Personality - Shows how people are different - Different theories = Type. Trait. Factors, Bio.
  1. Studied via :
    1. MOSTLY Nomothetic - Scientific / Quantitative
      1. Questionnaires
        1. Based on Laws of Behaviour and can be generalised to everyone
          1. Used to compare people with one another
          2. STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES
          3. Idiographic - Qualitative / Uniqueness
            1. Case Studies, interviews - reflect uniqueness
          4. Personality IS :
            1. Characteristics of - Behaviour, attitudes, capabilities & interests
              1. Its unique and means different things to different people
                1. Should help predict future behaviour - and put people into brackets
              2. CONSISTENT - Developed over a lifetime
                1. RELATIVELY STABLE
                2. Personally - Helps us make sense of ourselves and others
                  1. Professionally - lets us assess people by groups - schemas or stereotyping- tell if suited to a job
                    1. Ie - always early
                      1. A personality theory should describe STRUCTURE and DYNAMICS of how the behaviour is produced., Explain why they are always early.
                  2. TRAIT THEORIES
                    1. GALTON -1822 - 1911
                      1. Introduced PSYCHOMETRICS = collection of data that describes the range (highest/lowest) and distribution of INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN PERSONALITY
                        1. PSYCHOMETRICS SIMPLIFIED = MEASUREMENT OF PERSONALITY
                      2. Offers Consistency - people are consistent to the world and each other.
                        1. Difference between TRAIT (constant characteristic) and STATE (short lived experience) = eg might be a punctual person but traffic might mean you are late.
                          1. TRAITS remain constant - eg people with a punctuality trait prefer to be early.
                        2. INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES APPROACH
                          1. EG - Reliable - Unreliable or Introvert - Extrovert
                            1. Connects
                          2. TRAITS
                            1. PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTIC THAT MAKES SOMEONE DIFFERENT FROM ANOTHER
                              1. OR ..DESCRIBES INDIVIDUAL'S PERSONALITY
                              2. TRAIT SCORES
                                1. Continuous variable - person gives number score to show how much of a trait that person has
                                2. GREAT MANY TRAITS TO DECRIBE PEOPLE
                                  1. A person can be described on EVERY TRAIT
                                  2. WORDS TO DESCRIBE TRAITS:
                                    1. EXTRAVERSION, INTERVERSION, NEUROTICISM
                                      1. THESE TRAITS CAN ALSO BE CONSIDERED FACTORS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BROAD
                                    2. TYPES OF TRAIT
                                      1. SURFACE TRAITS
                                        1. Traits that SEEM apparent/obvious
                                          1. Eg - Librarian who's friendly - presume Trait =SOCIABLE
                                          2. SURFACE TRAITS based on PEOPLES PERCEPTION of PERSONALITY
