Personality: Carl Jung and Myra

1. Which person-to-personity type does Myra display, according to Freudian surmisal? Provide inference for your answer. What caused it?Myra must get under ones skin experienced neurotic anxiety in the front of her husbands authority as she precedently must have experienced unconscious feelings of destruction against her parents because of fear of punishment, so she exaggerates her killings and frequently portrays herself as a martyr who does so much for others and asks so little for herself, when in reality she usu each(prenominal)y over sees the cleaning and tells others what to do, and her husband or children booster her.This same neurotic anxiety makes her aggressive towards her populate as erst grass went flying into her garden from her neighbors while mowing and as a result Myra threw a fit and did non talk to the neighbor for two years. Myra displays a disturbing pattern of establishing relationships and then ending them by being rude. She sometimes criticizes mas ses to their faces, or she just stops art them. Moreover, this neurotic anxiety makes her concerned about spending money and she refrains from expenditure it despite being middle class and really not poor. As a defense mechanism, Myra has developed an anal fixation, which manifests in her obsession with spruceness and orderliness.2. Why does Myra feel that cleaning the support is her responsibility? How would Jungian theory explain Myra adopting this traditional role? According to Jung the mind or idea has two levels conscious and unconscious. Unlike Freud, Jung believes that collective unconscious refers to humans congenital tendency to react in a particular appearance whenever their experiences kindle a biological inherited response tendency.This explains why Myra unexpectedly reacts with cheat and persistence to the field of operations cleanliness, tidiness and orderliness although she had negative or at least neutral feelings toward the job, especially when we know tha t her spawn always took alimony of their house and thought that it was the womans responsibility to do so and Myra has learnt how to clean correctly from her mother who punished her when she did not clean something well enough.Of course, her mothers belief of house cleanliness was passed to her from her mother and so on through generations until it became a collective unconscious which Jung sees as autonomous forces called archetypes which, when evolved, can be conceptualized into persona, shadow, anima, animus, corking mother, wise oldman, hero, and self.3. How could radical behaviorism explain Myras cleaning behavior? Find examples of reinforcement of punishment that might have influenced Myras cleaning behavior.According to Freud, Myras self which is the only region of the mind in contact with reality and it is governed by the reality principle has made the purpose on cleanness and neatness of her house and yard, besides written text things in order. And because the ego is partially conscious, partly preconscious and partly unconscious, her ego can make decisions on each of these three levels. Myra exaggerates in cleaning her house, gooding her yard and garden and arranging her things in order as her ego consciously motivates her to choose ebullient neatness, tidiness and arrangements because she feels comfortable and proud of her estate and things being like this and people compliment her for this.Meanwhile she may be, on her preconscious level, only dimly aware of her previous experience when her friends or neighbors first praised her for the way she cleans the house, tidies the yard and the garden and arranges her things. Besides, she may be unconsciously motivated to be excessively clean, neat and nifty due to her childhood experiences of the toilet training and cleaning the house with her mother so as to avoid pain resulting from her parents punishment and gain diversion of their love and security measure. Also it has been settled in her s uperego what she should and should not do because of her experiences with take and punishment she must have received from her parents during her childhood. Thus she can be dominated by the superego, which results in her guilt-ridden or inferior-feeling person4. How could Banduras Social Cognitive Theory explain Myras traditionally maidenlike cleaning behavior? According to Albert Banduras Social Cognitive Theory, the way we react to expected events is usually more effectful than the event itself. Myras traditionally feminine cleaning behavior can be explained on the basis of her observing her mother cleaning and perhaps financially managing the house as well as having the same belief that her mother had as housework is the main responsibility of a woman.Myras behavior is withal reinforced by the compliments she receives from herneighbors and friends who overtly express their admirations of her clean house, tidy yard and beautiful garden. This accords with Banduras idea that rein forcement can be vicarious whether it is direct or indirect. According to Banduras triadic reciprocal position that includes behavioral, environmental, and personal factors, Myra has the capacity to regulate her life and her behavioral cleanliness has turned into a consistent way of evaluating and regulating her social and cultural environment, seeing that her house is cleaner, tidier and more beautiful than any house in the neighborhood or any of her friends or relatives houses.5. Which of Horneys unavoidably motivate Myra? Which of Horneys neurotic trends does Myra demonstrate? Provide evidence for you answer. In accordance with Horneys psychoanalytical Social Theory, Myra has been influenced by cultural impacts of her society. Modern culture is based on completion (her exaggeration in cleanliness, tidiness and orderliness compared to others) which triggers off introductory hostility (in dealing with her friends and neighbors), which, in return, results in isolation, (her break up with friends and not participating in productive volunteer work), that brings about intensified needs for pith (her feeling of doing everything alone without being helped by anyone and illustrating herself as martyr or victim).Childhood at any stage is considered the source of most problems as a result of traumatic events. During her childhood Myra was physically punished by her parents the thing which generated a feeling of lack of genuine warmth and affection and developed into anxiety and hostility towards others. From her behaviors of exaggerated cleanliness, hostility, saving money, and refraining from participating in productive volunteer work, Myra demonstrates some basic neurotic needs(1) compulsion to restrict her life within narrow borders she does not participate in any productive activities such as volunteer work, and she prefers to spend all her time and energy working on her house and yard. (2) motivation for security and power she economizes on everything and d oes not spend money, which represents a source of power to her. (3) ask to exploit others she breaks up with friends and relatives who do not return her invitations to meals. (4) Need for social recognition or prestige she tries to be the best at cleaning and orderliness and criticizes others as not equal to her.(5) Need for personal admiration she likes people admiring her house cleanliness, her yard and garden tidiness and beauty, and her orderliness. (6) Need for perfection and unassailability she always cleans, tidy and rearrange her house, garden, yard and things so as not to be criticized on the contrary she always criticizes and blames others.
