source of sexual pleasure now becomes put on a person outside of the family, unresolved conflicts with parents reemerge during adolescence, however once resolved individual is capable of becoming a mature independently functioning adult fixation ------ psychoanalytic defense mechanism that occurs when the individual remains locked in an earlier developmental stage collective unconscious ------ the impersonal, deepest layer of the unconscious mind shared by all humans because of their common ancestral past archetypes ------ emotionally laden ideas and images that have rich and symbolic meaning for all people individual psychology ------ term for Adler's approach, views people as motivated by purposes and goals and as striving for perfection over pleasure compensation ------ Adler's term for the individuals attempt to overcome imagined or real inferiorities or weaknesses by developing one's own abilities humanistic perspectives ------ stress a person's capacity for personal growth, freedom to choose one's own destiny, and positive human qualities self concept ------ a central theme in the views of Carl Rogers and other humanists, in an individual's overall perceptions and assessments of his or her abilities, behavior, and personality unconditional positive regard ------ Roger's term for accepting, valuing, and being positive towards another person regardless of the person's behavior empathic ------ being a sensitive listener and understanding another's true feelings genuine ------ being open with our feelings and dropping our pretenses and facades trait ------ an enduring personality characteristic that tends to lead to certain behaviors trait theories ------ state that personality consists of broad, enduring dispositions (traits) that tend to lead to characteristic responses lexical appraoch ------ method used by Allport where he used a dictionary to find all the way to describe a person 16PF ------ a personality scale that is commonly used big five factors of personality ------ openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (emotionally stability) personological and life story perspectives ------ stress that the way to understand the person is to focus on his or her life story and life history, aspects that distinguish that individual from all others personology ------ the study of the whole person psychobiography ------ a means of inquiry in which the personality psychologist attempts to apply a personality theory to a single person's life social cognitive perspectives ------ emphasize conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals, it incorporates principles from behaviorism but explore the person's ability to reason;
