The following elements must be addressed (as also outlined in the Literature Review section of the Final Project I Guidelines and Rubric document):
I. Literature Review: In this part of the assessment, you will analyze foundational research presented in the course for how the field of personality psychology has changed over time, how researchers have designed research to study personality, and how issues of ethics have been addressed historically in the field.
A. Summarize the claims made by the authors of the foundational research presented in the course regarding how personality develops. In other words, what claims are made by the research about how human personality develops?
B. Summarize the claims made by the authors of the foundational research presented in the course regarding how personality is assessed. In other words, what claims are made by the research about how personality has been determined by assessments?
C. Explain how the view of personality has evolved over the history of personality psychology. Be sure to support with examples from research to support your claim.
D. Explain the conclusions you can reach about research in personality psychology. In other words, explain what we know about personality, based on your review of the research presented in the course. Be sure to support your analysis with examples from research to support your claim.
E. Describe the specific research designs used in the foundational research presented in the course used to address research questions. For
example, what were the specific methods used to address their research question? What type of research design was used?
F. Explain how research designs were used by authors to conduct research in personality psychology. In other words, how did the research designs
used by researchers help in conducting research regarding personality psychology?
G. Discuss how issues of ethics have been addressed in the foundational research presented in the course. For example, how did the authors
inform the participants of what the experiment would entail? How did the authors account for any potential risks to participants associated with
the study?
H. Discuss how issues of ethics in personality psychology have been viewed historically. In other words, how have issues of ethics in the field been
viewed over time? Has this view changed as the field has progressed? Be sure to support your response with examples from research to support
your claims.
Guidelines for Submission: Use the Literature Review Template to complete and submit your literature review draft of the three articles for your track.
Within the template, be sure to use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and discipline-appropriate citations in APA.
format. Each of the three literature reviews should be one page in length.
