Birth Order Theory
Download as PPTX, PDF7 likes17,356 views
The document discusses theories on how birth order affects personality traits and life outcomes. Alfred Adler first proposed that birth order influences personality. Later theorists like Frank Sulloway analyzed traits associated with each birth order, like first borns being leaders and last borns more creative. Research also suggests birth order affects intelligence, with first borns scoring higher on IQ tests, and careers, with first borns more suited to management. Genetics are believed to also influence personality in addition to birth order effects from early family experiences. The theories remain widely debated regarding impacts.

Carl Jung Theory of Personality
Carl Jung Theory of Personalityleony espin Carl Jung expanded Freud's theory of the unconscious to include a collective unconscious shared among all humans. This collective unconscious contains archetypes - common patterns and symbols representing human experiences like heroes and mothers. Jung also described extraverted and introverted personality types, as well as types that make decisions rationally through thinking or feeling, and irrationally through sensation or intuition.
Horney's theory
Horney's theoryJasmine Nadja Pinugu Karen Horney was a German psychoanalyst who developed theories about how social and cultural conditions, especially childhood experiences, shape personality. She believed that people whose needs for love and affection are not satisfied in childhood develop basic anxiety and hostility towards their parents. Horney identified three neurotic strategies people use to cope: moving towards people, moving against people, and moving away from people. She argued that normal individuals flexibly use all three strategies, while neurotics rigidly adhere to just one.

AS Psychodynamic approach abnormality
AS Psychodynamic approach abnormalityJill Jan Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist who developed psychoanalysis. He lived from 1856 to 1939, originally practicing as a doctor in Vienna but later leaving for London after the Nazi takeover of Austria. Freud's psychodynamic theory proposed that unconscious drives and desires shape conscious behavior and personality. He suggested the mind is divided into the id, ego, and superego, and that unconscious conflicts between these lead to neurosis. Freud believed childhood experiences, especially in the psychosexual stages, could impact adult personality and behavior.

2) Those with an internal locus of control believe they have control over their own lives through their actions and choices, while those with an external locus tend to believe that external forces like luck or fate control outcomes.
3) People's locus of control exists on a spectrum and can vary in different situations, but in general those with an internal locus are more motivated, success-oriented, and politically active, while those with an external locus are more passive and accepting of things outside their control.
Alfred adler and individual Psychology Theories of personality
Alfred adler and individual Psychology Theories of personalityMishaRiaz Alfred Adler was born in 1870 in Vienna and initially practiced as an ophthalmologist before switching to general practice. Working with circus performers, he was inspired by their strengths and weaknesses and began developing his theories of compensation and inferiority. Adler's individual psychology focuses on each person's uniqueness and social influences over biological drives. He emphasized social motives like superiority over Freud's focus on pleasure and sexuality. For Adler, people develop inferiority complexes when overwhelmed by difficulties, and compensate by pretending superiority or perfecting weaker areas. Neuroses result from insufficient social interest and can take ruling, getting, or avoiding forms.

- Alfred Adler believed that people are motivated by social influences and a striving for superiority rather than just sex and aggression. He also believed people have significant responsibility for who they become.
- Adler asserted that both genders are capable of "masculine protest" as children but what they protest is shaped by societal expectations of gender roles.
- Horney developed the concept of "basic anxiety" which results from unsatisfied childhood needs for love and affection and a sense of hostility toward parents. She believed this drives the development of protective strategies and neurotic needs in personality.
Self determination theory
Self determination theoryJeannie Maraya Self-determination theory (SDT) is a theory of motivation developed by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan that focuses on supporting innate psychological needs for competence, autonomy and relatedness. SDT posits that these basic needs must be satisfied for people to experience optimal motivation and development, and that social and environmental factors can either support or thwart need satisfaction. According to SDT, when these needs are fulfilled people become self-determined to pursue and persist in activities out of interest or intrinsic motivation.

A key concept was social interest, the urge to adapt to one's social environment. Adler believed humans strive for superiority, initially conceived as aggression but later as a will to power, and that we develop fictional goals and interpretations to structure our understanding of reality. Feelings of inferiority arise from our dependence as infants and motivate growth. Each person develops a unique style of life to achieve superiority through talents, environment, and goal orientations.

