Personality and Individual Differences flowcharts

Personality and Individual Differences flowcharts

These flowcharts organize ideas about personality in different ways. Major Approaches To Personality brings together approaches including trait, psychodynamic, behavioral and humanistic views. Perspectives & Paradigms also sets out different explanations, including those based on physiology and unconscious conflict.

For a starting point, open Major Approaches To Personality and follow its branches to see how the approaches are grouped. Then use Humanistic Theory - Rogers & Maslow to look more closely at humanistic ideas, or Alfred Adler - Psychoanalytic Theory to follow Adler's account of a drive behind behavior and experience.

Study with the diagrams

Read through a flowchart, then cover it and try to recall the ideas and connections it shows. Return to any branch you missed. When you want to check your recall in a different way, switch to a quiz on the unit page; use flashcards when you want to focus on individual terms.
