PSYC300 Theories of Personality

10 cp
Prerequisites PSYC202 Social Psychology
Teaching Organisation 3 hours per week of lectures and tutorials, 2 hours per week in laboratory.

Personality psychology seeks to understand enduring and individual tendencies displayed by people in their patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours over time and across situations. In other words, this unit has been developed to explore the nature and question of personality. It will consider the many facets, individual differences, behavioural dimensions, and traits that constitute a personality style by focusing on the major theories of personality and the orientation of its theorists. The statistics component of this unit will include an extension of inferential testing to factorial models. There will also be a laboratory program, which will focus on selected theoretical issues from the unit content.
