1. Copying and pasting is not working. You'll need to type your question in by hand.

2. Make sure you include YOUR THOUGHTS, too -- don't just post the assignment and expect that someone here will do it for you. We are happy to help, but you need to indicate what YOU THINK in order for us to help you.

Thanks.

Yes, I noticed that the copy and paste does not work. I did include my thoughts, but it didn't show up. Anyways, I was able to complete it and able to find references to make sure they were correct, but thank-you for your time and help! =)

Oh, I'm glad to hear you were successful. That's the best kind of learning!

=)

To match the psychological theories with the appropriate statements, you can use a method of elimination by analyzing the statements and the descriptions of each theory. Let's go through each statement and see which theory aligns with it:

A. Individualism versus collectivism: This statement refers to the Sociocultural theory, as it involves social and cultural factors influencing one's sense of self and adjustment to society. Therefore, we can match this statement with the Sociocultural theory.

B. Popular theorist Eysenck initiated the five-factor model: This statement refers to the Trait Theory, as it mentions a specific theorist (Eysenck) and his contribution to the five-factor model of personality. Therefore, we can match this statement with the Trait Theory.

C. The healthy personality is found in balancing the social self with the individual self: This statement also aligns with the Sociocultural theory, which emphasizes the interaction between social factors and the self. Therefore, we can match this statement with the Sociocultural theory.

D. Genetics determine the traits for a healthy personality, but how those traits are expressed are influenced by learning experiences, development of skills, and the ability to choose our own actions: This statement aligns with the Learning Theory, which emphasizes the influence of learning experiences and the ability to choose one's actions on personality development. Therefore, we can match this statement with the Learning Theory.

E. Popular theorists include Maslow and Rogers: This statement refers to the Humanistic Theory, as it mentions popular theorists (Maslow and Rogers) who contributed to this theory. Therefore, we can match this statement with the Humanistic Theory.

F. Popular theorists include Freud, Jung, and Erikson: This statement refers to the Psychodynamic Theory, as it mentions popular theorists (Freud, Jung, and Erikson) associated with this theory. Therefore, we can match this statement with the Psychodynamic Theory.

G. Social and cultural factors such as ethnicity, gender, culture, discrimination, and socioeconomic status influence one's sense of self and his or her adjustment to society: This statement is already matched with the Sociocultural theory based on statement A.

H. Taken from the European philosophy of Existentialism: This statement does not match any of the given theories and can be eliminated.

I. Focus on the individuals' capacity to build knowledge and adapt to the environments around them. Includes behaviorism and social-cognitive theory: This statement refers to the Learning Theory, as it mentions behaviorism and social-cognitive theory as part of its framework. Therefore, we can match this statement with the Learning Theory.

J. Personality is characterized by a struggle between different elements within an individual's personality. Behavior, thoughts, and emotions are the result of this inner struggle: This statement is already matched with the Psychodynamic Theory based on statement . Consists of five major personality factors which are reasonably stable elements of personality. These factors include extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience: This statement is already matched with the Trait Theory based on statement B.

L. Popular theorists include Pavlov and Skinner: This statement refers to the Learning Theory, as it mentions popular theorists (Pavlov and Skinner) associated with this theory. Therefore, we can match this statement with the Learning Theory.

M. Idea of the healthy personality is the ability to love and work: This statement is already matched with the Humanistic Theory based on statement E.

N. A healthy personality means knowing one's self, making authentic choices which are consistent with goals, and the capability of making real changes in their lives: This statement is already matched with the Humanistic Theory based on statement E.

After going through each statement, the matched theories are:

Psychodynamic Theory: F and J
Trait Theory: K
Learning Theory: D, I, and L
Sociocultural Theory: A, C, and G
Humanistic Theory: E, M, and N
