PSYC 414 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Extraversion And Introversion
Document Summary
Every person is like all other people, like some other people, and like no one else . As individuals age they become increasingly more themselves . Traits stable, long standing parts of your personality. You can often predict behavior off of traits. State something that shifts moment by moment (temporary trait") Personal action constructs (personal concerns) things on your mind, things that motivate you, things that you are concerned about. Possible selves: things we hope for and things we fear (motivate us and will change over a life span) Life story the part where we all become completely unique. No one has the same life experiences, upbringing, etc . You look back at different parts of your life and you try to make sense of why something happened and the purpose it had in your life.
