PSY 491 Milestone One: Theories of Personal Change

What do you know about Theories of Personal Change?

PSY 491 Module One Milestone Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

In this milestone, you will examine various definitions of social change identity and the ways in which these definitions align with the attitudes, beliefs, and ideals that reflect your identity. You will revisit the social change initiative that you discuss in this milestone assignment as you complete Project One.

Prompt

For this activity, you will first research and review five scholarly resources that include varying definitions of social change identity. In an annotated bibliography format, you will summarize and cite the definitions of social change identity from each resource, then respond to the following criteria:

· Record and cite five scholarly 
resources that include varying definitions of social change identity.

· Identify three 
themes that emerged from the researched definitions.

· Describe which of the three themes you feel has the greatest 
personal significance to you and why.

· Describe which of the three themes you believe has the greatest 
societal significance and why.

Note: In your research, you may find it challenging to locate resources that explicitly include the phrase “social change identity”. In fact, it is far more likely that you will find resources that loosely connect the concepts of “social change” and “identity”. As you may assume, the way in which each of us conceptualize “social change identity” is a matter of subjective perception. Therefore, please remain open minded and creative in your thought process as you develop your unique interpretation of this concept.

Next, you will address the following in 4 to 5 sentences per criterion, citing your sources in APA style:

· Describe a 
theory of personal change that best reflects your character and/or values and explain why. Refer to the 
Theories of Personal Change document (located in the Module One Reading and Resources area) to justify your response.

· Describe how a 
social change initiative of your choice aligns with your personal ideals.

All sources and ideas requiring attribution must be cited according to APA style.
