1. I agree with Carl Jung’s Psychoanalytic Theory of Anima, Animus, and Shadow. Anima refers to his belief that all males have a certain feminine characteristics within them; while Animus suggests that all females have a certain masculine characteristics within them. Carl Jung’s Shadow theory refers to all those negative experiences that give shape to our negative characteristics, which is considered as one’s “dark side,” those aspects of oneself that exist, but which one does not acknowledge or with which one does not identify.
ReplyDelete2. As a male adult, the archetypal masculine characteristics of aggressiveness, firmness, insensitivity, and assertiveness are dominant in my personality. However, the feminine characteristics of compassion, sympathy, and sensitivity sometimes surfaces whenever the situation at hand calls for.
3. An aggressive behavior can sometimes be beneficial to any student particularly when it comes to problem-solving and decision-making. Female students who are expected to be passive and submissive must learn how to be assertive and firm in their decisions. Male students, on the other hand, who are expected to be insensitive, must learn how to be compassionate, caring, and sensitive to needs and feeling of others.
1. Between the two theories mentioned, I agree with the Psychoanalytic Theory because it tells more about the origin of the behavior and how personality develops through time.. Freud’s Psychosexual Theory states that an individual seeks pleasure from different areas of the body that are associated with sexual feelings, and this influences social development and personality problems. Alfred Adler tells that behavior is motivated by a desire to achieve success or superiority. Karen Horney assumes that social and cultural conditions have a powerful effect on a later personality. Carl Jung talks about the pairing of introversion and extroversion, and also tells about feeling, thinking, sensation, and intuition.
ReplyDelete2. I am going to use Freud’s Psychosexual Stages indentify the development in my life. At the oral stage, my parents told me that I used to put into my mouth any object that I grabbed. This indicates that I satisfied my desire with my mouth. At the anal stage, my parents trained me to use the toilet. Before that, I used to mess my bed. First, they washed me after using the toilet. Then, they gradually trained me to do it on my own. I still messed my bed for a short time while being trained. At the phallic stage, I used to compare myself with my father because we have the same gender. I envied him because he could do the things that he wanted, but I couldn’t. During that time, I felt closer to my mother, so I always told other people that I liked more than my father. At the latency stage, my life was very focused on my studies. I played a lot with other boys in school, not minding the girls around. At the start of the genital stage, I started to have interest in having a girlfriend. It is still happening until now. I am always thinking of being married and having a family of my own. Thus, I am preparing for it at present.
3. The psychoanalytic theory can greatly help the students be aware of themselves. It is evidently clear that lack of resolution in a stage, especially that of Freud’s theory, can affect the sociality development of an individual and it can definitely cause personality problems. If a student is stuck in the oral stage, I will try teaching him about the dangers of smoking, too much eating, drug addiction, heart problems, and spread of infection by oral means. In that way, they can be more aware of the consequences of their actions, and hopefully, stop their addictions. If that doesn’t work, I will call the attention of a professional therapist. If a student is stuck in the anal stage, I will teach him how to have good manners and etiquette, such as good hygiene and sanitation. I will tell him that cleanliness and order are virtues that should be learned. I will instill discipline in his actions so that he will keep those rules in mind. If a student is stuck at the phallic stage, I will encourage him to respect both of his parents and love them equally. I will teach him the roles of each parent in his life. If a student is stuck at the latency stage, he might not have a lot of friends and he might just be on his own all the time. Studying is important, but having good relationships, not necessarily with the opposite sex, can help make one a better person. Therefore, I will ask him about his hobbies, and try to find some students who have the same interests. I will encourage him to play with other people from time to time. Since I am at the genital stage, I can fully relate to someone who is undergoing the same stage. Someone at this stage could have problems with unhappy or unfulfilled relationships or married life. It can go on repeatedly. I can try to help the person solve his problems by taking him back to the root of the problem. I can also ask help from support groups so that there are many people who can watch over him and give him a lot of advice.
1. What Theory of Personality: Psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Adler, Horney, or Jung) or Behaviorist Theory (Skinner, Pavlov, or Bandura) do you agree?
ReplyDeleteI am firmly convinced with that of the Behaviorist theory because our environment has a huge impact on our personality. We acquire most of our behavior through our interaction to others. Whatever we see in our environment, when we were young, we try to imitate them. So we are who we are right now because of the people who influence us so much as we grow up.
