We all think we can describe our own personality – but how do psychologists define and measure personality? This course introduces you to seven different theoretical approaches to the study of personality, including (1) psychoanalytic, (2) Neo-Freudian, (3) trait, (4) biological, (5) behavioral/social learning, (6) cognitive, and (7) humanistic perspectives. It ends with a brief discussion of personality controversies in the field.
