Biospheric Model Of Personality
The biospheric model of personality is a contribution to the psychology of personality proposed by Andras Angyal in 1941. According to this model, the biosphere is the system of the individual and their environment, consisting of Subject subsystem (the individual) and Object subsystem (the environment).Angyal, Andras (1941) ''Foundations for a science of personality'', The Commonwealth Fund. Description The following outlines the author's holistic view of the biosphere: *The Subject pole: ''Elements'': attitude, drive, craving; ''Organized into'': axioms of behavior, systems of axioms, the personal system principle. *The Object pole: ''Elements'': relevance, valence, demand quality; ''Organized into'': axiomatic values, systems of values, the environment's system. Angyal describes three personality dimensions: *vertical dimension, with surface behavior and deep attitudes that guide that behavior; *progressive dimension, which is the series of behaviors that lead to attaining a ...

Andras Angyal
Andras Angyal (1902–1960) was a Hungarian-American psychiatrist, known for a holistic model for a theory of personality. Work His 1939 work on "The Structure of Wholes" was seen as a precedent to systems theory in books in the 1960s–1980s edited by Fred Emery. Angyal's biospheric model of personality was found to have greater generality beyond the domain of personality, to a broader range of systems. Angyal ... coined the word ''biosphere''. The word refers to both the individual and the environment, "''not as interacting'' parts, ''not as constituents'' which have independent existence, but as aspects of a single reality which can be separated only by abstraction". .. The biosphere is seen as a system of interlocking systems so arranged that any given sub-system of the biosphere is both the container of lesser systems and the container of a greater system or systems. The interplay of the interlocking systems creates a tension which gives rise to the energy, which is availabl ...

Cognitive-affective Personality System
The cognitive-affective personality system or cognitive-affective processing system (CAPS) is a contribution to the psychology of personality proposed by Walter Mischel and Yuichi Shoda in 1995. According to the cognitive-affective model, behavior is best predicted from a comprehensive understanding of the person, the situation, and the interaction between person and situation. Description Cognitive-affective theorists argue that behavior is not the result of some global personality trait; instead, it arises from individuals' perceptions of themselves in a particular situation. However, inconsistencies in behavior are not due solely to the situation; inconsistent behaviors reflect stable patterns of variation within the person. These stable variations in behavior present themselves in the following framework: If A, then X; but if B, then Y. People's pattern of variability is the behavioral signature of their personality, or their stable pattern of behaving differently in various si ...

Systems Psychology
Systems psychology is a branch of both theoretical psychology and applied psychology that studies human behaviour and experience as complex systems. It is inspired by systems theory and systems thinking, and based on the theoretical work of Roger Barker, Gregory Bateson, Humberto Maturana and others. Groups and individuals are considered as systems in homeostasis. Alternative terms here are "systemic psychology", "systems behavior", and "systems-based psychology". Types In the scientific literature, different kinds of systems psychology have been mentioned: ;Applied systems psychology :In the 1970s the term applied systems psychology was being used as a specialism directly related to engineering psychology and Human factors and ergonomics, human factor. ;Cognitive systems theory :Cognitive systems psychology is a part of cognitive psychology and like existential psychology, attempts to dissolve the barrier between conscious and the unconscious mind. ;Concrete systems psycholog ...

Organismic Theory
Organismic theories in psychology are a family of holistic psychological theories which tend to stress the organization, unity, and integration of human beings expressed through each individual's inherent growth or developmental tendency. The idea of an explicitly "organismic theory" dates at least back to the publication of Kurt Goldstein's ''The organism: A holistic approach to biology derived from pathological data in man'' in 1934. Organismic theories and the "organic" metaphor were inspired by organicist approaches in biology. The most direct influence from inside psychology comes from Gestalt psychology. This approach is often contrasted with mechanistic and reductionist perspectives in psychology. Examples of organismic theories and theorists *Kurt Goldstein's organismic theory *Ludwig von Bertalanffy's organismic psychology within his general systems theory *Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development *Heinz Werner (psychologist), Heinz Werner's Heinz Werner's orthog ...
