Erik Erikson: Biography and Theory
[ send me this paper ]
20 pages in length. Erik Homberger Erikson, born near Frankfort, Germany in 1902, was the son of Danish parents whose collective aspirations amounted to a tremendous impact upon better understanding human behavior. The foundation of Erikson's prolific influence upon mankind's developmental activities began in an unconventional manner by virtue of art and language courses when one might readily expect him to be immersed within the bounty of science studies more indicative of his ultimate contributions. His distaste for conventional education compelled him to glean a more worldly instruction as only life experiences can provide; as such, he eschewed formal schooling and went to Europe. Erikson's intersection with psychology arrived when he began as an art instructor for American children whose parents traveled to obtain Freud's enlightenment in Vienna. From there he attended the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute, which led the way for his entrance into America and ultimate status as the first child analyst of Boston; a position at Harvard Medical School soon followed with others at Berkeley, Yale and the Menninger Foundation. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Factors Influencing Personality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis of the many factors which can influence personality and the degree to which personality either stays stable or varies over time. While there is undoubtedly a connection between genetics and personality, a far more important determinant is culture and the manner and degree to which an individual interacts with others. It can be proposed, in fact, that the degree to which an individual’s personality changes over time is determined by such factors as social interaction, experiences, and sometimes even disease or the use of drugs or alcohol.
