Francis Galton
Total personality
Nonstop physical space that has its own special reality
Through the psyche, energy flows continuously in various directions
From consciousness to unconsciousness and back
From inner to outer reality and back
Psychic energy is interchangeable with libido
Libido is a life process
Sexual urges are one aspect of the libido
Libidinal energy that courses through the psyche operate autonomously and unpredictably with various results
Operates according to the principle of opposites
Psychic energy is considered an outcome of the conflict between forces within the personality
Without conflict there is no energy and no life
Libido operates according to the principles of equivalence and entropy
Principle of Equivalence
Principle of Entropy

Biological Trait Theory
Structure-Based Systems Theory
Response = f(Social Context, Personality)
- The behavior response of a person is a function of the situation confronted and the individual’s personality
- An adequate theory of personality must examine and explain the goal-directed motivation of individuals, which goes beyond simple conditioning principles and it involves individual cognitive actively
- Must consider the ways in which the culture and various groups within it influence individuals that are, in turn, influenced by them.
