How do people remember?
? Interview a person you feel comfortable asking about
their personality and attitudes.
? Submit your Profile Report. For this project you will
choose a person who 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 question. You
will report your findings in an informative 1,400- to 1,750-word paper,
formatted according to APA guidelines, and containing the following elements:
o 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?
o 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.
o Does your interviewee feel these results are
accurate? Why or why not?
o 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?
o What does the interviewee feel was the strongest
influence on his/her attitudes?
o 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?
