My personality is influenced by the environment around me. Everything and everyone around us tells a person how to think, feel, and act. If a person did something against the norm they would be looked and thought of in a negative way therefore making people think, feel, and act how others would like them too. The Humanistic Perspective makes the most sense to me for personality theories. People strive to be the better self and wish to have unconditional positive regard. My parents, friends, and coworkers influence how I act, think, and feel about things. If I was told something was improper then I would stop acting that way. Listening to people talk about others and different subjects influences how I think and feel about that person or subject. I think that in my life so far I have used all types of defense mechanisms at least once. The most recent mechanism I have used was the projection mechanism.
The first video I watched, which was “Moral Psychology”, didn’t really make that much sense to me. All of the references to politics were over my head because I don’t pay attention to politics and don’t understand them. The second video that I watched, “Traits (Human Experience)”, was a lot easier to understand and I could relate to it more. So for me the video on traits was more helpful. I like how in the video it says that you can always change your career even at fifty. The personality tests are really helpful because they show results that you weren’t aware of being true, also they confirm what a person may thing true but have the need to be confirmed by a test.
