Instruction
Part 1 think about how Freud would explain this behavior. How would Skinner or Bandura explain it? Provide a thorough explanation of the teen's behavior from at least four (4) of the theories listed below:
• Freud's psychosexual theory
• Erickson's psychosocial theory
• Skinner's behavioral theory
• Bandura's social cognitive theory
• Piaget's constructivism
• Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model
• Genetic influences (e.g., shared environmental influences, and non-shared environmental influences)
Part 2 Choose one of your four explanations from Part 1. Design an experiment to test a research question from your explanation. For example, if you chose Freud's theory to explain the teenager's behavior, you might attribute the teen's risk-taking behavior to having an underdeveloped superego. How would you test this theory?
Be sure to identify your hypothesis, dependent and independent variables, and describe how you will maintain experimental control.
