There are several theoretical perspectives on personality in psychology, which involve different ideas about the relationship between personality and other psychological constructs, as well as different theories about the way personality develops.

 Current Issues in Education: Volume 8 Number 3
It could be argued that restricting our research to a small number of popular educational psychology and personality psychology textbooks may have resulted in a less than fully representative content of either discipline.

 MANY FACES: Chap. 2 Personality Psychology
Personality theorists have argued that the enduring mission of personality psychology has been to provide both theoretical and methodological tools for integrating the diverse system of influences affecting the lives of individuals and accounting for their differences.

Personality psychology seeks to integrate diverse influences on human conduct ranging from the genetic and neurophysiological underpinnings of traits to the historical contexts within which individual life stories can be rendered coherent.

 Social-Personality Psychology : Program Overview
The goal of the program is to prepare social and personality psychologists who will contribute to the development of psychology and whose research will aid our understanding of human behavior and the solution of social problems.
Our philosophy is that broad preparation in psychology and social science methodology is essential to Ph.D. training, because the problems that social and personality psychologists will study in the coming decades will differ from those currently researched.
The program provides strong preparation in the theoretical foundations of social and personality psychology, and it couples this training with an emphasis on the application of psychology to social issues and policy.
