Advertising According to Erikson (2)

A 4 page paper reviewing three articles of studies featuring Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development in the individual.

Aging and Cognitive Development: Maintaining Mental Agility
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the relationship between cognitive function and age. In the past a consensus has existed in the scientific community that declines in cognitive function is an irreversible impact of age, that mental frailty is an inevitable part of late adulthood. Today, however, developmentalists seem to be altering this attitude to one which recognizes that an individual’s participation in certain activities can have a positive impact on the retention of mental agility.

Albert Ellis' ABC Model of Rational-Emotive Theory
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page paper provides an overview of this issue. Alfred Ellis considered the value of defining links between the philosophical and the therapeutic through an understanding of what he described as "rational-emotive theory." Ellis recognized the value of applying some substantial philosophical perspectives to an understanding of man's central perceptions in the world, and to the development of spiritual, social and contextual elements of the persona. In other words, the rational-emotive theory of Ellis recognized that man is more than just a responsive being controlled by reactions to stimulus; man is shaped by social factors and by variations in perception relative to both rational perspectives and emotional responses.

Alcohol’s Effect on Personality
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the relation of alcohol and personality from several perspectives. Research indicates that more aggressive types are more likely to drink to excess; other researchers point to alcohol-induced interruption of brain activity as likely being cumulative and lasting, long after alcohol has left the drinker’s system. Still others address the effects of personality on the likelihood of success in alcohol treatment. It seems reasonable to say that personality affects individuals’ reactions to alcohol and even whether individuals drink at all. Though there has been a great deal of research into the relationship between alcohol and personality, the best information to date still seems to be anecdotal evidence. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
