Study Resources for the Personality Unit

As the results from Friday's quiz illustrated, this unit can be a challenging one for students. It's not enough just to know vocabulary, or to have a vague sense of the unit's concepts/research. You'll need to be able to distinguish between different major theoretical approaches to personality and to articulate their advantages and disadvantages.

If that seems daunting, don't forget that we still have one week to go (test on Monday, Feb 29). And, we have a scheduled study session on Sunday, Feb 28 at 5:00 PM.

When I've finished this unit's slides, I'll post them here (still a work in progress). I'll also post any resources we use at the study session (as it approaches). However, especially if the quiz was a rough one for you, it might be a good idea to check out some of these things:

• Your Multiple Choice study guide! (you got this after the quiz)
• Quizlet Flashcards for Personality Unit
• Review this list of the Unit Learning Objectives! Can you do all of these things?
• Here are the Slides we used at tonight's study session. You'll they are organized around this unit's learning objectives, so don't neglect those!
• Study Session Resources: Which One Doesn't Belong? (To check  your answers, click here)
• Study Session Resources: Kahoot - Defense Mechanisms
• Practice FRQ (sort of...a huge one, anyway)
• More practice MC Items on Personality

Trait Theory and Social-Cognitive Perspectives are addressed here:
