•   Basic view of human nature (psychoanalytic: basically bad; behavioral: neutral/neither good nor bad; humanistic: basically good).
•   Basic view of culture/society (psychoanalytic: basically good; behavioral: neutral/neither good nor bad; humanistic: basically bad/controlling and stifling).
•   Important factor in personality development (psychoanalytic: early experiences and unconscious motivational conflict; behavioral: experiences with external contingencies and modeling; humanistic: the self and opportunity to have congruency in personality).
•   Differing levels of research support (behavioral perspective has the firmest grounding of the three; many concerns about the falsifiability of key ideas with psychoanalytic and humanistic perspectives).
