Based upon your personal interests in psychology, you will select an area – abnormal, developmental, organizational, police, military, forensic, etc. – and determine how personality theory’s application has evolved in the selected area. For example, perhaps new personality assessments and tests have been used to identify employee integrity; a study has identified the best personality mix for work team; or, perhaps research has proposed a new way to evaluate abnormal behavior.
Be sure your analysis addresses the following:
Identify the key theoretical perspective(s) you have reviewed in this course that have influenced the development of the selected field.
Discuss the impact of cultural influences on personality as applied to the selected field.
Note any ethical challenges that might exist in applying personality testing or conducting personality research in the selected field.
Suggest what new research opportunities exist to expand the application of personality theory in the selected field.
Locate at least 10 articles from peer-reviewed journals and other scholarly sources that support your investigation. The research you utilized in developing your Annotated Outline can be reused. However, these resources should be supplemented in the areas that were indicated by your instructor.
