Throughout this course, many opportunities are available to post an initial response to a Discussion topic as well as to respond to your classmate’s responses.

After you have completed the reading, and without reviewing your classmate’s responses, post your initial response to the following Discussion. Your post should be at least 200–250 words in length and should extend the discussion of the group supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources.

After you have submitted your initial post, review some of your classmate’s posts and respond to at least 2 of your classmates. Please review the Discussion Board Participation Rubric under Course Resources.

Evolutionary Approach

1. Discuss your understanding of the theory of evolution. Explain how the concept of natural selection might be applied to the development of personality. Explain one emotional response or social behaviors that might be derived from natural selection.

Genetic/biological Approach

2. Develop a treatment plan for a client with ADHD using the genetic and biological theories of personality development.

3. Explain how Eysenck’s approach compares with the other theories related to genetic and biological aspects of personality development. What are the benefits of each of these theories?
