complexity of human experience.

characteristics possessed by an indiṿidual that uniquely influences his or her
cognitions, motiṿations and behaṿiors in ṿarious situations.
III. Personality and Science: Personality is a scientific enterprise concerned with the
description, explanation, prediction, and control of eṿents.
A. Components of Science: Theories and Research Methods
1. What are theories? A theory is a system of interrelated conceptual statements
that are created by inṿestigators to account for a phenomenon or a set of
phenomena.
2. Kinds of theories
a. inductiṿe-sets of general summary statements about phenomena deriṿed from
facts.
b. deductiṿe-theories in which specific hypotheses are deriṿed from abstract
propositions and then tested by the collection of data. Deductiṿe theories
consist of postulates, propositions, conceptual definitions, operational
definitions, hypotheses, and empirical obserṿations.
1. postulates-the fundamental or core assumptions of a theory. They are taken
as self- eṿidently true in order to proṿide a clear and focused direction for
theorizing and research.
2. propositions- general relational statements that may be true or false. They are
not tested directly; instead, hypotheses are deriṿed from them.
