THEORY OF NEED AFFILIATION: Mcleiland (1958)
The need for affiliation
by David Mccelland (1958) he says. Describes a person’s need to feel a
sense of involvement and “belonging†within a social group; according to
Murray (1938), people with a high need for affiliation require warm
interpersonal relationships and approval from those with whom they have
regular contact. People who place high emphasis on affiliation tend to
be supportive team members, but may be less effective in leadership
positions.
A research done by Schactee (1959) shows that fear that
comes form anxiety increases the need for the person to affiliate with
others who are going thorough the same situation or that could help them
through the stressful event. Individuals are motivated to find and
create a specific amount of social interactions. Each individuals
desires a different amount of a need for affiliation and they desire an
optimal balance of time to their self and time spent with others. This
particular need concerns the desire to be associated with specific
people and groups, to have a greater sense of belonging and place. It
can play a role in a variety of human interactions and in the formation
of bonds and friendships.
Theory of social interaction: Hannah Humphrey
Social
interaction theory studies the ways that people engage with one
another. Scholars from many disciplines including anthropology,
sociology, psychology, and linguistic are interested in social
interaction and the patterns that can be found in such interactions.
According to Max Weber, social behaviour has two components. The first
is the action or the behaviour itself. The second is the meaning that
the ctor attaches to is or her behaviour. That meaning Weber refereed to
as orientation, is how a person perceives his behaviour in relationship
to other people. It is that knowledge of another who is affected that
makes an action or interaction social.
Another early contribution to
social interaction theory was Geiman- American Kurt Lewin, who developed
the concept of group dynamics. Lewin was concerned with the interaction
not just between individuals but between individuals and the groups
that they belong to. The main contribution of group dynamics to later
theories is that human behaviour results from the interaction between a
person and his or her environment. Lewing wrote this theory as a
mathematical equation, making behaviour equal to the function of
individuals and the environment.
Theories of personality
CARL JUNGS THEORY OF INTROVERSION AND EXTROVERSION (1933)
Carl
Jung (1933). According to his theory I am introvert is s person whose
interest is generally directed inward toward his own feelings and
thoughts, in constant to an extravert, who attention is directed towards
other people and the outside world. Conversely, Jung explains that a
person who is predominantly introverted tends to orient toward the
internal or subjective world, while extroversion refers to an outgoing,
social, accommodating nature that adapts easily to a given situation,
quickly make friends and often venture forth with careless confidence
into an unknown situation. He viewed introversion as signifying a
hesitating reflective, retering nature that keeps to itself, shrinks
from objects, always slightly in the defensive and prefer to hide behind
mistrustful scrutingy. (Jung, 1964). Jung explained that although a
person may be extraverted at time and introverted at some other times,
he cannot be both introverted and extraverted on the same occasion.
Eysenck: Introversion-Extraversion (1967)
Eysenck
(1967) formulated a theory, which emphasizes introversion-Extraversion
in terms of observed behaviour tendencies and presumed underlying
neurological states. At the behaviour level, the typical extrover6t is
sociable, needs to have people to talk to and does not like reading or
studying by himself (Eysenck and Eysenck, 1968).
