Examination of the Fictitious Character Bart Simpson Using Various Personality Theoretical

Hans Eysenck, a psychologist well known in the field of personality based his trait theory on biological explanations; whereby he believed genetic and biological factors were significant elements of personality (Eysenck 1990). Eysenck also held the view that an individual’s personality traits, or what he referred to as ‘temperament’ was an exact result of one’s genetic make-up (Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2005). Eysenck encompassed the idea that there was a need to highlight the significant dimensions of personality, create a way in which they could be measured and then link them with experimental procedures. Subsequently, Eysenck developed a model of personality based on a theoretical and statistical approach to the classification of traits. This is

Finally, Zuckerman (1969) suggests that the environmental stimulation sought by individuals is not necessarily related to extroversion. It may simply be as a result of boredom, which arises from increased rather than decreased

The article “Introversion: The Often Forgotten Factor Impacting the Gifted” by Jill D. Burruss and Lisa Kaenzig begins by giving examples of how an introvert may behave. The authors continue by explaining that introversion is in not an issue, but a personality type which differs from that of the “normal,” more outgoing and friendly personality type, extroversion. Introverts and extroverts are different personality types, most people fall into one of the two categories. Typically, an introvert’s main focus is in the internal world of thoughts, while an extrovert's main focus is on the external world of people and events. Introverts tend to enjoy alone time, working on their own, and are usually quiet, and extroverts are typically social, enjoy

Blood flow to different parts of the brain has a similar effect. Introverted and extroverted persons have more blood allocated to certain parts of their brains.

Arousal normally refers to the physiological excitation of the ascending reticular activating system, leading to a state of alertness and readiness to respond; as a result, increases in heart rate and blood pressure, galvanic skin response, and desynchronized electroencephalogram (EEG) activity occur.

Psychodynamics perspective: Psychodynamic theory was developed by Sigmund Freud and has become a significant theory in studying crime behavior in adolescents and children (Siegel, 2005). The theory centers around a three-part structure made up of the id, the ego, and the super ego. The id is considered the primitive part of the personality and is purely focused on instant gratification and is based on the pleasure principal. The superego is in charge of judging the situation through morality. The ego regulates unconscious wishes thus playing a central part in synthesizing mental functioning and mediating between id and the superego (Schmamess, 2008). Fernando’s aggressive behavior suggests that he has an id-dominated personality, a self punitive superego and a damaged ego functioning. He loses control of the ego and the id’s need for instant gratification takes over which causes impulse control problems and increased pleasure-seeking.

This essay will outline and compare both biological and behavioural perspectives on human behaviour. The history, major discoveries and theories will be discussed along with some of the most influential theorists in each of these two areas of psychology. This essay will also compare the two areas strengths and weaknesses in the field of psychology.

Patrick star is actually went to a community college but doesn’t remember what he study so many of people in bikini bottom thinks he’s dumb. Homer Simpson and his family have been banned from every states except North Dakota and Arizona. Stewie Griffin had a normal size head until he was on a bed and bounced off the bed and hit the ceiling making his head into a football head. Patrick star and Homer Simpson share the same character traits of being lazy and have short attention span. As a matter a face they both zone out when they are being talk to or when they're explaining something to them. Stewie is the youngest child of the family which he mostly wants attention.The three fictional characters that most represent my personality are

Knowing what you are seeing or hearing is sometimes an end in itself (such as when watching TV), but not often. Usually, we want to know what’s going on around us so that we can specify goals and figure out how to achieve them.Knowing what you are seeing or hearing is sometimes an end in itself (such as when watching TV), but not often.

Jung's approach to personality, extroversion is the tendency toward active actions as a dynamic response to the events and information from the external world. Extroverted people draw the energy for their undertakings from the outside world. The outside world is the main driver

Psychology is not just philosophical speculation and reasoning over the years it has evolved and it is now also recognised as a science, to understand what psychology is all about it is necessary to know it’s origins and the theorist who brought it out of obscurity, Sigmund Freud. He developed the Psychodynamic or Psychoanalytical perspective to enable better understanding of human behaviour these concepts will be discussed further later in this study. After Freud opened the gateway other perspectives and approaches have been developed, now with five main areas of psychology - Cognitive, Behaviourist, Biopsychology and Humanist approaches. For a comparison with the Psychodynamic theory, Behaviourist Theory will be discussed.

What is your favorite Family Guy character? One of the comedic geniuses of this animated show is the way that they provide characterization for each of the main members of the Griffin family. Lois, Peter, Brian, Stewie, Meg and Chris all have unique personalities and the show capitalizes on that for their comedy.

Before I started to research for my project, I had a little background knowledge on my topic. I knew a little about the brain and emotions, since last year in science we learnt a bit about it, but we didn’t go into any real depth. Prior to the research I knew that the amygdala, hypothalamus and pituitary gland help in producing emotions, and what an introvert and what an extravert is, but not in any real detail; I didn’t know what causes people to become an introvert or an extravert, or all of the different parts of the brain that help to create emotions and interact with others. What I needed to know was the neurological and psychological differences between introverts and extraverts, all the parts of our brain that helps us to interact

There is fiction of all forms, from movies, books, television shows, anything you can think of. With these things come fictional characters in which sometimes we can get attached to and feel that we can easily relate to them in some many levels.As a kid growing up my favorite fictional things were the television shows and movies. Some shows for example where Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron, etc., and as for movies I really enjoyed watching Spider-Man movies, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, etc. It was easy to find a character in which I could personally relate too. The three fictional characters that most represent my personality are Bart Simpson from “The Simpsons” for getting himself into trouble but also mainly because he is a fast learner, Goofy for his funny charismatic personality, and Naruto for his determination of never giving up and proving to people what he is capable of doing.

Family Guy has a strong resemblance to The Simpsons in the way the structure of the family works along with their dysfunctionalities of the characters. Although they are close in character design Peter Griffin is far more narcissistic than Homer Simpson even in the way he places his faults and his wrong doings on Meg. As oppose to Homer who is more childlike in his actions yet is caring towards his family.
