Psy 203T Week 4 Discussion Personality And Health Psychology

Discussion Prompt: Select 1 prompt below and respond in a minimum of 200 words: • Read the case of... Mike and Marty Scanlon, The Unlikely Twins on pg 398. How would Freud explain the personality differences between Mike and Marty? Do Mike and Marty appear to have different types of intelligence or do they exhibit intelligence in different ways? (Remember, the focus of discussion is to show off what you have learned from the readings - Chapter 9's readings focused on personality and intelligence. Information from the case study does not count as course material) • Read Speaking of Success: Stephanie C. Lewis on page 399. Each aspect of the Big Five Personality traits is a spectrum for two extremes, i.e. Agreeableness ranges from sympathetic, kind and appreciative to fault-finding, cold, and unfriendly. Discuss where Stephanie falls on the spectrum of each personality trait. What types of intelligences does Stephanie seem to demonstrate? (Remember, the focus of discussion is to show off what you have learned in the readings, not solve all Stephanie's problems. Information from the case study does not count as course material.) • Suppose you are assigned to develop an advertisement for a product for the local newspaper and a store front. How might the theories of persuasion discussed in Chapter 12 guide you to suit the different audiences who see the ad? (Remember, I am not asking you to design an advertisement or discussing marketing theory. I am asking you how the theories of persuasion discussed in Chapter 12 would guide you in the process.) Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.
