Environmental Influence on Personality The Final Research Paper will be based on the topic, “Modern sociocultural, environmental and genetic influences on human personality“.
In this paper, the student will analyze current forces of either genetic influences, socio-cultural factors and/or environmental pressures on the personality as discussed by a theorist in the textbook. Your paper will integrate a classical personality theory of your choice (Freud, Jung, Horney, Sullivan, Adler etc.) with modern day influences on individuals’ personality and its evolution. The fundamental questions for this project are, “are the classical theories still relevant?”, “are personalities evolving from those discussed in the textbook?”, and finally, “if modern personalities are evolving, what is the impetus of this phenomenon?”.
