Interviews with the Experts: Assignment Sheet
The Interviews with the Experts Videos are intended to extend your understanding of the
material in the textbook by giving you a behind-the-scenes look at aspects of personality and its
application by some of the leaders in the field. There are no right or wrong answers, but your
grade will be based on the nature, quality, and relevance of your responses.
1. Imagine that you are writing a brief description of this video for people who are
considering watching it. How would you characterize or summarize it (in 50-75 words).
- Dr. Burger, a social psychologist, describes his experience with the sub-discipline of
Personality and how that came to influence the writing of his textbook “Personality”. Dr.
Burger talks about the changes within the field of psychology he has experienced as he
continues to write new editions of his textbooks, and also discusses where he believes the
field of Personality will go next.
2. Identify any three “take-aways” that you got from this video. These could be any points
that it made, thoughts that it sparked, or issues or applications that it discussed.
Take-Away #1: Cognitive psychology and social psychology is merging to a point that it
is becoming hard to keep the two approaches separate.
Take-Away #2: Personality is a good taste of a wide spectrum of different psychology
disciplines due to this specialization having a lot of different approaches within it.
Take-Away #3: As psychology continues to grow, different approaches will go in and out
of influence and popularity, however, that does not mean those approaches are no longer
important.
3. Imagine that you are writing a review of this video that summarizes your evaluation of it.
Please indicate what you liked BEST and LEAST about the video and give it a rating
(based on a 5-star system). Note that the evaluation of your response is based on your
identifying the things you liked BEST and LEAST, and your assignment of rating, and
NOT the number stars you give it or whether you liked or disliked the video. Your
evaluations will be helpful in relation to encouraging you to reflect more deeply on the
video and provide us with feedback that can be useful in relation to the value of the
video’s use in the future. Be sure to identify:
A) What I liked Best:
- I liked the conversation about where psychology is going. Hearing from an expert
about the future of psychology was really interesting to hear, especially as
someone who is very interested in the field. Thinking about the fact that we will
most likely see more biological limits being talked about psychology is really
interesting.
B) What I liked Least (or would like to have heard more about):
