Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.8
How does the humanistic perspective of personality theory diverge from Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic perspective?
The humanistic perspective suggests that physical needs are most important in shaping personality.
It emphasizes individual growth and potential rather than unconscious influences.
It supports the idea of unconscious motivations as the primary driver of behavior.
Both theories focus heavily on childhood experiences for personality development.
