PSY 405 Week 1 Discussion Question 1

PSY 405 Week 1 Discussion Question 1

As discussed in your Week One readings, personality theorists, like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, made certain assumptions about humanity in creating their personality theories.  These assumptions are categorized into six different dimensions:
•         Determinism versus free choice
•         Pessimism versus optimism
•         Causality versus teleology
•         Conscious versus unconscious
•         Biological versus social influence
•         Uniqueness versus similarities
I would like for each one of you to explain one of the dimensions listed above and how it can be used to evaluate an individual’s concept of humanity.  Please post your response to this thread and respond to the posts of your fellow students
