CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Gloria has recently graduated college and started a new job. Her coworkers seem very nice, and Gloria has gotten to know Lakeisha and Reggie the best.
Reggie is a friendly older man who often talks about his plans for retirement in five years. He likes to make people laugh but often jokes about his struggles to learn new programs and technology.
Gloria and Lakeisha have been assigned to work on a project together. Lakeisha is very organized and has prepared a list of to-do items along with due dates. She even color-coded the list to indicate which partner will do each item. Gloria, who is more laid-back, feels a bit uncomfortable with this micromanaging from Lakeisha, who has only been at the job a few months longer than she has. Gloria wonders if Lakeisha thinks she is either lazy or stupid, and she does not look forward to working on this project. In the past, Gloria attempted to communicate her feelings with a co-worker; however, her coworker told Gloria that she needed to put her feelings aside and just do the work assigned to her. As Gloria ponders having a conversation with Lakeisha, she starts to feel overwhelmed and thinks she might have to ask to be removed from this project.
Still, she and Lakeisha have connected because they are both single mothers of teenagers. Gloria confides in Lakeisha about her 16-year-old son who has started making poor choices and is currently grounded for sneaking out of the house and getting drunk at a party the night before a big exam.
The company recently informed the team that there will be a compliance test on new safety policies, which employees will need to pass in order to keep their jobs. The company has provided materials to study as well as optional practice exams. Gloria and Lakeisha have signed up to take the first practice test. Reggie, however, jokes that he will probably wait until the night before the test to read the material. As the date of the test approaches, Reggie becomes increasingly nervous. He makes frequent comments about how hard it is for him to learn a different way of doing the jobs that he has been doing for years, joking that “you can’t teach an old man new tricks.”

Given what you have learned in Chapter 3 about brain development and social development,
explain why Gloria’s son is making poor decisions. (Use page 3.4 for brain development and
page 3.6 for social development).
Gloria’s son is at the adolescent stage of psychological development. The major issue
at this stage is identity vs. role confusion. Children will work at establishing a sense of self
identity through trying out different roles which they then combine to get their identity or get
confused on their identity. Gloria’s son makes poor decision like sneaking out of the house and
getting drunk at a party the night before an exam. He is a student who isn’t expected to be
getting drunk the night before the exams. Gloria’s son is 16 years old, at this age most young
teenagers struggle to find out who they are. In the process most young teenagers engage in
risky behavior such as drunkards and truancy while exploring their identities.
Secondly, at this age, children want the approval from others and act in ways to avoid
disapproval. Gloria’s son will sneak out of the house to just prove a point to other that he can.
What specific strategies can Gloria use to help her son make better decisions? (Hint: pages 3.7
and 3.17 have resources to help)
