In what circumstances can psychological research on cognitive and emotional development be used to set public policy?

/in /by

Please write anEssay, with thesis and 2 main points, with this following guide questions. Thanks.

  1. A criticism of this position by Fischer et al., who have a different perspective on how public policy should take into account emotional and cognitive development in juveniles.
  2. A rebuttal of the Fischer position by Steinberg et al.

Your specific goal for Paper Assignment 2 is to analyze the arguments in the three papers, construct a coherent argument about the role of studies of cognitive and emotional development in setting public policy guidelines, and support this argument with specific evidence from the papers. A number of different approaches to this topic can satisfy the requirements of this paper assignment. For example, your paper assignment might address:

  • In what circumstances can psychological research on cognitive and emotional development be used to set public policy?
  • When, if ever, should public policy distinguish between cognitive and emotional development and why (or why not)?
  • Whose view of psychological development – Steinberg or Fischer – is better for setting public policy and why?

Evaluate the theory of emerging adulthood and discuss the criticisms of the theory.

/in /by

Throughout your textbook the developmental period of emerging adulthood (18-25 years old) is discussed. Jeffrey Arnett (2000) suggests that this period of development is defined by identity exploration, instability, self-focused behaviors and thoughts, a feeling of being in-between adolescence and adulthood, and an overwhelming sense of optimism for the future. Other researchers, such as James Côté (2014), have criticized the theory of emerging adulthood calling it a dangerous myth and a form of institutionalized moratorium on identity formation. These researchers often cite research on emerging adults that show increases in depression, anxiety, suicidal behavior, substance abuse, and sexually transmitted diseases during this development period. Further, another criticism of emerging adulthood research is that the majority of research focuses on American students at four-year universities. For Paper Assignment #3, you should respond to the following using the sources provided to you as well as additional peer-reviewed sources you find:

  • Evaluate the theory of emerging adulthood and discuss the criticisms of the theory. Is the theory an accurate reflection of the experiences of 18 to 25-year-olds? Why or why not?
  • Are there differences in risky behaviors and identity formation for emerging adults who are students and those who are not students? What other differences are there between students and non-students in emerging adulthood?
  • Is the developmental period of emerging adulthood found in other countries besides the United States? Why or why not? What factors influence the occurrence of the emerging adulthood in these countries?

Discuss how you identify changes you have seen in your development, noting the specific theory that is most closely related to your developmental changes.

/in /by

Our behaviors are affected by many factors, including the way in which we receive and process information. The knowledge, awareness, and perceptual processes we have can all be influenced by both external and internal occurrences. Albert Ellis, in his discussion of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, provides us with food for thought in understanding how our internal discussions, or self-talk, serve as a buffer in behavioral change at the emotional level. From an evolutionary perspective, behavior may develop from knowledge, awareness, perception, labeling, and retention, among other forces.
After reviewing the course materials for the week, share your thoughts on how the Theory of Evolution helps one develop and change over time.
In addition, discuss how you identify changes you have seen in your development, noting the specific theory that is most closely related to your discuss how you identify changes you have seen in your development, noting the specific theory that is most closely related to your developmental changes.

How does your choice of a characteristic relate to being a better cultural counselor?

/in /by

Many counselors believe they are culturally sensitive and that they understand their clients of different cultural backgrounds; however, there may be characteristics that are misunderstood. This assignment will allow you to explore aspects of other cultures to gain a better understanding of and appreciation for these other cultures.

Choose a significant identifying characteristic about yourself that you are willing to change for one to two days.

Use your findings from the Ethnic Genogram assignment, due in Week 2, to help you select a characteristic.

Try to change a characteristic that could help you become a better multicultural counselor, but remember to stay safe while doing so.

Obtain instructor approval for the characteristic you would like to change.

Inform family and employers of the nature of the assignment. Before you begin the cultural plunge experience, write out what you expect to happen. During the experience, pay attention to your reactions and the reactions of others. Make note of these reactions at the end of each day.

Create a 5- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation of your experience. Include the following:
– The cultural plunge experience
– What characteristic did you select for the cultural plunge? How does your choice of a characteristic relate to being a better cultural counselor?
> Why did you choose to change this characteristic for the cultural plunge?
– What were your expectations before you started?
> What personal biases did you discover while completing the cultural plunge? How do you plan to overcome these biases as a counselor?
– The counseling process
> What are common attitudes, beliefs, needs, and philosophies of the examined population toward the counseling process?
> What strategies may be used to provide the best counseling services to the examined population?
> How does your culture define the roles of the counselor and the client? How does the culture you experienced define the roles of the counselor and the client?
> Describe the best local counseling resources and referral agencies that specialize in the examined population. Explain why these resources are the best available.

References: you will need outside references to cover the section on counseling process. At least 2 peer reviewed references beyond the textbook is required and you may need more. The amount of research will depend on how you are conducting your cultural plunge. For instance, if you are interviewing individuals within the group, you may need fewer. If you are experiencing something directly (life with a disability) you will need more research to compare your experience with others who live with a disability.

Write a 175- to 350-word reflection on what you learned about different social and cultural perspectives. Include the following (this can be included in the power point as an addendum (at the end) or as a separate document):
– Explain how different cultural perspectives may affect the therapeutic relationship.
– Determine the effect of microaggressions on the therapeutic relationship.

Include pictures and other graphics in your presentation, if appropriate.

Format any citations within your presentation, along with your reflection, according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines.

Submit your presentation and reflection.
