2. Environment- experiences
3. Maturation -cognitive, psychological, social dimensions

development is most pronounced during his childhood
and adolescence stages.

OTHER LIVING ORGANISMS
birth, growth, development,
regeneration, and death
x human beings -more complex
capabilities
self-awareness
analytical thinking
 self-evaluation
Motivation
decision-making

Mere survival instincts
Per Dev Week 1.pptxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 process in which persons reflect upon themselves,
understand who they are, accept what they
discover about themselves, and learn (or unlearn)
new sets of values, attitudes, behaviour, and
thinking skills to reach their fullest potential as
human beings.
 PSYCHOLOGY - study of human thinking & behaviour
- foundation for personal development
THE 2 PROPONENTS OF HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY:
 Abraham Maslow- 5 stages of human development
based on a hierarchy of needs, peaking in what he
termed as “self-actualization,”
 Carl Rogers- “the individual has within himself the
capacity and the tendency, latent if not evident, to
move forward toward maturity
Per Dev Week 1.pptxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Per Dev Week 1.pptxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
MASLOW’S HIERARCHY
• progress is often disrupted by failure to meet
lower level needs
• Life experiences= fluctuate between levels of
the hierarchy.
• not everyone will move through the hierarchy
in a uni-directional manner.
• In Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, where do
you find yourself? What do you have to do
to fulfill your needs so that you can move
closer towards self-actualization?
Per Dev Week 1.pptxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Per Dev Week 1.pptxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Per Dev Week 1.pptxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Carl Rogers’ Personality Theory
feelings of self-worth = self-actualization
• high self-worth =confidence and positive feelings about him
or herself, faces challenges, accepts failure and unhappiness
at times; open with people.
• low self-worth =avoid challenges, not accept that life can be
painful and unhappy at times ; defensive
Positive regard= feel valued, respected, treated with affection &
loved
• Unconditional positive regard
• Conditional positive
 constantly seeks approval.
• How is personal development linked to
psychology?
• How can positive Psychology help you
become happier?

environmental exposure, experiences, cultural
backgrounds
 common personality traits that cross many cultures
 Ex. Agreeableness and openness to experience
 personality traits -more prominent in one culture
 Ex. Asians exhibit strong “interpersonal
relatedness” (migrating -consider how this will
affect his family )
 Westerners look at their behaviour and its impact
on their personal goals. (working overseas - career
growth)
 TRAIT THEORY- approach in identifying types of
personalities based on certain traits or attributes
 PERSONALITY TRAIT – disposition to behave
consistently in a particular way
 PERSONALITY - broader term that comprises of traits,
motives, thoughts, self-concept, and feelings.

Editor's Notes

  • #3: Activity 1: “Guess Who?” Let the students write 2 things about themselves on a piece of paper. (habit, characteristic, unique experience) After writing, they will be allowed to go around the classroom to show their paper. Teacher will collect all their papers. The students will be asked to group themselves: 5 members per group. Each group will be given a marker and pieces of paper where they can write their answers. The teacher will be reading the content of 1 paper to the students. Each group will now try to determine who the teacher is describing. They write their answer on the piece of paper within 5 seconds. All groups must raise their paper so that the teacher can check which groups got the right answer. The group with the most number of correct answers win.
  • #4: Linking statement: Describing oneself helps develop self-awareness. Knowing and understanding your personality, your likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, your tolerances and limitations will help you develop your self-concept. Today we will be discussing about knowing oneself.
  • #14: Although similar to many other living organisms that go through the process of birth, growth, development, regeneration, and death human beings are different as we possess more complex capabilities such as self-awareness, analytical thinking, self-evaluation, motivation, decision-making, and reflective thought. These capabilities, beyond mere survival instincts, are what distinguish the human species from the rest of the physical world.
