How much of this submission has been generated by AI? 26% of qualifying text in this submission has been determined to be generated by AI. Caution: Percentage may not indicate academic misconduct. Review required. It is essential to understand the limitations of AI detection before making decisions about a student's work. We encourage you to learn more about Turnitin's AI detection capabilities before using the tool. Frequently Asked Questions What does the percentage mean? The percentage shown in the AI writing detection indicator and in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the submission that Turnitin's AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI. Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that the score is less reliable. However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in greater detail according to their school's policies. How does Turnitin's indicator address false positives? Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be AI-generated will be highlighted blue on the submission text. Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the percentage shown. What does 'qualifying text' mean? Sometimes false positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated), can include lists without a lot of structural variation, text that literally repeats itself, or text that has been paraphrased without developing new ideas. If our indicator shows a higher amount of AI writing in such text, we advise you to take that into consideration when looking at the percentage indicated. In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student. Disclaimer Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

2 Case Study Paper Introduction Alex, an individual of 25 years of age, is a recent college graduate undergoing the process of entering the workforce. This case study examines the complex life of Alex to determine the interaction between biopsychosocial and spiritual elements during his formative years. The objective is to analyze Alex's existence by applying theoretical concepts derived from the assigned readings, thereby exploring his journey across multiple dimensions. Through examining developmental milestones and participation in a social movement, this paper endeavours to illuminate the complex interrelationships between theoretical frameworks and practical experience. Analyzing Alex's life aims to clarify the importance of considering comprehensive Developmental Stage Alex, who is 25 years old, is currently in the young adult developmental stage, characterized by significant changes and self-exploration. Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory posits that this stage is characterized by the inner conflict between the desires for intimacy and isolation (Maree, 2022). Alex is confronted with the complexities of simultaneously nurturing significant relationships and establishing a firm sense of self and direction. Alex effectively manages the developmental obstacles associated with attaining autonomy and self-reliance in his personal and professional spheres. During this stage, the primary objective is to foster intimacy in all types of relationships: romantic, platonic, and professional and to solidify a consistent and stable sense of self (Hutchison, 2018). This life phase is characterized by the pressures of determining one's career trajectory, making consequential life decisions, and developing one's values (Maree, 2022).

3 From a cognitive standpoint, Alex is developing and honing his critical reasoning, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities. Babakr et al. (2019) state that the development of cognition aligns with the theory of Jean Piaget on the growth of cognitive processes at the early stage of development. According to Babakr et al. (2019), this is a time when youth feel uncertainty, anxiety, expectation, and, on occasion, hope. Alex’s struggles with bonding, self- management, and the unpredictability of the world around him. Biological Factors Alex is living a regular life with daily physical activity and food nutrition. Therefore, this is one of the major reasons Alex has the best biological health. Some studies have proved that positive energy levels, cognizing abilities, and mood depend on physical well-being practice (Narciso et al., 2019). Therefore, he establishes a strong foundation for adolescents' confrontational challenges by leading actively in this health arena. Alex strives for heart-healthy habits at the genetic level because his family has a genetic propensity for heart disease. Although an individual may not have any health concerns beforehand, one with a prenetic disposition should have eating rights and exercise regularly to have a healthy heart (Narciso et al., 2019). Alex's self-perception and body image about his physical appearance significantly influence his general well-being. Self-esteem and confidence are fostered by a positive body image, which is closely related to psychological and social factors (O'Connor et al., 2021). However, the fears concerning the physical image may be augmented by social pressures and expectations. Alex’s self-esteem and perception of attractiveness are affected by dynamics between social constraints and biological and psychosocial dimensions. Although Alex's short bursts of tension, anxiety, and irritability during the challenges of transitioning from college to professional life are biological factors influencing his mental health, Page 5 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335 Page 5 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335

4 there is a biological basis for this, as well as the processes of physiological stress and endocrine equilibrium (O’Connor et al., 2021). The biopsychosocial model states that the interaction between these three dimensions should be considered to comprehend Alex's experiences and behaviours. Psychological Factors Alex struggles with the psychological barriers from education to employment. Such a stage in life is characterized by attempts to discover oneself and the reason for existence. Alex’s psychological terrain involves issues of career choice, decisions about family life, and individual principles to which he will adhere (Rokach, 2019). Cognitively, Alex is improving in decision- making, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Alex has also got to use flexible strategic thinking in dealing with complex hindrances he encounters in his career. Alex is no exception to other young adults who have had different feelings in their lifetime. Usually, there is a feeling of eagerness and expectation for new opportunities. For instance, at the onset of any undertaking, one may experience the emotional pressure associated with the desire to achieve success at all costs (Sidik, 2020). However, when Alex works to overcome these challenges, emotional intelligence, which refers to recognising and tracking emotions, becomes more significant, as Babakr et al. (2019) noted. Other essential psychological aspects include self-efficacy and Alex’s self-esteem. Positive feedback results in the perception of one’s achievement and value at work (Sidick, 2020). Decreased confidence may also result from temporary setbacks/barriers. At this developmental stage, psychological factors greatly shape Alex's behaviours and affect his mental decision-making and life outcomes.

