Theories of personalities, discussion post

chess piece that stands out from rest Please consider the following prompt and craft a response that sufficiently captures all aspects of it from your unique point of view and original research. Please cite and reference any source(s) you use to help write this response in APA format. Notice that in addition to your Main Entry post, you will need to offer two substantive classmate response posts to complete this exercise. See below instructions that will guide your peer engagement thinking/posting. See syllabus or course calendar for due dates for both Main Entry posts and peer engagement. Main Entry: Self-Actualization Both humanists you read about in this unit consider self-actualization as the ultimate goal of personality development something we are all striving for in some way, shape, or form. Maslow felt we got there by getting all, more base-level, needs met, and Rogers believed we got there by experiencing an empathetic, unconditionally supportive environment. Indeed, self-actualization is a goal, both a journey and a destination, and if you look around, you can probably identify someone in your life who is close to attaining it if not all the way there. Who is that person in your life, the one who has either attained self-actualization or is very close to doing so? What is their relationship to you? Describe what it is like to observe them from the outside. How do you know theyve attained or are close to attaining self-actualization? How do they behave? How do they seem? What is life like for someone who is self-actualized (or close to it?) How do you feel when you are around them? What effect does this self-actualized person have on you? How would Carl Rogers describe how that person came to be self-actualized or so close to it? Give specific examples from that persons story that represent at least three identifiable elements of Rogers theory (consider bolding them to draw our attention to them). How would Abraham Maslow describe how that person came to be self-actualized or so close to it? Give specific examples from that persons story that represent at least three identifiable elements of Maslows theory (consider bolding to draw our attention). Peer Engagement Remember to circle back and substantively respond to two classmates by the due date specified in the syllabus and course calendar. Your peer engagement posts must go beyond summarizing and praising. To aid you in this endeavor, incorporate one or more of the following lines of thinking in your peer engagement posts, ensuring both a hearty, meaningful conversation and that your work meets criteria for substance and depth: Compare your observations of what life is like for a self-actualized (or close to self-actualized) person with that of your peers. What are the similarities between them? The differences? Compare how you feel around the person you discussed in your thread with how your peer described feeling around the person theyve identified. Can you synthesize a common experience for those who are exposed/around someone who has achieved/is achieving self-actualization? Rogers and Maslows theories have more than three components to them offer one or two more from each theory for your classmate to consider for their person and give some examples of what they might look like to help your peer think along those same lines.
