View attached explanation and answer. Let me know if you have any questions.

OUTLINE
1. Read this article. Are you currently experiencing the life stage of Emerging
Adulthood (or have you experienced this life stage in the past), based on the five
features described in the articles (identity exploration, instability, self-focused, feeling
in-between, possibilities)? For each feature, provide a description about your life
situation indicating how it fits or does not fit where you are currently (or what you
had experienced in the past). Next, complete this scale. What is your score for each
subscale?
Emerging adulthood has been proposed as a new life stage spanning approximately 18-28
years between adolescence and young adulthood, the transition from adolescence to the
young-adult responsibilities of a stable job, marriage, and parenthood is referred to as
emerging adulthood. Identity exploration, instability, self-focus, a sense of being between
adolescence and adulthood, and a sense of broad future possibilities are the five
characteristics that distinguish emerging adulthood (Christopher Munsey, 2006).
2. Let's talk about the social clock. In the culture that you come from, what are some
typical achievements that individuals of your age group are expected to accomplish
(in the terms of social-clock milestones such as: financial independence, nest-leaving,
relationships, and career)? Are you on time or off time in each of these milestones,
respectively? How do you feel about where you are in each of these milestones, and
how do you cope with these feelings?
My cultural background definitely has expectations that we need to accomplish at this age.
Financially, one should be partially or fully independent, depending on one's level of
education. Those who dropped out of school are expected to have equipped themselves with
skills that enable them to make a living and stop depending on parents or guardians. They

should also be living on their own, married, and have set a career path to support their
families. For those still pursuing education, we are required to juggle between part-time jobs
as per our courses while on holiday.
3. In your own words, outline Marcia's four identity statuses and then describe people
you know who fit into two of these categories. Make reference to each person's
emotions and feelings. (You can also discuss your own identity status, if you wish.)
The first identity status is diffusion. It refers to a youth who has not explored or committed to
any particular identity. Foreclosure is the second identity. Adolescents at this stage are not
actively attempting to figure out what is important to them. The third identity is moratorium
where the youth are experiencing an identity crisis that has led them to explore and
experiment with various values, beliefs, and goals.
4. Watch this video and write down three things you learned from this video. Play media
comment.
In the early educational years, career planning promises that an individual can be anything
they want to be if they go get it. College is important as it is not only the first level of
schooling that gives one a chance to explore creativity to grow their critical thinking skills
but also gives a chance to explore new options through meeting new and diverse people as
well as find out what an individual’s passion is. What matters in becoming successful is
dependent on the individual, being true to self, and not listening to other people’s opinions of
what you should be.
5. Outline the three different adult attachment styles (i.e., preoccupied/ambivalent,
avoidant/dismissive, and securely attached) and offer real-life examples of people
who fit each category.

Preoccupied or ambivalent attachment styles refer to people who are overly needy. As it
implies, people with this attachment style are frequently anxious and uncertain, with low selfesteem. An avoidant or dismissive attachment style is where a person feels they are selfsufficient. Secure attachment is the ability to form a safe, loving relationship with another. A
person who is securely attached can trust and be trusted, love and accept love, and get close
to others with relative ease.
6. Describe each Big Five trait and rate where you think you stand on each of these
dimensions. Next, take the Big-Five Personality Test here (Links to an external site.)
and report your results: What is your percentile for each of the Big-Five Personality
Traits? Finally, give a concrete personal example of how a Big Five trait ranking may
have changed (or not changed) since your teens.
The big five traits are broad personality trait categories that are core building blocks of an
individual’s personality. Openness describes a person’s level of insight and imagination.
Conscientiousness consists of thoughtfulness, good control on impulse, and behaviors guided
by goals. Extraversion is featured by assertiveness, talkativeness, sociability, and emotional
expressiveness. Agreeableness involves trust, kindness, affection, and behaviors intended to
help others. Neuroticism is characterized by emotional instability, moodiness, and sadness
7. Describe procedural, semantic, and episodic memory, and give a concrete example
from your own life for each system. Also, indicate how vulnerable each facet of
memory is to deterioration.
Procedural memory refers to our knowledge of skills and how to perform tasks, which we
remember automatically. Semantic memory is the memory responsible for comprehension,
general knowledge of ...
