IMPORTANT CHANGE
The class will be held as a block seminar, with three introductory dates (Oct 27th, Nov 03rd, Nov 10th) and one weekend Sat/Sun, November 28th/29th, 9 am to 6 pm.
In this course, we will focus on theories and concepts of personality, covering specific personality domains and self-conceptions (e.g. BIG 5) and their development from childhood until very old age. We will learn about basic conceptions of consistency and change in personality, and focus on specific trajectories during the life course. Students will familiarize themselves with the study of personality development from a life span perspective, read and discuss scientific articles and deepen their knowledge on the methods that are employed in this area.
Course language will be English; in case that there will be only German speaking students in attendance of the class, it will be switched to German.
The class is recommended for students in their third B.Sc. Psychology semester.
Literature will be announced in class. If possible, both German and English literature will be provided.
