[Note: Create an outline for this section of your final paper using an outline format. Outline format should include bulleted information with letter or number labels to indicate organization strategy.
The outline does not need to include full paragraphs.
The outline must include in-text citations for resources you intend to use in that section. Failure to use in-text citations suggests that there is no research-based support for that portion of the paper, which is likely to lead to grade penalties for that section of the rubric.
Please do not change the order of the content that is required for the assignment. However, you may add extra paragraphs for sections that require more information based on the content you wish to convey.]

References must be in alphabetical order. The list of references must be on a separate page.

PSY 560 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
This assignment will be your second milestone as you work on your final project, the theoretical analysis. In Module One, you selected a theory from the list of approved theories for the theoretical analysis. In Module Three, you completed an outline of the Background and Basics of the Theory section. For this milestone, you will complete an outline of the Evaluation and Comparison section. You do not need to complete a full draft of this section; only an outline will be accepted. Please do not submit a rough draft.
This rubric will help you develop your outline for this assignment. Be sure to refer to the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document to review the full assignment that you will submit in Module Nine and to see how your outline will be fleshed out later in the course. This will help you understand what needs to be included in your outline. Use the information you have been collecting in your annotated bibliography to support you in this milestone.
Prompt
For this assignment, you will create an outline of the Evaluation and Comparison section of the final project. You will begin by writing a position statement. Then you will evaluate the validity and accuracy of your theory based on both primary and secondary research. You will evaluate the cultural application of your theory. You will consider the strengths and weaknesses of your theory with research-based evidence. Based on the weaknesses you discuss, you’ll cover two alternative theories that challenge the validity, weaknesses, or biases of your theory. Last, you will define the usefulness of your theory in contemporary settings against the alternative theories.
- Milestone Two (Outline): Evaluation and Comparison
- Develop a position statement regarding your theory’s continued relevance in personality psychology today. Your statement must be supported with logical rationale.
- Evaluate the validity and accuracy of your theory. Consider both primary and secondary resources and cite specific examples from the research to support your evaluation. Include both historical and current research in your evaluation and consider the differences where applicable.
- Determine the theory’s appropriateness for a range of cultural perspectives in its contemporary use. Be sure to cite relevant research. How well does this theory make testable predictions about human behavior across a range of cultural perspectives, including those of special populations? Give specific examples from the research where possible.
- Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the theory. Support your claims with research-based evidence.
- Based on the weaknesses you discover, choose two alternative personality theories to discuss. Be sure to explain how these alternative theories challenge the validity, weaknesses, or biases of your theory.
- Defend the usefulness of your theory in contemporary settings against the alternative theories and the challenges you just presented.
What to Submit
Your outline must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. Use the provided Milestone Two Template. Include a reference page with at least three sources cited in APA format.
Note that the grading rubric for this milestone submission is not identical to that of the final project. The Final Project Rubric will include an additional “Exemplary” category that provides guidance as to how you can go above and beyond “Proficient” in your final submission.
Milestone Two Rubric
| Criteria | Proficient (100%) | Needs Improvement (80%) | Not Evident (0%) | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evaluation and Comparison: Position Statement | Develops a position statement regarding the theory’s continued relevance in personality psychology today, supported by rationale | Develops a position statement regarding the theory’s continued relevance in personality psychology today, but statement is cursory, or rationale contains gaps in logic or accuracy | Does not develop a position statement regarding the theory’s continued relevance in personality psychology | 17 |
| Evaluation and Comparison: Validity and Accuracy | Evaluates, using specific examples, the validity and accuracy of secondary research that uses the theory, explaining how research supports position statement | Evaluates the validity and accuracy of secondary research that uses the theory, but explanation is illogical, or evaluation contains gaps in accuracy or support | Does not evaluate the validity and accuracy of secondary research that uses the theory | 17 |
| Evaluation and Comparison: Cultural Perspectives | Evaluates, using relevant sources, the theory’s appropriateness for a range of cultural perspectives, explaining how this supports position statement | Evaluates the appropriateness of the theory for a range of cultural perspectives, but explanation is illogical, or evaluation contains gaps in accuracy or support | Does not evaluate appropriateness of the theory for a range of cultural perspectives | 17 |
| Evaluation and Comparison: Strengths and Weaknesses | Evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the theory and supports it with research-based evidence | Evaluates strengths and weaknesses but explanation is cursory, lacks research-based evidence, or contains gaps in support | Does not evaluate both strengths and weaknesses or fails to provide research-based evidence | 17 |
| Evaluation and Comparison: Alternative Personality Theories | Compares the theory to alternative personalities in personality psychology and demonstrates how the alternative theories challenge the validity, weaknesses, or bias of the theory | Compares the theory to alternative personalities currently used by researchers in personality psychology, but comparison is cursory or illogical | Does not compare the theory to alternative personalities | 17 |
| Evaluation and Comparison: Defense | Defends the usefulness of the theory in contemporary settings against the alternative theories that were used to challenge the theory | Defends the usefulness of the theory against the alternatives, but assessment is illogical, lacks support, or contains inaccuracies | Does not assess the extent to which alternative positions challenge the theory | 10 |
| Articulation of Response | Submission has no major errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization | Submission has major errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization that negatively impact readability and articulation of main ideas | Submission has critical errors related to citations, grammar, spelling, syntax, or organization that prevent understanding of ideas | 5 |
