One sub-set of psychology is the study of Personality. Please read chapter 1 of the textbook and this short article (Links to an external site.) to introduce the concept of personality. People have been interested in the topic of Personality for many, many years. Many of us are interested in knowing more about ourselves and others. Personality scholar, Richard M. Ryckman (2013. p. 5), notes that “we seek to generate explanations for the actions we observe [in ourselves and others] to understand why individuals behave as they do. Being able to understand the behavior of people not only satisfies our curiosity, but also gives us a greater sense of control over our lives and make the world more predictable and less threatening.”
Some sing (Links to an external site.)about the topic of personality and some incorporate the concept of personality into their personal and professional lives. What draws you to the topic of personality may be similar or quite different than what attracted me to this branch of psychology. I work in the field of industrial/organizational psychology (Links to an external site.)and am interested in how personality relates to the workplace.
Moreover, there are numerous scholars in the field of personality, — many of whom we will discuss over the next few weeks. You will have plenty of opportunities to investigate the research and views of these scholars through our readings and discussions. As part of this learning process, you will also have many opportunities to learn how to research the topic of personality, identify and examine peer-reviewed articles (Links to an external site.) on the topic, recognize and apply sound research and data analysis (Links to an external site.) to scholarly work on personality, and write (Links to an external site.) about these various points, as well. Please make sure to read chapter 2 of the textbook which introduces the topic of personality research methods.
