- Inhalt
- Traditionally, research in Personality Psychology has primarily
focused on individual differences primarily but has hardly taken the
social context into account in which individuals live, behave, and
perceive. Similarly, research in Social Psychology has largely
ignored individual differences when explaining or predicting
psychological phenomena. However, recent research has convincingly
shown that there is a connection between personality and social
relationships, e.g., personality influences interpersonal perceptions
or behavior in social relationships and vice versa, i.e., the social
context determines personality.
In the current course, we are going to read and discuss recent
theoretical papers as well as exciting empirical studies on the
relation between personality and social relationships (e.g., zero
acquaintance, romantic relationships, friendships). In the first half
of the semester, every participant needs to prepare each session by
reading the article in question. During the sessions, the texts are
discussed and sessions are moderated by participants. In the second
half of the semester, we are going to develop our own research ideas
by integrating and discussing the concepts covered. After having laid
out a design for an empirical study, participants will conduct the
study, analyze and interpret the results, and discuss them in class.
The texts in class are in English as is the language of discussion.
The rationale behind is that participants get used to English texts
(which is the prime language of psychological publications) and to
improve their English while speaking. However, it is very important
to realize that nobody should be afraid of speaking bad English
because a) the teacher is no native speaker and needs to practice her
English as well, and b) one intention of the class is to improve
one s English and thus, teasing or laughing is not acceptable.
