Textbook: 
Lifespan Development: A Psychological Perspective
Second Edition
By Martha Lally and Suzanne Valentine-French (Published 2019) Should have a PDF to download as the first thing that pops up when googling this!
Prompt: In a 3-page paper, explore a topic of your choice within the realm of developmental psychology, utilizing concepts learned from the textbook. Consider how theories, research findings, and key principles discussed in the course material can be applied to understand and analyze your chosen topic. Your paper should demonstrate a thoughtful integration of textbook content with real-world examples or personal experiences.
Topic Selection:
Choose a specific area of developmental psychology that interests you (cognitive development, social development, emotional development). Choose a specific stage (prenatal, infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, middle/late childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood, late adulthood). Choose a specific topic within that area and stage. 
The specific area I chose is emotional development and for the stage it will be adolescent. For a specific topic within that area and stage it would be the formation of identity
Integration of Textbook Concepts:
Identify and explain relevant concepts, theories, or research findings from the textbook that relate to your chosen topic. 
Application to Real-world Examples or Personal Experiences:
Connect the textbook concepts to real-world examples or personal experiences. This could involve analyzing a developmental phenomenon observed in society, discussing a relevant case study, or reflecting on how the concepts apply to your own life or the lives of people around you.
Organization and Structure:
Ensure a clear and organized structure for your paper. Include an introduction, body paragraphs presenting your analysis, and a conclusion summarizing your key insights. In addition to the 3 page body, include a reference page at the end.
Citations:
Properly cite the textbook and any additional sources you use to support your analysis. Follow APA style guidelines. There should be in-text citations throughout as well as a reference page at the end. 
Reflection:
Conclude your paper with a brief reflection on what you have learned through this exploration. Discuss any new insights gained and the significance of understanding developmental psychology concepts in the context of your chosen topic.
This paper is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your understanding of developmental psychology concepts and their real-world application. Be creative, thoughtful, and use specific examples to illustrate your points.

1. General understanding or definition of the disorder
2. New information learned about this disorder
3. Information that stood out the most
4. Potential barriers to education a student with this disorder may experience
5. Role you would take in assisting students who display characteristics of this disorder
Topic: Anxiety disorder 

For this discussion, you will examine ethical issues encountered by clinical and counseling psychologists in the digital age. Begin by reviewing the cases of Dr. Arnold and Dr. Washington listed below and selecting one of these ethical dilemmas for analysis.
Case 1
Dr. Arnold is a clinical psychologist who specializes in child and adolescent issues. From time to time, she provides consultation on high lethality cases within the juvenile court system. Recently, she was referred a case involving a 15-year-old male who has a history of aggression, angry outburst, destructive behavior, and cyberstalking.  Concerned for her safety and well-being, Dr. Arnold input the client’s name into a search engine, which yielded the client’s social network page. Dr. Arnold is uncertain whether or not to look at the client’s social network page.
Case 2
Dr. Washington is a counseling psychologist who specializes in trauma and self-harming behavior. Recently, he received a “friend request” from a former client who he provided individual therapy to six months ago. Dr. Washington opted not to accept the “friend request,” but considered sending a private message to the client with the social networking policy from his informed consent.  Dr. Washington is uncertain whether or not to send the private message to the client.
In your initial post, assume the role of a colleague to the doctor named and analyze the ethical issues encountered in your chosen case. Given the situation described in the case study, recommend how your colleague should proceed. Provide support for your response by citing the required articles for this discussion. Consider the current and potential actions of your colleague and explain whether or not he or she is currently, or potentially will be, in violation of the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. Provide support for your explanation by citing Standard 3: Human Relations  https://www.apa.org/ethics/code/index?item=6  in the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. Explain how your colleague might avoid this type of ethical dilemma in the future. Describe what policy or policies you might put in place if you were your colleague.

The final paper will be written in accordance with APA guideline/style. Paper format: While the presentation is semi-formal, in terms of language and style, the paper is the formal written assignment in this course. It will include: title; abstract; the core of the paper will be an introduction (1-2 pages), method (of your qualitative research; addressing the reliability and the validity of biographical resources; 1 page), results (the life story of the person, focus only on facts; 4-5 pages), discussion (your understanding of the life story of the person, focus on interpretation and speculation according to your psychological knowledge; 3-4 pages); summary (1/2 page); reference list; appendix. The recommended length of the paper is 10 double spaced pages (not including bibliography). Maximum length is 11 pages (not including bibliography). Appendix at any length is accepted.
The presentation’s structure would be like the structure of an academic paper in psychology (see below “Final Paper”) with one difference: The presenters may leave some issues open for discussion in class, and they may share their questions with the class. Post-presentation class discussion is aimed at targeting these issues and enriching the final paper. The professor will lead the post-presentation discussion. Rubric is available on eClass. As described earlier, this project aims at integration of personality theory, personality styles and disorders in real life. Since students are not eligible to apply clinical concepts to real people, a compromise is offered: Instead of exploring the life of a “living” person, students may focus on a known person, about whom there is a lot of biographical information. Examples: Joseph Stalin, Sylvia Plath. Of more contemporary interest: Donald Trump. The person on focus does not have to demonstrate any psychopathology: Barak Obama, for example, would be a good candidate to be the focus of your study.
It is advisable to choose an interesting, multilayered, complex personality about whom there is enough reliable psychologically relevant information to be the centre of your project. Students are expected to demonstrate critical thinking about biographical data collection issues, such as contradictions among sources, issues of reliability and validity. The project will relate to a minimum of two theoretical perspectives learnt in class and at least one issue (theoretical or empirical) independently studied. These will be applied to a person on focus. For example: If you decided to work on the life story of Princess Diana, you may use two of the theories discussed in class (such as Freud’s psychoanalysis and attachment) plus independent research on a personality disorder they may have had (i.e., bulimia; impact of parental conflict on children; or any other issue that is relevant to Princess D’s life).

