 HUMANISTIC
 The humanistic perspective on personality deals
exclusively with human behavior. Humanistic
psychologists believe that human nature includes a
natural drive towards personal growth, that humans
have the freedom to choose what they do regardless
of environmental factors, and humans are mostly
conscious beings and are not controlled by
unconscious needs and conflicts. They also believe
that a person's subjective view of the world is more
important than objective reality. Two of the
humanistic theorists that have made an impact of
humanism are Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow.
 SOCIAL LEARNING
People learn through observing others’ behavior,
attitudes, and outcomes of those behaviors. “Most
human behavior is learned observationally through
modeling: from observing others, one forms an
idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on
later occasions this coded information serves as a
guide for action.”. Social learning theory explains
human behavior in terms of continuous reciprocal
interaction between cognitive, behavioral, and
environmental influences.
