For your summative assessment, you will conduct an investigation of the foundational research in personality psychology. You will need to conduct a literature review of the research presented in the course. This research will include both classic and current foundational research from the field. You will analyze the research presented in the course to determine how what we know about personality has changed over time as well as how researchers have approached the study of personality. You will also considerthe issues of ethics that are or are not addressed in the research. Following your review of the research, you will identify a gap (or unexplored topic within the research) and develop a research question designed to further explore your gap. This will include how the research supports your research question and how you would approach addressing your research question. Specifically, the following critical elementsmust be addressed: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 historyof 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 researchin 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 foundationa lresearch 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 inpersonality 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 claim
