This paper seeks to define the effect humanistic and existential theories have on personality as well as interpersonal relationships. Humanistic and Existential Theories Affect on Personality Humanistic theories of personality believe that all humans are good. This theory also stresses the importance to achieve an individual’s full potential. The focus of the humanistic theory is on the self, which translates into "YOU", and "your" perception of "your" experiences. Abraham Maslow’s introduced the hierarchy of needs that emphasizes the importance of self-actualization.
Part 1 – 1 The meaning of ‘centrality’. The definition of centrality is ‘the quality of being in or near the centre or the middle’. This means looking at the person as an individual with strengths, preferences and aspirations and putting them at the centre of the process of identifying their needs and making choices about how and when they are supported to live their lives. Part 1 – 2 The importance of recognising the centrality of an individual The importance of recognising the centrality of the individual is key to helping boost the person´s confidence and self-esteem. Rather than just recognising the disability, centrality is about considering the individual as a whole; focusing on all aspects of the individual including their past, present and future aspirations, their capabilities and strengths and working in partnership with the individual to promote their values and support them to make informed choices.
According to Rogers, it is a tendency toward fulfillment, actualization, maintenance, and enhancement of the organism. Therefore, the inherent tendency of the organism is to actualize itself. In addition, the self consists of perceptions about oneself and one’s relationships to others as well as to the diverse aspects of life and they all have values attached to them. And gradually, the perceived self (self-concept) influences perception and behavior. When the self-concept and the actual experience of the organism itself are in opposition, the self loses contact with the actual organismic experience and gets filled with tensions.
Included within this group is Maslow’s Holistic- Dynamic Theory. This theory suggests that people become motivated by his or her needs, and that their psychological health has the potential to grow. This process is known as self-actualization. In order to achieve self-actualization a person needs to satisfy a lower need. These lower needs are the basic needs of every individual and they include self-esteem, feeling loved, satisfying ones hunger, and ensure one is safe.
Running head: Personality Theories Personality Theories PSY/211 Personality Theories The existence of personality theories correspond to how scholars analyze and assess the development of human identity and behavior. Each viewpoint provides a specific understanding of what cultivates personality and the corresponding factors that influence such behavior. One way to analyze personality is through the lens of psychoanalytic theory. The main argument of this theory is that problems or issues pertaining to psychology can be rooted to one’s unconscious (McLeod, 2007). Specifically, the problems are influenced by latent issues surfacing in the conscious mind.

Carl Rogers states ‘ The organism has one basic tendency and striving- to actualize, maintain and enhance the experiencing organism’ (Rogers, 1951, p487). But for a person to be able to grow and self- actualise they need to be in an environment that provides them with congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy. The Psychodynamic Theory works with feelings that are in the unconscious mind, the subconscious and it is about going back into the clients past and understanding the causes of their beliefs, ways they then behave, thoughts and feelings. People throughout their lives may build up shields to mask these painful feelings, but they still will affect the way the person is as they are often hard to face. These shields are demonstrated in behaviour.
Brittany McBride 10-7-2014 PSY 101 1. Differentiate between the terms self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy are very different things. Self-concept is the image we have of ourselves. Self-esteem is a person’s overall evaluation of their worth (or the feeling they have about their self-concept), while self-efficacy is a person’s belief in themselves to reach their goals.
Personal Values Personal values are priorities or belief that will help individual to make decisions in one’s life. Values differ from person to person, what is a value of priority may not be the same for the other person. Ethics are the code of conduct, or a behavior of an individual accepted by the society. Values drive the ethical behavior of a person. The William institute Ethics Awareness Inventory self-assessment has aptly said, the tests is more to know what my personal values are.
