PSY 211 Project Two Template Use this template to complete your life-span theory exploration paper. Answer each question with a minimum of 3 to 5 sentences. Support your answers with credible sources when appropriate. Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Identify a theorist, summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to the biological perspective . Sigmund Freud’s psychosexual theory suggests that human behavior is influenced by unconscious thoughts, memories, and urges. “ Freud’s controversial theory of psychosexual development suggests that early childhood experiences and stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital) shape our adult personality and behavior”. “Freud believed that events in our childhood have a great influence on our adult lives, shaping our personality. For example, anxiety originating from traumatic experiences in a person’s past is hidden from consciousness and may cause problems during adulthood (neuroses).” This relates to the biological perspective because Freud believes we are all born with a psyche that has built in drives and desires. He believes we all go through the same psychosexual stages because we all have a built-in psyche. And according to Freud’s psychoanalytic theory personality has three elements or levels that are known as the id, the ego, and the superego, “Freud’s personality theory (1923) saw the psyche structured into three parts (i.e., tripartite), the id, ego, and superego, all developing at different stages in our lives. These are systems, not parts of the brain, or in any way physical, but rather hypothetical conceptualizations of important mental functions. Provide an example of how this biological perspective of life-span development applies to your lived experience. I was raised by my grandparents half of my life and throughout my 1

childhood my dad had disappeared and left he was here and there being only I saw him occasionally and went some places with him but he was not in my life throughout the rest of my childhood years I cant even count the missed birthdays, wishing he would he surprise me and show up at a school concert or to a daddy daughter dance I didn’t get letters in the mail and rarely any phone calls. My mom was a little bit more in my life then my dad but she still failed to show me the nurturing care and attention that I so badly wanted me and my little sister went to live with her after awhile when my grandparent’s needed breaks and most of the time we were fending for ourselves feeding ourselves, struggling in school, picking out our own clothes I found it hard to go to my mom about anything because she wasn’t mentally there and she had her own mental issues she was depressed, got into toxic relationships, had OCD and had angry outbursts. As I got older and I started to form friendships and relationships with people but especially relationships most of them did not work out basically all of them turned into toxic relationships especially with the last one I was so used to being done wrong and being abandoned that I did not know how to handle a good relationship therefore I messed up my last relationship with the guy who was and still is the love of my life I told myself that he was going to leave me just like everyone else and including how my father did my past trauma with my father conflicted into my relationship and I ruined it by making very bad mistakes and overall not being a good girlfriend. Even in my friendships I have very bad attachment issues and I sometimes don’t know how to let friends go when the friendship may end but because of my abandonment as a child it led to me having attachment issues. Freud believes that inner force drives behavior “According to 2

Freud, a person's personality is formed by the process and results of struggles. He posits that most of an individual's personality is formed by the age of five.” “When a person experiences a trauma , that event can inform how they react to or approach future events. Even when one has learned to cope with a trauma that has occurred, it can unconsciously impact their future behavior.” Identify a theorist, summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to the psychological perspective . Urie Bronfenbrenner’s theory suggests that a child’s development is influenced by the social environment they are raised in and is affected by multiple levels of the surrounding environment . “ Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory posits that an individual’s development is influenced by a series of interconnected environmental systems, ranging from the immediate surroundings (e.g., family) to broad societal structures (e.g., culture.)” Bronfenbrenner (1977) suggested that the child’s environment is a nested arrangement of structures, each contained within the next. He organized them in order of how much of an impact they have on a child. Provide an example of how this psychological perspective of life-span development applies to your lived experience. When I was younger in elementary school I used to get bullied a lot for wearing the same clothes and wearing dirty shoes and not having the latest styles like everyone else did because of my mom being very poor and she could not afford to buy us new clothes or buy us new shoes my family being my mom was the microsystem, and school was the microsystem and between these two systems which is called the mesosystem it led me to start getting bad grades in school and not being able to focus on my work. 3

Identify a theorist, summarize their theory, and explain the aspects of that theory that relate to the social perspective . Albert Bandura's social learning theory (SLT) suggests that we learn social behavior by observing and imitating the behavior of others .” “ Albert Bandura's social learning theory suggests that observation and modeling play a primary role in how and why people learn . Bandura's theory goes beyond the perception of learning being the result of direct experience with the environment.” Provide an example of how this social perspective of life-span development applies to your lived experience. Growing up my grandparents were big on survival skills and my uncle was in the military so for about a year or two me and my sisters moved on a farm which was land that was passed down to my grandma from her family members we lived in trailer and did not live in a house it was a small cramped trailer through those years and my time every day there I watched my grandpa set a small campfire, we had goats and chickens and I would watch him catch the chickens and prepare them to be cooked, I learned how to survive by watching the adults around me survive on a piece of land away from the daily chaotic life of a big city. Describe why analyzing the life span from a combined biological, psychological, and social perspective is important. Analyzing the life span from all these perspectives is important because a person’s experience, or thoughts can be influenced by cultural values around that are taught to them by adults which can then affect standpoints from a biological, psychological and social view and then later on to 4

their adult life. The environment a child is raised in greatly influences and has a impact on how they handle situations or their experiences.
