different theories of personalities
Humanistic Theory. The humanistic approach to the study of personality includes a number of theories that, although different in some respects, share a common emphasis on man's potential for self-direction and freedom of choice. They are concerned with the self and the individual's subjective experiences.
Trait Theory : Traits are dimensions or scales on the basis of which a personality is described. Psychologists working in the area of trait theory are concerned with (1) determining the basic traits that provide a meaningful description of personality and, (2) finding some way to measure them.
