- - - - Importance of psychological conflict: desire against social norms:
        
        Internal/External: hitting someone VS societal norms
        
        Internal/Internal: desire to lose weight VS desire to eat
      - Unconscious processes of the mind
      - Therapy: involves brining the unconscious to conscious (awareness)
      - Dynamics of the mind; desires, emotions
      - Development of personality: renouncing infantile desires & impulses (Opidus/Electra Complex)
    - - Automatic, hard to change (goal of therapy)
      - Unconscious methods of protecting against threatening desires/feelings
      - Examples
        
        Reaction Formation
        
        Forming an attitude opposite to wishes felt to be desireable
        
        Eg. a homophobic man with homosexual urges
        
        Rationalisation
        
        Forming a "rational" explanation for behaviour when real reason cannot be tolerated
        
        Eg. Conversion therapy
        
        Repression
        
        Forcing unacceptable desires out of awareness
        
        Results in psychosomatic experience of daily anxiety/unease
        
        Sublimation
        
        Chanelling a desire into a socially acceptable outlet
        
        Most adaptive
    - - Displacement
        
        Changing the target of an instinctive drive because the real target in in past/unavailable
      - Transference
        
        Feelings towards people in the past are transferred onto people in the present
        
        ANGER AT OTHER TO OTHER
      - Projection = ANGER AT SELF TO OTHER
  - - - Similar to Skinner's learning theory yet Bandura accounted for social methods of learning
      - Didn't focus on just behaviour; allows for cognitive processes
      - Learning theory that emphasises role of social factors
    - - Reinforcement: a consequence of behaviour that strengthens a response
      - Punishment: a consequence of behaviour that weakens a response
      - Behaviour is modified by its consquences
      - A modifier is added (positive), or subtracted (negative)
    - - Modelling: imitating the actions of others (bobo doll)
      - Vicarious learning: learning by observing the consequences of others' behaviour (stronger emotional experience = stronger leaning effect
  - - - Place important role on environmental factors (punishment)
      - Both appreciate cognition (beliefs)
      - Childhood = formative
- - - - Extroverted, Agreeable
    - - Introverted, Agreeable
    - - Extroverted, Conscientious
    - - Introverted, Conscientious
