Write Your Own Theory of Personality At the beginning of the course you were asked choose some concepts related to some of the earlier theories of personality. Since then you have learned about those early theories, as well as more recent advancements in the understanding of personality. In this assignment, you will have an opportunity to rewrite your own theory of personality utilizing at least three of the perspectives covered in the course: ? Trait ? Motive ? Genetics and Evolution ? Biological ? Psychanalytical ? Psycho-social ? Learning ? Self-Actualization/Self-Determination ? Cognitive ? Self-Regulation Criteria: ? 750 word, double spaced, 12 point font ? Essay type paper ? Include reference material from this course only (i.e., text, videos, exercises, seminar materials, etc.) ? Cite references used from the course ? Incorporate basic elements of at least three of the perspectives covered in the course. For example, if you were incorporating the Motive Perspective, you would “…explain how needs, motives and press govern how people seek out or respond to objects or situations in the environment.” (Carver 2012) ? Why did you choose the three perspectives for your personal theory? ? How do they fit together to form your personal theory of personality? ? How has this course and the perspectives chosen contributed to your understanding of yourself and of human behaviour in general? ? How would your theory address problem behaviours? ? If only one or two of the theories fit with your personal theory of personality, compare and contrast your chosen perspective(s) with others covered in this course and explain how they do and do not fit with your theory. * I would like the theories incorporated into the paper to be cognitive, biological, and motive. We used the textbook “Perspective on Personality” 8th edition by Charles S. Carver and Michael F. Scheier
