UOP PSY/250 Week 2 Worksheet | Dr. Ellingford Psychoanalytic Social Theory & the theory of Psychosocial Development Part I. Summary of Theories (30% of Worksheet Grade) ? Tip - Part I: Describing a person’s theory is not the same as describing biographical details about a person’s life. Don’t make this mistake. Theory only. 1. Summarize the Psychoanalytic Social Theory (Ch. 6 – Karen Horney). Write 90+ words in complete sentences.) A.) Psychoanalytic theory was built on the assumption that social and cultural conditions, especially childhood experiences, are largely responsible for shaping personality. Horney theorized that people combat basic anxiety by adopting one of three styles of relating to others: moving toward people, moving against people, or moving away from people. Although Horney’s writings are concerned mostly with the neurotic personality, many of her ideas can also be applied to normal individuals. She believed that environment and social upbringing, rather than intrinsic factors largely lead to neurosis. She believed that people need warm, supportive environments and strong relationships to find ones “true self” 2. Summarize the theory of Psychosocial Development (Ch. 7 – Erik Erikson). Write 90+ words in complete sentences. A.) Eriksons theory is, people advance through the stages of development based on how they adjust to social crises throughout life. These crises create a foundation for how individuals react to the world around them. Psychosocial development describes how a person’s personality develops, and how social skills are learned throughout life. He states that the eight stages of psychosocial development. The individual faces a conflict at each stage, which may or may not be successfully resolved within the stage. Each stage prepares you for the next, from infancy to adulthood. Each crisis is a steppingstone. Part II. Comparison of Theories (50% of Worksheet Grade) Compare the similarities and differences between the two theories. Provide at least 2+ similarities and 2+ differences. Write 175+ words in complete sentences. A.) They are similar because they both talk about how social interaction can affect the way we handle and look at life as well as they both came up with their own theories on how they think each “crisis” or interaction can affect a person’s development. They are different because, Horneys theory talks about how a child’s social relationships have effect on their future whereas

UOP PSY/250 Week 2 Worksheet | Dr. Ellingford Psychoanalytic Social Theory & the theory of Psychosocial Development Erikson believes each of the 8 stages prepares us for the next and we develop personality through all stages of life. I believe that overall, they are similar but, they have their things that make them different. I think that without both of their information we wouldn’t be able to understand things the way that we do. Erikson used psychohistory and anthropological studies for his method of research while Horney used her focus more on the neurotic needs and trends. She was able to focus on the self-image and reflection where Erikson didn’t talk much about that. Both reflected on their own personal lives to prove their theories and provide support. They both had their own way of explaining their theories and it worked out for both. Part III. The Value of Erikson & Horney’s Theories in a Book (10% of Worksheet Grade) Write an explanation of why you personally think we need books in real life on the topic of personality that discuss Horney’s and Erikson’s theories. (Write 175+ words in complete sentences.) A.) I personally think we need books in real life on this topic because, not only could it help many people who also think that way but, it could open our minds to new ways of thinking. I really enjoyed learning about both theories, but I genuinely thought that Horneys theory was very interesting. It was interesting to think about how the relationships we form are “needed” to become one’s true self. She identified 10 categories of neurotic needs for, Affection and approval, powerful partner, restrict one’s life within narrow borders, power, exploit others, social recognition, personal admiration, ambition and achievement, self-sufficiency and perfection and unassailability. I think having books on how the crisis we face throughout life can affect us could help us learn how to handle/ prepare for them in the future. Overall, I think that books are a passageway to someone else’s mind and getting to see how other people think has always been interesting to me. Having the eight stages of Erikson’s development would also be very knowledgeable to have in hand! Having more information on theories and the way things affect us and how we develop the better!
