Tasks 1. Identify a concept, study, or research result that stood out to you as being interesting, good, meaningful, or important from the information in Chapter 14 (The information in Chapter 14 Psychosocial Development in Emerging and Young Adulthood, focuses on the social main area of human development, which pertains to the relationships between an individual and their parents, siblings, other family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers, and, the chapter also focuses on the emotional main area of human development, which deals with the feelings and emotions that occur within an individual). Describe the concept, study, or research result. 2. Differentiate whether the information pertained mainly to the social main area of human development, which involves the relationships between individuals, or if the information pertained mainly to the emotional main area of human development, which involves the feelings and emotions within an individual, given that there may be overlap between the two main areas. 3. State what you would be interested in studying about the topic you identified. Create a study to address the topic, using one of the three classic developmental research designs, which are the cross-sectional, the longitudinal, and the sequential research designs. Sample 1. The concept of friendship in emerging adulthood stood out to me as being important. Friendship involves having a support network for one's self, and giving emotional support to another person, and is important for individuals in emerging and young adulthood. 2. Friendship pertains mainly to the social main area of human development. 3. The textbook stated information about friendships being unstable during this age range, because people move away, and it would be interesting to see if emerging and young adults are able to maintain friendships, and what the quality of their friendships are like. A sequential study could be conducted to assess the quality and duration of friendships in emerging and young adulthood, by studying a group of 3000 18 year olds who graduate from high school and move out of state to attend college, and 3000 18 year olds who attend college within driving distance from their home, with both groups being measured over time, until age 39, to see who feel close to their friends and if they still keep in contact with their friends.
