Personality This week, we covered personality, the different approaches to explaining and assessing personality. Choose one of these approaches (psychodynamic, trait, learning, biological and evolutionary, and humanistic) that you particularly like or understand, and explain it in your own words for us. Focus on the Big Five Personality Traits (Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) and tell us your level of each and give one example of a behavior that illustrates that. For example, if you are high in extraversion, perhaps you are very talkative, whereas if you are lower in extroversion you might be quieter in conversations. Finally, briefly reflect on how knowing about your personality traits could help you in college classes and your career

Novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie left her home in Nigeria to attend college in the United States. “The Danger of Single Story” is a speech Adichie gave in 2009. It examines how we fail to grant each other a full dimensionality when we define one another in “a single story.” Think about how this concept relates to The Scarlet Letter. Consider your own life and write a personal narrative about a time when you experienced less than full dimensionality and what you learned from the experience. The essay should mention the concept of “less than full dimensionality” and there should be no question about how the personal experience demonstrates this concept and connects to our lesson contents and Adichie’s video story. Add supporting detail from The Scarlet Letter and the TED Talk in the essay, and cite the sources. The narrative should be 1-2 pages double spaced, use essay structure, and be in MLA format. Word or PDF file format is required.

Psychology 207 (Winter 2023) MeSearch Assignment Guidelines Purpose: The goal of this assignment is to help you understand social psychology in action—in your own life and in the world around you. This paper requires you to think about how a specific social psychological theory that you’ve learned about in this class can be applied to an experience from your own life. Choose one theory that you think may be related to a real-life situation that you have experienced and attempt to account for your own behaviour. There should be five major sections in your paper: 1. Introduction: What do you plan to say in your paper? What type of behaviour are you going to explain? What theory will you use to explain this behaviour? This is only an overview, so don’t go into too much detail. Generally, only one paragraph is needed. Be sure to give a thesis statement (see below). 2. Theory: Name and explain the theory that you are going to use. What does it predict? In what situations does it apply? How has it been tested in the past? Be sure to cite and reference any theory used—this could simply be citing the textbook if that is your source. 3. Your experience: This is where you describe the experience from your own life that you are going to explain using the theory you have chosen. Go into just enough detail so that it will be clear exactly how the theory fits with your real-life experience. This must be from your own perspective and not the perspective of another that you have noticed (as we cannot mindread other people).
