This course is an introduction to the study and science of personality psychology-consistencies in qualities, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that characterize a person’s individuality. We will explore the diversity of modern theories of human personality, the empirical research they consider, and the procedures they use for systematically gaining information about the personality of individuals. Course topics include: personality development; biological and situational influences on personality; traits and motives; identity and the self; and personality through the lens of gender and culture.
