| Term: Fall Semester 2021 |
| Description: The aim of personality psychology is to study why people perceive, respond and recover differently from similar situations. When we are facing a particular stressful situation we tend to respond in different ways according to our personality characteristics, independently of the specificity of the situation. Therefore, individual differences play a relevant role that need to be considered when we study behavior in different contexts. The objective of this course is to shed light on the main dimensions associated with individual differences, as well as knowing the models that explain personality from different perspectives (factorial, social, and biological theories). |
