2. Course Introduction（no more than 500 words）
What is "personality"? How can we scientifically study and measure it? To what extent do biological, social, and cultural factors shape an individual's personality? Is personality a manifestation of our genetic makeup and biology, the pinnacle of social influence, the interplay between the two, or the result of random events? In this course, we will review the major theoretical paradigms in personality psychology, discuss contemporary research, theory, and methodology, and delve into key historical debates in the study of "personality."
