Subject: Psychology Personality and Life Course Development – Please read the attached `assignment brief` document very carefully as it has key details on the assignment and what should be included in it, e.g. diagram for the theoretical model. It also details how the assignment is marked. – I`ve also attached a document, `Proposal idea summary with feedback`. This is a brief summary of what I want the research proposal to be about and it has comments given as feedback for the summary. Again, please read this carefully as it has key details about the topic of the assignment and other sections e.g. the analysis I would like to use. -I`ve also attached a powerpoint, `TESSSERA Explained` which provides details of this theory and has examples of diagrams and extracts from previous research proposals that have used TESSERA and apply it to their topic. This is important to go over as it can give a better idea in terms of what I`m looking for for the research proposal write up. For more information, the reference for the TESSERA is: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1088868316652279 -I`ve also attached a document, `Template for Proposal` which is where the 6 page assignment should be written. Please use this and stick to the format on the template (Times New Roman, 12 point, double spaced, 2.54cm margins, first line of each paragraph indented, no extra spacing before or after each paragraph). -Please include an APA reference list at the end and cite in APA style throughout the assignment. Only use psychological journal article from other researchers in the field as references. I haven`t been told to use a specific number of sources but the 25 is based on past 6 page assignments I`ve done. Please use references to backup points, justify choices made for the proposal e.g. sample size etc. The background and aims of the project section should include relevant literature showing why this is an important/interesting/sensible/novel project, and state how/why your project is pertinent to development. Please keep me updated on progress and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
