Discussion 5

Imagine that you are an introvert and your boss is a vivacious extrovert. Your boss is constantly asking you to attend company parties, go out for dinner and drinks with the team after work, and he creates a loud atmosphere in the workplace that he is comfortable with as an extrovert.

• How would you handle this situation, knowing that your personality traits are so different?
• What advice would a behavioral theorist provide versus a psychoanalytic theorist in this situation?
• Can introverts develop into extroverts (or vice versa) with effort or are these traits permanent across the lifespan?

Instructions:

• Your initial post (approximately 200-250 words) should address each question in the discussion directions and is due by 11:59 PM Central Time on Wednesday.
