Personality psychology

Personality psychology is a branch of science that studies people's behavior and the different traits that make us who we are. It looks at how we act in different situations, our attitudes and beliefs, and our relationships with others. Personality psychologists try to figure out why people do what they do and feel the way that they do. They also look at how our genes, our environment, and our life experiences all influence our personalities.
