Final Project Theory And Topic Selection

Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

Final Project Topics
Choose one of the following:
• Habits (their development and/or perpetuation)
• Risk-taking behavior
• Academic achievement (success and/or challenges)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Healthy intimate relationships
• Group affiliations (e.g., religious, political, friendships, special interests)
• Pain management
• Occupational success and/or challenges
• Stereotypes (e.g., gender, racial, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status)
• Select two theories you will address in your final project.
• When selecting two theories, consider whether each theory could:
o explain the origins and development of your topic
o be used to develop strategies or programs to benefit human development relevant to your topic
o address cultural differences or diversity considerations relevant to your topic
o meet the characteristics of a good theory relevant to your topic
• Keep in mind that the theories you select might not meet all these criteria; you will discuss the strengths and limitations of the theories as part of your final project.
