Hollanders research in to personality :

Dynamic aspect > the way the person faces new situation and how they behave. E.g social adjustments ,consistent aspect is the way the person is in their characteristic style.
Horney (1945) view on personality is that Personality develops from the level of anxiety felt at being a dependent child.such as whilst a child goes towards others the affection/affiliation gain them complaint. Also they pick up things like prefer brands
Also when they go against others the Power/ domination they get Aggressive.when they Turn away from others they feel isolation/ indifference they get detached from the family world and the environment around them.
According to McCrae & Costa (1999) view on personality they developed the Big Five scale of personality type which consist of :
- Openness to experience
- Conscientiousness
- Extroversion
- Agreeableness
- Neuroticism
There are many ways people interpret your personality and many ways people can find out what type of person you are using various forms of questionnaires and tactics.
I did a test online to see what type of personality i have. I had to answer 4 questions as to which type I’m more likely to be like. My results :
“Self-concept: the beliefs a person holds about his or her own attributes, how he or she evaluates those qualities” Solomon, 1999
Self concept is the way a individual views themselves in the way that others are viewing them along with the way the individuals perception of the world around them. This is things such as influences from ,peers, friends , family and others around them.
A person self concept of themselves may be different to the way others actually view them. Such as a person may perceive themselves as a failure however people may be regarded as very successful by others.
self-concept does not necessarily reflect reality - a person who is regarded by others as very successful may perceive themselves to be a failure
Self Image, Ideal Self and Self Esteem
Self image – is the kind of person we think we are . this is usually comprises social roles, body image & personality traits (very descriptive)Ideal Self - is the kind of person we would like to be to others which may be slightly or totally different from our self image. The larger the gap between the ideal self and self image the lower a person self esteem
Self esteem - is the extent to which we like ourselves this is linked to whether we accept or approve of our self image
There are many a range of people that have researched in to their own definition of self concept.
William James (1890) --- argued that self-concept derives from social comparisons
with others peers, family, reference groups
Goffman (1959) --- saw self-concept as reflecting social role experiences (e.g. daughter, wife, mother, employee, manager) which add facets to our view of ourselves
Cooley (1902)--- Saw feedback from others as crucial in the development of the “looking glass” self
Mead (1934) --- argues that self-concept is formed directly from social experience - not just the reaction from others but also social & cultural values which we internalise
