Question
Answer
Parts of the typographical model   conscious, pre-conscious, unconscious  
🗑
Conscious   part of mind that is aware  
🗑
Pre-conscious   part of mind that can become easily aware (memories)  
🗑
Unconscious   one-way part of mind not aware and cannot become easily aware of (dark memories, urges)  
🗑
Parts of the structural model   Id, ego, superego  
🗑
Id   - Inherited, instinctive, primitive aspects of personality  
🗑
Ego   - Develops from Id and takes some of Id’s energy for own use - Reality principle- takes reality in account in addition to wants and desires - Tries to express Id’s impulses effectively  
🗑
Superego   - Develops last - Develops from incorporating parental and societal values -Morality principle- should always do what is morally right  
🗑
Defense mechanisms: denial   refusing to believe source of anxiety exists  
🗑
Defense mechanisms: repression   putting anxiety-inducing thoughts outside of conscious awareness (person is unaware ego is doing this)  
🗑
Defense mechanisms: projection   ego reduces anxiety by taking uncomfortable impulses off self and placing them on others  
🗑
Defense mechanisms: rationalism   finds rational explanation (excuse) for a behavior or outcome  
🗑
Defense mechanisms: intellectualization   think about threats in cold, analytical, and emotionally detached terms  
🗑
Defense mechanisms: reaction formation   prompts behaviors opposite of the anxiety-inducing impulse  
🗑
Defense mechanisms: sublimation   re-directs unhealthy impulse into socially acceptable or constructive activity  
🗑
Defense mechanisms: displacement   moving trouble impulse onto different, less threatening object  
🗑
Free Association definition   talking freely; saying whatever comes to mind  
🗑
Parapraxes defintion   accidents that provide insight into a person’s true (unconscious) desires  
🗑
Manifest content vs. latin content   Manifest content- what happened in the dream Latent content- unconscious desires (symbolism, meaning) hidden beneath the surface  
🗑
Freud extensions: Anna Freud   - Emphasized “normal” development of ego - Worked to fully develop defense mechanisms  
🗑
Freud extensions: Carl Jung   - Collective unconscious - Archetypes - Ego attitudes and functions  
🗑
Collective unconscious definition   shared, inborn set of memories/ ideas specific to species  
🗑
Alfred Alder   Inferiority complex- belief that one is of lower status or weaker than others Compensation- to react against perceived inferiority with assertiveness  
🗑
Freud's theories with modern empirical support   - importance of non-conscious processes - Importance of past/childhood events  
🗑
Freud's theories without modern empirical support   - typographical model - structural model - repressed emotions - dream analysis - projective tets - psychosexual stages of development  
🗑
Freud's theory with mixed modern empirical support   - defense mechanisms - psychoanalysis therapy  
🗑
CHAPTER 10   CHAPTER 10  
🗑
Define Learning   change in behavior due to experience  
🗑
Describe the assumptions of radical behaviorism   - don't study the mind, it is unknowable - we start as a "blank slate" until experiences occur - people are passive, the world acts on us  
🗑
Describe the process of classical conditioning   learning by associating one stimulus with another  
🗑
Define unconditioned stimulus and response   - a stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a reflexive response without any prior learning or conditioning - a natural, automatic, and unlearned reaction to a stimulus  
🗑
Define conditioned stimulus and response   - a learned stimulus that, through association with an unconditioned stimulus, triggers a conditioned response - an automatic response established by training to an ordinarily neutral stimulus  
🗑
Describe the process of operant conditioning   - learning through consequences (rewards and punishments)  
🗑
Define positive reinforcement and punishment   reinforcement- something is added to increase likelihood of behavior occurrence again punishment- something is added to decreases likelihood of behavior occurrence again  
🗑
Define negative reinforcement and punishment   reinforcement- something is taken away to increase likelihood of behavior occurrence again punishment- something is taken away to decreases likelihood of behavior occurrence again  
🗑
Explain how classical conditioning is different from operant conditioning   operant conditioning is learning through consequences, and classical conditioning is learning through associating one stimulus with another  
🗑
Describe the basic tenants and assumptions of Social Learning Theory   1. learning is a cognitive process 2. Learning takes place in a social context 3. Learning is active not passive  
🗑
Define observational learning   learning that occurs through observation alone  
🗑
Define reciprocal determinism   behavior, cognition, and environment all mutually influence each other  
🗑
Define schema   mental organizations of information (knowledge structures)  
🗑
Define script   a person’s knowledge about sequence of events expected in a specific setting (script for events)  
🗑
Define semantic memory   conscious long-term memory for meaning, understanding, and conceptual facts about the world  
🗑
Define episodic memory   memory for events and experiences  
🗑
Define procedural memory   knowing how to do something  
🗑
Describe the difference between explicit and implicit memory   Explicit (declarative) memory- conscious, intentional recollection of factual information, previous experiences, and concepts Implicit memory- unconscious or automatic memory  
🗑
Define self-schema   cognitive generalizations about the self, derived from past experience, that organize and guide the processing self-related information  
🗑
Define attribution   inferring the cause of an event  
🗑
Describe different attribution biases   Hostile attribution bias- tendency to interpret the behavior of other people as having hostile intentions  
🗑
CHAPTER 4   CHAPTER 4  
🗑
Explain the difference between a trait vs. a type   Typologies- a way of understanding personality by classifying into one of several possible types Traits- stable individual differences  
🗑
Explain why personality psychologists prefer to think of people scoring along continuous trait dimensions   Things that we think are opposites are sometimes actually independent (possible to be both!) a continuum allows it to not just be one or the other  
🗑
Define lexical hypothesis   the most important differences between people will be encoded in language (i.e. we will have a word for it)  
🗑
Define factor analysis   statistical tool for reducing many things into smaller groups/categories  
🗑
Explain how lexical hypothesis and factor analysis contributed to the development of the Big Five   factor analysis reduces words (lexical hypothesis) into smaller facets  
🗑
Define each of the Big Five traits   Openness, contentiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism  
🗑
Define strong situation   a situation that pressures people to behave in a certain way, leading to similar responses across people  
🗑
Define and be able to give an example of a person x situation interaction   both personality traits and situations combine (interact) to influence behavior ex. person sees an bee and decides to/not to swat it  
🗑
Discuss findings from how the Big Five applies across cultures   The most important differences between people can captured by a distinct number of dimensions that apply to everyone; however, not perfect  
🗑
Discuss why the Big Five is supported by the majority of personality researchers today   makes testable and falsifiable predictions, supported by data, parsimonious, maybe comprehensive?  
🗑
Discuss some of the critiques of the Big Five model   1. Should we have six factors instead of five? 2. Traits describe but don’t really explain behavior. 3. Is the Big Five too simplistic?  
🗑
