behavior, inculcated with the psychological
mechanisms that are hidden or not behinds

Psychoanalysis is defined as a method

therapeutic process.( as cited in Engler,2003).
The central concept of psychoanalytic
theories is unconsciousness. According to

unconscious are the determine force that
influence people decision in their daily life.
As a results, the unconscious force mould

perspective people personality are predetermined by the unconscious force.
The unconscious force theory by Freud
is similar with Ibn al-Qayyim perspectives
on the influence of unconsciousness towards
people behaviour. In Ibn al-Qayyim book
Al-Fawaid,( as cited in Badri,2000), he
said that every actions that be done by
people are start from waswasah (concealed

The Self
The
fundamental
component
of
Rogers
approach is his concept of
the self or the self-concept.
Rogers self-concept is
defined as a collection of
beliefs about ones own
Carl Roger
nature, unique qualities
and typical behaviour. On the other words,
it is a collection of ones self-perception or a
mental picture of oneself (W.Weiten, 2008)
It may include beliefs such as Im
talkative or Im religious. The notion of
the awareness on ones self concept indicates
that the beliefs are at the state of conscious.
It is not suppressed in the unconscious.
Nevertheless, people might perform false
belief toward themselves compared to the
actual experience that they had. This gap
between self-concept and the reality is called
incongruence (Lahey, 2012). In contrast, if
a person managed to reason the self-concept
accurately, therefore it is considered to be
congruent with reality (Lahey, 2012)..

Abraham
Maslow
proposed that human
motives are categorized
into a hierarchy of needs.
This hierarchy of needs is
defined as a systematic
Abraham
Maslow
arrangement of needs,
according to priority, in which basic needs
must be met before less basic needs aroused
(W.Weiten, 2008).
The highest level of this hierarchy of
needs is the need for self-actualization,
which is the need to fulfil ones best
potential. Maslow described this need with
a simple statement; What a man can be, he
must be. (W.Weiten, 2008) Additionally,
according to Maslow, people who attain this
highest need is considered to achieve an
exceptional healthy personality which is an
ideal psychological health.

Like
Allport,
Cattell
adopted traits as the
fundamental conceptual of
understanding personality.
However, Cattell revised
all the traits proposed by
Allport, by eliminating
the uncommon traits and
Raymond
Cattell
combining the traits with
common characteristics. (Pervin & John,
1999). From 4 000 number of traits, Cattell
managed to reduce the traits to 171 traits
only. Later, through factor analysis study, he
then reduced his list to just 16-keypersonality-trait, based on his large number
of samples, which is now commonly known
as Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire
(16PF). 16PF nowadays has been widely
used as one of the prominent personality
assessments in the field of psychometric
which comprises of 35 different traits (Cox,
2012, p.26).
