Intro to Personality Psychology

~~~~~`Chapter 1: Introduction to Personality Theory and Development~~~~~~~~

_{So what is personality}?

To understand this concept, you first need to understand

 the difference between a trait and a state…

A trait is a relatively permanent individual characteristic.  For example, most of know people who are outgoing, friendly, confident, or shy.  When we describe these people, we use these traits to better understand their personality; to better understand who they are. 

A state, on the other hand, is a temporary change in one's personality.  Examples of states might be angry, depressed, fearful, or anxious.  We typically use states to describe a person's reaction to something.

Here Are some facts I found out…………………….

Ø  Personality is one of the most theorized aspects of Psychology researched.

Ø  To Understand the difference between trait and state you need to think about how a person is and then take note of how they may change; temporarily.

Ø  Traits are characteristics of an individual that makes them standout or unique.

 Why is it important to research and theorize about personality?

Ø  To understand the characteristics of a person’s behavior to observe future patterns; in hopes to change or control the outcome.

Ø   To understand certain aspects of a person’s lifestyle that is causing negative impacts, in hopes to make a positive impact.

 As you can see, the ultimate goal of psychology is to improve the quality of life through a better understanding of individual differences and similarities.  Personality is concerned a great deal with all five of these goals, but we will spend the majority of the text discussing the first three.  In other words, personality theory is concerned with observing individual characteristics, understanding how these different characteristics came about, and finally, how they are impacting the individual’s quality of life

Why Study Personality?

If we know a person is confident, or outgoing, or friendly, what do we need to study?  Why is it important to research and theorize about personality?\To answer these questions, you need to understand a little about the field of psychology in general.  Psychology is the study of thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and their interaction with each other and the world.  There are five basic goals of psychology:

Ø  Describe – The first goal is to observe behavior and describe, often in minute detail, what was observed as objectively as possible

Ø  2. Explain – While descriptions come from observable data, psychologists must go beyond what is obvious and explain their observations. In other words, why did the subject do what he or she did?

Ø  3. Predict – Once we know what happens, and why it happens, we can begin to speculate what will happen in the future. There’s an old saying, which very often holds true: "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior."

Ø  4. Control – Once we know what happens, why it happens and what is likely to happen in the future, we can excerpt control over it. In other words, if we know you choose abusive partners because your father was abusive, we can assume you will choose another abusive partner, and can therefore intervene to change this negative behavior.

5. Improve – Not only do psychologists attempt to control behavior, they want to do so in a positive manner, they want to improve a person’s life, not make it worse. This is not always the case, but it should always be the intention. ~*Cit.  Dr. Christopher L. Heffner

The Online Tests at AllPsych are divided into three categories: Psychology Academic tests are taken directly from the material on this website and are designed to test your knowledge and understanding of psychological principles and theory.   Diagnostic Screening tests were developed to help you better understand your own mental health based on general categories of psychopathology and mental illness.  Please remember, these quizzes can not replace a true diagnostic assessment by a licensed mental health professional. Finally, the Self-Help quizzes were designed to give you a better understanding of your relationships, communication, stress level, etc.  These quizzes provide both a score and an interpretation, but please use them as a guide only.
