Focus Questions: Personality pp.409-430
Notes: I believe the best way to answer these questions is to use the Cornell note-taking structure. This provides you with a great studying tool.
I've also restructured this assignment by including before and after reading questions (the during reading questions are the focus questions). This will help you recall previously learned information and "test" yourself on new concept recall. Do not use the book or any resources for the before and after reading questions until you have first tried answering them without any help.
Before Reading
1. Who is Sigmund Freud? What do you recall about his theories on dreaming?
2. Describe Maslow's hierarchy of needs. What is the eventual goal? What does a person need to do to achieve the end goal?
3. What approach to psychology do we associate with Freud? Maslow?
4. Who is Albert Bandura? What do we know about his work in the area of learning?
During Reading
1. Describe Freud's model of the mind by using his iceberg analogy. How do the id, superego, and ego work within this model?
2. Explain Freud's psychosexual stages.
3. What is the relationship between defense mechanisms, the id, and repression?
4. What is the intention of the Rorschach inkblot technique?
5. How is Jung's approach to personality different than Freud's approach?
6. Describe the collective unconscious.
7. What is the difference between introversion and extroversion? How does consciousness relate to these personalities?
8. What are Horney's (HORN-eye) neurotic needs? How do these needs relate to personality?
9. Describe Maslow's theory on personality.
10. How does Rogers's approach to personality differ from Maslow's approach?
11. Describe Bandura's approach to personality.
12. What is Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale?
After Reading
1. Take the "Check Your Understanding" quiz after you read. Do not refer to your notes. Grade your answers using the key (printed upside down in the text box).
2. Describe Freud's approach to personality.
3. Draw Freud's iceberg model and explain what it means.
4. What is the difference among psychoanalytic/psychodynamic, humanistic, and social-cognitive theories of personality?
