Thanks The Research Paper is due on Saturday of Week Six. Each student will pick one historical theorist featured in the text but not discussed extensively in class. They include: Alfred Adler Gordon Allport Steven Pinker B. F. Skinner Kurt Lewin Karen Horney Carl Jung Roger Sperry Milicent W. Shinn John Broadus Watson George Kelly Ethel Puffer Howes Carl Rogers Rollo Reese May Mary Calkins Students will perform in-depth research on their chosen theorist and present his/her findings in an 6-8 page paper (excluding the title page, abstract, reference page, and Annotated Bibliography) which will address the following sections: Your Final Paper should include the following: Title page in APA format (Times New Roman, 12 font only) The below areas are required subheadings that must be included within your paper. Biography: A biography of the theorist (1-2 pages). The biography portion of the paper should be brief and relevant to the purpose of the paper (Written in third person, Times New Roman, 12 font only). Contributions: A detailed explanation of the theorist's most important contribution to the field (what they are best known for) and description of their empirical research methodologies (2-3 pages) (Written in third person, Times New Roman, 12 font only). Evaluation: A critical evaluation of the theory from industry professionals (what are the challenges, strengths, limitations of the theory in psychology today?) (2-3 pages). (Written in third person, Times New Roman, 12 font only). Personal Response: A personal response to the theory written in 3rd person. Using the concepts contained within your chosen theory, evaluate how you see the components of this theory in your everyday life.
