00:01 So we’re going to cover five different types of theories used to examine personality. 00:06 So what is personality? It refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking (cognition), feeling, which is your emotions, and behaving (behavior). 00:16 So collectively we put those together and we say that basically shapes your personality. 00:21 So there are kind of two ways -- two areas of study. 00:24 One are individual differences and particular personality characteristics, and the other one is understanding how the various parts of a person become a whole and have a more wholistic approach. 00:34 So, again, we just want to look at either the differences or understand how we can put those differences together to create one personality, two different areas to look at.
