Primary concept

Introduction

It is generally known that each person has a unique personality and way of developing

that personality. However, his personality and how to develop it are not well understood. Lecci

(2015) terms personality as an array of conduct, cognition, or effects that is unique to each

person and shows some consistency across time and settings. There are several theories about

how personality develops. These theories are several conceptions that have been sculpted to

study and identify the reasons and influences that impact personality development and human

behavior. In this essay, discusses four of the seven fundamental psychological theories that make

up personality theory’s basis and also discuss which model’s core notion best explains

personality development.

Psychodynamic Model

This psychodynamic approach concentrates on the psychological factors that influence

human conduct, emphasizing the interaction of unconscious and conscious drives. The

psychodynamic paradigm is primarily dependent on the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund

Freud. Freud’s psychoanalytic concept contains three fundamental tenets: every human conduct

is controlled by aggressive and sexual drives, humans are constantly at odds with society and

themselves, and every important element of psychological operation are concealed from the

person. Although many people criticize his work for overemphasizing sex and being

unquantifiable, Freud initiated the science of psychoanalysis as he provided the groundwork for

the subsequent philosophers with his thoughts.
