Gap Identification
Based upon your review of the articles in your chosen track, identify a gap in the personality psychology research presented in the course that is unexplored or underdeveloped. For example, is there an unexplored aspect of personality psychology you believe could be further explored?
There have been quite a few studies conducted about how the placement of a child within the family dynamics when it comes to birth order on their personality along with how looking into attachment theory and its affect on personality. These are all valid studies but there haven’t been much in the neighborhood on how the number of parents within a household makeup affects a child’s personality and overall outlook.
Research Question
Develop a basic research question addressing the identified gap. In other words, create a question that further investigates your identified gap and that you could answer through research.
What role does the number of parents in a household play in a child’s personality development?
