What are the levels of personal dispositions, and how are they different from one another? Provide an example of each level.

NOTE: Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Gordon Allport conducted immense research in the field of personality in an attempt to define the term and how it is comprised.

He believed that personality is a product and a process, and it plays a large role in motivation. In his proposed structure of personality, personal dispositions are dynamic and help guide other dispositions (Feist, 2018). Consider the following:

What are the levels of personal dispositions, and how are they different from one another? Provide an example of each level.

What do other studies say about the concept of degrees of separation? Are the results from other studies similar and, if so, what does that tell us about the concept the text refers to as it being a “small world?” What encounters have you had regarding degrees of separation?

Remember how the discussion assignments work.

You need to respond to one discussion question with an essay of 400-600 words with at least two references. This is due by 11:59 pm (Central Time) on Thursday. By Sunday, you need to submit two responses of at least 75 words to people who, ideally, answered questions other than the one you answered.

Include the question you are answering at the beginning of the posting. If you notice that several people have answered a particular question, try to answer a different one.

The more different discussion topics we have, the better.

Here are the questions for Week Six:

1. Do opposites attract? After reading the chapter and researching this topic, what did you find about this question?

2. There is a research supported belief there is a small degree of separation between us and others. For example, a study of text communications (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/01/AR2008080103718.html?hpid=topnews) of 180 million people worldwide “concluded that any two people on average are distanced by just 6.6 degrees of separation, meaning that they could be linked by a string of seven or fewer acquaintances.”

What do other studies say about the concept of degrees of separation? Are the results from other studies similar and, if so, what does that tell us about the concept the text refers to as it being a “small world?” What encounters have you had regarding degrees of separation? For example, many years ago my wife and went to Disney World.

At a random restaurant a patron approached me and asked about the college logo on my shirt. Turns out, he attended the same undergraduate institution and knew several of the same professors.

3. What is the proximity effect? How does this concept play into establishing friendships and relationships?

4. Pick a theory of attraction and define the basic premises of the theory. How does this theory explain attraction? Does the theory take into account other possible methods of developing attraction or is it exclusive? What are the strengths and limitations of this theory?

5. Is there such a thing as a completely unselfish behavior? Explain you position with research.

Define Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Perspective including all five (5) levels of systems, making note of each of the systems as they are expressed in the film.

APPLICATION OF THE ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE TO A FILM

This assignment is a combination of demonstration of mastery of content as well as application of content to the characters/circumstances in the film

All written assignments require understanding of theoretical concepts and materials presented in classroom and readings.

This paper is an opportunity for you to apply what you have been learning this semester.

You are required to view the film “The Boys of Baraka” on your own time prior to session 7; this will be the basis of your midterm paper (we will discuss it in class).

The film is available on Vimeo at the link below:

https://vimeo.com/6948025 (Links to an external site.)

Choose two (2) of the main characters (among the “boys”).

Define Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Perspective including all five (5) levels of systems, making note of each of the systems as they are expressed in the film. You can speak in generalities (i.e. – the microsystems for the boys include their caregivers), but make sure it is specific to the film.

Select 2 of the 4 main characters in the film.

Through either a multidimensional OR life cycle perspective, discuss how each system interacts with these characters to inform their functioning and development.

Compare and/or contrast the differences or similarities between the environmental factors of these two characters.

Include elements of resource and resilience.

Include any value conflicts and personal biases that may have emerged for you in viewing the film.

You may use any and all required readings as well as 4 additional peer-reviewed journal articles.

This is an analysis not a film review. You are expected to apply acquired knowledge to your understanding of the development of the characters you’ve chosen.

Although you will focus on two characters, this paper is also about interlocking systems and the probable systemic impact on your character’s development.

Do not use online computer sites such as Wikipedia or sites that provide psycho-educational information. Use professional scholarly journals and texts only!

This paper should be presented in a scholarly fashion using APA-7 style citations and references. Make sure to include an Introduction and a Conclusion.

You may use headings to organize your paper if it helps.

Number your pages. This paper should be 4-5 pages double spaced (NO MORE). Proofread your paper before submission.
