Characteristics And Differences Of People Behaviors

Over the last 100 years, the underpinning concepts in the fields of psychology and counseling were wrought. Within this period, these concepts have transformed and evolved from somewhat crude conceptions of the psyche toward more holistic interventions and approaches. As the profession continues to move forward, adaptations of the original theorists regarding the nature of man and the development of personality continue to emerge. These adaptations, along with the integration of new concepts and ideas, continue to contribute to the field. The author describes his view of man and human nature, personality development, and explores potential implications for counseling.

The strengths are that it is supported by high amounts of empirical studies; shows the role of social categorization in intergroup behaviours; the difference between personal identity and social identity; explores how the basic need to fit in affects social interaction; contributes to explanation of other areas of social psychology; and the original SIT has been expanded on and continues to generate further research. The weaknesses though, are that the applications of SIT are restricted by the methodological limitation, unrepresentative samples and reductionist principles obtained in its supporting studies; self-esteem hypothesis is no longer central to SIT; and the aim of SIT to favour situational factors rather than the dispositional factors is not supported by

Another factor in interpersonal attraction is Reciprocity, this is the tendency to be attracted to people who like us and tend to be less attracted to those individuals that dislike us. In a study carried out by Dittes & Kelley (1956) the findings show that participants conformed more when told ‘other group members like you’ in comparison when told ‘other group members dislike you’. People who have the tendency to have low self-esteem or are highly insecure concerning interpersonal relationships have a greater need for positive feedback from others around them, in order to form close interpersonal relationships.

This self-esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965) includes 10 statements that are used to measure out self-satisfaction and self-esteem. Each item is scored on a Likert scale that ranges from 1 (strongly agree) to 4 (strongly disagree). The 10 statements are divided in half with the first five being positive self-esteem statements and the other five being negative self-esteem statements. The scores were totaled and ranged from 10-40 points. The higher the score was this indicated a high self-esteem and vice versa with a low score resulting in low self-esteem.

The purpose of this essay is to outline and evaluate at least three psychological perspectives of human behaviour. The three approaches that will be summarised are humanistic, social learning theory and the Biological approach. They will also be criticised and compared to one another. A brief description on psychology will occur, and there will also be a short summarisation on some key early influences of psychology, from its origins in philosophy.

     The methods employed by the researchers were fairly simple. They built a description of a fictional person in terms of the previously stated personal characteristics and drinking statuses. All of the stimuli were male. There were three factors used in the study. Factor I has to do with the characteristic of respect. After the stimuli had been given, the experimenters would ask about things such as if the respondent of would ask the person for an opinion or if they would admire that person’s character. In factor II, friendship acceptance was measured through questions such as would they eat with the person or would they be partners with them in an athletic game. The third and final factor referred to social distance and inquired about things like working with the stimulus or accepting the person as close kin by marriage. All of these factors were used in determining how the subjects perceived the stimuli and if there was an aspect of labeling in their responses

I also agree that management has to be able to change and grow and continue to listen to any upward communication from the staff. In order to accomplish better communication, management should provide an ‘open-door’ policy and also informal meetings where employees can either feel free to go to their supervisors first with any questions or concerns and also raise issues with resources or basically anything that interferes with their job performance (Newstrom, 2014, p. 70).

The participants were two hundred and nineteen undergraduate students, from eighteen to forty-five years old, who all received course credit for their participation. The participants were predominately female (79%) and the ethnicities included Caucasians (49%), Asians (36%), and others (15%). The participants were divided into small groups to complete personality questionnaires. The Gudjonsson Compliance Scale (GCS) measures the tendency to conform to request in order to appease. Its score ranges from zero to twenty, twenty meaning the more likely to be compliant. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale measures feelings of self-worth. The scale ranges from zero to thirty, thirty signifying the

Behavioral economists understand that human are impacted by heuristics. Heuristics is important for understanding our humanness; they shape our biases. The Bible teaches that God is the only perfect being. Christians try to attain spiritual perfection, but know that is not possible. Economic behaviorists understand that humans will never be perfect. Humans are impulsive, emotional, and commit sin. The Lord and Savior is without sin. Christians, like economic behaviorists, recognize their humanness and sinfulness, and are better able to make adjustments, thereby controlling their behavior and facilitating long-term positive health care changes.

In my questionnaire, Self-Assessment: The Self-Report of Behavior about homosexuality people I scored 21, for me I don’t care who you are and what you do in your life, it easy to deal with me (respect me I will respect you back) . I am person don’t like to put my noise in other people life.

In the textbook, the author defines the meaning of personality, meaning “psychological qualities that contribute to an individual’s enduring and distinctive patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving.”(Cervone & Pervin, 2013) Then the texts break down from the definition the words enduring, distinctive, “contribute to” and the phrase “feeling, thinking, behaving”. Enduring refers to the personality characteristics that are consistent across time and across different situations of a person’s life. The word “distinctive” in the definition refers to how personality psychology addresses features that differentiate people from one another. The phrase “contribute to” refers to how psychologists search for the factors that influence and explain an

The analysis in this article and study focuses on the structural relationships between the occupational and educational dimensions of the stratification system, status expectation processes, and the norms of equity within marriage. This study took place in 1981. This analysis uses data from a survey of Kentucky women collected by Louis Harris and Associates for the Kentucky Commission on Women. Data was collected by telephone interviews in households selected by random digit dialing by geographic location. According to Louis Harris and Associates, 89 percent of the households in Kentucky had telephone service. Harris reported that 18 percent of the interviews were completed in a subsequent contact. 1,533 couples were analyzed for this survey. The working hypothesis of this analysis is that structural conditions and the

While the study of human genes is increasingly improving our understanding of human development, it is not solely our genetic makeup that determines how we will develop. Humans as a species share many universal traits, which make it easy to disregard the large influence the environment plays in development. Throughout the lifespan, the environment presents itself in many different positions that help determine and shape human development. By looking at the influence of the environment and genetics on human development we are able to create a more holistic view of this process and gain a better understanding of the complexities involved within it. Through this comprehensive lens, it is easy to see how probabilistic human development offers the greatest amount of explanation, unlike the predetermined views of genetic influence in the past, and that environmental influence has an extensive impact on human behavior.

Everyone has a different personality that determines their patterns of behavior, thoughts, and feelings. Myers Briggs have determined that there are sixteen different personalities among people. Upon completing the short questionnaire, I have been assigned the logistician, or ISTJ, personality type. In the past, I have completed other personality tests when I was trying to decide on a major that most fit me. These other quizzes also resulted in this personality classification.
