The personality theory that I have chosen to focus on will be Identity Theory. It was developed by Erik Erikson in the nineteen hundreds. Erik Erikson believed that every individual goes through a certain number of stages to reach his or her full development or potential (Erikson, 1994). He theorized that a human being goes through eight different stages ranging from birth to death (Erikson, 1994). Identity Theory focuses on eight psychosocial stages of development, and an epigenetic principle of maturation (Schultz, 2008). The stages of development are

First of all, Gene Forrester is the narrator and one of the main characters in the novel. One of Gene’s best friends is Phineas, another main character in the novel, and an important one as well. Gene and Phineas’s relationship has its ups and downs. One of the downs being, Gene's feeling of jealousy towards Phineas. Phineas is an athletic champion and a charmer, someone everyone adores. These same qualities of Phineas make academic and studious Gene envious. The envy drives Gene to try to be a better student than Phineas, thinking that would make them equal. He thought that if he could be the smartest person in the class, then it would be equal to Phineas’s athletic stardom. What he did not know was it would change him as a person and his

The book goes into details of how the brain evolved. Pinker explains what the human mind is, describing the emotions that linked to the brain.

My AP World History teacher used to show my class John Green’s Crash Course World History videos on Youtube; ten minute lessons, taught by John Green, aimed to cover a lot of material in a short time. One day, my teacher mentioned that John Green and his brother made Crash Course videos for other subjects, too, psychology being one of them. Psychology had always intrigued me, so I spent that night watching the introductory psychology videos. It was fun, and I wanted to learn more.

In The Vital Paths, Carr introduced the science behind the idea, providing detail of how the brain works, about what it is and some scientific history lessons of it. Friedrich Nietzsche was an avid reader and writer when his health was deteriorating, he had to give up his favorite hobby. However, Nietzsche discovered a typewriter in the form of a ball and he was able to resume his writing. It didn't take long for one of Nietzsche's colleagues to notice a change in his writings. This showed the reader that the brain isn't just prone to change from a keyboard and mouse or even a smartphone, any form of technology can change the way we think.

New needs and tensions will arise in each area of life initiating one to seek new ways of adapting to these new found stressors. In return this forces them to form different kinds of intimate relationships. This maturation helps forms one’s personality (Kowalski, & Westen, 2002). “Relationships formed during each stage of life serve as a prototype for interactions in later stages. For this reason, there exists a continuum of relationships formed throughout a lifetime that shape and mold specific personality traits. Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, Jean Piaget, and Lawrence Kohlberg, describe development as a series of stages. A stage is a period in development in which people exhibit typical behavior patterns and establish particular capacities” (Kowalski, & Westen, 2002). “The various stage theories share three assumptions: First people pass through stages in a specific order, with each stage building on capacities developed in the previous stage, second stages most related to one’s age, third development is discontinuous, with qualitatively different capacities emerging in each stage” (Kowalski, & Westen, 2002).

In the movie, Bender’s personality would be described by most as disrespectful, aggressive, and freeloading. Bender is treated badly at home. He is abused physically and verbally on the regular and he has no choice but to fend for himself. Everyone attributed Benders actions to his personal disposition but did not take into consideration his situation at home. John Bender in my opinion is the perfect example of an adolescent with a very aggressive attitude.

Because clinical neuropsychology will receive special focus in the Behavioral Neuroscience course, I feel that this course would positively impact my clinical knowledge and help me meet my career goals. This class will provide me with knowledge to recognize when I might need to refer a patient to clinical neuropsychologist. Likewise, this class will enhance my knowledge of integration between biology and psychology, which can both play a role in predicting health behaviors. To be able to provide my clients with the best care, I think is important that I gain as much information as possible about other subfields in

This paper is a comparison of three different viewpoints on the subject of personality. Carl Jung, B.F. Skinner, and Carl Rogers all had very different outlooks on what defined someone’s personality. As an added feature I have included myself as a theorist because my views are also different from the previous mentioned theorists. This paper will also look briefly into the background of each theorist because their views on life began in their childhood. Amazingly you will notice the all had similar backgrounds, but came up with completely different ways of looking at life.
