Document Summary
Our goals for today- finish last class- fft: focus on traits (dispositional domain) *big question: can we predict life outcomes? (whether person will end up happy, successful, etc. ) Predict why people do what they do, what they"re likely to do again. 5: coherence across time: *rank order (stability) and mean level (change, two big concepts in this chapter, consistency despite of the fact that we change, a lot of research evidence- life outcomes (interesting stuff- achievement, impulsivity, etc. Last week"s notes: dynamic processes of fft. Elements of life story can impact parts of personality. *objective biography is personal life story of things that influenced you, but we"re not talking about everything we"re talking about the meaningful events that happened to you: objective biography- one of peripheral components of fft. Not what you would immediately think of when you think of personality.
