Re: [tips] Teaching Theories
I am teaching Personality for the first time this semester at a rural community college. I asked similar questions about the value of spending a lot of time on older theories. The textbook I am using doesn’t help much, throwing in theory after theory in just one chapter. I would love to hear what some authors of textbooks think. What seems important to me at this point is: What do students need to know to be well-rounded? What do they need to know to understand themselves? What they need to know to understand the rest of the world? The history of personality is full of fascinating theories. To know a field it is useful to understand the origins, of course. Freudian, Jungian, and Object Relations theories still influence current thinking in therapy, policy, and public discourse. A historical overview is useful for seeing the range of aspects of personality, each one gets at a piece of the construct. Students begin to see all the various ways we can catalog individual difference. My personal take on what remains relevant follows: Cross-cultural views. Issues of generalizability. Views of the self. Situational/Interactionist views Mischel Humanistic/existential theories Allow a conversation about meaning and purpose and segue into Positive psychology constructs (Diener, Seligmann). Cognitive processes How we become who we are and how we understand ourselves and others. This can be broadened to include motivation and needs theories as well as Kahneman (fast and slow), Dweck (self-theories, mindset), Biology/evolution Brain structure, neurochemistry, behavioral genetics, temperament, mating behavior. Assessment What are the different ways we do this? What validity do they have? Trait: Big Five Is this really a theory of personality? Validity? It’s like prunes, “Is four enough, six too many?” (for those who don’t know this reference see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaD4qT_wNIk) How it is being used, Interpersonal perception testing. Finally discussing criteria for judging a theory help with critical thinking.

Re: [tips] Teaching Theories
I think Theories of Personality is still widely taught. But, in looking at textbooks and such, it tends to be taught in very much a ‘history of theories of personality’ fashion. I think this gives students a false sense of the vitality and utility of old theories. I would be comfortable with a text that did a general historical overview hitting the high points of several of the most important older theories before delving into views on personality that have currency and generativity. I feel the historical view and dozens of theories does a disservice to students and is generally confusing. I would hate teaching that kind of course if it were dropped into my lap.

[tips] Teaching Theories
We offer a course in our department called Theories of Personality. IMHO, given the syllabus of the person currently teaching the course, it should be called History of Theories of Personality, as the course features theories by May, Allport, Maslow, Freud, Kelley, Rogers, Cattell, Bandura and Rotter, in no particular order, I just jotted them down as quickly as I could. If this course is still widely taught, would this look the appropriate theories to talk about? I saw next to nothing about trait theory except for Cattell. And is that all there is? There are no syllabi to compare to for a theories of personality course in project syllabus younger than 2006. That is 9 years ago and the content does seem similar. So does this mean that in the past decade this has phased out? Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
