Doing Research and Drafting Your Paper

Pick one or two writers in the area of culture and personality and write a paper summarizing and discussing their contributions to the field.

  • You may pick your own individual(s)

  • Suggestions include, but are not limited to, the following:

A list of notable anthropologists -- Wikipedia

  • This Case Study can be either a biography, or a review of their theories, or a combination
    • but whichever overall approach you select be sure to include a discussion of their theories and contributions as they relate to culture and personality

  • Check information available at the UMD Library

  • For your Case Studies you may use both electronic resources and traditional library materials, and, where appropriate, interviews and videotapes
  • Also check the "Individuals" listed on the Other WebSites Page
    • Try getting more information by looking at sites on the web:

      • Try surfing the web by searching with the search engines found by clicking on the Web "Search" button found on the upper righthand corner all of the course WebPages

         

      • Hint: When you do a search on an item that has more than one word, like "culture and personality," use the "phrase" option of the search engine

        • otherwise it will search out everything with "culture" and everything with "personality," and the list of "hits" could get quite large

        • These keywords might be useful to your project:
          • culture and personality,
          • personality
          • modal personality
          • basic personality
          • psychological anthropology
          • cognitive anthropology
          • national character
          • ethnoscience
          • ethnosemantics
          • language and culture
          • cross cultural psychology
          • cross cultural psychiatry
          • cultural psychology
          • life history
          • projective tests
          • perception
          • cognition, motivation
          • evolutionary psychology
          • emic / etic
          • acculturation
          • dream analysis
          • cross cultural psychiatry
          • unobtrusive measures
          • abnormal behavior
          • abnormal psychology
          • altered states of conscience
          • spirit possession


      • See the "Preparing the Final Draft" section of the Sociology - Anthropology Writing Guide to see the details of what your Case Study report should look like when you hand it in

      • Due to WebDrop <https://webdrop.d.umn.edu>

      • This Case Study counts for 200 points, or 10.5% of your final grade
        • Unexcused late Case Study papers will result in a loss of 2.5% of the final course grade

    • Criteria for Grading College Writing

    • Suggestion: Don't put off the Case Study assignment. The web doesn't always work when you want it to, and the library does not always have the book when you need it most.
