PSY580.1 : Personality and Differential Psychology (at City University London)
Description:
One of the primary aims of the course will be to introduce students to the complex multidisciplinary issues involved in the diagnosis, treatment and understanding of mental illness and to help them appreciate how explanations posed at different levels of functioning (i.e. behaviour, cognition and neural functioning) are not mutually exclusive. The second part of the course will
familiarise students with the concepts and background of differential psychology. The course will start by focusing on historical perspectives and theories of the assessment of intelligence, personality and cognition. We will then move on to look at various tests and how these are devised and evaluated.
