Document Summary
Individual and group differences (e. g variation in need to belong) Individual uniqueness (e. g unique way of expressing love) Domain of knowledge is a specialty area of science and scholarship, in which psychologists have focused on learning about some specific and limited aspects of human nature. Dispositional domain - deals centrally with the ways in which individuals differ from one another. Biological domain the core assumption is that humans are, first and foremost, collections of biological systems and these systems provide the building blocks for behaviour, thought, and emotion. Intrapsychic domain deals with the mental mechanisms of personality, many of which operate outside of conscious awareness. Cognitive-experiential domain focuses on cognition and subjective experience, such as conscious thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and desires about oneself and others. Social and cultural domain the assumption is that personality is not something that merely resides within the heads, nervous systems, and genes of individuals.
