STEP 1: Select one theory of personality from the following list: Biological Contributions (This is in your textbook as Behavioral and Molecular Genetics), Five-Factor Model of Personality, Humanistic Model and Social Cognitive Perspective (see Crash Course Video, Episode #22).
Write a 200-400 word post on the theory of personality you have chosen and why it makes the most sense to you. Provide an accurate and detailed description of the approach you select. Compare your choice to the other theories. Name and briefly critique the other theories, how are they different or similar to the theory of your choice? Base your answer on the reading or videos, or you may find additional information in the UMGC library or online. Be sure to cite all sources, including your Saylor (2015) textbook.
Your paper should include an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Also, support your answers with the course’s readings and at least two scholarly journal articles. The article’s purpose is to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook.
ProQuest and EBSCOhost are great sites to find resources. Also, write in a concise and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. Additionally, the quality of your writing dictates grading criteria. On the other hand, if you use direct quotes from books or articles, place the words you copied (use parenthesis) and cite in-line.
The quotes should be complete sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporated in your essay to illustrate your ideas. Please, cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Also, do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations). Also, write an essay format, not in bullet form, numbering, or another list format. It would be best if you use your own words. Lastly, proofread your work and run it through Grammarly for thorough confirmation.