2. Trace the application of the chosen theory in your personal life.
When I was younger, I remember my mom would always tell me to pray before going to sleep. This kind of bahavior is still with me up to now. I also remember my grade four teacher who taught me to be honest. She never got angry when I told her the truth, whether that truth is something bad. According to her, what matter was you be honest to me. So until now, I don’t know why, I don’t like lying to teachers.
So you can see in here how these people shape me as who I am right now.
3. How can you help develop the personality of your students by applying the chosen theory?
Ba a good example to the students. Show them only good things. I believe an honest teacher will only produce an honest student. Teachers should make sure they have good behavior. They have to stop whatever vices they have once they become a teacher.
1. Though Behaviorist Theory has some key points: Skinner's Operant Conditioning (reward and punishment), Pavlov's Classical Conditioning, and Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, I agree more on the Psychoanalytic Theory specifically with that of Karen Horney's sociocultural approach. I believe that our environment especially the people around us has a great impact on our personality development.
ReplyDelete2. There's an old saying, "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are" and I proved this to be true based on my personal experiences. As a person relate to a group of people, this person will have the same personality to that group of people. I happen to be included in a group of friends who are friendly, cheerful, hardworking and responsible students way back in college. I enjoyed their company and they give me the encouragement and inspiration to do good in school and this I think made me the person I am today.
3. I will advise my students to choose their friends. I know that family is more important but there were instances that students (especially at adolescent stage) listen more to their friends than their families. With the wrong set of friends, they may tend to engage in prohibited activities like joining fraternities and drug addiction which will ruin their future.
1. What Theory of Personality: Psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Adler, Horney, or Jung) or Behaviorist Theory (Skinner, Pavlov, or Bandura) do you agree?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Freud’s Psychosexual Stages because each individual has to undergo a level wherein a person seeks a pleasure to be met because if not met dilemma may occur in a person. According to Anonat (2009), Freud emphasized that a child’s first five years were most important to social and personality development and would influence future and social development or personality problems.
2. Trace the application of the chosen theory in your personal life.
During the 1-2 years of my life, I remember that my mother told me I loved to drink milk and everything I grasp I tend to put inside my mouth, even my toy. During my toddler years, I was trained by my mother for toilet-training and discipline was also imposed like sleeping in the afternoon and playtime schedule. I remember during my elementary days, I tend to be closer to my father. Whenever, going to sleep, eating, going to school and siesta time. During puberty, I am attracted to opposite gender, but because of my upbringing, it was suppressed because my focus is my studies. At present (young adulthood), I tend to enjoy company of my family and friends but not much of opposite of gender. I may say still, there is a room for improvement to build a healthy relationship.
3. How can you help develop the personality of your students by applying the chosen theory?
According to Freud, a person’s future personality and social development will depend, to a large extent , on what he/she experience during the first three Psychosexual stages, which occur during the first five years. Guided by the principle, we may need to assess the childhood development of the student, from the information gathered; we may found out the cause of the problem and address it accordingly by what stage the student was deprived of . Then little by little would apply the solution formulated. Because we are not really after abrupt changes, we need to monitor the student on how he/she is coping up.
1. What Theory of Personality: Psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Adler, Horney, or Jung) or Behaviorist Theory (Skinner, Pavlov, or Bandura) do you agree?
ReplyDeleteI weigh myself on what theory of personality I conform to, although I agree with some of the ideas and concepts about the Behaviorist theory, I think I agree more on the Psychoanalytical theory, especially with Sigmund Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Personality that describes how personality develops during childhood and said that early experiences play a large role in personality development and continue to influence behavior later in life.
2. Trace the application of the chosen theory in your personal life.
Although I can’t remember well my early childhood, I remember myself as a Daddy’s girl when my father is still alive a year ago. Since my mother is always busy with our family business, my father was the one who took care of me when I was a child. My father’s work in the past was always in night shift, returning home early morning like 2-3am, but would still make an effort to cook my breakfast before I went to school. Maybe these are one of the many reasons that I became close with my father, I always asked about his views in this and that; I always asked for his opinion and sometimes do what for him was right. I became too dependent on him but one day he asked me, what if I am not there to do these things for you, to make decisions for you? Then, I realized that he’s right, I should learn to become independent and do things according to my own decisions and learn from every mistakes and failures that I would meet because I think that it would help me a lot in the future. This point in my life would trace back to Freud’s Psychosexual Stages of Personality (Phallic Stage).
