Developmental Theory
Goal: Using Developmental Theory & Concepts to Analyze the Development of a Character in a Book or Film
Read a novel, and to examine the development of a particular character with reference to some developmental theory and/or to address any of the ‘key issues’ (e.g., nature-nurture; stability vs. change; discontinuous vs. continuous development; domain specificity vs. domain generality) in developmental psychology that you may spot in the book/film.
