Overview

1.   Select a psychologist whose theories you find interesting. Some examples include: Pavlov, Watson, Skinner, Bandura, Piaget, Kohlberg, Kinsey, Masters, Johnson, Gottman, Sternberg, and Lee. A great place to research psychologists is using our textbook and/or google search

2.   Read about the psychologist and his/her theories using the textbook, internet websites, and or books in the library.

3.   In one or more pages (you may write more than one page…your choice) discuss the background of the psychologist and their theory. Total assignment is two pages including the bibliography.


Page One

   Paragraph One “Background Information”: discuss background information including: education, country of origin, birth date (and date of death if applicable), marital status and marital information, family background information, and any other interesting information about their life such as winning a Nobel Prize.

   Paragraph Two “Theory”: discuss their theory. Choose a stage, level, or aspect of it that interests you and write about it. For example: if discussing Skinner be sure to explain a part of his theory such as shaping, or positive and negative reinforcement. Since this is a short assignment you do not have to cover the entire theory.

   Paragraph Three “Critique”: discuss the importance of this theory in the field of psychology, and how this theory is applied today. If the theory is controversial, then discuss the controversies regarding th theory and arguments for and against it. For example: Kholberg’s theory is considered controversial because he had only male participants in his study which makes it challenging to apply some of his conclusions to females.

 Page Two

 “Bibliography/Works Cited”: cite any sources used in your paper using APA format.
