Question
Explain the humanistic approach to study of personality.
✓
Answer
Humanistic approach to personality:
Rogers believed that all human beings are fully-functional beings and feeling of fulfillment is the main motivational force. Basic Assumptions:
Behaviour is goal directed and worthwhile.
All human beings have an innate tendency to choose adaptive and self actualizing behaviours.
According to Rogers there are two types of self:
Real Self - What I am?
Ideal Self - What I want to be?
Congruence between the two leads to development of balanced integrated personality:
Unconditional positive regard develops adaptive behaviour which enhances self esteem and self efficacy to self actualize.
According to Maslow everybody wants to self actualize and attain their highest potential.
Focus on survival needs reduces him/ her to the level of animals and focus on higher needs leads to self actualization.