5 Alex's personality is shaped primarily by the social encounters in his life. Alex was fortunate to have college scholarships and supportive friends. When faced with the numerous challenges of maturing, these friends offer an important source of support (Hutchison, 2018). Naturally, as the experiences of the group as a whole are taken into account, the sharing of advice and understanding plays a significant role in how people grow in this social setting. Lastly, Alex's family relationships greatly influence his social life. The turbulent shift from college to the job market may be lessened by emotional support and a sense of continuity from close family ties (Hutchison, 2018). SimilCultural factors and family expectations influence Similary; Alex's values and choices seek to expand the social realm by participating in civic duties and supporting projects on environmental sustainability. Alex participates in various social and environmental programs that allow him to go beyond mere close-knit relations. Additionally, Alex interacts with individuals who share his interests and takes part in various social activities that help him grow into a responsible, self-directed person willing to give back to the community. Spiritual Factors Alex does not identify as a religious practitioner, yet his religious approach is unique. Instead of being religious, Alex practices a holistic spirituality that incorporates moral values, introspection, and a strong bond with nature. Nonetheless, meditation is a part of Alex's belief. A peaceful mind and self-awareness are built on a daily practice of meditation. As such, they comprise methods of infiltrating comprehending inward and internal self-examination of the individual's inner side (Rokach, 2019). However, Alex’s spirituality transcends self as it pays the highest respects to nature. Nature provides a means through which Alex attains his divine existence and commissions with Page 7 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335 Page 7 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335

6 his creator. Therefore, the relation to nature is necessary to bring humility and spiritual development. In addition to adhering to these values, he also values social duty, empathy, and compassion. This significantly impacts people's sense of purpose in life and overall connection with them once they reach this decision-making stage. Because of his spiritual experience, Alex can explore many philosophical and theological perspectives on the path to self-realization (Noubani et al., 2020). This spirituality gives him direction and a meaningful way to face all the obstacles. Small Group Alex is just one of the few members of a small organization based in his local neighbourhood focused on fighting environmental pollution for sustainability. He is part of the community environmental awareness advocacy organization that drives positive changes. The main objective of this group is to lobby for local policies geared towards environmentally friendly practices to achieve a sustainable environment. This small group membership has greatly influenced Alex's behaviour and the results of his life. The conversations with like-minded people have helped Alex get back to serious thinking about the environment and given him the feeling of belonging and a common purpose. Alex feels more a part of the group because of the members' common goals and values, which eventually positively impacts overall well-being. The group has started local cleaning and seminar projects, and Alex is always energetic in participating. Communication is free and candid among group members, thus creating a conducive environment for a collective approach (Brady et al., 2020). Alex's leadership skills have expanded, which could largely impact his personal and career growth. The small group has Page 8 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335 Page 8 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335

7 provided Alex with friends beyond the community. Alex's personal life has changed due to the influence, which could lead to new business prospects or partnerships. Formal Organization Alex recently began working as the junior project manager in a dynamic technology Startup company. His work corresponds to his inner values because the startup is famous for its pioneering methodology in sustainable technology. The company uses a horizontal hierarchy that supports cooperative and participative ethics. The environment has, consequently, influenced how Alex conducts himself at the workplace. In the cross-functional teams, Alex actively participates as a teammate, offering novel ideas and long-term solutions. This has given him The outcome has a profound effect on his life. Alex's exposure to new technologies and eco-friendly practices has set the stage for his professional progress. The connections with business executives made through formal networking within the company have made room for Social Movement In order to raise public awareness of climate change and sustainable development, Alex supports grassroots and community mobilization. Individual actions, policymaking, and community education should all contribute to this social movement's goal of resolving environmental issues. The community project is associated with international campaigns such as Alex takes part in this change through outreach initiatives and social events. Furthermore, a major factor in Alex's conduct and results in life has been the way the group mobilizes the Page 9 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335 Page 9 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335

8 public and collective action. For instance, Alex has embraced environmental responsibility by His circle of friends has grown because he participated in the social movement, which has introduced Alex to others who share his passion for environmental preservation. These connections go beyond regional endeavours and create a global network of individuals who share views and work toward the same goals (Rokach, 2019). He was raised believing that there was a higher force that influenced his behaviour, gave him direction in life, and allowed him to Conclusion In summary, this case study illustrates the intricate interplay between biopsychosocial and spiritual dimensions in the early life of 25-year-old Alex. From developmental stages to environmental activism: registration theory and reality. His involvement in the environmental sustainability movement, formal association acceptance, and small-scale environmental associations are all excellent illustrations of how personal beliefs impact actions and results in life. Holistic viewpoints are valuable because they enable people to comprehend and support Page 10 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335 Page 10 of 12 - AI Writing Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::1:2782031335
