Cognitive, Behavioral, and Social Learning Approaches
This week we are looking at more learning- based models of personality theory. Review the theories of George Kelly (Schultz & Schultz, 2017, pp. 297-303), B. F. Skinner (Schultz & Schultz, 2017, pp. 321-332), and Albert Durand (Schultz & Schultz, 2017, pp. 343-353). Discuss how these theories differ from previously discussed theories and what they bring to our understanding of personality.
Let’s make personal application of these theories to your own personality. What insights have you gained about your own personality?