3. How can you help develop the personality of your students by applying the chosen theory?
For me, developing one’s personality will solely depend on one’s decision on how and what reaction or character she/he would show. But as an educator, one of the ways for me to develop the personality of the students is to become their role model and example for them. I, as an educator would act according to what is right and would not act according to what is wrong. Although, it is expected that not all students would follow you but being true and honest to yourself and to everyone around you would make the students open to you, that is when you can ask the students a glimpse of their personal life outside the school, then you would know the reasons on why they behave like this and that. After that, you’ll begin now to look for solutions if a problem arises. Personality would not change according to the environment alone, it will still be up to the individual’s decision on what side of herself/himself will he/she would show in the society.

1. What theory of Personality – Psychoanalytic theory or Behaviorist theory do you agree?
ReplyDeleteI am more convinced with the Behaviorist Theories of Skinner, Pavlov and Bandura. Primarily because individual is always been influenced by other, whether by other people or an object or thing. When we are still young, we looked up to our parents as our model, i.e. we also want to be like them (loving, kind-hearted, responsible and GOD fearing). By serving as a model, we try to emulate them in our own way. The parents, meanwhile, conditioned our mind and behavior by teaching us what is right from wrong, showing us the good moral values that we should practice in our daily living.
2. Trace the application of the chosen theory in your personal life.
A good example of the application of behaviorist theory in my personal life is not to mingle in adult’s conversation because it is rude and unrespectful, and praying the rosary every night. When I was a kid, every time we had visitors, my parents, especially my mom, will stare at us ( looking directly into us with big eyes), and that staring means that we have to leave them because that “talking thing” is not for children. So even now, we go to our room when my parents have visitors and will come out only if we are called.
3. How can you help develop the personality of your students by applying the chosen theory?
Using the Behaviorist Theories, especially the Bandura’s Theory of Observational Learning, I can help develop the personality of my students by being a good role model to them. Teachers have huge influence in student development. They are always remembered especially those teachers who made a great impact on them. They are not only remembered but sometimes they are being imitated and followed their footsteps and be a good educator someday.
1. What Theory of Personality: Psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Adler, Horney, or Jung) or Behaviorist Theory (Skinner, Pavlov, or Bandura) do you agree?
ReplyDeleteI firmly believe in behaviorist theory because in order to stimuli in a changing environment, we should learn to change and adapt through the process of learning. On the other hand, behavior can also be modify by involving deliberate interventions such as rewards or punishments.
2. Trace the application of the chosen theory in your personal life.
As a Media practitioner, I should be adapted to many circumstances. Like if I came to visit the slums area, I groomed myself comfortably as well as properly so I can blend in with the surroundings. Also, I manage my behavior and act patiently in order to gain their sympathy and eventually provide me information I need for my news report. This is just the same case when I happen to visit government offices and/or appointed to meet some honored politicians; of course I should groom myself presentably for them to put their trust on me.
Whenever I go to the field to cover a story, I am always armed with knowledge and have background information about the issue. Furthermore, during an interview, I should exhibit professional ethics, thus, avoiding the involvement of my personal emotions towards the situations
3. How can you help develop the personality of your students by applying the chosen theory?
As an Educator, I will use my knowledge and skills as a Media practitioner in developing student’s behavior. I will provide them direct to the point statements and factual information which develops their truthfulness. In addition, I will also practice neutrality in class. For example, if there is a dispute in class caused by two negating parties, I will ensure that both parties will receive necessary responds.
1. I will have to agree with Freud's Psychoanalytic theory primarily in the existence of the id,ego and superego. I also believe in the presence of the unconscious mind which we are not fully aware of and these feelings, thoughts and emotions only manifests in our dreams.I also think that we, as humans, are instinctual in nature therefore we are driven by factors such as hunger, thirst and even by libido.
ReplyDelete2. I firmly believe in the existence of the unconscious because I often have deja vu. It may be creepy and even mystical at times but I think that the unconscious enables us to foresee those things for it can serve as a warning of some sort. When it comes to decision-making as well, I often think twice and that's because I get divided and caught-up with the id, ego and superego. There are times when the id gets the best of me like when I spend all my money on splurges and there are times when the ego and the superego team up and come together and it makes me realize the consequences of my actions specially my impracticality when it comes to spending and shopping.
3. As a teacher, I can apply Freud's psychoanalytic theory in my classes by telling my students that the id, ego and superego exist for a reason. Usually students are young and they tend to act on their impulses therefore the id is clearly working but by stressing out the function of the ego and superego, the students will have a concept of balance and from there they can figure out the reality of life and determine what is wrong from what is right. The id may overwhelm them but by knowing that two other forces are present in their minds then they have a choice and they can fully work out their priorities.

