Cognitive and Social-Cognitive Theory

Assignment: Case Study Analysis–Cognitive and Social-Cognitive Theory

The Module Assessment in Week 8 is a personality theory case study analysis that will be developed during Weeks 2 – 8. The Module Assessment is based on a case study found in your Learning Resources, “The Case of Mrs. C.”

This week you examined personality theories from the cognitive and social-cognitive theoretical orientation. Supported by the information you gathered in your Personality Theory Matrix, analyze the case of Mrs. C based on one theory from the cognitive or social-cognitive orientation examined this week. The case study analysis considers Mrs. C’s symptoms (including cultural considerations) and offers relevant assessments and interventions for her case. Additionally, it must be supported by scholarly materials from research of reputable sources.

To Prepare
  • Review the Learning Resource, “The Case of Mrs. C.”
  • Review the Personality Theory Matrix information about the cognitive and social-cognitive theoretical orientation and its corresponding theories.
