SCP 5220 - Psychology of Personality and Individual Difference

(3 Credits)

The main areas of interest of the field of personality will be covered through this course. Emphasis is given to the holistic theories of personality. However, many of the issues studied by trait psychology and constructs utilized to describe and explain genetic, temperamental, environmental, and behavioral aspects from social psychology and social learning will be addressed. The newer concepts on the neurobiological underpinnings of personality will also be presented and discussed based upon extant research. The course attempts to develop the competencies to apply such theories and constructs to situations in school settings.
