For the first time in years I'm considering teaching a course in personality
in the coming semester. I'd like some advice as to texts and organizational
formats that colleagues have found effective. I want to include current
experimental work but I don't want to exclude serious treatment, both as to
content and philosophical underpinnings, of major classical macrotheories
and some current microtheories. I'm also uncertain as to whether to focus
the empirical emphasis primarily on the testing of major theoretical
concepts (difficult as that might be) or on current work, much of which will
turn out to be of trivial significance. I have a strong desire to avoid
texts that try to be "hip" or politically correct. Last, I have to fit the
final product into a single semester. I'd appreciate any suggestions. You
can write to me backchannel if you prefer so as not to clog the site.
Thanks.
