(in Polish) Psychology of Personality 380-ERA-7JLG
The course presents key theories of personality psychology. An introduction to historical and contemporary approaches is proposed, with a focus on the most important dynamic foundations. The problem of predicting human behaviour in interaction with the environment on the basis of personality theories, in the light of references to mental health, is discussed. In addition, the issue of measurement and multiplicity of personality typologies was taken into account. Throughout the course, students will create various references to the topics taught in classes to better understand constant and variable factors referred to as personality.
No preliminary requirements.
