College Paper

In this assignment, you are being asked to pick one cultural difference in personality and write a brief paper about it. You might find an idea in the perspective section of this module, in one of your assigned readings, or through the Saint Leo University library’s online database. For example, there’s a fascinating article by Schaller and Murray (2008) in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology entitled “Pathogens, Personality, and Culture: Disease Prevalence Predicts Worldwide Variability in Sociosexuality, Extraversion, and Openness to Experience”. The paper you’re being asked to write should: Summarize the research findings in the area; Take an evaluative approach to the methods (that is, evaluate the quality of the research methods without editorializing. So, do not write anything like “it was easy to understand” or even worse “i like the article”. The second is not only editorial and amateurish, but also written in 1st person. Your submission, like the rest, should be written in 3rd person; and, finally; Present implications of the research findings for researchers and practitioners. Use at least 2 sources (not including anything from your textbook or the Personality Reader). Remember, sources are not the same thing as resources. Sources are academically credible journal articles or primary source books (not textbooks). Resources are things like textbooks, Wikipedia, web pages, and magazine and newspaper articles. In this class, expect to use academically credible sources and to lose points when you use resources instead of sources. Make your submission at least 2 ½ to 3 pages total (not including title page or reference page), typed, double spaced and in 12-point Times New Roman font. Include a title page and reference page, both in APA format (as the entire submission should be).
