“Adler’s Individual Psychology Theory”

1.       Explain how Adler’s inferiority theory can affect an individual both positively and negatively.

2.       Briefly describe Adler’s three parenting styles. Which is the best approach? Why?

Assignment: Interview at least ten people (you can include yourself) to determine if they fit Adler’s personality classification according to birth order.

Interview questions:

·         Where do you fall in the birth order of your family?

·         Use 3-5 words to describe yourself (ex: motivated, lazy, creative, punctual, etc)

·         How many years are there between you and your siblings?

·         What is your relationship like with your siblings?

·         **if subject is an only child ask what their experience has been like growing up without siblings.

·         If subject is a twin inquire about he personality difference between the two siblings. Does one twin fit in Adler’s classification of the first born/second born?

Please use a chart to organize the data you collect.

Name and Age	Place in birth order	Years between siblings	Words used to describe him/herself	Adler’s belief	Conclusion
Sally Age: 17 years	Middle child	2 years between youngest; 3 years between oldest	Overachiever Type A Leader Bossy	Independent, sometimes feel forgotten. Good social skills	In this circumstance it appears that Adler’s theory does not apply
