In this course it will be discussed issues concerning the psychological development, with particular reference to temperament and self-regulation.
The course aims to study issues relating to the psychological development of individual differences, with particular reference to selfregulation, understood as the set of processes designed to regulate the behavior, the emotions and the cognitive activities.
The course will take place through lectures and opportunities for discussion, supplemented by individual exercise as follows: administration of questionnaire, analysis and summary of the responses (scoring), brief discussion about results. The results about the different individual profiles will be also discussed in class.
At the end of the course there is an additional written exercise modulated on the basis of the exam questions assigned in the state certification exam for Psychologist. The exercise will focus on the topics presented in the course, but the students should also integrate these with the knowledges previously achieved.
Different theoretical approaches that explain temperament and self-regulation will be introduced. A selection of contributions aimed at illustrating specific aspects related to the emotional and social development will be presented. During the course will be presented some questionnaires for the assessment of temperament. Students have to complete an exercise that will lead to discuss different temperamental profiles .
