Personality Psychology

The work of the research group Personality Psychology centers around subjectivity, sensing and sensuality as pertains to personality psychology.

 

 

 

A part of our work is to investigate how sensing takes place as a basic orienting feature for the individual in relation to typical and more atypical ways of experiencing. Sensing can be seen as a fundamental aspect of sensuality, which pertains to affects as well as to corporeal sensations, including sexuality, and is investigated as part of the lived experience of everyday life. Both sensing and sensuality can be seen as edifying features of subjectivity. 

Subjectivity is, however, not only investigated as pertains to sensing and sensuality, but also in its own totality and in its own complex, personal setting. In this regard we research how subjectivity and personhood vary between different contexts and how persons mediate, construct and develop subjectivity in different context in interaction with cultural and personal standards.

Furthermore, we investigate how different judges judge personality, and how their implicit theories about personality have an impact on their behavior. We focus on these central themes from diverse perspectives of psychology, with the task of seeking an understanding of these phenomena which will illuminate unity well as differences in experience and theory about personhood.
