Integrating the Field of Developmental Psychology: A Review of the Literature

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the age group / developmental stage you selected in Week Two of the course. Remember, you must use this age group / developmental stage.

You will then review the Developmental Psychology literature examining findings for that age group / developmental stage in terms of the physical, emotional, cognitive, social dimensions, and how they impact development and can best be used to meet developmental needs.  Additionally, create a summary of the developmental stage as viewed through the lens of one developmental theory we have studied across the course (Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, Freud’s Psychosexual Theory, Erickson’s Psychosocial Theory, etc.).

In your paper,

Examine the physical changes associated with the selected developmental stage.

Examine the cognitive changes associated with the selected developmental stage.

Examine the emotional changes associated with the selected developmental stage.

Examine the social changes associated with the selected developmental stage.

Evaluate the developmental changes and appraise the effects of the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social environments.

Synthesis is the act of creating something new from multiple existing entities. Synthesis of research, then, is creating a new idea from existing ideas. It is a process developed through time and practice. In this assignment, you will apply the synthesis process to journal readings from the course. You will also need to conduct additional research into the social issue you have chosen to examine.

Describe an interaction in a social work setting with a client who is from a different culture than you. The interaction may be one that you have had or that you have read about.

/in /by

Despite the perception that there is a clash of cultures—as represented in the media, proclaimed by politicians, or discussed on social media—you may encounter diverse but integrated cultures more regularly than you realize. In the military, different cultures integrate into a unique military culture, just as diverse cultures integrate into the unique culture of your town or city. In this Discussion, you use a similar understanding to predict how different cultures might integrate into a military social work setting.

By Day 3

Post: (2 to 3 pages)

  • Describe an interaction in a social work setting with a client who is from a different culture than you.
    • The interaction may be one that you have had or that you have read about.

  3. Identify any logic fallacies that exist in both and explain what makes them logic fallacies (For a list of logical fallacies, follow this link https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/academic_writing/logic_in_argumentative_writing/fallacies.html ).
