Birth Order Theory
Alfred Adler's birth order theory does not contain a group for triplets I will use the one for twins. It states that one will typically be stronger or more active and that the stronger one may become the leader. With this being said it is clear that I probably became the leader here as I am the strongest and the most active out of me and my brothers. -
Oral Stage
The Oral stage of Freud's Psycho-sexual stages of personality development has the major development of the mother weaning the child off of breast feeding.

Social Learning
Within Albert Bandura's theory of Social Learning was observational learning where children learned from the people around them such as their parents.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow's hierarchy of needs contains the basic needs that every person needs to have met in order to achieve self actualization. In high school I began to find out who I am and begin to make myself a better person then I used to be. This is because I was able to fill my belongingness and love needs as I found a solid group of friends who were able to support me as well as being happier with my family. -
Big Five Personality Theory

Self Concept
Carl Rogers theory contained Self Concept which is how we think of ourselves. In class we took a self concept survey to show to measure our self clarity. On this survey I score a 35 which is below average for the mean for guys. This may be attributed to my self-esteem and how I see myself.
