Description
BEH 225 Introduction to Behavioral Science
Outline
Interview Profile Assignment
• Interview a person you feel comfortable asking about their personality and attitudes.
• Submit your Profile Report. For this project you will choose a person that is close to your own age and interview that person to learn more about them. In addition to the interview, compare and contrast the responses from your interview with your own responses to the same questions. Discuss the following:
o The learning and memory process. For instance, does the interviewee remember information more accurately if he/she observes the behavior being performed, or does he/she prefer to read how the behavior is performed? Does the interviewee prefer studying in a library, or at home where there are background noises and some distractions?
o Has the person you are interviewing taken the Myers Briggs test? Report the results. Does your interviewee feel these results are accurate? Why or why not? Which experiences does this person feel contributed most in the development of his/her personality?
o Does this person feel that he/she is self-monitoring in regards to his/her attitudes? How or how not? What does the interviewee feel was the strongest influence on his/her attitudes? What role does your interviewee feel a person’s race, gender, or ethnicity play when forming that person’s personality and attitudes?
o Does this person feel he/she is better at tasks when intrinsically motivated or extrinsically motivated?
• Your final project should fulfill the following requirements:
o Be 1,400-1,750 words in length
