MARTINS SCHEMATIC VIEW
MARTINS SCHEMATIC VIEW
The sum
total of an individual’s characteristics which make him unique”. Personality is the more or less stable and
enduring organisation of a person’s character, temperament, intellect and
physique which determines the unique adjustment to the environment”.
TRAIT THEORY
Neurotic: A person who is neurotic is easily stressed out, and gets very excited at the smallest things. Furthermore a person who is also afflicted with a neurosis are meant to be emotionally unstable or unusually anxious. Neurotic is a class of functional mental disorders involving distress but neither delusions nor hallucinations. Neurotic behaviour is typically within socially acceptable limits
Stable: A person who is stable is a person who is very calm and knows that he doesn't get stressed very easily, Economic stability refers to an economy that experiences constant growth and low inflation. In model theory, a complete theory is called stable if it does not have too many types. One goal of classification theory is to divide all complete theories into those whose models can be classified and those whose models are too complicated to classify, and to classify all models in the cases where this can be done
Extrovert: A person with extrovert is someone who is very loud and confident like they act the same way they are with everyone, they are also socially active so they can have a conversation, also their arousal level is very high, but they have a low level of concentration.
Introvert: A introvert person is someone who has a low level of confidence and who gets easily stressed, but they also have a high level of concentration with low levels of arousal. The introvert is more comfortable with the inner world of thoughts and feelings, so they will see the world in terms of how it affects them.
SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY
Social learning theory tells us that learning is a cognitive process that takes place in a social context and can occur purely through observation or direct instruction, even in the absence of motor reproduction or direct reinforcement. In addition to the observation of behaviour, learning also occurs through the observation of rewards and punishments, a process known as vicarious reinforcement. The theory expands on traditional behavioural theories, in which behaviour is governed solely by reinforcements, by placing emphasis on the important roles of various internal processes in the learning individual.
INTERACTIONAL VIEW
Interaction view is an approach to questions about social cognition, or how one person understands other people, that focuses on body behaviour and environmental contexts rather than on mental processes. Interactional theory argues against two other contemporary approaches to social cognition or what is sometimes called ‘theory of mind'.
