PSY 405 Week 5 Learning or Cognitive Personality Theories

Pick one learning theorist or cognitive theorist (Skinner, Bandura, Rotter, Mischel, Kelly)

Develop questions as if you were an interviewer, then answer the questions in a 900-1100 word paper. REMEMBER, this is a personality class, so focus on personality. (For example, I don’t just want to see a paper on Skinner; I want to see a paper on Skinner’s view of personality.

Here are questions you can use (but you don’t need to use these):

 What are the main points of your theory?

 What is an example of _____________ (main point)?

 How do you compare to ______________ (another theorist we have studied)?

 What are the criticisms of your theory?

 WHat do you think are the strengths of the theory.

You can write like an article — use columns, graphics, first person, etc. Other than the reference at the end, it doesn’t need to be APA. Use your textbook as the primary source
