Psychology Assignment -
Task: Include a title page, headings, introduction, discussion and conclusion following A.P.A. format.
Process:
1) Select an event involving a person in the news, whether it is a celebrity or merely a person of interest that is unusual or considered to be different from the norm. You may find this event by following news sites, twitter, or social media. (You must also include the article in the appendix).
2) In your "Introduction", briefly describe the event and why the person's behaviour is of particular interest to you. Following that, outline what you will be covering in your paper.
3) In the body of your paper, use headings to describe the following:
- Describe the theory of learning you believe best fits the person's behavior in this case? (You may need to make some assumptions as to how they might have learned this behaviour)
- Describe the theory of emotion that best applies and justify your selection.
- Is there a personality disorder or some other mental disorder that could account for this behaviour? If so, describe along with your reasoning. If not, outline how stress may have played a role by relating it to a theory of stress.
- How could others have influenced this person's behavior? Describe a social psychological phenomenon that best describes this.
4) In your "Conclusion", briefly summarize your findings and outline whether you believe their action was a result of "nature" or "nurture" or both.
