Guidelines, Example Chart , and Scoring Guidelines for Theories/Models Comparison Charts
Basic Guidelines and Objective: It can be difficult to make distinctions between the various theoretical models studied in this course. Some of the theories/models use the same terms but might attach different meanings to them. Other theories use different terms to refer to similar concepts. To help, students are to create charts to compare major theories across several categories. The objective of these charts is to help distinguish the finer points between the theories with emphasis on classroom application of the theories.
Layout Directions: Microsoft Word is the preferred program to create your project. Suggestions for designing this project would be to create a table for each theory in Word and use page breaks between each theory. Choose the landscape option in Page layout and insert a 10-column (nine dimensions plus name of theory) by 2-row table (titles of dimensions, as illustrated below, and then details of each dimension). Use short statements and include definitions of terms if you are not sure of the meaning of some of the terminology. Since using bullet points causes information to automatically indent into your column space, you might consider using asterisks for your major points as shown in the Psychoanalytical example below. Another space-saving suggestion is to highlight your cells, choose the Layout tab, select Cell Margins, and set the default cell margins to 0”. Doing so allows you to maximize the use of space within the cells.
Information Sources: You can use your textbook and outside resources such as journals or internet sources (no Wikipedia), but you must properly cite and reference (must have a reference page which corresponds to all in-text citations) APA style (6th edition) all information you use from ALL sources used to answer your questions. Common terms/language relative to each theory can be used. Otherwise: PARAPHRASE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE--you will learn the particulars of the theories more easily if you can explain the information in your own words! Turnitin will be used to analyze your projects at the discretion of the instructor.
Be Creative: Use your creativity to create the project. For example, you can insert graphics or examples (your own) to further explain certain points. You can use colored fonts to differentiate between the theories/approaches/models and include pictures of either the theorist(s) or icons representative of each theory. Techniques like these make the project information more memorable.
Use the Charts: These charts can be used as part of your notes and will make excellent study guides when preparing for advanced testing.

| Theory | Basic Principles of Theory | Stages/Components | Classroom Application | Criticism/Problems | ||||
| Psychoanalytic Theory of Personality Development | * Sigmund Freud’s theory involves the belief that personality is formed from unconscious conflicts between the components of the mind--the id (what is immediately wanted), the ego (the mediator between the id and superego), and the superego (what is the right thing). *Freud postulated that personality develops during childhood and is influenced by five psychosexual stages; Freud called these stages his psychosexual theory of development. *During each stage, a youngster faces internal conflict between biological drives and social expectations; if the youngster can successfully steer through these internal conflicts, then he/she will master each developmental stage and ultimately develop a mature personality. (“Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality,” n.d.) |
(McLeod, 2017) | *Being aware of Freud’s psychosexual stages of development can help a teacher understand where students are regarding personality development and lead to a better understanding of individual differences, especially the motivation behind certain behaviors. *Activities for elementary classes might involve reading stories to children about making good choices in positive behaviors. *Activities for middle/high school that are based on this theory might include debates on controversial moral dilemmas such as who to save in a lifeboat (e.g., doctor or best friend); whether or not to take money/valuables found on the street; etc. (Sass, 2012) | *Freud focused only on the sexual aspect of personality development. He did not account for the social, emotional, or other aspects that lead to a mature personality. *Freud’s psychosexual stages were at fixed ages; maturation rates were not considered.
