If you do not include any in-text citations in this assignment, you will receive a zero.

This is where you have the opportunity to find research to support your position on each of the items listed below. For example, you may believe that personality is based on nuture and that nature only plays a small part. In this case, you will want to find research that supports this stance. This is the information that you will include under the heading nature versus nurture.
