PSYC 2300 Psychology of Personality
What makes us who we are as individuals? To gain insight into this question, personality psychologists seek to accurately describe and explain stable differences in how people think, feel, and act. We explore questions related to how to accurately assess personality, the biology of personality, the dynamics of the unconscious mind, the impact of basic human needs, and how aspects of the person and aspects of the situation both determine behavior. By engaging with classic theories, modern research, reflective discussions, and practical applications, students not only gain insight into the complexities of personality, but also develop a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
