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. Kohn follows B.F. Skinner. He also considers himself a behaviorist overall. He focuses more on external behavior of B. F. Skinner and Albert Bandura’s research/theories. Dr. Kohn also believes that behavior is a human construct. He talks about how he met Dr. Edward Wilson who believes that genetics played an influence on our behaviors. 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: Dr. Kohn mentions Skinner and that his approach was that our personality is affected by our behavior Take-Away #2: Dr. Kohn notes he is a cognitive psychologist Take-Away #3: Theories do not fit every details as theories are human constructs 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: Dr. Kohn praises Skinner and follows behind his work. I like Skinner too because his whole approach is about how to control our personalities/behaviors B). What I liked Least (or would like to have heard more about): I wished he talked more about Wilson. He did not go into any further detail about his interactions
and conversations with him. C). My overall rating: (1 to 5 stars): ____ 4.8 _______
