Abstract:
This article reviews some of the limitations and biases in mainstream personality theories and recommends teaching content that is not traditionally covered in a theories course. Through discussion of the limitations of theory and the use of expanded evaluation guidelines, students' critical thinking skills are enhanced. Inclusiveness is increased when teachers expose students to: (a) historical theories that demonstrate early respect for diversity and the role of sociocultural events in personality formation, (b) recent reformulations of traditional theory, (c) feminist approaches that focus on the relational elements of development, and (d) cognitive developmental perspectives that value desires for related-ness and strivings for independence.

Abstract:
Foreign author’s psychological theories of personality from the point of view of formulating and solving issues related to the field of motivation of human behavior are examined in the article. The theories are mainly presented, which are usually considered both in monographs devoted to theoretical issues of personality psychology, and in books, the purpose of which is to illuminate motivational issues. The provisions of these theories related to the topic of motivation are revealed and discussed. Particular attention is paid to the lack of clear scientific criteria for classifying a particular theory as a personal or motivational problem, although in fact motivation is only a particular aspect of personality psychology. In conclusion, the point is made that in modern theories of personality, the issues of motivation of human behavior are disclosed quite fully and versatile, however, there is still no unified, holistic psychological theory of motivation and a clear division of the theory into personal and motivational. The same is stated with regard to psychological theories of personality, which differ significantly from each other in terms of terminology, problems considered in them and scientific solutions offered to them.

Abstract:
The authors review four theories that propose different conceptualizations of borderline personality disorder's (BPD) core psychopathology: excess aggression, emotional dysregulation, failed mentalization, and interpersonal hypersensitivity. The theories are compared in their ability to explain BPD's coaggregation of four usually distinct sectors of psychopathology, their high overlap with other disorders, their ability to distinguish BPD from other disorders, their integration of heritability, and their clinical applicability. The aims of this review are to increase awareness of these theories, to stimulate improved theories, and to f ster testable hypotheses so that research can advance our knowledge about BPD's core.

Abstract:
Despite, its recent growth, implicit psychology is largely excluded from undergraduate personality textbooks. Students’ preconceptions about personality likely bias their evaluation of formal personality theories and are generally ignored by personality instructors. We present an exercise that requires students to critique their preconceived beliefs about personality as if these beliefs constituted formal personality theories. Students rated the assignment as difficult but though-provoking and valuable for the insight it gave them into the formal theories and their own beliefs. The exercise engenders active learning by involving students directly in the difficulties of theory construction. Students probably relate the more formal theories they learn to the existing framework of their own theories. This self-referencing should enhance memory of formal theories.

Abstract:
BackgroundA major short coming of current research into personality is its failure to explore the relationship between theories of general personality and mental disorder.AimsTo provide preliminary data to address this deficit.MethodIn the first of two studies, we examined the relationship between the Neuroticism, Extraversion and Other – Five-Factor Inventory (NEO–FFI) and DSM personality disorders in a consecutive series of mentally disordered offenders. In the second, we sought to separate the personality dimension neuroticism from symptoms of depressive disorder in a sample of subjects with current depression.ResultsFactors from the NEO–FFI were associated with different personality disorders in a predictable manner (first study). It was possible to identify a component of neuroticism (i.e. ‘worry’) that could be separated from depressive symptoms (second study).ConclusionsTheories of general personality theory can enlighten and refine descriptions of abnormal mental states by informing both their aetiology and their prognosis.

Presentation of the chapter from the book by Maksymenko, S.D. (2018). Psychology of human learning: genetically-modeling approach. Kyiv. The monograph considers the personality, its sources, structural components and its inward world in terms of genetic psychology. The principles for construction of experimental genetic and genetically-modeling methods as the most adequate for explanation of laws and mechanisms of appropriation, formation and development of human abilities and genesis of personality development are presented for the first time. Genetically-original units of various abilities and “needs” as sources for stimulating activity of individual (Latin: Vis vitalis - vital power), its deepness and initial unity (synthetic character) (Latin: Vis vitae - vital force) that constitutes the personality are presented. The following fundamental analysis is made: - theory of learning as a way for development and self-realization of personality; - study as a public form for management of learning and personality development; - learning as a direct and by-product of study. The following specific peculiarities for needs (in vital force or vital power) were found: - energy informative virtues of human in onto- and phylogenesis; - genetic psychological problems, as well as personality structure were fixed; - sources and driving forces of personality activity were proved (presented); - fundamentally new personality structure, its forecast for development and life way; life (existence) of human; realization of love and needs and motivational regulators for life way of personality inward space

Abstract:
I developed a 9-item implicit personality theory (IPT) scale to demonstrate the naive, lay beliefs students have regarding the construct of personality. Students (N = 162) completed the IPT Scale during Week I and Week 16 in a Personality Theories course. Analysis of Week 1 responses showed definite student preferences for certain IPTs. Factor analysis of these data also revealed 4 relatively unique factors that accounted for 65.2% of the variance. By Week 16, students' preference for a particular explicit theory of personality related to their responses on the IPT scale. Comparison of Week 1 and Week 16 scores indicated that individual IPTs were fairly resistant to change. Pedagogically, these results demonstrate the role of IPTs in the construction and validation of explicit personality theories. Also, class discussion on topics such as individual differences, attribution theory, self-serving bias, and personal constructs are enhanced when students' IPTs are made explicit.

Abstract:
Estimates of the longitudinal stability of the normal adult personality decrease with increase in the length of the assessment-reassessment interval over which stability is measured, regardless of the method employed. This randomness in the evolution of personality is attributed to the inherent indeterminacy of the global dynamics of the normal human brain. The predictive power of theories of personality is fundamentally constrained. Explanatory personality theories should not be evaluated in terms of the proportion of the total variance that they predict over time but rather on the proportion of the predictable variance they account for.

Abstract:
In all agencies, lay beliefs of a person are closely related to frequency, tendency and quality of prosocial behaviors. Potential helpers who hold an incremental theory of personality (belief that a person's attributes are malleable), will be more willing to help socially stigmatized groups than those who hold an entity theory of personality (belief that a person's attributes are fixed (Karafantis & Levy, 2004; West, 2003). Based on this recent evidence, we examined the relationship between lay theories of personality and helping in a Chinese population.

Abstract:
A behavioral dimension of impulse versus constraint has long been observed by personality psychologists. This article begins by reviewing processes underlying this dimension from the perspectives of several personality theories. Some cases of constraint reflect inhibition due to anxiety, but some theories suggest other roots for constraint. Theories from developmental psychology accommodate both possibilities by positing 2 sorts of control over action. These modes of influence strongly resemble those predicated in some personality theories and also 2 modes of function that are asserted by some cognitive and social psychological theories. Several further literatures are considered, to which 2-mode models seem to contribute meaningfully. The article closes by addressing questions raised by these ideas, including whether the issue of impulse versus constraint applies to avoidance as well as to approach.