Alfred adler report q
Alfred adler report qscarlet tadifa Alfred Adler was an Austrian medical doctor and psychotherapist who founded the school of individual psychology. Some key aspects of Adler's theory included his emphasis on social motives and feelings of inferiority driving people's behaviors, the importance of birth order and family dynamics in personality development, and his view that people's fictional future goals or "life style" guide their actions. Adler broke from Freud's psychoanalytic school by focusing more on conscious motivations and social interests rather than unconscious drives and sexuality. He saw dreams and early memories as ways to understand people's approaches to solving life problems.
Nasty people in organizations and society
Nasty people in organizations and societySeth Spain Bertrand Russell was a 1950 Nobel laureate in literature who made major contributions to analytic philosophy and symbolic logic. However, he also had significant personal flaws, cheating on multiple wives and possibly having an affair with his schizophrenic son's wife. Despite his personal shortcomings, Russell was also morally courageous, spending time in jail for his stances on issues like conscription and nuclear weapons. Overall, while Russell had character flaws as an individual, his work had a positive social impact and helped make the world a better place.

Naturalism
NaturalismJeraldine Cabayaran This document discusses the philosophy of naturalism and its implications for education.

Spearman's Intelligence Theory and Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory; Im...Hamza Yousaf Hamza Yousaf presents on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner challenged the idea of intelligence as a single general ability and proposed that there are at least eight different intelligences: logical-mathematical, verbal-linguistic, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. Each intelligence involves a different skill set and potential career paths are explored for each type of intelligence.

Anasthesia
AnasthesiaSerphaty Anaesthesia is used to cause reversible loss of sensation during medical procedures like surgery to eliminate pain. Before modern anaesthesia, surgeries were excruciatingly painful and people would avoid them, but Dr. Crawford Long discovered ether anaesthesia. Now, anaesthesia is highly advanced and effective, allowing for complex surgeries with a mortality rate of less than 1 in 100,000. The anaesthesia process involves induction to lose consciousness, maintenance of the anaesthetic effect, and emergence to regain consciousness.
Apd
ApdSerphaty Auditory processing disorder (APD) refers to difficulties interpreting sounds and auditory information in the brain. It can affect 2-3% of children and 17-20% of adults, often being misdiagnosed as other conditions due to shared symptoms. Causes may include genetic factors, head trauma, or ear infections.

Neuroplasticity
NeuroplasticitySerphaty The document discusses neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to change its structure and function based on environment. It notes that neuroplasticity exists at all levels of the brain and can be seen through examples like blindness, love, depression, surgery, sexuality, and environment. The key points are that the brain is always changing and creating new paths through neuroplasticity, and we need to regularly exercise our skills to maintain them, as the brain can reconstruct itself through "use it or lose it" neuroplasticity.

Friends offer support, trust, and love. The community encourages children and helps them feel accepted through bonding activities.

Birth Order Theory
- 1. Max Serfaty
- 2. Definition “Birth order is defined as a person's rank by age among his or her siblings. Birth order is often believed to have a profound and lasting effect on psychological development.”
- 3. Variations of the Theory Alfred Adler (1870-1937) Suggested that birth order affects personality Talks about genetics Widely disputed
- 4. Frank J. Sulloway (1947-) Theory revolves around the ‘Big Five’ 6th added later, as theory progressed Depending on order, the traits are redistributed
- 5. Personality Order in Family Traits most likely Conclusion First Borns Leaders, responsible types, need to manage, need control, focus. Low risk takers that above all want to suceed. Second Borns/Middle Borns People people, compromisers, need to belong, peace- keepers Need people in order to succeed, and will go far to keep relationships intact. ‘Onlies’ Quiet achievers, finishers, work well, want recognition, secretive. Aim to please, mostly themselves by setting high bars. Youngests Idea people, creative, fun, impatient. Enjoy life, sometimes can be hedonistic, but impact everyone.
- 6. Robert Zajonc Intelligence 1st borns have higher IQ due to adult influences Intelligence depends on family size Younger children less smart due to many influences.
- 7. Careers Model of careers depending on Birth order: 1st borns: More suited for leadership roles, managements, administration, not business Middles: Perfect for business, stock markets, working in the field Youngests: Good with art, usually have lowest ranking jobs
- 8. Sexuality is greatly affected by the theory, due to genetics. Every 3rd male has a 95% of being homosexual, by product of evolution Women’s sexuality not affected
- 9. Genetics Play a part in intelligence and sexuality, as an instinct Personlity depends on genes of parents, as much as birth order Influences early on counter this theory
