Explain gender differences in the study of personality

use theories from three of the chapters in the last half of our class to explain your personality, and contrast those views with the psychodynamic interpretations in your first essay.

Do not rely solely on the text. At a minimum, cite four additional (peer reviewed) references

in APA format in addition to our textbook. Use personality assessment or tests where useful to make a point about your personality

Full assignment is 8 pages, which includes a title page and a reference page. This

allows for 5 pages of actual content.

Paraphrase rather than quote, and when quoting, no more than a few lines (2-3)

embedded in the text. Give a page number for direct quotes.

Visual aids (any graphics: tables, pictures, graphs) must be part of appendices after the

reference page and not included within the text. In the text, refer to appropriate appendix and fig. or table (e.g., see appendix). While appreciated, these are not counted toward the pages of your assignment.

One-inch margins (all-around)

Fonts: Arial, Calibri, Times Roman or Courier New, size 12 or smaller—no bold or italics.

Note: The teacher wants a similar essay as first personality essay, but in this one we will use terms mentioned in the two new power points I’ve sent to you
