1 Personality Psychology Fall SEMINAR IN SOCIAL-PERSONALITY PSYCHOLOGY: PERSONALITY SOP A Tuesdays 1:55 4:55 p.m. (Periods 7 9) Rinker Hall (RNK) Room 215 Instructor: Gregory D. Webster, Ph.D. Office: Psychology Building 088 Hours: Tuesdays, 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. gdwebs@ufl.edu PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, AND POLICIES The purpose of this course is to expose you to a variety of current theoretical and applied research perspectives in personality psychology. The material you will learn in this survey course will (a) highlight the many ways in which personality science can inform social psychology and (b) give you the background knowledge necessary to generate and test your own theories and research hypotheses. The format of the course will be a seminar that will rely on interactive discussion of the material. Each student will be responsible for leading one classroom discussion of the material. This does not need to be a formal presentation just some questions, comments, or other talking points to help spark and maintain discussion. I would prefer to hold discussions without using presentation slides (e.g., Prezi, Keynote, PowerPoint). Each student will the instructor one discussion question for each reading (i.e., 3 6 per week) by noon each Tuesday prior to class (write SOP6409 in the subject line; use gdwebs@ufl.edu). The instructor or weekly discussant will select a few of these questions to facilitate classroom discussion on each reading. You will each conduct an independent theoretical review on a topic of your choosing. I recommend that you chose a topic in which either you or your advisor preferably both are interested. It should be your expectation that this review serve as the basis for a manuscript, thesis, or grant proposal. The paper may either be a qualitative narrative review or a small-scale quantitative meta-analysis. In the past, nearly all students have preferred the former in favor of the latter. There is no page limit, but less is often more. Students shall uphold the University of Florida Honor Code in all aspects of this course. Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office, which will then provide documentation to the student, who will then give this documentation to the Instructor when requesting accommodation.
