Week 5 Signature Assignment Outline

Contemporary psychology has become highly diversified. Many perspectives have been adopted for the study of psychology. Each of these perspectives sees behavior and experience in a unique way that frequently contradicts other highly regarded perspectives.

For this assignment, review the text to discover more about the seven perspectives of psychology (neuroscience, evolutionary, behavior genetics, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and social-cultural).

This is based on your interpretation of the academic material. Rely on your own words and your interpretation of the material for this assignment.

Keep in mind that you still give credit to your source when paraphrasing the main ideas.
