Subject:

Description:

Personality psychology is concerned with the differences among and between normal people. It asks what are the sources of the consistent behavior patterns that distinguish each of us as individuals, unique from everyone else, and of the common human nature we all share. This course examines six domains or perspectives in personality psychology: dispositional, biological, intrapsychic, cognitive/experiential, social and cultural, and adjustment. Each perspective is examined for the particular focus it provides in explaining individual differences in behavior by examining key theories and representative research. This course is offered in rotation with PSY 304 and PSY 424
