Psychobiography Draft Paper ***ONLY SECTIONS 1 AND 2 ARE DUE FOR THE "DRAFT PAPER" ASSIGNMENT DUE ON 10/24/18*** ***YOU MUST TAKE YOUR DRAFT TO THE WRITING CENTER AND SUBMIT A RECEIPT FROM THE CENTER ALONG WITH YOUR DRAFT (PLEASE SEE SYLLABUS FOR DETAILS)*** FINAL PAPER DUE 11/28/18 A psychobiography is the answer to the question, “Why is this person like he/she is?” Psychobiography uses explanation and interpretation of the events, relationships, attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of a person’s life to explain the person they are today (or the person they were before they died). In other words, psychobiography looks at the person’s whole life in an effort to understand their personality. Psychobiography is not only biography—biographical information is included, but as part of the whole. In biography the aim is to tell the story of a life; in psychobiography the aim is to make sense of or understand a life. Another important point—psychobiography is NOT about diagnosing a person. While you may report a diagnosis they were given by a qualified physician, you are not to make diagnosis of mental problems the point of your paper. APA format: • Please note that ALL text references and your reference page should be in APA style (papers not in APA style will have a point reduction). Students tend to lose unnecessary points due to not following APA style. Don't let this be you--APA style is only about formatting (it is easy once you get the hang of it!). • For those of you not familiar with APA style, you should either consult an APA style manual in the library, or the following sites can give you useful guidance: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01 http://lgdata.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/docs/1071/342890/apa-references.pdf Plagiarism: A note on plagiarism: It is very easy to be tempted to plagiarize on this paper—DON’T DO IT! Writing for this class must be yours and only yours—completely original and written for the first time by you. Any words (including direct quotes and paraphrasing) that are not fully and completely the result of your own individual thought process must be cited using APA format. If plagiarism is found in your paper, you will receive zero points for your paper, and possibly a failing grade in the class and/or an Academic Honesty report. Your paper will be checked using Turnitin. Quotes: You may include one--and only one--direct quote of no more than two sentences in your paper. ANY paper that has more direct quotes than this (whether they are properly cited or not) will have deductions. ANY paper that features more than 10% of its body as direct quotes (whether properly cited or not) may receive a zero for the assignment. Assignment: You will write a 6-8 page paper using the following guidelines: • You may choose one of the following six people about whom to write your psychobiography. You may not choose a person not on this list. Michael Jackson John F. Kennedy Fidel Castro Eva Peron Princess Diana Albert Schweitzer Please note that I am aware that various web sites and books may contain psychobiographies of some or all of the above mentioned individuals. Do NOT plagiarize from any source. Section 1 • Write a short biography of the person from childhood to his or her death. This should include the high and low points of the person’s experiences. This section should clearly set the stage for the theory that you choose in Section 2. This section should be no more than two pages. Section 2 • Choose one of the personality theorists from your text book and using specific concepts and ideas from his/her theory, trace the personality development of the person you have chosen. o Being specific about the concept or concepts you are using is important….For example, if you are using Freud as your theorist, you might trace the resolution of the Odedipus Complex for the person you have chosen. **Please be very clear when you are moving from section 2 to section 3 in your paper--use section labels. If it is not clear that you have moved to section 3, I can't give you credit for it.** Section 3 • Choose one of the following psychological concepts and trace the development of this concept from the person’s childhood to adulthood. In other words, you should take the concept and trace it from it’s roots in childhood to its culmination in adulthood. You should use specific examples from the person’s life AND different theorists to explain how this concept has developed in the person. Remember that you are tracking these as an aspect of the person, not as an aspect of an environment. • Please note that you will be unable to trace the development of this concept if you cannot or do not find out information about the person’s childhood. If you can’t establish a basis for the concept in the person’s childhood, then perhaps you should choose a different concept or a different person to write about. o Aggression o Honesty o Achievement o Aspirations o Anxiety o Motivation o Coping o Delay of gratification o Humor o Sexuality o Creativity o Spirituality o Masculinity/femininity o Shyness o Extraversion o Altruism o Conformity o Peacemaking/beneficence o Empathy o Competition o Inferiority o Sociability

MICHAEL JACKSON’S PSYCHOBIOGRAPHY

Abstract
Michael Jackson was a famous musical icon not just in the U.S but all across the globe.
Even in his death, he remains one of the treasured musical personalities. The king of pop as he
would be known at times was a people's person. He loved people, and a good share of his songs
was about inspiring the world population. So many copies of his albums have so far been sold
after his demise. Some of his money is directed to charitable organizations while others monies
are for his family. In spite of being loved by many people, Michael occasionally kept out of the
public attention. As a child, he suffered emotional and physical abuse from his father, Joseph
Jackson. As a result, his entire adulthood spin around childhood memories. Michael hid from the
public, and sometimes he would instruct his security guards not to let anyone interfere with his
free time. His father made him a gloomy and sad child because Michael was expected to do so
much in his musical career for the sake of pleasing his father. At a certain point in life, he was
accused of child abuse cases. Lack of sufficient evidence, however, saw him walk free. He
surpassed almost all barriers to becoming the world's respected pop star.

The founding members were Jackie, Jermaine, and Tito. Later on, Michael joined the trio, and
henceforth he was made the leader of the group (Reuters, 2013). The Jackson five came into
being upon the entry of Marlon Jackson into the group. Of all the members, Michael was the
naughty one at times, and in spite of this, his father put all the efforts towards making the
Jackson five a successful singing group.
Michael had a troubled and strenuous relationship with his father, and as a result, his
father ended up inflicting emotional and physical harm to Michael. The Jackson five established
