Description The Penn State psychology department is hiring a historical figure! Select one historical figure from the field and create a brief historical resume for them based on their actual life events. Below is a list of some potential candidates to consider for the project. If you wish to use someone not on this list, please make sure you have your instructor’s approval before you start. Potential Historical Figures to Consider for the Assignment Erik Erikson Joyce Brothers Leon Festinger Maria Montessori Carl Jung Lawrence Kohlberg Stanley Milgram Helen T. Woolley Ivan Pavlov Burrhus F. Skinner Edward Thorndike Reiko True John Watson David Wechsler Wilhelm Wundt Edward Titchener Francis Galton Diana Baumrind William James Uri Bronfenbrenner Francis Cecil Sumner Mary W. Calkins Karen Horney John Bowlby Margaret F. Washburn Mary Ainsworth James Cattell Diane Fossey Edward Tolman Clark L. Hull Muriel Lezak Max Wertheimer Eleanor J. Gibson Alfred Binet Carol Gilligan Noam Chomsky Herman von Helmholtz Gustav Fechner Abraham Maslow Olivia Hooker Gordon Allport Inez Beverly Prosser Pierre Flourens Ruth Winifred Howard Franz Gall Mamie Phipps Clark Aaron Beck Alberta Banner Turner John Dewey Anna Freud Brenda Milner William Stern Melanie Klein Hugo Munsterberg Florence Denmark Leta Stetter Hollingworth Jean Piaget Mary Cover Jones Herman George Canaday Instructions The resume should include the following elements: Brief Personal Information/History: This should include their name, major city & country of origin, birth date, and a picture of the individual. Additionally, this section should have a short paragraph outlining a little about the individuals personal history. This section could reflect their family life or possibly certain challenges or tragedies they may have overcome. You should also consider including a “special notes” section where you could mention something particularly unusual yet fascinating that you learned about the individual. Note, this doesn’t have to relate directly to psychology, but could be something related to their personal life. This special note doesn’t need to be more than a couple sentences but can be longer if desired. Objective: A quick statement or two of the type of positions the historical figure might be seeking along with the major focus area of that position. Educational Background: school names, years attended, degrees earned, and areas of interest and/or study. Do your best to dig up as much of this information you can through various resources. Employment history: An outline of their major work/job experience(s). Again, do your best to dig up as much information here through multiple resources. Accomplishments and Awards: Any awards or honors that they received for certain achievements that you can find. This can also include significant life events, which shaped their perspective on psychology and/or the history of the field. Primary Areas of Interest and Study: Here you should start by listing the area of psychology that is most associated with your historical figure (e.g. developmental, physiological, cognitive, etc.). Then, provide a couple of examples of specific areas and/or ideas that the individual contributed to this area. Finally, also include a list of any other areas of interest/study associated with your historical figure – both related to and outside of the field of psychology. Major Publications (References): Provide a list of major publications that are associated with your historical figure. Think of those papers, books, talks or book chapters they may be proudest to display on a resume. Summary of One Piece of Work: Then, provide a description of one of those references to demonstrate you understand the content of that reference. Here, try to get ahold of the original source (if possible) rather than relying on secondary sources/descriptions. Resume Project Sources: Finally, provide a reference list of the resources you used to complete the project. It would be expected that you would have to enlist the help of at least 3-5 resources to have a comprehensive project. Please avoid using resources (such as Wikipedia or About.com) which may be questionable on content accuracy. Acceptable resources tend to be peer reviewed such as book or book chapters written by someone with a degree in psychology, published articles (e.g. via PsycINFO) or websites written by reputable organizations (e.g. APA) related to psychology. Quick Note: There is an example resume on CANVAS (Granville Stanley Hall), which can provide you with a basis on how to go about constructing your own historical resume. While the resume should be as comprehensive as possible and involve multiple sources, the total length of the project should not exceed 3 pages. If you have questions, please let us know!
