interpretation, projective tests have been used by psychoanalytic
therapists to explain many factors in personality. Search the internet and

Erik Erikson believed that people grow and change in specific
psychosocial stages, each with an identified crisis that they must resolve.
He proposed that the way in which people resolve these crises will pave
the way for how they resolve future crises. This pattern of crisis
resolution becomes part of our personality and contributes to our identity
(Feist, 2018). Examine the 8 Psychosocial Stages proposed by Erikson.
Consider how far you have progressed through these stages in your life
and include the following in your response:
A description of how your experiences in these stages has contributed to
your personality as an adult.
A description of your thoughts on the strengths and limitations of these
stages in describing your personality.

17. What does self-actualization mean? What are the characteristics of self-
actualizing people, according to Maslow? How do these characteristics
affect self-actualization?

Gordon Allport conducted immense research in the field of personality
in an attempt to define the term and how it is comprised. He believed
that personality is a product and a process, and it plays a large role in
motivation. In his proposed structure of personality, personal
dispositions are dynamic and help guide other dispositions (Feist, 2018).
Please expain the following in regards to Allport so that I can understand
it better.
What are the levels of personal dispositions, and how are they different
from one another? Provide an example of each level.
