Theories of Personality (Psych 223) provides students an introduction to psychological

concepts and theoretical perspectives on personality formation and dynamics. Hence,
the subject will allow the learners to apply and understand major facts of personality
theory in understanding human behavior. The subject serves as a foundation providing
the students important knowledge relevant to the aspects of effective and ethical
professional practice as a Psychometrician and a Psychologist.

A survey of the major theories of personality and the theoretical and practical issues
involved in the scientific study and understanding of personality formation and
dynamics. This course will familiarize students with a variety of personality theories,
their history, and applications. We will consider theories that address personality
development and implications for normal and abnormal development. It will seek to
address the question, “what makes a person behave the way they do?” Knowledge on
these can then be used to describe, explain, and predict human behavior and
mental processes.