Answer:
1. I agree with Pavlov,Skinner, and Bandura (Behavioral Theory), that behaviors of a person can be shaped based on the environment. Our association and interaction with people affects our personality. The values taught by our parents and adults have a great impact on our lives. They taught us what’s right from wrong, what’s good from bad. When we do right and good rewards were given and when we do wrong and what’s bad, punishment and bad consequences of the actions done were expected. It is very important though, that we have “good models” to imitate and look-up to and received “proper motivation and guidance” from “good” people we come to associate with.
2. As an only daughter, my growing up years had been happy. Loved by my parents and other siblings I felt secure. Though I could say they were good to me, I was also told and being punished when I did wrong. My parents especially, do not tolerate my bad behavior. My parents were very active in a “Charismatic Group” during my growing-up years. I had plenty of “Tito’s and Tita’s” who came to our house. To always pray and seek guidance from the Lord was instilled in me. My exposure and mingling with them have a great impact on my personality. I could say I become a better person.
3. I can help the development of the personality of my students by always reminding and re-iterating to them the advantages of following “good behavior”. Since we grew-up in different environments, the encouragement of not going astray, like cutting classes, doing vices like drugs, cigarettes, drinking etc. must be always reminded to them. If they see your good intention and concern for them, they may react positively. It is just very important that they must not lose their trust and confidence in you. We must not bring them down as they see us a good example of people they could imitate. We could encourage them also by telling them that when follow the “right path” , rewards are not far behind.

ReplyDelete1. According to Bandura children imitates the behavior that they see from adults. This is seen through actual models that they used for study. This was shown through a bobo doll experiment.
I agree with this theory. This theory basically states that children look at adults as models which they would consider as an example of how they should act.
2. The desire to have my own motorbike resurface when I need to have my own transport for my business. When we were living in Manila with my grandparents and uncles, I would always be amazed at how it would look easy for them to drive a big motorbike. My grandfather used to own 2 big motorbikes. My uncles would borrow these and would often used it rather than my lolo’s car. I would remember how lolo’s face would light up everytime he would tell stories how he would go to work on his motorbike and would take my mom and other siblings to the park in his motorbike. I also remembered that it is also very cost efficient.
Another influence I got from my parents, is being able to avoid saying bad words no matter how angry I am. I grew up in an environment were saying bad words (MURA) were taboo. Even when I was in school from elementary to college, most of my circle of friends do not also say “MURA” or bad words.
3. As teachers, we should be a good role model to our students. We must be very aware of how we carry ourselves, be very careful of the words we speak and how we interact with our fellow teachers and students. As teachers we should be able to encourage our students to excel in the areas where they are strong like in academics, sports, music, etc. A balance reward system should be established so that even the “average students” will be encouraged to try their best to excel. As with a reward system, the teacher should also know how to instill discipline amongst her students in a manner that the student would still feel your concern for them.
1. What Theory of Personality: Psychoanalytic theory (Freud, Adler, Horney, or Jung) or Behaviorist Theory (Skinner, Pavlov, or Bandura) do you agree?
ReplyDelete- I agree with the Behaviorist Theory of Albert Bandura because he believes on modeling and says that more things are caught than taught and based on my experiences with my kinder students wherein some of my actions while teaching they were able to grasp.
2. Trace the application of the chosen theory in your personal life.
- My dad last year taught me how to drive a car. He was telling me what's the use of this and that so on but I noticed myself just looking on what he's doing so basically I was able to drive by just paying attention on what he's doing not on what he's saying.
3. How can you help develop the personality of your students by applying the chosen theory?
- As teachers, there are things we don't need to teach but are caught by the students so we should be watchful with our actions. We should educate students to learn how to be sensitive with the actions surrounding them because it may provide useful ideas or information that they may need.
I will go with the classical conditioning by Pavlov. Because one an individual is already been conditioned he/she will always be like that even the stimulant will be remove.
ReplyDeleteDuring elementary I was conditioned to have good scores/grades in exchange of a reward so i did my best to have good grades and receive rewards but as i grow older that reward was no longer offered to me but i continually work for a good grades because it already became part of my system to study and out smart my classmates.
I can help develop my students personality by grouping them. example i have a student who is lazy studying our lessons then what will i do is to put him/her in a group of studious students for him/her to acquire the attitude of studying and continually give him/her appreciation whenever he/she scores well for him/her.
