I NEED HELP WITH AN ASSIGNMENT AND A DISCUSSION

THIS IS TWO PARTS THE DISCUSSION IS DUE WEDNESDAY 11/11/20 AND ASSIGNMENT IS DUE SATURDAY 11/14/20

Week 5: Stress and Health

Stress is an issue that most people can identify with, either now and again or every minute of the day. The effects of stress are a field of interest and research for many, and the connections between past experiences and future health is one major focus area of research. The effects of stress can be greater than some individuals realize, including how stress works against us and the potential for healthy aging. In fact, how people deal with events can have a major impact on both their physical and psychological health.

Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development is a cornerstone of lifespan development theories. This theory can provide essential insight for both psychologists and individuals in that it covers the entire lifespan instead of just one stage. Furthermore, the different challenges or crises of Erikson’s eight stages represent multiple opportunities for social and cultural growth.

This week, you will examine the connections between stress and health through childhood experience and adult wellbeing. Furthermore, you will use Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development to describe and predict your own psychosocial development and critique this theory as to how it aligned with your personal experiences.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Analyze connections between stress and health issues throughout lifespan

· Apply Erikson’s psychosocial development theory to personal experiences

· Evaluate the accuracy and applicability of Erikson’s psychosocial development theory

· Identify concepts, principles, and processes related to memory, cognition, and healthy aging

Discussion: Stress Throughout the Lifespan

Post a response to the Discussion Spark in the Discussion Spark thread for this week.

Main Discussion

Over time, doctors noticed a trend among their patients: Many of them with chronic conditions were sharing histories of “rough childhoods” and early trauma. Because of this, the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study was started in 1998. This study captured just how serious adverse childhood experiences can be, and how, even though a person might try to deny the effects of that trauma years later, the trauma was affecting their health.

To prepare, review the provided resources related to the ACE study, as well as information related to common chronic health conditions detailed in Arnett (2019). Furthermore, consider situations you are aware of that involved childhood trauma or adverse experiences and any association between these stresses and chronic health conditions.

By Day 3

Post an analysis of connections between stress and health issues throughout the lifespan. Your analysis should include the following:

· Briefly describe
(under 100 words)
a hypothetical person who has experienced adverse childhood experiences. Indicate what their ACE score might be based on the survey from Stevens (2012).

· Identify at least two likely health outcomes that could affect this individual throughout adulthood using evidence from the ACE research. What can prevent these health outcomes from becoming a reality?

· Explain the role of resilience for this individual and their health issues.

Assignment: Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory

Erikson’s theory is considered a foundational theory for many other perspectives in lifespan development. Once individuals complete a stage and move to the next, they take with them the outcomes of the previous stage. Did they end up with the ideal result or the not-so-ideal result? In this Assignment, you will apply each of Erikson’s stages to your own life and consider whether earlier stages are predictive of later stages and if old conflicts could be resolved later in life through methods such as therapy to have a better outcome in current or future stages.

To prepare, review the provided resources related to Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development and consider how it relates to your personal experiences. For stages you have not yet reached, predict the likely outcome. Refer to the “Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory Template” provided in the Week’s Resources for further instructions and requirements to complete this Assignment.

By Day 7

Submit:

A 2- to 3-page paper applying Erikson’s psychosocial development theory to your personal growth and experiences. Your application should include the following:

· Connect Erikson’s Theory to Personal Experiences

· Describe each stage of Erikson’s theory and the outcome of each psychosocial crisis, using evidence from your personal experience to support this outcome.

· Predict the negotiation of future stage(s) of development based on the scholarly evidence and your personal experiences thus far.

· Critiquing Erikson’s Stages

· Analyze the ways in which Erikson’s theory does or does not accurately explain your personal psychosocial development. Be sure to provide specific examples to support your analysis.

· Assess the accuracy of the age ranges given in Erikson’s theory in representing life stages as we know them today. Explain any updates you think would be necessary to describe modern people.

· Discuss two criticisms that you have of Erikson’s theory, including options to address these criticisms.

Erickson theory template is on the 2nd attachment. I started it.

PSYC 2003 Week 5 Assignment: Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory

PSYC 2003: Week 5 Assignment: Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory

Part 1 Directions: Connecting Erikson’s Theory to Personal Experiences

In the field associated with each stage, indicate the result of each stage when reflecting on your personal development. Discuss features of your development that suggest the outcome you have indicated. For example, if you chose “mistrust” for the first stage, describe (in 50–100 words) what you believe your experiences may have been at that time to lead to that outcome and what experiences you have had later in life that have further suggested this outcome.

Note: You will be providing all answers within this document and submitting the final paper to your Instructor by Day 7 of Week 5.

Examples:

·
Trust:

I assume I experienced trust with this stage, as I had responsive caregivers as an infant, and there are family stories about how they soothed me and nurtured me. Later in life, I would say I am a pretty trusting person.

·
Mistrust:

I assume I experienced a general sense of mistrust after this stage, because my parents worked a lot and shared that I was with a lot of apathetic babysitters and substandard daycares during this time. They also believed that it was important to let babies cry to develop the lungs, so it is likely I did not learn to trust them. Later in life, I find I am a pretty cautious person, and some of my exes have described me as having trust “issues.”

1. Trust vs. Mistrust: Birth to 18 Months Old

I am almost certain I experienced trust. My most trusted adult figures raised me. I have no memories, but the pictures prove me right. I am a trustworthy person.

I can say there was mistrust. I have always wanted my mom but whenever she said she was coming, it never happened. That’s where my mistrust lie.

2. Autonomy vs. Shame: 18 Months to 3 Years

I was a little spoiled with my grandparents and I did get to delegate somethings later in childhood, so I am sure it didn’t start there.

I remember being shame around new people because I was always a lone child at my grandparent’s house.

3. Initiative vs. Guilt: 3 to 5 Years

Early on I was always trying and wanting to do and experience everything. I wanted to learn how to do things around the house and I tried my hand without being forced or asked.

I found myself feeling guilty as a young girl and even now as the reason my mother didn’t have me with her.

4. Industry vs. Inferiority: 6 to 12 Years

Inferiority was all I felt in elementary and junior high. The kids were so mean if you didn’t dress a certain way or had money for snack. I always felt as if they were talking about me and criticizing me for the poor looking clothes I had on. I felt less than equal because I didn’t have what they had and I was alone for that reason.

As far as industry goes, I was always able to do seemingly difficult tasks and I wanted more and I stopped at nothing to achieve them.

5. Identity vs. Role Confusion: 12 to 18 Years

6. Intimacy vs. Isolation: 18 to 35 years

I have never had a problem with intimacy therefore avoiding it doesn’t apply. Isolation is something I can not relate to.

7. Generativity vs. Stagnation: 35 to 65 years

8. Integrity vs. Despair: 55 or 65 to Death

Part 2 Directions: Critiquing Erikson’s Stages

Now that you have applied all of Erikson’s stages to your own development, you will critique this theory by integrating your application of the different stages.

· Does Erikson’s theory accurately explain how you have become “you,” or are there unexplained features about you that the theory did not address? Explain, using specific examples from Part 1 of this Assignment.

Enter Text Here

· Consider the age ranges given in the theory. Do you find them to be accurate representations of life stages as we know them today, or do you think some updates to this theory would be necessary to describe modern people? Explain.

· Discuss two criticisms that you have of Erikson’s theory, including options to address these criticisms.
