Theories of Personality: Advanced ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course will examine the field’s major theories (such as trait, biological, psychoanalytic, humanistic, cross-cultural, and cognitive learning) for understanding personality. Personality structure, development, and dynamics will be explored from multiple perspectives. The study will cover what makes people similar and different from each other and how and why people think, feel, and act the way they do. Please note: Students should not enroll in this course and the introductory level of the same course title as there is significant redundancy in the content of courses. While it is not required, it might be helpful if students have taken Introduction to Psychology or an equivalent course.
