Discussion Post: Give Me a Dozen Healthy Infants
a) This morning, you discovered a baby left in a basket on your doorstep. For your assigned baby, select one of the Big Five or HEXACO traits and discuss how you could use behaviorist principles to "engineer" the infant's personality.
b) In your discussion, indicate why you think these principles could successfully shape the child's personality and identify the types of problems you might expect with this approach.
