PSYB30H3 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Institutional Review Board, Lexical Analysis, Carl Jung
Document Summary
Early personality psychologists mused that there are aspects of personality universal to all people, shared by similar people, and completely unique to individuals. There is a universal desire for actualization (be who we are meant to be) Though we share same mechanisms, characteristics and experiences, the way the building blocks form together makes each of us unique. Personality psychology: the scientific study of what makes us who we are (identifying similarity and differences and explains how they are that way) The individual is more than a sum of its parts. Belmont report: respect for persons: allowing people to choose to participate or not, beneficence: do no harm to participant, justice: benefits and burdens of research participants must be shared equally among potential populations. Common rule: institutions must establish and maintain an institutional review board. Observers in a room often very accurate when guessing the personality of who lives there. Temporary states, attitudes and physical attributes not considered traits.
