Activity 2

“Personality Development”
Direction: Enumerate and describe the following
1. Components of Personality:
 Spiritual and moral values
Is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be
loving to yourself and others. A spiritual person cares about people,
animals and the planet. A spiritual person knows that we are all One, and
consciously attempts to honor this Oneness. Moral values are the
behavioral practices, goals, and habits which are validated by the society
we're part of. Moral values concern themselves with right and wrong. They
also define what is socially acceptable, good or evil. Moral values are
ideas that society considers important.
 Psychosocial traits
Psychosocial characteristics is commonly described as
an individual's psychological development in relation to his/her social and
cultural environment. Individual psychological and social aspects are
related to individual's social conditions, mental and emotional health.
 Temperament
Temperament is defined as “the constellation of inborn traits that
determine a child's unique behavioral style and the way he or she
experiences and reacts to the world”
 Physical or biological traits and characteristics
Physical characteristics are defining traits or features of a person's
body. These are aspects of appearance that are visually apparent to
others, even with no other information about the person. They can include
a variety of things. Hair and facial features play a big role but aren't the
whole picture. Biological traits describe species' physiology, morphology,
life history, and behavior, capturing both inter-specific interactions and the
connections between species and their environment.
 Capacities
Capacity is a potential to develop a skill, usually mental; native, as
opposed to acquired.

2. Freud’s psychosexual stages

1. Oral Stage (birth to 1 year)
Oral stage, in Freudian psychoanalytic theory, initial psychosexual stage
during which the developing infant's main concerns are with oral gratification.
Freud said that through the mouth the infant makes contact with the first
object of libido (sexual energy), the mother's breast.
2. Anal Stage (second year of life)
The anal stage, in Freudian psychology, is the period of human
development occurring at about one to three years of age. The anal stage
coincides with the start of the child's ability to control their anal sphincter, and
therefore their ability to pass or withhold feces at will.
3. Phallic Stage ( 35-60 years)
In Freudian psychoanalysis, the phallic stage is the third stage of
psychosexual development, spanning the ages of three to six years, wherein
the infant's libido (desire) centers upon their genitalia as the erogenous zone.
4. Latency Period (6 to puberty)
The period of reduced sexuality that Freud believed occured between
approximately age six and adolescence. Freud claimed that children went
through a "latency period" during which "we can observe a halt and
retrogression in sexual development" 
5. Genital Stage (puberty)
The genital stage is the last stage of Freud's psychosexual theory of
personality development, and begins in puberty. It is a time of adolescent
sexual experimentation, the successful resolution of which is settling down in
a loving one-to-one relationship with another person in our 20's.
