| Personality is a unique pattern of consistent feelings, thoughts,
and behaviors that originate within the individual. Because personality
is unique to an individual, controlled experiments cannot be used
to study it; thus cause and effect can not be established. This chapter
examines theories and approaches of personality that are biological,
psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive, trait, and behaviorist; and
techniques psychologists use to measure personality. |
