Research Human Behavior

/in /by

Select a research method, such as case studies, surveys, or experimental, from the text that interests you. Then, respond to the following questions in 100 to 200 words each.

1. Describe how you would use this method in researching human behavior and what topics you might study.

2. Explain why you chose this method and where it fits in using the scientific method.

Review the material presented in Chapter 11 on Sexual Motivation and Sexual Orientation.

/in /by

Option B

 

Review the material presented in Chapter 11 on Sexual Motivation and Sexual Orientation. Most psychologists believe that our sexual preferences and orientation are largely determined by our biology.

 

1.      What are some biological or genetic factors that influence sexual orientation behavior?  Describe two or more conclusions from biological research of sexual orientation behavior.  (These may include genes, brain functioning, metabolic, and hormonal, etc.) Be sure that your ideas are based on the material from your assigned readings or videos, and not simply opinion. (1 paragraph)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.      What are some psychological and social/cultural factors that may also influence sexual orientation? Describe two or more conclusions from psychological or social research of sexual orientation. (These may include personal issues, family issues, society, media or cultural issues.) Be sure that your ideas are based on the material from your assigned readings or videos, and not simply opinion.(1 paragraph)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.      Based on the research you described above, how do you now view sexual orientation?   Do you see it as primarily biologically based or psycho-socially based? Be sure to support your views with research. (1 paragraph)

Exploring Personality Theories

/in /by

In this assignment, you will define and apply various personality theories to your personal life experiences. .

Background

In psychology, personality theorists have sought to understand the traits and other factors that determine our very nature. Some of these factors are innate, and others seem to be shaped by environmental forces. Each theory takes a different approach to understanding personality. Familiarity with theories of personality will help you to understand and organize behaviors that you observe in others and yourself.

 

Instructions

 

Part I: Apply each of the four personality theories to your personal life experience by answering the following questions.

  • The Five Factor Model of Personality: Explain where you fall on each of the five dimensions or traits in this theory. Discuss whether you feel you were “born with” this trait or if you feel this trait developed through experiences in your environment (such as family experiences or other learning experiences). Based on your experience, explain whether personality traits are primarily biological (innate) or environmental(learned) (Nature vs. Nurture).
  • Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory: Describe how social learning theory played an influence in your own personality development. Identify whose behavior you modeled and provide specific details to describe the ways in which their behavior influenced you.
  • Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: Identify which stage of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs you are currently experiencing. Explain which level you hope to experience in the future.
  • Freudian Theory of Personality Structure: Regarding your own personality functioning, provide an example of how your own Id, Ego, and Superego might all work together to help you meet your needs and have a successful life. Many contemporary psychologists disagree with Freud, and do not believe that the unconscious mind plays an important role in every day behavior. Based on your readings in psychology, as well as your own experiences, do you believe that the unconscious mind is important in everyday life? Why or why not?

Your response should be a 3–4-page Microsoft Word document written in a clear, concise, and organized manner. Be sure to demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA); and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

LASA 2: Exploring Personality Theories

 

 

Part I: Apply the personality theories to your personal life experience by answering the following questions. (Each paragraph below should be 200 – 400 words.)

 

1. The Five Factor Model of Personality: Explain where you fall on each of the FIVE dimensions or traits in this theory. Discuss whether you feel you were “born with” this trait or if you feel this trait developed through experiences in your environment (such as family experiences or other learning experiences). Based on your experience, explain whether personality traits are primarily biological (innate) or environmental (learned) (Nature vs. Nurture). (1 paragraph)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory: Describe how social learning theory played an influence in your own personality development. Identify whose behavior you modeled and provide specific details to describe the ways in which their behavior influenced you. (1 paragraph)

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: Identify which stage of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs you are currently experiencing. Explain which level you hope to experience in the future. (1 paragaph)

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Freudian Theory of Personality Structure: Regarding your own personality functioning, provide an example of how your own Id, Ego and Superego might all work together to help you meet your needs and have a successful life. Many contemporary psychologists disagree with Freud, and do not believe that the unconscious mind plays an important role in every day behavior.  Based on your readings in psychology, as well as your own experiences, do you believe that the unconscious mind is important in everyday life?  Why or why not?” (2 paragraphs)
