3. Humanistic
theory
Author/Proponent:
Maslow
Assumptions
made
Maslow proposed that human activities are
the result of a person's attempt at fulfilling five basic
needs: physiological, safety, social, esteem and self-actualization.
According to Maslow, these needs can create internal pressures that can
influence a person's behaviour.
If our basic human needs are met, people will
strive toward self-actualization and succeed in life.
4. The Five
factor theory
People's personalities do differ. These differences
can be organized into five broad categories (groups), called the Big Five or Five Factors. These are sometimes referred to as the five
broad dimensions/traits of personality.
Ø Conscientiousness
Ø Agreeableness
Ø Extraversion
Ø Openness to experience
Ø Emotional stability
