Human Development Worksheet Using the Human Development Case Studies media piece, select one of the case studies to analyze. In the worksheet, you will be assessed on the following: Describe a life stage based on a developmental theory. Summarize developmental theories and apply them to a case. Apply findings from scholarly research to a case. Communicate clearly with appropriate purpose, organization, tone, and sentence structure. Cite sources using author and year in the body of the work and provide a reference for each source Instructions: Follow the instructions. The boxes in the table are for you to provide the information in answer to the prompts. As you type, the boxes will stretch to accommodate your typing as you go. You will need space to work on applying theory and research to the case. Case Name the person in the case study and describe in your own words their current situation. Explain the stage of life the person is in according to the theories you selected. Prompt Description Name: Brenda Current Situation: Brenda is wanting to make some changes in her life. She is not satisfied with her relationship status and wants to make a career change. She is divorced, and feels she should be living a certain lifestyle based on others around her that are around the same age. She has mom issues and now has to step in and assist with caring for her elderly mom. Stage of Life: I would say Brenda is in Level 2- Conventinal Morality in the Moral Development stage. According to (Mcleod, 2023) “ A social system that stresses the responsibilities of relationships as well as social order is seen as desirable and must, therefore, influence our view of what is right and wrong.” She has decided what is right and wrong based on her life’s journey. In her mind she should be at a certain place in life and is comparing her life to others. She also displays Psychosocial development Specifically in the Industry vs.Inferiority stage. It seems she has low self- esteem and feelings of inferiority. As she expressed she is feeling out of place and lonely. She also says she wants a relationship, but is uncomfortable dating. Which can indicate that her stage of trust vs. mistrust is not strong. 1
Theory Explain the theories you selected to apply to the case. Once you explain the theory in general, provide details about the stage for the person in the case you selected. Explain how the theory helps to understand their development and their situation. Prompt Description Selected Theories: Moral Development and Psychosocial Development. Stage Details: Stage 3 Developing good Interpersonal Relationships, and Trust Vs. Mistrust How theory helps the understanding of development: It helps with how relationships has an influence on choices. It also determines social expectation and roles. According to (Cherry,2022) Often referred to as the "good boy-good girl" orientation, this stage of the interpersonal relationship of moral development is focused on living up to social expectations and roles . 6 There is an emphasis on conformity , being "nice," and consideration of how choices influence relationships”. This goes hand and hand with the trust vs. mistrust stage with psychosocial development. Since Brenda stated she doesn’t have the best relationship with her mom that can be alarming. Research Provide professional and scholarly information to support your thinking in the case. Explain what the professional or researcher says. Explain how this information relates to the case, such as the person’s life stage and the problems they are facing Prompt Description What the professional information or research says: It says that Trust Vs mistrust can affect your own abilty to trust yourself when it comes to dealing with challenges. How this information relates to the case: This relates to Brenda since she is uncomfortable dating and doesn’t trust herself to make the right decisions. According to Bailey, A. (2022). Understanding Psychosocial Development. “ Success in stage 1 helps a person be able to trust others in future relationships, as well as trust in their own ability to deal with challenging situations later in life”. Which could potentially be the cause on why she is uncomfortable dating, but yet unhappy being single. References Place your references in alphabetical order and in APA format. Use one line for each reference. You will need at least three resources - at least one source to explain the theory, and at least two with professional information and research. You may have more than three: add more rows as needed. 2
