also be a huge constituent to a students vocational calling in college as young students make a transition into adulthood.
