Analyze Cognitive Theories on Personality

Griffen, Mroczek, and Wesbecher (2015) describe the contextualist
perspective which proposes that personality is highly malleable and
susceptible to environmental influences. This perspective, does not
necessarily rule out traits or broad temperamental dispositions.
However, it focuses attention on life transitions and context-bound
constructs such as personal goals and social skills.

Your task this week is to critically analyze how the following theorists
have incorporated the criteria of personal goals, social skills, traits
and temperament into their work as well as context-bound constructs.
