What is Humanistic
Psychology?
It emphasizes an optimistic view of human
beings, as persons who have the ability to
grow (human potential)
Though it does not deny the effect of the
environment, it sees human beings as able
to transcend it to some degree
It stresses health and actualization
It is a reaction against a deterministic view
of human beings
Can self-actualization be
measured?
The Personal Orientation Inventory
(Shostrum, 1974) measures selfactualizing characteristics, along with
dimensions like inner-outer orientation,
ability to function in the present etc
A research article using the POI to look at
the relationship between humanism and
religion can be found in the course Bb
library.
