| what's meant by epigenetic principles maturation | inherited forces are the determining characteristics of the developmental stages |
| Trust vs. Mistrust | birth-1; infant totally dependent on the mother or primary caregiver, interaction with the mother determines an attitude of trust or mistrust for future dealings with the life will be incorporated into his or her personality; trust can be lost later |

| Maldevelopment | A condition that occurs when the ego consists solely of a single way of coping with conflict |
| Maladaptive | only the positive, adaptive, tendency is present in the ego; leads to neuroses |
| Malignant | only the negative tendency is present; leads to psychoses |
| Questions about Human Nature | Allport’s view of functional autonomy and personality development holds that emotionally healthy adults are not tied to or driven by childhood conflicts. |
| Allport’s personality trait characteristics | Traits are real and exist within each of us Cause or determine behavior Demonstrated empirically They are interrelated They can vary with the situation |
| Free will vs. determinism | allport granted free choice in our deliberations about our future, but he also recognized that some behaviors are determined by traits and personal dispositions. Ones these behaviors are formed, they’re difficult to change. |

| Emotional Correlates | Well-being: higher on E, lower on N, High A and C (think about how A & C impact your social life) Extraversion- likable, positive emotions |
| Behavior Correlates | Conscientiousness: better grades & more responsible; increased health; low score leads to use of alcohol & illegal drugs Agreeableness: fewer problems Openness: various intellectual interests; seeks challenges Neuroticism: greater longevity |
