Psychology Principles
Influences on Behavior

Needs – Basic needs; Maslow’s Hierarchy

Interests – where attention is directed, activities pursued,
decisions made, occupations chosen

Heredity
Heredity – genetic traits

-
Genotype – unique set of inherited traits
Phenotype – result of all genes determining physical
appearance
Expressed – individual will manifest trait
Unexpressed – predisposed to trait, manifested under certain
conditions
Dominant trait – expressed
Recessive trait – manifested if both parents have gene
Genetics – study of heredity

-
Genetic disorder – results from genetic makeup of individual
i.e. Down’s syndrome
Genetic testing – Human Genome Project; mapping of all DNA.
A person can be tested for genetic traits for disease

Behaviorism

Pavlov – Classical Conditioning



Conditioned and unconditioned stimulus and
response
Salivating Dog – famous experiment
Skinner – Operant Conditioning




Feelings affect behavior
Operant produces change
Stimulus and response
Positive and negative reinforcement
Sigmund Freud

Psychoanalysis: importance of the unconscious mind in
understanding conscious thought and behavior

The psyche can be divided into three parts: Ego, super-ego,
and id.

The id: child-like portion of the psyche; very impulsive and
only takes into account what it wants and disregards all
consequences.

The super-ego: moral code of the psyche; follows right and
wrong and takes into account no special circumstances in
which the morally right thing may not be right for that
situation.

The ego: balance between the two; part of the psyche
portrayed in the person's action, and after the super-ego and
id are balanced, the ego acts in a way that takes both
impulses and morality into consideration.

Erik Erikson
Psychoanalyst: life-stage virtues/development, in the order of the stages in which they may
be acquired, are:

hope - Basic Trust vs. Mistrust - Infant stage. Does the child believe its caregivers to be reliable?

will - Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt - Toddler stage. Child needs to learn to explore the world.
Bad if the parent is too smothering or completely neglectful.

purpose - Initiative vs. Guilt - Kindergarten - Can the child plan or do things on his own, such as
dress him or herself. If "guilty" about making his or her own choices, the child will not function well.
Erikson has a positive outlook on this stage, saying that most guilt is quickly compensated by a
sense of accomplishment.

competence - Industry vs. Inferiority - Around age 6 to puberty. Child comparing self worth to
others (such as in a classroom environment). Child can recognise major disparities in personal
abilities relative to other children. Erikson places some emphasis on the teacher, who should ensure
that children do not feel inferior.

fidelity - Identity vs. Role Confusion - Teenager. Questioning of self. Who am I, how do I fit in?
Where am I going in life? Erikson believes that if the parents allow the child to explore, they will
conclude their own identity. However, if the parents continually push him/her to conform to their
views, the teen will face identity confusion.

love (in intimate relationships, work and family) - Intimacy vs. Isolation - Young adult. Who do I
want to be with or date, what am I going to do with my life? Will I settle down? This stage has
begun to last longer as young adults choose to stay in school and not settle.

caring - Generativity vs. Stagnation - the Mid-life crisis. Measure accomplishments/failures. Am I
satisfied or not? The need to assist the younger generation. Stagnation is the feeling of not having
done anything to help the next generation.

wisdom - Ego Integrity vs. Despair - old age. Some handle death well. Some can be bitter,
unhappy, dissatisfied with what they accomplished or failed to accomplish within their life time.
They reflect on the past, and either conclude at satisfaction or despair.
Erikson…
Myers-Briggs

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is
a psychometric questionnaire designed to identify certain
psychological differences according to the typological
theories of Carl Gustav Jung

The original developers of the personality inventory were
Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs
Myers. They initially created the indicator during World War
II, believing that a knowledge of personality preferences
would help women who were entering the industrial
workforce for the first time identify the sort of war-time
jobs where they would be "most comfortable and effective".
