Neo-psychoanalytic theory & Humanistic theory

Final Paper Reflecting on the discussions and assignments that you have completed over the course, determine which theory of personality and scales/assessments you feel that you really connected with.

Which theory resonated with you and helped you identify elements of your personality?

For your final paper, choose two theories and scales/assessments that you want to explore further.

Thinking about the personality theories that you learned in this course, define two personality theories that resonate with you most. Which two theories do you feel connected to? Using the course textbook and other resources, define and conceptualize both theories. What is the definition of each theory? What are the concepts that each theory uses to define the development of personality?

Choose two personality assessments that you have completed over this course related to the two theories of personality that you chose in Step 1 above (e.g., the Big Five, Myers-Briggs, another from Test Yourself!, etc. ). You may also use other questionnaires that are in the course textbook that were not used as a part of the discussions and assignments. Write about the results of your assessment and how it defines your personality. Provide real-life examples of how the results relate to your personality.

Do you think the results are an accurate depiction of your personality? Why or why not?

Connecting the pieces: Why did you choose the specific personality theories and personality scales? Why do you think the theories and scales resonate with you most?

What have you learned about your personality? Based on what you have learned over the course of the semester and about your specific personality, what can you do to help attribute to positive growth within yourself? Provide examples of what you can do to personally grow.

Module 5: Mindfulness, Flow, and Meaning

Complete the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale located in the Positive Psychology article from this module. For this assignment, practice bringing more mindfulness to your experiences for one week.

Here are some ways in which you can begin practicing mindfulness: Throughout the day when you notice you are lost in your thoughts or when you “space out,” bring your attention back to the present moment. You may find a physical object such as a coin in your pocket or rubber band around your wrist to help you remember to be more mindful. Each time you find yourself spacing out, switch the coin to your other pocket or move the rubber band to your other wrist.

  • Did you find yourself spacing out a lot this week?
  • Was there a specific time/activity in which you found yourself spacing out more than others?
  • Did you use a physical object to help remind yourself to be more mindful? If so, what was that experience like? Was it helpful?

For at least two days during the week, practice a mindful meditation.  Be Present at least once. If you prefer, you can also sit in silent meditation for at least 10 minutes each day. If you choose to practice a silent meditation, it may be helpful to set a timer on your phone.

  • What was your experience during the mindful meditation?
  • Was it difficult to stay mindful, was it relaxing, or did you find yourself falling asleep?
  • What was your experience after completing the mindful meditation?
  • How do you think this practice could be beneficial to your life?
  • Is this something that you can see yourself sticking with and practicing regularly? Why or why not?

Your paper should be two to three pages in length, excluding the title and reference pagechos, formatted in APA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZToicYcHIOU https://positivepsychology.com/mindful-attention-awareness-scale-maas/

Literature Review

For this assignment, you will practice finding articles in the library, finding information in articles, and writing an integrated summary. An integrated summary should not list the results of each article one by one but should instead integrate together the results, as you see in the introductory sections of the articles. Following this, you will identify further questions on the topic that could be explored.

Assignment Directions:
Use any of the websites: Note, that no other websites are allowed. Only use any one of these websites:

1. library.purdueglobal.edu/advancedserarch
2. library.purdueglobal.edu/pglibraryintroguide

Begin by identifying a psychology topic (ideally one of interest to you) to focus on. You will search for articles on this topic in the library. Examples of topics are anxiety, happiness, optimism, pessimism, social media, music therapy, or equine therapy. You could also choose to focus on a mental health disorder, such as depression or substance abuse.

Then, visit the Purdue Global Library Advanced Search and ensure that both “Full Text” and “Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Journals” are selected when you do a search on your topic. From the results list, choose five articles to read. Be sure that each article has the full text available.

Using the Unit 3 Assignment Template, please respond to the following:

The Effects of Culture on Personality Development

Psychologists who study culture and personality claim that the culture in which we are raised has a big impact on how our personality develops and is expressed.

Choose a concrete example from the life of someone you know well that illustrates this phenomenon. The cultural influences can be ethnic, religious, political, social, and so forth.

In this discussion,

Describe the cultural influence and detail how it has impacted the personality of the individual you are profiling.

Use concepts from the various theories you have studied in this class.

Elements that can be explored in this discussion include:

Was the dominant culture of your childhood or your subject’s childhood individualistic or collective?

Did you or your subject grow up in a very religious home? A commune? A rural or urban area?

How has your family’s ethnicity impacted your or your subject’s personality?

Did your or your subject’s family and culture value education? Did they value it equally for both genders?

How does your or your subject’s gender impact your role in the culture? Did you have any personality traits that were out of synch with the dominant culture of your childhood?

There are many ways to address this discussion forum. Your initial post should be a minimum of 450 words.

Identify Sammy’s starting behavior. Create a minimum of five successive approximations to reinforce behavior. Identify the terminal behavior. Discuss the role that differential reinforcement will play in your shaping process.

Shaping

Overview

Shaping is a procedure used in ABA to teach a behavior not currently in the client’s repertoire. We begin by identifying a prerequisite skill the client is capable of performing. Successive approximations are designed to produce a series of gradually changing response classes each response class is a successive approximation toward a terminal behavior.

Consider five­-year-old Sammy: Sammy, the lucky little boy, has been asked to sing “America (My Country ’tis of Thee)” at his kindergarten graduation. His kindergarten teacher has informed you that it is your responsibility to teach him this song. (Little does the teacher know that you cannot carry a tune in a tin bucket!) But, because you are a skilled behavior analyst, you know that you will be able to teach Sammy his song using shaping techniques.

Instructions

For this assignment you will:

Identify Sammy’s starting behavior.
Create a minimum of five successive approximations to reinforce behavior. Identify the terminal behavior.
Discuss the role that differential reinforcement will play in your shaping process.
Describe the motivating operations (MO) you plan to use, and explain how they may affect Sammy’s progress as he learns the song.
Discuss, in your proposed plan, compassionate and ethical considerations in line with the Capella Compassion Code [PDF] and BACB’s Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts [PDF].

Finally, discuss how you might inadvertently shape some undesirable behaviors as you work with Sammy and what you might be able to do to avoid those unwanted behaviors.
