 Good day!

Social Science is a branch of science devoted to the study of

societies and relationships among individuals within societies.
Major social science ideas have emerged since the establishment
of studies on society and the life of people. These ideas contribute
to the development of society. It is not only for the society itself
but also for the development of the physical, emotional,
intellectual, and psychological aspects of a person. Social science
ideas, in one way or another, may contribute to the healing
process of a particular disorder of a person.

As a student and future advocate of change, it is advantageous that you

possess relevant knowledge to understand social phenomena and discern among
alternatives.
In this module, you will learn about the two major social science ideas-
the Psychoanalysis and Rational Choice. There is a set of activities for you to attain
the objectives of this module.

MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY:

Analyze the basic concepts and principles of the major social science
ideas:

a. Psychoanalysis
b. Rational Choice
At the end of the module, you should be able to:
1. Discuss the basic concepts and principles of the Psychoanalysis
and Rational choice through a concept map;
2. Distinguish carefully the significance of the Psychoanalysis and
Rational choice as major social science idea; and
3. Write an essay on how the basic concepts and principles of the
major social science ideas (Psychoanalysis and Rational Choice)
contributed to the development of an individual as a human
person.

Lesson 1: Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is defined as a set
of psychological theories and therapeutic methods that
have their origin in the work and theories of Sigmund
Freud. The primary assumption of psychoanalysis is the
belief that all people possess unconscious thoughts,
feelings, desires, and memories.
Psychoanalysis therapy aims to release repressed
emotions and experiences, i.e., make the unconscious
conscious. It is only having a cathartic (i.e., healing)
experience can the person be helped and "cured."
Remember, psychoanalysis is a therapy as well as a theory.
Psychoanalysis is commonly used to treat depression and

anxiety disorders. https://www.pikist.com/free-
photo-vxmsh Downloaded:
In psychoanalysis (therapy), Freud would have a 7/31/2020 7:50 pm

patient lie on a couch to relax, and he would sit behind

them taking notes while they told him about their dreams and childhood
memories. Psychoanalysis would be a lengthy process, involving many sessions with
the psychoanalyst. Due to the nature of defense mechanisms and the inaccessibility

5
of the deterministic forces operating in the unconscious, psychoanalysis in its classic
form is a lengthy process often involving 2 to 5 sessions per week for several years.

This approach assumes that the reduction of

symptoms alone is relatively inconsequential as if
the underlying conflict is not resolved, more neurotic
symptoms will simply be substituted. The analyst
serves as a 'blank screen,' disclosing very little about
themselves so that the client can use the space in
the relationship to work on their unconscious without
Sigmund Freud Couch interference from outside.

sis Downloaded: 7/31/2020 7:45 pm The psychoanalyst uses various techniques as
encouragement for the client to develop insights into
their behavior and the meanings of symptoms, including ink blots, parapraxes, free
association, interpretation (including dream analysis), resistance analysis, and
transference analysis.

Freud’s Structure of Personality

According to Freud, our personality develops

from the interactions among what he proposed as
the three fundamental structures of the human mind:
the id, ego, and superego. Conflicts among these
three structures, and our efforts to find balance
among what each of them “desires,” determines how
we behave and approach the world. What balance
we strike in any given situation determines how we
will resolve the conflict between two overarching
behavioral tendencies: our biological aggressive and
pleasure-seeking drives vs. our socialized internal
control over those drives.
Ego, Superego and Id
The Id https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Ego,
_Superego_and_Id Downloaded:
8/30/2020 11:50 pm
The id, the most primitive of the three
structures, is concerned with the instant satisfaction of basic physical needs and
urges. It operates entirely unconsciously (outside of conscious thought). For example,
if your id walked past a stranger eating ice cream, it would most likely take the ice
cream for itself. It doesn’t know, or care, that it is rude to take something belonging to
someone else; it would care only that you wanted the ice cream.

The Superego

6
 The superego is concerned with social rules and morals—like what many
people call their” conscience” or their “moral compass.” It develops as a child learns
what their culture considers right and wrong. If your superego walked past the same
stranger, it would not take their ice cream because it would know that that would be
rude. However, if both your id and your superego were involved, and your id was
strong enough to override your superego’s concern, you would still take the ice cream,
but afterward you would most likely feel guilt and shame over your actions.

The Ego

In contrast to the instinctual id and the moral superego, the ego is the rational,
pragmatic part of our personality. It is less primitive than the id and is partly conscious
and partly unconscious. It’s what Freud considered to be the “self,” and its job is to
balance the demands of the id and superego in the practical context of reality. So, if
you walked past the stranger with ice cream one more time, your ego would mediate
the conflict between your id (“I want that ice cream right now”) and superego (“It’s
wrong to take someone else’s ice cream”) and decide to go buy your ice cream. While
this may mean you have to wait 10 more minutes, which would frustrate your id, your
ego decides to make that sacrifice as part of the compromise– satisfying your desire
for ice cream while also avoiding an unpleasant social situation and potential feelings
of shame.

Freud believed that the id, ego, and superego are in constant conflict and that
adult personality and behavior are rooted in the results of these internal struggles
throughout childhood. He believed that a person who has a strong ego has a healthy
personality and that imbalances in this system can lead to neurosis (what we now think
of as anxiety and depression) and unhealthy behaviors.

Defense Mechanism

Most notably used by Sigmund Freud in his psychoanalytic theory, a defense

mechanism is a tactic developed by the ego to protect against anxiety. Defense
mechanisms are thought to safeguard the mind against feelings and thoughts that are
too difficult for the conscious mind to cope with. In some instances, defense
mechanisms are thought to keep inappropriate or unwanted thoughts and impulses
from entering the conscious mind.

