Sociologist to Speak Tuesday On Human Personality Theory
You have changed, you are changing, you will change.
This is the essence of a controversial theory of human personality to be discussed by Oscar Eggers, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Missouri in Kansas City.
Eggers will address a meeting of Alpha Kappa Delta, national sociology honor society, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Kansas University.
The theory, known as the radical symbolic interaction theory, is based on the writings of the late George Herbert Mead, a psychologist and philosopher at the University of Chicago.
This theory is based on two underlying theories: (1) Man emerges through social interaction or his relations with other people. Thus, this theory says, man becomes "human" through this process. Through this interaction man answers the question of identity ("Who are I?" and "Who are you?") and relationships in society; and (2) the character of this interaction stems from the use of symbols—mainly language.
The term radical comes from the emphasis placed on names and terms. The sociologist is interested in what names man applies to himself, other people, and situations that surround him.
