InstructionsSchool is an important and common experience where socioemotional and moral development play out. For this assignment, you will compose a written analysis of a case study on Angela, who is in late childhood.Case Study, Angela, 10:Angela is a 10-year-old child who identifies as mixed race. Her father of Jamaican and Trinidadian descent and mother of Irish descent divorced when she was about 8 months old. Because her father moved out of state and her mother worked long hours, Angela spent a substantial amount of time with her grandmother until she was about 5 years old. Her mother, who was employed as a server, sometimes worked 10- and 12-hour shifts. Her father worked as a manager of a grocery store seafood department and was sometimes relocated to new stores.Angela has recently moved to a new location with her mom, farther from her grandma, about 30 minutes away, and into an entirely new school district. Imagine that you are Angela’s guidance counselor. Her teacher came to you recently and said, “Angela is really quite intelligent and super creative, but I have noticed she is having a difficult time making friends. Do you think you could help her?”Of course, you are willing to help one of your students, and you begin by observing Angela on the playground.You have decided to have a couple of meetings with Angela to get to know her and then hope to bring her mom into the conversation.Part IUsing your developmental psychology background (e.g., attachment, temperament, self-esteem), determine the following items: What type of attachment would you predict that Angela has with her caregivers? How would you predict that this has affected her adjustment? Explain how Angela’s cognitive and physical changes come into play. In psychology, we know that labels can be dangerous. How would you have a conversation with Angela’s mother about how Angela’s temperament and peer status might be affecting her adjustment at her new school without giving Angela a negative label? You have the impression after meeting with Angela and her mother that they are on board with being proactive in creating positive change for Angela. What three steps would you suggest Angela and her mother take that would improve Angela’s self-esteem and emotional maturity? Describe the changes that take place in the adolescent’s relationship with her parents that come into play in these three steps you suggest. Part IIThanks to your work as her guidance counselor, Angela has made a successful transition and has friends at her new school. Furthermore, she has been asked to participate in a program as a peer mentor. Angela’s school has a great deal of socioeconomic, racial, and cultural diversity. Unfortunately, there has been a significant amount of bullying due to perceptions regarding differences. Angela’s role is to help other kids in her elementary school make prosocial decisions around the issue of bullying.Once you have read the case study, answer the questions below in a single document. Your total response (for Parts I and II combined) must be at least two pages in length. Your textbook must be used as a source along with at least one additional source. All sources used must be cited and referenced according to APA guidelines. How may the role of Angela’s peers in her life be changing because she is in middle childhood? What important factors have researchers discovered that increase the likelihood of bullying? Given what you have learned about moral development in this unit, how would Lawrence Kohlberg approach Angela and her peers given his theory of moral development? What would a plan for much younger students, such as kindergarteners, look like if it were created by Angela? If Angela was working with her female peers, would you recommend a different strategy? Would that align with Carol Gilligan’s perspective? /Assignment: Instructions Assignment: Resources

For this assignment, you will reflect on how an aspect of abnormal psychology has affected your life. This may be a personal reflection or you may address how a disorder has impacted a friend or family member. You may also discuss how mental health disorders have or will affect your career (past, current or future). Finally, you could choose to discuss how mental health disorders affect communities if you do not have personal experience with abnormal psychology in your life. The important thing is to make this paper your own. EVERYTHING YOU DISCUSS WILL BE KEPT COMPLETELY CONFIDENTIAL - THAT IS MY PROMISE TO YOU!The essay should be 3-5 pages in length (not including the title page and references). The paper should include the following information:Introduction (10 points): Please introduce yourself and the aspect(s) of abnormal psychology you will be discussing in your paper. Give a brief overview of how any aspect of abnormal psychology has or will affect your life.Body of the Paper (60 points): This part of the paper will vary greatly by individual. There is no specific order to the paper - the outlined requirements may be integrated throughout the body of the paper. Do what works best for your individual situation, experience, etc.● EXPLAIN YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY AND/OR MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS (20 points). This should be the bulk of your paper. You may integrate other aspects of the paper into the body of the paper (e.g., integrate DSM criteria into your descriptions.)○ What has been your experience with abnormal psychology/mental health disorders in your life? In your introduction, you should have given a brief overview. This is the place to expand on your experience(s), but at the same time, I don’t want you to be overwhelmed. I realize for some, this may be a lifelong experience (e.g., my husband has with anxiety his entire life), so instead of explaining a lifetime of struggles, you may choose to explain the disorder and then one or two specific experiences with the disorder. (For reference, please check out my post in the Personal Stories Discussion Board on a specific example of my husband’s struggles with anxiety.)○ No personal experiences? (e.g., As a nurse, I will be working with patients with mental health disorders in the future...) This is completely OK, but you may need to do a little research - pick a specific disorder and explain the types of cases you may see in the future. Or if you are currently working in an environment where aspects of abnormal psychology affect your work, explain a specific case.● Neuropsychosocial approach to Abnormal Psychology (30 points - 10 points each factor):○ Please address how NEUROLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, and SOCIAL-CULTURAL factors play a part in the disorder(s) you choose to discuss. If you are taking a broader approach to thetopic (e.g., homelessness and mental health), focus on the disorder you chose above.○ You can integrate this information with your experiences. For example, when discussing myhusband’s anxiety, I could explain how he perseverates on the smallest details when his anxiety is at its worst, and the effects this has on his well-being (this is a psychological factor). ● DSM-V Criteria for the Disorder(s) you choose (10 points). As with the neuropsychosocial factors, you may integrate this into your other descriptions. But you will need to demonstrate understanding of the specific criteria for the disorder(s) you choose to discuss. If it’s easier, you may use a paragraph to discuss specific criteria to ensure you have this covered. For example, page 159 in your textbook lists the criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder. For the sake of the this assignment, I might say that my husband meets the criteria for GAD, and then list the required criteria.Conclusion (10 points): Wrap up your paper in a clear and concise conclusion. APA and References (10 points):● APA: The paper should have a title page and reference page. Proper spelling and grammar, 1” margins, and in-text citations where necessary.● Citations: At the least, you will have a reference for the DSM-V (in using the criteria for the disorder). Please make sure to cite any other sources you use. Because this is a personal reflection, you may only have one reference and that is OK.Finally - just some things to think about to get your writing. These aren’t required elements - just ideas:➔ What social factors play a role in mental health today...things to think about◆ Community◆ School◆ Mass Media◆ Families◆ Religion◆ Politics➔ Has the healthcare system played a part in the mental health disorder you are discussing (this could be positive ornegative).➔ What treatments have been helpful (if any)? Or maybe you work in a healthcare setting or school or clinic nowand you have some insight into what is helpful and what is harmful.➔ How can a person move from a disorder taking over their life to becoming a part of who they are withoutconsuming them?➔ Think about relationships when describing the disorder - from a personal standpoint, my husband’s anxiety, attimes, has caused difficulties in our relationship - this may be an experience you could discuss.➔ Be yourself, be honest and open. Sharing stories can be so powerful.
