Abstract
This paper details the profound personality differences between introverts and extroverts. The writer of this paper contends that while it is common knowledge that extroverts are more outgoing than introverts, there are significant differences in situations and environments which are intentionally sought out by extroverts, which is explored in this paper. This paper examines Hans Eysenck's theory regarding the differences in individual personalities, which the psychologist contends develop due to specific biological differences in the individual. This paper delves into Eysenck's opinion that an introvert's nervous system differs greatly from that of an extrovert's. Eysenck contends that an introvert's nervous system is more easily aroused than that of an extrovert's. This paper discusses various case studies conducted on both introverted and extroverted individuals as well as presenting the results of the studies.
From the Paper
"In 1982, researchers Campbell and Hawley performed a study confirming Eysenck's theory, regarding the tendency of introverts and extraverts to prefer different environments. Their study of students revealed that extraverted students preferred open, noisy areas of a college library to study in, where they had opportunities to socialize with others. In contrast, the introverted students chose secluded areas of the library, often hidden by tall bookcases, so that they could work in solitude. These findings supported Eysenck's theory that those that scored higher on the extraversion scale would be more attracted to areas of the environment with higher stimulation, than those who scored higher on the introversion scale."

Abstract
"Hans Jurgen Eysenck (1916-97) was a German-born, British-educated psychologist whose principal contributions to psychological theory were his trait theory of personality, his biological theory of temperamental differences, his extensive investigations into the nature of intelligence, and his extension of his personality theory into some areas of social behavior.
From the Paper
"Hans Jurgen Eysenck (1916-97) was a German-born, British-educated psychologist whose principal contributions to psychological theory were his trait theory of personality, his biological theory of temperamental differences, his extensive investigations into the nature of intelligence, and his extension of his personality theory into some areas of social behavior. Eysenck became the leading proponent of the British pragmatic school of psychology and his emphasis on testing and biological factors has often led to serious criticism of his ideas. Despite various controversies surrounding his work, however, Eysenck remains an influential theorist whose theory of personality is believed by many to possess great potential.
Eysenck was the son of a German "actor father and film star mother" who were divorced shortly after his birth (Brand 68). He..."

Abstract
This paper traces the life of Hans Christian Anderson from the time of his birth in Odense, Denmark in 1805. It examines his education, his relationship with his parents and his writing career. The paper discusses Anderson's works, including his first novel, "The Improvisatore" and subsequent texts such as his famous fairy tales such ("The Princess on the Pea," "The Little Mermaid," "The Emperor?s New Clothes", "The Ugly Duckling" and others). The paper reflects on Andersen's important contribution to the world of children's literature.
From the Paper
"An examination of the distinctive characteristics of his writing illuminates their enduring quality and his contribution to children's literature. One of the key characteristics, which makes Anderson's tales lively and interesting, is his use of the oral narrative. His tales often begin with a question that draws the readers or listeners into the story. By adopting the perspective of his characters, Andersen brings them alive, whether they are trees, trolls or sparrows. His vivid description of the Emperor's court in "The Nightingale" with its lavish and exotic objects evokes the mysterious and exotic quality of the Orient."

From the Paper
" The Nazis did not come to power in Germany without opposition, and they did not develop their war machine in an atmosphere completely devoid of resistance. There was resistance to the Nazis within German society from a number of people and groups in society, and this resistance was dealt with harshly as the Nazis tried to consolidate their own power and bring everyone into conformity with their program of belligerence toward Germany's neighbors. Hans Rothfels in his book The German Opposition to Hitler analyzes the German opposition to the rise of the Nazis, the actions taken by those who offered any resistance at all, the nature of the opposition before the rise and after, and related issues, suggesting that some of this opposition movement operated throughout the Nazi era and served as an instrument for peace at the end of the war."

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Gestalt and behavior therapy. According to the paper, Gestalt therapy is a psychological system that stresses integration of body and mind factors by developing self-awareness and personal responsibility. The paper goes on to discuss behavior therapy, stating that there are several approaches to cognitive-behavioral therapy, including rational emotive behavior therapy, rational behavior therapy, rational living therapy, cognitive therapy and dialectic behavior therapy.
From the Paper
"Therefore, the therapeutic process encourages the client to interact with the environment, as a group, as an individual, and on many different levels, with different techniques, from using battacca bats to whack furniture, to imaging and interacting with the image in their mind by conversing with it out loud. The techniques used in therapy vary as widely as the therapists and clients, from principles based on Holism, Field theory, figure formation, organismic, the concept of the Now and "unfinished business." The therapist dialogues with warmth and caring, yet remains "invisible," as the client is encouraged to interact with the field (environment). The client must think of him- or herself as an abstract area in a limitless "field," thus, therapy is "unpredictable," or follows moment to moment dictum. (Doermann, 2002)"
