The NHS define self-esteem as being the opinion each individual has of themselves. NHS, (2015). It is the self-image and self –respect of an individual’s perception of themselves. Roshahl.c, (2008). This assignment is going to discuss the six factors that affect self-esteem. These factors are the growth promoting climate, the looking glass self, self-actualisation, ego identity, social identity and finally, the constructing of self-concept. Maslow stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs. When one need is fulfilled a person seeks to fulfil the

Burger (2008), says that there are many theories of personality and psychologists try to explain it with their own approaches. Discussed here will be the psychoanalytic approach, the trait approach, the biological approach the humanistic approach, the behavioural/social learning approach and the cognitive approach. They were devised to search for specific patterns in behaviour and ways of thinking about these

This paper will examine Robert C. Solomon's Emotions and Choices article, to best identify what anger is, and to what extent a rational human being is responsible for their anger. Firstly, Solomon's argument must be described. A quick summation of Solomon's argument can be found in the following four points: Emotions are judgements, emotions are chosen, emotions serve a purpose, and emotions are rational.1 To quote Solomon, he explains that “Emotions are not occurrences, and do not happen to us. They ... may be chosen like an action.”2

Aggressions can be broadly divided in to two types: Reactive/ Impulsive aggression (RA) refers to aggression that is impulsive, emotionally charged, affective and uncontrolled. It has its theoretical roots in the frustration-tolerance theory. It is most often observed in response to a perceived threatening stimulus and is frequently accompanied by negative affect, facial expressions described as hostile, temper tantrums,

In this task I will compare two theories of self-esteem which contribute to our understanding of self-concept. The theories which I will be focused on are Bowlby’s and Harter’s.

Everybody has his or her own type of personality. We all act in a certain way that makes us who we are. It is believed that our parents, peers and, the environment we grow up in, shape us. Personality is describes as a combination of emotions, attitude, and behavioral patterns of an individual. There is a reason that we are the way we are and there are many theories that go along with that. Different theorist present their own definitions of the word personality based on their own theoretical positions. Which brings us to discussing Carl Jung’s theory of analytical psychology and Harry

Quality outrage is characterized as the demeanor to see an extensive variety of circumstances as irritating or baffling, and the inclination to react to such circumstances with more regular heights in state outrage. Spielberger, Jacobs, Russel, & Crane (1983) depict characteristic resentment is an individual emotional demeanor to encounter endless sentiments of indignation regarding time and crosswise over circumstance. People with high characteristic outrage are inclined to experience outrage all the more strongly crosswise over circumstances. Spector (2003) and Spielberger (1999) found that that circumstance is a direct result of an indignation demeanor and more consequence of negative examinations crosswise over circumstance.

Anthropologist John Dollard and his psychologist colleagues Doob, Miller, Mowrer and Sears believed the Frustration and Aggression hypothesis and according to Dollard et al. ‘aggression is always a consequence of frustration and, contrariwise…… the existence of frustration always leads to some form or aggression’. He believed there was a link between frustration and anger. Frustration or some kind of frustrating situation or event always leads to anger and anger is always

QP engaged Maunica in participating in a CBT activity geared towards the aggression cycle. QP explained to Maunica that the activity examine the aggressive cycle and progressive muscle relaxation technique that can help to reduce anger level. QP explained to Maunica the three phases of the aggression cycle, which consist of escalation, explosion, and post explosion. QP asked Maunica to list some things that can cause her anger to escalate. QP asked Maunica, what level has her anger reached. QP reviewed with Maunica thing that triggers her anger. QP brainstormed with Maunica some of her anger cues. QP reviewed with Maunica negative consequences that are associated with anger explosion. QP assisted Maunica in identifying the cues that occurs

Based on the theories of self-identity, aggression plays a major role where individuals seek to establish their identity. In order for individuals to identify themselves they sometimes require a form of opposition that can be manifested through aggression. In general, most of our activities as human beings are a mixture of negative and positive forms of aggression

The first approach to self-schema development we will evaluate is Self-Discrepancy Theory (SDT) (Higgins, 1987). In this theory self-schemas develop to drive the actual self (who somebody is now) towards the ideal self (who somebody wants to be) and the ought self (who somebody should be according to others). Reflected appraisals build a network of the actual self, and this knowledge is used to move towards the ideal and ought selves. Discrepancies between actual and ideal result in dejection, and discrepancies between actual and ought result in agitation (Higgins, Bond, Klein, &

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.
