This unit will examine contemporary themes in personality research, including the place of personality research within psychology as a whole, the relationship between culture and personality, and recent evidence from genetic research.

The aim is to provide a critical approach to the material and examine the contributions from various schools of thought within personality (eg, psychodynamic, humanistic and trait approaches).
