Review the major theoretical models ,  including the neuroscience, evolutionary, behavior genetics, psychodynamic,  behavioral, cognitive, and social-cultural theoretical models.
  Think about the major subfields in psychology and the types of  research questions that they typically address.
  Consider the relative strengths and weaknesses of various research  designs, including descriptive, correlational, and experimental research  designs.
  Select one of the following examples of a  specific behavior of interest to a psychologist to use in this assignment:

• Aggressive behavior in 10-year-olds
• Overeating by 16-year-olds
• Drug and alcohol use by 19-year-olds
• Anxious behavior in 50-year-olds

The assignment (1 – 2 pages):

For the selected behavior, compare and contrast how two  of the following theoretical models would explain or account for the specific  behavior:

• Neuroscience
• Evolutionary
• Behavior genetics
• Psychodynamic
• Behavioral
• Cognitive
• Social-cultural

Identify and briefly describe the subfield of psychology from  which a researcher with an interest in that specific behavior might come.
  Choose one of these research designs —  descriptive, correlational, or experimental— and briefly describe a  hypothetical study about the specific behavior that you chose. For example, you  might describe how a psychologist would conduct a correlational study to  identify behaviors that likely are associated with the specific behavior that  you chose. Demonstrate in your example that you understand the basics of the  research design, as well as its relative strengths and weaknesses
