Part II: Psychological Autobiography
- In your Psychological Autobiography, describe your life in a way that incorporates 12-15 terms and concepts you learned in this class. You do not need to analyze your struggles in this assignment, or disclose sensitive material. The purpose of the assignment is to simply apply the concepts we explored throughout the course to your own life history in an everyday manner.
- In your Psychological Autobiography, you may use any terms, research, concepts, or theories covered in class, however, you must use terms and ideas from at least five of the following theorists or perspectives:
Piaget
Erikson
Kohlberg
Eysenck
Bandura
Maslow
Freud
There is room for creativity in this assignment! What is most important is that you show the instructor how much you have learned in this course by applying several theories, terms, or concepts to your life story. At a minimum, you should use information from your lectures and readings in this portion of the paper. This portion of the LASA assignment should be 2-3 pages in length. Here are some suggestions for developing your Psychological Autobiography:
- Write your life history according to one or more of the developmental stage theories.
- Apply key concepts to your early development.
- Explain how the concepts apply to your current life situation.
