Personality psychology

am glad to have had the opportunity to read this paper for two reasons: firstly it is an area of psychology that I am interested in (to be more specific I am interested in the development of relationships and the potential impact personality may have on them). Secondly, it is a really solid research that adds a lot of useful information for future research. To confirm the point of views established by Wilson et al., it has always eluded me that personality was never really intensively studied in regards to friendship satisfaction (even more that there is very little research on establishing friendships in the first place) as it is one of the early developmental phase that occurs in an individual. As an individual develops thorough his lifespan,…

After completing the lectures and learning about the different theorist’s perspectives in Personality Psychology. There are many perspectives and personal assessments to reflect on and different interpretations on why people may act the way they do. Overall, my perspective of others has change because there is a better understanding now of why people act the way they do. Essentially, it could be a factor of a personality disorder. A major part of Rotter theory is the internal locus, where what…

During this stretch application I was able to learn more about my personality type as well as more about understanding other’s personality types. My predominant personality type is extroverted and a thinker. I tend to be very outgoing in situations and I also base my actions more on logic rather than my feelings. Success and determination are the main things that motivate my personality type. I am motivated by the thought of winning and tend to be very competitive in every situation. This is…

What is Personality? What I found the most relevant to me in Chapter 3 was personality. Personality relates to all of us because we all have a personality whether we like the one(s) we have or not. Our book defines personality as "the relatively stable feelings, thoughts, and behavioral patterns a person has." It is important to understand other people 's personalities. They give us clues about how they may behave and feel in different situations. Knowing someone 's personality can help you to…

Try to position your culture and one other culture you know well against the ‘Big Five’.

Personality derives from a variety of perspectives. Yet, that doesn’t mean we all have the same personality, that’s just not the norm. Psychology 313 has suggested to me that my personality is not just what I show people on a daily basis, it’s far more than that. From my own perspective, I would prefer to call myself divergent. I’m not just “different”, I’m one of my own. It’s not uncommon to say that personality derives from your past experiences and life right off the bat. I can personally say…

There are many ways to describe personality and what personality is. Addition to what I read was that everyone has different thinking for example like Lesley might think oh that boy probably likes me. When in reality her friend Samantha was thinking oh no that doesn’t mean that boy likes you because if he did he would be with you. It has to do with your action to how you act to certain things. For example John buys a root beer soda but his friend Tyler has never had root beer soda. Tyler tries a…

Three important personality psychology constructs that have influenced my personality development are the self…
