ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses two further aspects of the influences of learning upon the individual: first, the place of internal activities, and second, some features of the important psychological processes associated with social interaction. Since personality must be considered in its relations with other personalities, there are certain, more or less universally acquired forms of behavior which have a special bearing on social’ interaction. The contributions of P. Janet, M. Prince, S. Freud, and others have been important in indicating the place of unconscious motivations and unconscious processes in behavior cycles. But it was Freud particularly who, in dealing largely with mild sorts of mental disturbance, made aware of the large number of our motives and mental patterns which lie hidden under the surface. Identification, sympathy, and co-operation are fundamental to the personal sense of security, the sense of group solidarity, and the maintenance generally of cohesion of members.
