Homework: Primary Concepts/Psychological Models
Primary Concepts
We have now covered five of the seven major psychological models that serve as frameworks for understanding personality. Each model has several theorists and numerous concepts that describe personality. That is what theories are-collections of related concepts meant to explain development. It is time for you to begin to analyze these concepts to determine which you think are most useful and applicable. For this homework, you will identify one concept from each of the following models that you think is the best description for personality development from that model (the last three will be addressed in your Final Paper). Address the following models:
o Psychodynamic
o Neurobiological
o Trait
o Cognitive
For each of the concepts chosen:
1) Apply a proper APA heading to separate the section.
2) Describe the concept.
3) Identify the theorist associated with the concept.
4) Provide a rationale for why that is the most applicable concept from that model.
Keep in mind that the object of this homework is to identify and discuss a specific concept from each model and not to focus on just one model or provide overviews of the models per se.
