This course will look at the nature of personality and the fundamental psychological characteristics that contribute to differences in how people think, feel, and behave. Hopefully, the course will lead to a better understanding of ourselves and to a greater understanding and tolerance for individual differences. A number of scales assessing personality traits will be presented. Part one of the course (Fall 2018) will look at the five most important traits (extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, & openness), motives, positive and negative emotionality, differences in emotional experience, values and moral character, and traits that shape how you think.