Types of Defense Mechanism

1. Rationalization - justification of an unacceptable behavior

2. Intellectualization - reasoning to block emotional distress
3. Reaction formation - changing unwanted emotions or feelings
4. Acting Out – carrying out extreme behavior
5. Projection – transferring the drive or behavior that causes anxiety to others
6. Dissociation – separating of the memories one can’t deal with or doesn’t want

7
 7. Compartmentalization – separating part of oneself from awareness of other
parts
8. Displacement – transferring of negative emotion from one person or thing
9. Regression – seeking the safety of an earlier development stage
10. Sublimation – diverting intolerable impulse to a socially desirable one
11. Compensation – balancing apparent weakness by accentuating the strength
12. Repression – unconscious forgetting of unwanted thought or trauma
13. Suppression – conscious type of forgetting to escape from the problem
14. Splitting – seeing everything as bad with nothing in between
15. Using Humor – directing on funny aspects of a painful situation

Lesson 2: Rational Choice

Rational choice theory, also known as choice theory or rational action
theory, is a framework for understanding and often formally modeling social and
economic behavior. The basic premise of rational choice theory is that aggregate
social behavior results from the behavior of individual actors, each of whom is making
their individual decisions. The theory also focuses on the determinants of individual
choices (methodological individualism). The
rational choice theory then assumes that an
individual has preferences among the available
choice alternatives that allow them to state which
option they prefer. The rational choice fundamental
assumption is that individual action is based on
their conduct on the logical process.

The premise of rational choice theory as a Difficult Choice

social science methodology is that the aggregate https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Diffic
ult_choice._(6869126236).jpg
behavior in society reflects the sum of the choices
made by individuals. Everyone, in turn, makes their
choice based on their preferences and the
constraints (or choice set) they face.

At the individual level, rational choice theory stipulates that the agent chooses
the action (or outcome) they most prefer. In the case where actions (or outcomes) can
be evaluated in terms of costs and benefits, a rational individual chooses the action

8
(or outcome) that provides the maximum net benefit, i.e., the maximum benefit minus
cost.

The theory applies to more general settings

than those identified by costs and benefits. In
general, rational decision-making entails choosing
among all available alternatives the alternative
that the individual most prefer. The "alternatives"
can be a set of actions ("what to do?") or a set of
objects ("what to choose/buy?"). In the case of
Choice Decision Alternative actions, what the individual cares about are the
Free Photo outcomes that result from each possible action.
https://www.needpix.com/photo/1838979/cho
ice-decision-alternative-strategy-opportunity- Actions, in this case, are only an instrument for
choose-choices obtaining an outcome.

Rational Choice Theory and Exchange Theory

It has long been assumed that people are motivated by money. Then some
sociologists theorized that people were motivated by is what is best for them in all their
actions and that their actions were shaped by their desire for more, rather than less,
of something good. This led to the development of rational choice theory.

The main assumption behind the rational choice theory is the idea that
everything people do is fundamentally rational. Rationality here means that a person
is acting as if they were weighing the cost and benefits of possible actions so that they
can maximize their gain.

Rationality is a property of a series, or pattern of choice, not an individual

choice. So basically, people act in self-interest. They are driven by personal desires
and motivated by personal goals. They calculated the costs and benefits of every
action and choose the one with the best outcome for themselves. And how do we
calculate the value of these actions? How do we know which anticipated outcomes will
benefit us the most?

Well, we look at the social resource being exchanged. Like time, information,
approval, and prestige to determine the value of possible action. Through the
individual rational actions if people, the rational choice theory assumes that you can
explain a complex phenomenon like social change and social institutions.

Let’s look at the three assumptions underlying rational choice theory.

1. First is the assumption of completeness, which means that every action

can be ranked. If three possible actions can take, completeness means
that none of the options have equal value. A is preferable to B and B is
preferable to C. And that C is not then preferable to A because that would
be circular and irrational according to our definition. This leads to the
second assumption.

9
 2. The second assumption is transitivity. This means that if we look at those
three options since A is preferable to B is preferable to C, then A is also
preferable to C. It’s like in math. A is greater than B is greater than C,
therefore, A is greater than C.
3. The last assumption is called the independence of irrelevant
alternatives. That’s just a big fancy way of saying that if we suddenly
have a fourth option, X, that it won’t change the order of how it ranked in
the first three options.
We already have A is better than B is better than C. If X is better than C
but worse than B, B isn’t suddenly going to be preferable to A. A is still
the best option.

These three assumptions result in a consistent, rankable set of possible

actions. All right so now that we have an idea of rational choice theory, let’s look at the
exchange theory.

Exchange Theory is an application of rational choice theory to social

interactions. It looks at society as a series of interactions between individuals. And is
often used to study family relationships, work relationships, partner selection,
parenting, many other interpersonal interactions.

These interactions are determined by weighing the rewards and punishments

of every interaction. If the interaction results in approval, it is more likely to be repeated.
Because social approval is a reward. But are the interaction results in a punishment,
like social disapproval, it is less likely to be repeated. This may seem obvious to you,
that, you’ll do something to get a reward, while you’ll avoid something that will wind up
in punishment.

But this is the basic principle behind the exchange theory. That the behavior of
an individual in an interaction can be figured out by comparing the rewards and the
punishments. Rewards can be social approval, recognition, money, gifts, or positive
gestures, like a smile. While punishments consist of social disapproval, humiliation, or
negative gestures, like a frown.

There are quite a few assumptions that exchange theory depends on.

1. People seek to rationally maximize their profits. Which means they seek
rewards and avoid punishments.
2. Assumed that interactions operate within the social norms. Assumes that
people have access to the information they need to make rational
choices.
3. Assumed that most human fulfillment comes from other people.
