Applying Personality Theories to TV Characters
Think of a potentially interesting television character to focus upon (a favorite character or one with a particularly vivid or unique personality. Select your character. Focus upon a specific episode of the show that features the character.
Write a two to three page essay in which you briefly describe the circumstances and plot of the episode. Devote the remainder of your essay explaining your character’s behavior in terms of one of the major personality theories (e.g. Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Trait, or Learning).
Additional Points:
· You may use more than one theoretical perspective
· You are not restricted to characters with negative or maladaptive personalities (healthy characters are interesting too!)
· Feel free to be creative and original in your application of the theory

Is it okay if we type our essay?
typing is always acceptable except for taking notes--I like typing/word processing
can we turn in the extra credit on tuesday for less points, or no?
