Instructions

For this milestone assignment, you will begin working on Section I: Background of the final project.
Develop an outline of the background section of the final project. List the principle background ideas such as relevant biographical information and historical events that may have influenced the theorist. (Martin Seligman: Positive Psychology and Learned Helplessness) Identify the key concepts of your theory. Begin to formulate your ideas on how the theory is used today. This outline will help structure and organize the background section of the final project. You have just begun to research your selected theory, so this assignment may help you identify sections that need further research. First Section Of Final Project.

PSY 560 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric

Overview The final project for this course incorporates key elements required in your role as an emerging professional in the field of psychology: demonstrate an in-depth

knowledge of the subject matter of psychology; provide a nuanced, critical analysis of this subject matter; and illustrate the theory’s relevance in the field by

defending its use for real-world problems.

You will accomplish these tasks in the final project by producing a theoretical analysis in which you develop and support a position statement regarding the ways

the theory you select fits into the larger scope of personality theory. To this end, you will argue the use of your theory in a contemporary theoretical context. To

accomplish this, you will do the following: provide a detailed description of a selected theory using appropriate source material as the basis of your description;

2) provide a critical analysis of the theory that addresses the validity of the theory drawing on published research, establishes the contemporary relevance of the

theory, identifies strengths and weaknesses of the theory, examines the cultural utility of the theory, and considers the theory within the larger context of

personality psychology; and propose an application of the theory to a contemporary issue or phenomenon.

The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine. Refer to the Project Theorists document for a list of preapproved theorists and resources. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

 Evaluate the use of personality theories in published research for validity and contemporary relevance

 Analyze contemporary theories in personality psychology for their changing roles in the field over time

 Defend the use of personality psychology theories by assessing them against alternative theoretical perspectives

 Illustrate the applicability of theories in personality psychology to contemporary issues and different cultural perspectives

 Formulate conclusions on the contemporary use of theories in personality psychology based on theoretical analysis
