Chapter 10: Personality

Humanistic approach: positive view of personality
     Based on personal responsibility, free will, and personal growth toward self-actualization
     Roger's self theory: strive to become fully functional individual by comparing perceived and ideal self
          If too much discrepancy between the two or if obstacles present this creates anxiety
               Can adopt defense mechanisms that may lead to more serious disorders in the long run

Learning approach:
     Skinner's behavioral theory: personality is reflected by patterns of learned behaviors
     Bandura's social cognitive theory: personality reflected by patterns of behaviors dependent on perception of the environment and thoughts about it.
          Similar to expectancy theory of motivation
          Self-efficacy: expecting to do well leads you to behave in ways that make you do well
