- The introduction
- The literature review which examines specific components or tenets of the theory and criticisms and advantages of the theory
- The application of the selected theory to the real-world topic you chose in Module 1
In this assignment, you will pull the pieces together into a cohesive paper that you will submit as a final paper. In order to do so, write a conclusion section that synthesizes the points made in the paper and conveys their significance to the field of personality theory. The conclusion can also point to implications for practice or further research on the personality theory and the situation you have analyzed.
