Personality Psychology
  • Personality psychology is a growing area of study
    which allows us to understand more about
    ourselves and other people.

What is personality psychology?
  • Personality psychology involves the study of the
    human mind (or brain), using scientifically-based
    methods or techniques. It focuses on how
    individual differences in the human mind,
    thoughts, feelings affect human behavior.

But what does personality actually mean?
  • The word personality comes from the Latin word
    Persona which in translation stands for mask.
    Many people have a sense of what personality is
    but are unsure of how to define it. Psychologists
    have been trying to figure out how to define it
    since Freud introduced his famous model of
    personality which divided the human mind into
    three components .
  • Personality and human behavior were studied and
    debated for centuries. For some that adopt a
    deterministic position, behavior is
    predetermined, beyond their control. For others,
    behavior is always a conscious decision guided by
    Free-will.

    change very little over time if the same
    environment is maintained.
  • Change in personality is possible, depending on
    how drastic will the new changes be, personality
    will reflect that For example A different
    environment, a new set of skills, a change in
    habits(repetitive behavior)
  • Personality influences our behavior, affecting
    the choices we make, the actions we take, and the
    feelings we experience every day.

    using trait theory. It is by far the most widely
    accepted and widely used model of the human
    personality, used by psychologists around the
    world.

    behavior. In fact, psychologists can use peoples
    scores on each trait to predict their behavior or
    beliefs with a very high degree of reliability.

    student completing one lesson each day. Each
