Personality Theory at Work in Popular Media
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the required Churchill and Mruk (2014), Hayes (2012), and Waterman (2013) articles, and review the APA's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and Chapters 14 through 17 in your textbook.
For this discussion, you will choose a person who has an important presence in popular media today. This person might be a political, business, human rights, education, or entertainment figure. Examine the major theoretical approaches studied in the class so far (psychodynamic, behavioral, learning, trait and type, and humanistic). Briefly describe your chosen figure's personality from the point of view of each of these five approaches. Evaluate and describe any cultural considerations which may affect the personality assessment within each of the given approaches. Analyze the ethical implications of basing your personality assessment on the information available through the popular media. Select the theoretical approach you think best describes the person and elaborate on his or her personality using this approach.
· Considering your colleague's chosen person, was the theoretical approach he or she selected appropriate?
· Suggest another perspective that might be used to assess this person, and provide a rationale as to why the perspective may be more effective.
· Consider the ethical implications indicated by your colleague. Review the APA's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and describe the issues present in assessing personality using only the information available in popular media.