Content (50%)
Abstract (half a page, not included in the pages count): a description of the essence of your study Introduction (1-2- pages): The purpose of your study; what did you do: who was your subject; shortly describe your data collection; what theoretical frameworks guided the interpretation of your data. Don’t forget references when needed. Method (1 page): Elaborate about the way the data was collected (“data” refers to the facts about the life and behaviour of your subject). Address issues of reliability, validity, strengths and weaknesses and potential biases of the various biographic resources. Here you may mention methodological literature on qualitative research methods (plus references). Results (4-5 pages): The life story and behaviour of your subject (“data”).
Focus on facts only. Whole, multi-faceted description of your subject: address all significant social roles (e.g., Princess D: daughter, sister, friend, spouse, mother, philanthropist, social activist).
Relevant details about childhood and adolescence that will enable connecting childhood and adulthood through a developmental theoretical framework (for example: temperament, attachment, Freud, Adler, Erikson, Kohut, Klein, Mahler, Rogers, Learning Theories).
Adulthood
Specify behaviours that can substantiate a potential axis 1 and/or axis 2 diagnoses.
Discussion (3-4 pages): Your understanding of the life and behaviour of your subject: demonstrate your knowledge of psychology.
Address personality styles and/or disorder as learnt from Millon’s text
If there is an axis one disorder (e.g., bulimia) use what we referred to as “Millon’s formula” to connect it to axis two and axis four (we learned these concepts in class). When PD is indicated (for example, antisocial PD for Ted Bundy), offer a tentative diagnosis, given that you are not eligible to diagnose anybody. If a personality style is indicated, your language should be tentative as well. In many cases it is useful to articulate an overarching question about your subject’s behaviour. This question may allow you to integrate a lot of information about your subject, and to increase the cohesiveness of the paper. For example: How can Princess D’s turn-away from the royal family be understood by the science of psychology? Complex, multi-faceted approach to knowledge of psychology rather than a simplistic one. Keep in mind the principle of overdetermination. Methodological considerations are integrated in the discussion when appropriate. Critical thinking Depth Engaging Demonstration of independent research (examples: papers/books about attachment beyond the well known Bowlby and Ainsworth, studies, literature reviews, research on an additional relevant issue (e.g, relevant for Princess D: Bulimia, parental marital conflicts). The quality of your resources counts. Demonstration of knowledge of personality theories and applying them to your subject

How can events in our life-span development impact our perspectives on diversity, equity, and inclusion?
How can we use research in developmental psychology to understand an individual’s level of prejudice?
How have individuals in your life influenced your schema development?
How does the concept of mental schema development apply to any of the following programmatic themes? You may want to review the Programmatic Themes PDF document.
Self-care

Instructions
First, read the Svinicki & McKeachie chapter 5 thoroughly and search for underlying principles for teaching thought using discussion. 
Make a list of critical thinking components that can be utilized in a good discussion. For instance, you could say: 
Discussion can explore concepts that don’t have obvious answers 
Discussion can focus on relationships—between ideas, cause/effect, etc. 
Discussion can focus on “best” vs. “better”—“what is the best solution?”—note that this is an example of evaluation from Bloom’s taxonomy 
Discussion can examine underlying beliefs 
Add 4-5 general concepts to this list that you have drawn from the Svinicki & McKeachie chapter. Explain each of these concepts and the depth of thought possible given these underlying principles. Make sure to expressly indicate what from chapter five led to the underlying principle you proposed in your list and cite correctly per APA.
Review the techniques of discussion reviewed in Svinicki & McKeachie (starting with a controversy, starting with questions, examining cases, etc.) and explain how several of these techniques can drive thought deeper. 
Project to your own teaching demonstration that you will present in week 7. For your particular topic, how do you think a well-developed discussion can implement HOTS related to your topic? Draw from Svinicki & McKeachie and cite appropriately.

Discussion Topic: Job Satisfaction in Adulthood
Chapter 12 addresses working and relaxing. Our employment tends to be closely tied to our identity. As you are working toward your degree to either start a career or change careers, how much do you feel this to be true? Do you feel job satisfaction evolves as you age? Have you ever had a mentor that made a positive impact on your career trajectory? Explain.
What types of leisure activities refuel you the most?
