Explain how psychology relates to the concept of adjustment (2 points). 2. Explain what is meant by the paradox of progress by providing an example of the paradox of progress (please use your own example, rather than using one from the lecture/text) (3 points). 3. Explain one research design (experiment, correlation, survey, case study, naturalistic), including the strengths and weaknesses to the approach (3 points). Chapter 2 (separate your response to each question into its own paragraph): 1. Choose one personality theory either psychoanalytic, behavioral classical conditioning, behavioral operant conditioning, or behavioral social cognitive theory), humanistic, or biological that you feel best explains personality. Based on the theory you chose, provide an example of how the theory you chose explains how personality is shaped (2 points). For instance, if I chose humanistic theory, I might explain how a young female adult feels bad given feedback from others. That adult only feels worthy if she does something well and therefore has developed incongruence, meaning her ideal and actual self do not overlap very much. If that adult had experienced acceptance without any conditions (unconditional positive regard), then she would feel like a worthy person regardless of the feedback received. Do not use my example.
