631. 461 The Impact of Punishment and Positive Reinforcement on my Behavior. This first person narrative examines the relative value of punishment over positive reinforcement in trying to bring change. It is written from the perspective of a person trying to lose weight and accomplish associated goals. It lists the response to punishment and to rewards and concludes that positive reinforcement is more effective. For every behavior that someone wants to change there is a method to change that behavior. Some people believe that punishment is going to effectively change behaviors and others believe that a positive or negative reinforcement are the way to go. My personal experience, however, tells me that punishment does not go very far to changing my behavior a positive reinforcement gets things done much better.

632. 481 Right Brain/Left Brain: Making the Best of Each Side. This paper examines the dynamics and functions of the right and left side of the brain. It uses biological, social, and emotional standards to measure the function of each side of the brain. It outlines the function of each side of the brain and draws conclusions about the relative value of right and left-brain individuals. Does man have two brains? Not really, but the human brain is divided into a right and left hemisphere and each hemisphere of the brain performs different functions. One side is often dominant over the other and this leads to the expression, left-brainers and right-brainers. The left?brainers are the great thinkers and scientists and the right?brainers are the artists, but these perceptions of the left and right brain hemispheres and the power they have over the development of personality and behavior traits may be slightly overstated. Some people do use one side of their brains more than others, but the two halves work together and each person has the ability to make the best of what each side of his brain has to offer.

633. 478 The Personality Theories Of Erik Erikson. In the summer of 1927, a young artist wondering through Europe took at a school established by Freud for the children of his patients and friends. This artist, Erik Homburger, who had never received a university degree, became friendly with the psychoanalysts and was later trained by them (Burger 1990 p. 121). After chaining his name to Erikson, he began to practice psychotherapy and eventually extol his own views on the nature of the human personality. Although Erikson retained some of Freud's ideas in his theory, his own contributions to the psychoanalytic approach to personality are many and it is these contributions that will be examined here.

634. 476 The Paradigms of Psychology. This study guide introduces the basic paradigms of psychology, gives an example of each, and offers the writer's opinion of their accuracy. It concludes that psychology is not a hard science. Psychology is not an absolute science like physics. It involves human behavior and human interactions and it is not always predictable. Unlike some other exact sciences, psychology has numerous approaches and theories relative to it that seek to explain human behavior or provide different perspectives on how to examine human behavior reactive to culture and biology. There is no one particular approach to psychology that can be deemed correct or more valuable then others, but the holistic approach is becoming quite popular and it may be among the most balanced of the paradigms for psychology.

This personal narrative by a Middle-Eastern student lists five bad behaviors and then measures the effectiveness of punishment or reward in changing those behaviors. People learn by different means and some means of learning and reinforcement have different impacts on people at different times. No one is perfect and there is no doubt that everyone has behaviors that they want to change and extinguish. I know there have been many for me, but I have found that punishment doe snot go a long way to solving my negative behaviors. Throughout his life he engaged in a variety of different behaviors and he discovered that positive reinforcement is more likely to change his behavior than punishment. It concludes that punishment does not end negative behaviors and only motivates the person to avoid the punishment.
