THE CONCEPT OF BUILDING LIFESTYLE Alfred Adlers Theory on Personality Adler stressed a positive view of human nature. He believed that individuals can control their fate. They can do this in part by trying to help others (social interest). How they do this can be understood through analyzing their lifestyle. Early interactions with family members, peers, and teachers help to determine the role of inferiority and superiority in their lives.
Style of life or Lifestyle
A way of seeking to fulfill particular goals that individuals set in their lives. Individuals use their own patterns of beliefs, cognitive styles, and behaviors as a way of expressing their style of life. Often style of life or lifestyle is a means for overcoming feeling of inferiority.
Four areas of lifestyle: 1. The self-concept - the convictions about who I am. 2. The self-ideal - convictions about what I should be. 3. The Weltbild, or picture of the world - convictions about the not-self and what the world demands of me. 4. The ethical convictions - The personal right-wrong code.
