Unit 7 Final Project: Evaluating Erikson
Due Date: 11:59 p.m. EST Sunday of Unit 7
Points: 100
Overview:
In Unit 4, you chose one of Erikson’s psychosocial stages (beginning with Industry vs. Inferiority and ending with Integrity vs. Despair), and you also chose someone to interview about their experience during the stage you chose. In this assignment, you will conduct your interview and evaluate Erikson’s theory using your interviewee’s responses and three scholarly sources about Erikson’s theory.
Instructions:
Review Erikson’s theory:
You will need to be very familiar with the Erikson stage you chose, so you can talk about it with your interviewee. Your knowledge of the stage should be supported by the information you obtained from your three scholarly sources (one may be your textbook).
Interview:
In Unit 4, you chose one of Erikson’s psychosocial stages beginning with Industry vs. Inferiority and ending with Integrity vs. Despair. You also identified a person to interview about their experience during one of those stages, and you wrote 5 interview questions.
You should use the 5 questions as approved in unit 4 by your instructor, and you can choose to add new questions (you can use more than 5 interview questions, but you must use at least 5).
You will conduct an interview with the person you identified; your interview can be face-to-face, on the phone, or through a video conference.
Paper:
After the interview is completed, you will use the interview responses, along with three scholarly sources, to write a three-page paper. The focus will be whether or not your interviewee experienced the psychosocial stage as described by Erikson’s theory.
Include the following:
State the psychosocial stage you chose to focus on.
Based on the interview responses, is Erikson’s theory correct?
Elaborate your response with specific detailed answers you obtained in your interview.
Connect the answers you received with Erikson’s theory. Explain how these answers support or refute Erikson’s theory.
Do you believe that this stage of Erikson’s theory is continuous or discontinuous? Explain your answer.
Further support your response with three scholarly sources on Erikson’s theory and/or research related to Erikson’s theory.
Requirements:
Submitted in a single WORD document.
Three-page essay evaluating one of Erikson’s stages.
Interview questions and responses included. (in addition to the three page paper)

Assessment Descriiption
Every child grows and develops differently. Individual child outcomes are influenced by values and practices of family, culture, and community. It is important for teachers to understand these outcomes and know how to support the growing child and their families.
Teachers need to develop an awareness of developmental milestones within the context of discussions with families, childcare providers, pediatricians, public health nurses, and other educators.
Use the “Developmental Readiness Template” to compile information in preparation for speaking to a family about their child’s readiness to enter a childcare facility. Within the template, describe young children’s typical and atypical behaviors, characteristics, and needs in relation to cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional needs from birth to age 4.
Include the following:
• Descriiption of one typical cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional milestone for children birth to age 4.
• Descriiptions of two atypical cognitive, linguistic, physical, social, and emotional milestones for children birth to age 4.
• Two strategies, per developmental stage, for families – one addressing typical behaviors and one addressing atypical behaviors. Include at least one technological/digital resource for typical or atypical behaviors.
Support your assignment with five scholarly references.

How is this Literature Review unique?
The literature reviews included in research studies generally conclude by identifying something specific that has not yet been fully explored to set the stage for new research that will expand this body of knowledge. Because of the compressed nature of this Capstone, your Literature Review will conclude with a more traditional summary. Your literature review for this course will also include a specific ethical analysis component. Here’s what to do:
Step 1: Review the Literature Review requirements
The rough publish of your Literature Review should include the following:
-At least 6-10 diverse scholarly sources
-At least one scholarly source must address your topic from a biopsychological perspective
-At least one scholarly source must address your topic from a lifespan or developmental psychology perspective
-The majority of your sources should be current (within the last 5 years)

-An introduction
-A focus on analysis and synthesis rather than summary or descriiption of article content.
-What are the key themes or topics of the research studies you have reviewed?
-A 1-2 paragraph discussion of the ethical dilemmas and social responsibilities inherent in your social justice issue
Note: This discussion of ethics need not be by theme/topic like the example provided in Step 2.
-A summary
Summarize the purpose of your research and the theories used to examine the social justice issue.
In your own words, what are the most prominent studies and findings related to your topic?
Based on your research what are your proposed strategies for reducing or eliminating your social justice issue?
If you have any questions after completing your research, you can also list those in your summary.
APA formatting
Depending on the number of scholarly sources used, your Literature Review should be approximately 2,000-2,500 words, and should not exceed 3,000 words. (Word counts exclude title pages, headers, and reference list.)
REMINDER: Your Literature Review should NOT include any discussion of the methodologies used in the studies you review.
Outcomes
This activity assesses the following module outcomes:
M3-02: Evaluate psychological research from the standpoint of adherence to the APA Ethics Code in psychological research involving human or non-human research. (CO5)
M3-03: Explain how the APA Ethics Code can be used to guide decisions in ethically complex situations. (CO5)
M3-04: Apply research design, analysis, and interpretation skills in psychology. (CO 3)
M3-05: Demonstrate psychology information literacy by reading and accurately summarizing complex ideas from psychological research. (CO1)
M3-06: Discuss potential sociocultural factors and international contexts that may influence the design, analysis and interpretation of psychological research and social justice issues. (CO 2)
M3-07: Demonstrate successful application of psychological theory and principles to selected social justice issue. (CO 4)

Read the case scenario below. Then, review the professional literature to identify a creative strategy/intervention (e.g., bibliotherapy, game) that might be helpful for “Claire”. Finally, after you’ve identified a strategy that both interests you and is appropriate for Claire, write a paper to address the questions/prompts presented in the outline below. Use APA (7th ed.) formatting for your paper, include the 3 sections denoted in the outline, cite at least one professional source (e.g., textbook, peer-reviewed journal article), and ensure that all cited sources are documented in the list of references.
Claire’s Case
Claire is a 10-year-old biracial female. You have seen her once before and now you are deciding how to work with her. Her parents are going through a divorce after her father cheated on her mother with another woman. Her mother and father do not get along but they are willing to work together for Claire. You find that when you talk to Claire, her mother tells her a lot of information about her father’s cheating. This makes Claire feel in the middle as well as protective of her mother. She says she does not like being with her father. You notice that perhaps she wants to spend more time with him but worried that her mother will be mad at her. She is also experiencing a lot of anxiety at school with grades and she thought she saw her father with the other woman at her school one time. Her father assures you that he has never brought anyone to the school and does not admit that he has a girlfriend. Claire’s grades are going down as she was an A/B student but now getting Cs and Ds on some tests. Her mother says she no longer wants to do any extracurricular activities (she played soccer and the violin). She wants to stay at home with her mother. When you talk with Claire about what she does with her mother she says she enjoys watching movies with her but her mother is busy on the computer, on her phone, or doing stuff around the house like folding laundry. When she has to see her father they sometimes play outside but mostly he plays video games which they sometimes play together. Sometimes they watch movies but Claire notices her father on the phone smiling. She is almost certain this is the “other woman.” When this happens, Claire wants to go home immediately. She starts to feel sick: stomach hurts and head hurts especially.
