Discussion: Personality Psychology is essentially the study of traits. Personality psychologists want to know “What accounts for the differences in individuals and in their behavior?” and laypeople want to know “How can I correctly predict others’ behavior and make judgments accordingly?” Is human nature determined from within or from without? Are our minds and behavior the products of inner forces, or are we shaped and prodded into thought and action by the stimuli of the environment? This is, once more, the classic nature versus nurture question. These debates have always been a part of psychology, since Plato, and likely always will be. Most psychologists now lean toward the interactionist view of nature/nurture question- that most everything a person does results from an interaction between their personality and the situation they happen to be in.
Questions/ Discussion: Discuss how we came to this conclusion, specifically when it comes to personality, citing both historical thought and empirical data on both biological and environmental influences.
Can we now predict behavior based on personality? How could a layperson go about trying to do this?

Discussion: I find Social Psychology extremely fascinating. Virtually everything we do, feel, or think is related in some way to the social side of life. Our relations with other people are so central to our lives and happiness that it is hard to imagine existing without them, and it is this basic fact that makes social psychology so fascinating and essential. A lot of social psychological research involves surprising or shocking results that required extreme experimental situations. Some of these research practices have now been determined unethical.
Discussion Questions: Please discuss at least one piece of social psychological evidence you find important enough to merit the potential danger to participants and at least one that you believe was not worth the risk to participants and should not have been conducted. Also, what do you think of Social Psychology?

Gloria and Lakeisha are co-workers who are assigned to work on a project together. Lakeisha is very organized and wants them to do really well on this project. To help them get started, Lakeisha took some initiative and prepared a list of to-do items along with due dates. She even color-coded the list to indicate which partner will do each item and sends an email to Gloria with the to-do list. Lakeisha wants her partner to know that she’s serious about their success.
Gloria is happy her teammate has shown initiative but is surprised by Lakeisha’s to-do list and feels a bit uncomfortable because she feels like Lakeisha is micromanaging her. Gloria wants to do her part on the project but is feeling anxious because she doesn’t know where she fits in, and it is making her worried about working on this project. She wonders how she can succeed on this project if Lakeisha is already the leader. When working for a previous employer, Gloria felt anxious about her ability to successfully complete a project and attempted to communicate her feelings with a co-worker; however, her co-worker didn’t seem to understand Gloria’s concerns and said that she should just ignore her feelings and get the work done.
As Gloria ponders having a conversation with Lakeisha, she starts to feel overwhelmed and thinks it might just be easier to be removed from the project. Using your problem solving and self and social awareness skills and what you have learned about personality traits and emotions, answer the questions below to help Gloria calm her anxiety and find a solution to her problem:
1. From Chapter 3 in the webtext, what did you learn about the big 5 personality traits?
2. Consider Gloria and Lakeisha’s different approaches to the project. On which one of the Big 5 personality traits do they most differ? How do they differ?
3. Chapter 6 in the webtext focused on emotions. Using what you learned, give advice to Gloria on how she can identify and regulate her own emotions so that she can stick with this project, and be successful.
4. If you were in this situation, how confident are you that you could successfully resolve a workplace conflict like the one that Gloria faced? What past experiences or knowledge influence your answer
