Now that we’ve finished reading Chapter 14 and viewed this week’s material, we are in a position to compare Humanism (from chapter 12) with Behaviorism as theories of personality.
1. First, state the basic principles of humanism (you may find the summary section starting on page 457 helpful). Please do so in your own words, and be brief.
2. Second, state the basic principles of behaviorism (the early sections of chapter 14 are most helpful here). Please do so in your own words, and be brief.
3. Finally, what do you think? If you had to pick only one of these two theories as THE best theory that explains your personality, which one would it be, and why? Please refer to the concepts from both theories in your answers
