Learning outcomes |
The general aim of this course is to develop knowledge about the different conceptualisations of personality and about personality research.
At the end of this course, students should be able to:
- compare and distinguish the main personality theories;
- describe and characterise the central ideas of the personality theories explored;
- differentiate the various methodologies used in personality research, mentioning their strengths and limitations;
- synthesise scientific literature with a view to integrating and applying knowledge;
- develop the ability to communicate (orally and in writing) ideas, problems and solutions, resulting from the activities of analysis, synthesis and reflection carried out individually and in groups.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Theoretical (contact) sessions: presentation of theoretical content.
Theoretical-practical (contact) sessions: carrying out theoretical-practical activities, which may include research, review, and analysis of scientific literature; individual and group analysis of theoretical and theoretical-practical materials; individual and group analysis of practical cases; systematisation and presentation of content.
Continuous assessment will be carried out through two individual tests and theoretical-practical activities.
There will be two individual tests to assess theoretical knowledge.
Eight activities will be carried out in the theoretical-practical sessions, and the 5 best marks will be taken into account when calculating this criterion.
