Conduct a psychobiography of someone you know well. Select a life choice the person has made (such as whom to date or marry, where to attend school, or what career to pursue), and gather as much information as possible to help to explain why the person made the choice he or she did.
For example, you could delve into factors such as the person's background, previous experiences, personality, relationships, and situational pressures. (Don't rely too heavily on the reasons the person gives; people don't always know why they do things).
When possible use concepts and theories you have learned in psychology. Write a brief report explaining the person's decision in light of these factors.
