I realized that Myerson is approaching personality as a very subjective and ever changing process rather than identity which seems slightly more fixed. I had been assuming that personality and identity were almost the same when personality is a component of what truly makes us up, and both are extremely broad and difficult to pinpoint exactly. To focus my research, therefore, I have decided to move into the development of a person which starts with childhood.

I used the Scavenger Hunt to gather some sources for my blog; I had the hardest time finding a newspaper article and using CQ Researcher. 

1.      Knoff, Howard M. The Assessment of Child and Adolescent Personality. New York: Guilford, 1986. Print.

2.      "Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology." (Division 53). American Psychological Association, 2013. Web. 07 July 2013. <http://www.apa.org/about/division/div53.aspx>.

3.          You and Me: Childhood Identity and Social Development. Millennium Web Catalog. Films Media Group, 1994. Web. 07 July 2013.

4. Leary, Mark R., and June Price. Tangney. Handbook of Self and Identity. New York: Guilford, 2003. Print.

I am going to take some time to read them over and watch the video to determine whether they will be helpful to my topic. I think these three sources will be the best to use for my topic, whatever direction I take. In fact, I am leaning more towards child development in schools as well and I found a pro con source on CQ Researcher: Glazer, Sarah. "Head Start." CQ Researcher 9 Apr. 1993: 289-312. Web. 8 July 2013.
