Psicologia della personalità: un'introduzione
About this Course
La psicologia della personalità cerca di spiegare il perché dell'azione umana, e come le persone mantengono una coerenza e costanza nel modo di agire. Questo corso indaga i principali temi teorici e agli aspetti metodologici della psicologia della personalità, come si sviluppa, il ruolo dei processi cognitivi, cioè dei meccanismi coinvolti nell'acquisizione e nell'elaborazione delle informazioni, nella costruzione della personalità di ognuno di noi. Infine verrà dato spazio alla recente teoria dell'Orientamento Positivo, evidenziandone le potenzialità e l’importanza anche nell’ottica dell’integrazione delle diverse prospettive di ricerca nella psicologia della personalità. Personality Psychology aims to explain the way humans act and how individual behaviour remains consistent and coherent. The course explores the main theories and methods in the field of personality psychology, how it developed, and the role of cognitive processes i.e. the mechanisms involved in the acquisition and elaboration of information, in the construction of our individual personalities. Space will also be given to the recent Positive Orientation theory, highlighting its importance and potential as an integral part of research perspectives in personality psychology.Created by: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
