Description:

staff. Prerequisite(s): PSYC 160 and one semester of statistics. Personality theories rest on two traditions of measurement: one focuses on general trends and population averages, the other on particulars of individual cases.

The seminar will contrast the assumptions underlying each tradition, and examine the results obtained with the expesrimental instruments in terms of the inferences--behavioral and theoretical--they permit.
