Overview
As you can see, each theory makes certain assumptions about the origins of personality. Depending on the theory, the focus can be on unconscious motivators, unmet needs, social forces, acceptance by your parents, biology, or your predominant tendencies or traits. If you find yourself following only one particular theory or approach, you might develop tunnel vision. You might miss observations, inferences, and conclusions that don’t fit the assumptions of your chosen theory. That is why it is important to be aware of more than one theory, while acknowledging how they compare and contrast. Understanding the differences between theories will allow you to acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of each theory. It will also allow you to think of the person on different levels.
For this assignment, you will compare and contrast two personality theories or approaches from the personality theory list. For example, humanistic psychology and psychoanalytic theory are almost polar opposites so these are easier to contrast, yet there are some commonalities, too. The choice of which two personalities or approaches to compare is up to you. This milestone prepares you for Project One, due in Module Six.
Personality Theories and Approaches
Humanistic psychology
Psychoanalytic theory
Neo-Freudian/object relations theory
Trait approach
Biological perspective
Motivation
Prompt
To begin your milestone, first select two personality theories from the list provided that you think contrast in meaningful ways. Next, use your Project One Milestone Template Word Document to address the following rubric criteria:
Identify which two theories or approaches you will compare and contrast and explain why you chose them. Your response should be about 2 to 4 sentences.
Describe how your two chosen theories differ by selecting 3 topics from A through G below. Your response for each topic should be about 3 to 5 sentences.
Scientific nature
Do the theories you selected differ on their scientific nature? Is one theory more scientific? Consider the techniques used to collect information and devise theories.
Justify your response.
Nature versus nurture
Do the theories you selected differ on the roles of nature versus nurture? Does one theory favor one role to a greater degree than the other? Or is one more neutral in regard to the role of nature and nurture?
Justify your response.
Origin of problems
Do the theories you selected differ in their determination of the origin of mental health or adjustment issues?
Justify your response.

Do the theories you selected differ in the emphasis on the pathology of problems versus focusing on thriving and finding meaning in life? Or is one theory more neutral on the role of pathology versus thriving?
Justify your response.

Do the theories you selected differ on the role of free will? Does one theory do a better job of conveying that people have free will to become the person they wish to be?
Justify your response.
Environmental influences
Do the theories you selected differ on the role of environmental influences? If both theories take environmental factors into consideration, how do they do so differently?
Justify your response.

Do the theories you selected favor the role of internal or external stimuli more? Do they define behavior as more active or reactive?
Justify your response.
Describe at least one similarity between your two selected theories. Your response should be about 3 to 5 sentences.

For this assignment you will explore the different schools of thought that are represented in the psychological sciences as well as the elements of critical thinking. 
Step 1) Go to the following website to read about the various research methods used in the field: https://nobaproject.com/modules/research-designsLinks to an external site.
Be sure to also review the Perspective in Psychology from your OER weekly reading.
Step 2) Next, think about a behavior you have observed in others or in yourself that you’re interesting in understanding from a more scientific point of view. 
Step 3) Find some scientific evidence about this behavior you have in mind from a scholarly source.
Answer the following questions:
1.) Upload a copy of the scientific article you found or post a link to the web source. Also upload/ post a link / screen shot of the non-scholarly source you found. 
2.) Describe the behavior you are interested in learning more about and why.  
3.) Using the 5 main perspectives (Bio/Cognitive/Behavioral/Psychoanalytic/Humanistic) give a brief description of how each one helps explains the origins of the behavior you investigated. 
4.) Give an example of a benefit to using each of the main research methods designs you’ve read about (experimental, correlational, qualitative, longitudinal, survey, and case-study) when it comes to studying your behavior of interest. 
5.) Compare and contrast your scholarly and non-scholarly sources. What were the most significant differences you noted in the quality of the argument posed by each source? Did skepticism or ambiguity intolerance come into play when you evaluated your non-scholarly source?

Dear Student,
I am responsible for creating programs for residents of Mellow Hills Estates, a community of homes for individuals aged 55 and over. Recently, I’ve become aware of the importance of addressing loneliness and fostering meaningful connections within our community. However, I am not sure what loneliness is, how to identify loneliness, or what strategies effectively build social connections, especially in my setting. 
I’ve also heard of “intergenerational contact” programs and wonder if they could help reduce loneliness and enhance social bonds.
Can you help me find existing information about these topics so that I can develop programs that foster connection and combat loneliness?
Thank you!

This segment includes any gaps or limitations in the research you were able to locate. Gaps in research are defined as themes, populations, topics, etc. that could be included in the research but were not. This means that if you were researching how families of soldiers returning from war with PTSD are affected and there was limited research on the emotional affects of toddlers, you could list that in this section. If your topic is on the benefits of cognitive-behavior therapy among college students and your research only found information on traditional college students, you could list in this section that non-traditional college students were not depicted in the research and future research studies might want to include this growing population their studies.
b. This section will vary on size depending on your research and might be a few paragraphs to a page or more long. It varies but be sure to discuss this section well.
