People seem to differ in their “moods.” Some people are commonly “upbeat” and “lively.” Others seem lower in energy. Some people seem commonly to be depressed. How does social cognitive theory explain these individual differences? Does it? Might this be a limitation to the social-cognitive approach?

Choose a particular topic area from the class or textbook (e.g., motor development) and review how research on it relates to the 6 major themes of development that have been described throughout the course (detailed in the 2nd class lecture, in particular):
1. Nature vs Nurture  
2. The Active Child  
3. Continuity vs. Discontinuity
4. Mechanism of developmental change
5. Sociocultural context
6. Individual differences
Describe how research in your chosen area exemplifies each theme.  For example, if you chose the development of personality/temperament, you would describe how the research relates to the Nature/Nurture theme by describing studies showing that some traits like aggression can be inherited from your parents (and so on for each of the 6 themes). 
This is not intended to be a research paper. In theory, you could write this paper only having read the textbook and attending class, however, you can include any outside material that interests you and adds to your argument. 
*Please be sure to cite any sources you use and be extra careful to use only your own words. Include a bibliography for anything you cite. Any incidents of plagiarism will result in a zero on the assignment and a charge filed with the academic honesty board that could result in an ‘F’ in the class. 
*This paper should be between 8-10 double spaced pages (not including an optional reference page).
*Please include separate section headings for each of the 6 themes.
