Instructions
Theory Compare / Contrast Paper
For this assignment, you will write a paper no less than 7 pages in length, not including required cover and Reference pages, comparing and contrasting two personality theories from the course. You are free to select from among the several theories covered in the course to date, but only two theories may be used.
Your task is to demonstrate your knowledge of these theories via descriptions of their key concepts and detailing the most important aspects of each theory in explaining personality. It is recommended that you revisit the material covered to date to refresh your knowledge of theory details. This is a comprehensive assignment and you should demonstrate in your work that you have studied and comprehended the similarities and the differences between your two chosen theories. This is a fact-based paper only. It should not be based upon your preference for a theory or your opinion. As such, you are to write only in the third-person.
Important and Required Sections of the Paper
Introduction
Depiction of Theories
Background and Origin of Theories
Comparison of Theories
Contrast of Theories
Conclusion
Your submission should be double-spaced with 1-inch margins on all sides of each page and should be free of spelling and grammar errors. You are to also include subheadings in your paper to best structure your writing and clearly demonstrate your logical writing. Your paper must include source crediting of any materials used in APA format, including source citations in the body of your paper and in a Reference list attached to the end. Easy to follow guides to APA formatting can be found on the tutorial section of the APUS Online Library and on the following website.

This assignment will assess your ability to explain behaviorism and cognitivism as separate schools of thought and connect them to the development of cognitive behaviorism. You will show the interaction of these schools of thought through examples related to your professional goals.
Write a 2- to 3-page informational essay incorporating the following:
Explain behaviorism.Provide the definition.
Discuss at least two key concepts related to behaviorism.
Explain cognitivism.Provide the definition.
Discuss at least two key concepts related to cognitivism.
Explain how behaviorism and cognitivism both influenced the formation of cognitive behaviorism.
Provide an example of how cognitive behaviorism would be important while interacting with others in a work setting aligned with your professional goals (for example, understanding why others might behave inappropriately in order to avoid conflict, or why someone might continue to drink alcohol even though they have lost their driver’s license, or why a child might decide to talk back to a teacher even though it will be punished).Focus your example on cognitive behaviorism and what it means in relation to the examples, rather than on the physical characteristics of the example.

Focus on the importance of using social media when starting a consulting business. Create a discussion post related to the concepts in the readings for this week.
Here are some ideas for your post:
Describe how you plan to use social media to promote your business. How you will integrate the use of social media with other strategies for branding and marketing? Identify any ethical considerations in relation to your plan.
Select a concept from your readings that you found particularly interesting, illuminating, or insightful. Discuss how you would apply what you learned to your professional life. Find other resources to support your thoughts.

Describe the importance of ethics in developmental research. What are some of the special precautions that researchers working with children must take?
discussion must have a minimum of 250 words and contain at least 2 citations for each posting to support your facts, include a separate reference section that doesn’t count toward your word count

AS Description: The general adaptation syndrome (GAS) is a theory developed by Hans Selye who suggested that a person’s physiological response to a stressor exists in three stages. Identify and explain each of the stages and include examples to specific stressors from your own life. Distinguish stressors between cataclysmic, personal, and background stressors.
AS Instructions: Create your response into a word document with a minimum of 550-700 word count. Use appropriate APA in text citations where needed and a full reference page.

General Psychology: Behavioral Analysis Project
Project Description: This project requires you to
1. Complete analysis of a person(s) through observations
2. Write a paper about the observations, explaining your analysis. In other words, you will engage in “people watching” and analyze behavior or patterns of behavior you see. This is a descriptive research project.
Examples of people you may consider for observation and analysis:
• Workgroup or colleagues
• A Family Member such as a parent or sibling
• Peers from class or school
• Peers from church or a religious group
• Close Friendship(s) or Relationship(s)
• Person(s) joined to do a common thing (i.e., sports, online environments, gaming, music, etc.)
• A character(s) in a series or show–make sure it’s long enough to meet the 24-hour requirement
Project Instructions:
· Pick the person(s) you will watch and analyze and complete an observational plan.
· Choose one to three people to observe. If you choose to observe more than one person (2 or 3), all of them should be in a group or in the same setting at the same time. You can discuss how they influence one another
· After you have decided on who you will watch, you will start your observations. Your observations should lead to an analysis of behaviors you see by considering what you see through the lens of psychology.
· Do not tell the participant(s) that you are watching them; this may change their behavior! If you are writing about “real” people (not a character) you will use an alias to protect their privacy.
· You must engage in observations for a minimum of 24hrs. Take notes to help you write your paper. Your observations should build on each other and give you guidance on particular things you want to pay attention from one observation to the next.
· After you have completed your observations, you will write a 3-5-page APA formatted paper connecting what you saw in your observations to course concepts learned about in psychology. This length DOES NOT include your title, abstract, and reference page.
· You are required to write about five-course concepts (or more). Course concepts should come from the textbook, notes, videos, or other class materials. Be certain you can thoroughly explain each concept and provide specific “real life” examples or evidence that you saw during your observations. You should have a paragraph (or more) for each concept.
· Include a conclusion paragraph (minimum of 4-5 sentences) explaining how completing the analysis project has facilitated your understanding/awareness of psychology in your daily life.
·You will have a minimum of 7 paragraphs: An Intro; a paragraph for each of the five concepts; and conclusion.
·In addition you need a title page, abstract, and reference page in APA format.
· Include a reference to the textbook and any other sources you used for your writing. You should have a minimum of 3 sources.

Please make a discussion post related to the weekly content. For each post, be succinct (use no more than 75 words) and professional. Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig’s Create option to create a new post.
Correlations are most often used when the variables are continuous. This week, we are learning how categorical variables can be incorporated in correlational analyses. Please reply to one of the following in your discussion post:
Share and discuss an outside resource such as a link to a video, website, or scholarly article that discusses the use of categorical predictor variables in multiple regression analysis. Why did you pick this to share?
Identify a research question from your professional life or research interests that could be addressed with dummy predictor variables in multiple regression. Explain how you would dummy code your predictor variable.
If your friend was designing a study for their dissertation and said they wanted to include a categorical variable as a predictor variable, what advice would you give them?
Ask any questions you might have about this week’s content.
