The course goes further to the study of behaviour and learning theories (experimental analysis of behaviour and social psychology theories); dispositional theories (trait theories and temperament; factor analytic theories , theories, biological traits); self-theory and cognition (personal construct, cognitive behavioural theories); humanistic/existential theories (humanism and existential psychologises) and social context-situation ( social structure and culture).
