Description
Griffen, Mroczek, and Wesbecher (2015) describe the contextualist perspective which proposes that personality is highly malleable and susceptible to environmental influences. This perspective, does not necessarily rule out traits or broad temperamental dispositions. However, it focuses attention on life transitions and context-bound constructs such as personal goals and social skills.
Your task this week is to critically analyze how the following theorists have incorporated the criteria of personal goals, social skills, traits and temperament into their work as well as context-bound constructs.
- George Kelly
- Albert Bandura
- Walter Mischel
- Albert Ellis
- Aaron Beck
Support your analysis with at least five references from scholarly resources.
