When defining "public opinion", this would mean when you're asking to public of what they think personally. You are asking of their opinion of this specific matter. You want what they have to say, and why they would think this.

An example would be the following sentence:

Let's suppose that you would want to settle rights about slavery. You are debating whether you just continue this act, or to out it down. One thing that you could do personally is to ask the "public's opinion" about this matter, whether it would be "ok" to continue slavery, and why it would not.

This example right above would be an example of what the words "pubic opinion" would signify. 

I hope this was found helpful, Have a great day!

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Freud initiated the debate on the unconscious mind and forces shaping motivation and behavior. Eros and Thanatos egage in conflict shaping personality.

Skinner contributed to Behavioral Theory of personality

Skinner draws on the theory of the time, to find that learning and personality development is mostly influenced by the environment and the positive and negative interactions as a source of reinforcement.

For Skinner what happens in this negative or positive interactions is crucial to someone gaining self-confidence or developing misbehavior.

Freud would rather focus on the process lying in the past, to see how personality formed as a patient first came in contact with the mother.

The psychoanalysis view became mainstream for interpreting conflicts in adults who are unable to recognize or remember experiences deeply rooted in their minds and that still  have effects for their mental health

According to Freud the human mind: the id, ego, and superego formed as series of childhood stages in which the pleasure- drive and the destructive drive oppose.       

According to the principles of classical and operant conditioning, the environment then determines behavior, Skinner would argue.

People have developed certain patterns since they have shaped response tendencies over repeated stimulus.

Skinner view on personality can apply to learning settings, like classrooms where young adolescents are encouraged positive and unwanted behaviors .
