Compare and contract the aims and methods of Trait Theory with those of Personal Construct Theory Looking at the Trait theory and Personal Construct theory (PCT) both are concerned with the psychological study of individual differences and personality traits. The trait theory is based in the experimental approach, while personal construct theory is concerned with a phenomenological approach into the study of individual difference (cited in Butt, 2012). This essay will begin by briefly describing the trait theory and PCT, following on from that it will go on to highlight both theories aims and methods used in relation to personality traits. Using Eysenck and Rachman’s trait theory (objective) and Kelly's PCT (subjective) I will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of both theories, and make comparisons in relation to methods used in order to measure or investigate individual differences and the knowledge that each method produces, and how each theory can explain individual differences /personality traits (cited in Butt, 2012). I will also briefly look at both theories in terms of power relations and structure / agency which can have a great influence on individual difference and personality traits.

Describe and evaluate the behaviourist approach in psychology Psychology is the study of the human mind its functions, behaviours and the mental characteristics of a person or a group of people. Psychology looks at human behaviour in six approaches, each one has its own idea or perspective on how behaviour is applied or learnt from the environment. The Psychodynamic approach looks at the behaviour in childhood and the environment they were brought up in and applies it to any adult problems, it accounts behaviour in the form of the conscious, pre-conscious and the unconscious mind. The Biological approach takes more of a scientific view on the human mind and views all human behaviour as a result of inherited genes and evolution as well as biological processes in the body, such as brains and chemical imbalances. Humanistic psychology looks at positive realisation, it states that everyone is different and that those differences are good as it makes people have different views.
