Imagine that you are a developmental psychologist specializing in late adulthood, who is going to a conference and will be presenting a case study of a participant in your research project. Create a fictitious case study of an individual in late adulthood. With the information from Chapter 18 Psychosocial Development in Late Adulthood in mind, complete the following tasks. Tasks: Give the fictitious individual a name and an age in late adulthood, which is age 65 and older. Choose one theory from chapter 18 to describe the fictitious individual’s development in late adulthood, such as Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, or the Five Factor Model, or the disengagement theory, or the activity theory, or the continuity theory, or the selective optimization with compensation theory, or social convoy theory, or the socio-emotional selectivity theory. State information about whether or not the fictitious individual is retired. State information about the fictitious individual’s family or about the fictitious individual's friends. State information about whether or not the fictitious individual is caring for an elderly relative, or whether or not the fictitious individual is being cared for by another individual. Sample 1. Jenny Jones, age 92, is in the oldest old age range. According to Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, she is in the ego integrity versus despair stage, and has resolved the psychosocial crisis with a positive outcome, showing ego integrity. She would live her life exactly the same, all over again, with no regrets, feeling she has had a good life. 2. Although Jenny is retired from her career in public health, she does have an income from a book she wrote, and receives royalty checks twice a year. Her family members live nearby and visit her often. She does not have many friends. She has two female friends, who call her every few weeks. 3. Jenny does not have any elderly relatives for who she is caring. She herself needs care with activities of daily living, and has a home health worker come to her home for four hours each day.
