Personality Theories in Perspective: Honor Student or Killer?
In this discussion you will assume the role of a Psychology instructor creating a short graduate level presentation on personality. The case study for the presentation will center on Phillip Markoff, also known as an alleged Craigslist Killer.
To begin, choose one of the personality theories from the required readings and research a minimum of one peer-reviewed article on your chosen theory. (Found under reference: Harré, R. (2006). Key thinkers in psychology. Retrieved from the Credo database.) The personality theory being used is Hans Jürgen Eysenck’s neurophysiology:
“Eysenck was convinced that personality arose primarily from the neurophysiology of the individual. Differences in temperament must, therefore, be due to differences in the neurophysiology of individual human beings. These differences, in turn, were built in as individual genetic endowments. However, though the direction of causality was from neurophysiology to personality, the order of discovery was the reverse.” (Harre, 2006)
Create a PowerPoint presentation of four-seven slides (not including the title and reference slides). The presentation must begin with a Title slide that provides the title of the lecture, your name, the course name and number, your instructor’s name and the date submitted. The presentation must end with a
Reference slide that includes all the resources used for your lecture presentation cited in APA format.
The body of the presentation must include the following elements.
Provide a definition and brief description of the chosen theory.
Evaluate Phillip Markoff’s personality from the standpoint of your chosen theory.
Explain how the chosen theoretical perspective provides insights into Markoff’s behavior.
