Retrospective Analysis of Personality

In this assignment, begin by taking a retrospective look at your life  history, to discuss which aspects of your personality have remained  consistent and which aspects of your personality have changed over  time. Then, analyze the roles of nature and nurture in shaping your  personality. Subsequently, discuss possible sources of inaccuracy and  bias in any retrospective analysis. Finally, discuss the reasons why  systematic scientific studies are considered more valuable than  individual accounts. 

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. Reflect on your life history and discuss which aspects of your  personality have changed over time and which aspects have stayed  consistent.
2. Based on your retrospective analysis, describe the roles of nature  and nurture in shaping your personality. Reflect on your justification  for distinguishing between nature and nurture. 
3. Discuss the possible sources of bias and inaccuracy whenever a  person looks back on their past history. Be sure to discuss factors  related to memory and factors related to cognition. 
4. Describe why the science of psychology places more emphasis on  results based on scientific studies than it does on personal experience  and anecdotes.
