I chose this Psychology prompt because it is a topic that interests me. In the future, I may begin pursuing it as a second major. Once I began reading the topic area, I found so many different, controversial points of view. My subject dealt with the overall development of personality. During my research stages, I found various elements that indicated that my topic wasn’t going to be as straight forward as I thought. In the end,  my personal opinion was shifted because I too was under the assumption that personality was merely genetics.

required: One will be about how you found the research process– was this how you thought a University paper is put together?  Will you adopt or alter a method you’ve tried during the course of this project? 

 When I began my research, I had no idea what it would entail. Now, I have a better understanding of what I should be doing for any research paper/ project. I do like the concept of blogging, because not only am I able to see my progression, but in the end, I have a record of all of the steps of research that I have overcome. In the future, I can definitely see myself using this method.
