Assessment Instructions
Preparation
In the Capella library and on the Internet, look for research articles on adolescent and early adult development. The articles should focus on how theories of development explain cognitive and psychosocial development. Find at least two scholarly or professional articles to use in this assessment.
Requirements
For this assessment, apply developmental theories to your own adolescent and early adult development. Think about how the developmental theories - cognitive, psychosocial, moral, attachment, and ecological - relate to helping you better understand your own development. Think about your life experiences during these stages and how those experiences shaped your development in specific areas.
For example, you might consider how certain educational (or other) experiences helped you reach formal operations thinking in your cognitive development. Also think about your identity development and the relationships or experiences in your life that contributed to your sense of identity.
Please note: Since this assessment is asking you about your personal development, it is appropriate to write it in the first person. However, you must still follow APA guidelines for references and citations. Also be sure you include a title page and reference page.
Select two specific areas of development on which to focus:
Cognitive.
Psychosocial.
Moral.
Ecological.
Be sure to address the following:
Explain what theory informs us about the areas of development you selected.
Describe at least two life experiences during adolescence and two experiences during early adulthood that were significant in shaping your development in each of the areas you selected.
Apply ideas and concepts from theory to explain your behavior, thoughts, and emotions during adolescence and early adulthood.
Additional Requirements
Written communication: Your writing should be free of errors that detract from the overall message and is consistent with expectations for members of the psychological professions.
APA formatting: Format resources and citations according to APA style.
Resources: Minimum of two scholarly or professional resources. Note: Popular resources such as Wikipedia or About.com are not considered to be appropriate.
Length: 3-4 typed, double-spaced pages not including title page and reference page.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12-point font.
