Subject Description

This subject comprises two units.

Personality provides an introduction to theory and research in personality, with particular reference to structural approaches, assessment of personality, and biological basis of personality.

Social psychology extends the basic understanding gained in the introductory subject to more specific areas in social psychology, and covers an intermediate level of theoretical and empirical work in individual, interpersonal, and group processes. Topics may include attitudes and social cognition, self and identity, and group dynamics.

Assessment

Laboratory reports of no more than 2000 words (40%) and an examination of no more than 2 hours (60%).

Attendance at 80% or more of the laboratory classes is a hurdle requirement. (In case of failure to meet the hurdle requirement, additional work will be required before a passing grade can be awarded.)
