Individual Differences at Work

Explore how and why individuals differ from one another and the methods that psychologists use to measure these differences.

This program is part of the MSc Business and Organisational Psychology degree offered by Coventry University

Understand and measure important psychological differences between individuals

You will explore models of intelligence, from simple two factor to multiple intelligences and principles of test construction, to assess individual differences.

You will discover the main areas of theory, research and debate concerning individual differences and learn about attempts to measure human psychological characteristics.

The program will help you investigate the philosophical implications of these attempts by questioning the original scientific paradigm of psychologists involved in attempting such measurement and explanation.
