Create and analyze a 1–2-page simulated case study of an adolescent with developmental challenges. Then, create a 5–7-page intervention plan based on evidence-based strategies that have proven effective in similar cases and make projections of possible long-term impacts that current challenges may produce across the individual's lifespan.Note: The assessments in this course follow the successive stages of lifespan development, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.What is adolescence? When does it begin and end? What risks and opportunities does it entail? This period of transformation from childhood to adulthood comprises so many changes in development—physical, cognitive, identity, and social—it has been referred to as adolescent metamorphosis. Adolescence brings the emergence of sexual characteristics, sexual behavior, and sexual preference. Maturation affects males and females differently in terms of potential social and psychological problems. In addition to dramatic biological changes, adolescents continue to demonstrate cognitive development. In cognitive development, as the Piagetian stage of concrete operations is gradually supplanted by the formal operations stage, more evidence of reasoning and abstract thinking begin to emerge. The shift to this stage of formal thought has the capacity to influence adolescents' approach to academics as well as other life domains.In addition to biological and cognitive changes, there are dramatic advancements in socialization and peer relationships. During adolescence, relationships with parents, siblings, and peers change. Adolescents no longer fit in well with groups of younger children and at the same time, they are not sufficiently developed to associate well with adults. Thus, adolescents can be greatly influenced by peer relationships, something that often places them at odds with the influence of parents and the broader community including schools. What risky or unhealthy behaviors are associated with adolescence? Are these behaviors common across genders or across cultures?Adolescence is a time when humans begin the process of figuring out who they are and who they want to be. The quest for individuality is a major focus at a time when significant and often uncomfortable changes are taking place. Erikson (1950) proposes that all adolescents experience an identity crisis that needs to be resolved.Effects of earlier influences continue to manifest themselves in the development of adolescents. And, the significant biological and social changes that adolescents undergo have great implications for their emergence into adulthood.

Dr. Smith described her sampling strategy as:a.Snowball samplingb.Maximum variation samplingc.Criterion Samplingd.Convenience Sampling14.29 points QUESTION 2Which of the following is a well-stated qualitative research question?a.Is there a correlation between marital satisfaction and number of years in the marriage?b.Do attitudes toward divorce, number of years in marriage, and marital commitment predict marital satisfaction?c.Is there a significant mean difference in attitudes toward divorce between individuals who have been married for one year and individuals who have been married for more than twenty years? d.How do participants describe the experience of being married for more than twenty years?14.285 points QUESTION 3The main instrument in qualitative research is a.The problem statementb.The researcherc.The survey or standardized test d.The structure of a project14.285 points QUESTION 4Note: Read this passage and respond to questions 4-7In the past year, 52 suicides amongst First Responders such as paramedics, firefighters and rescuers were reported in the country. It was not until recently that the relationship between working as a First Responder and increased rates of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and suicide was established. While considerable information exists regarding job-related stress in other occupations such as mental health workers and psychiatric staff working at emergency rooms, there is scant research on job-related stress among First Responders. Having awareness of stress triggering factors among First Responders will have the potential to alert supervisors and help in the creation of stress reduction programs or interventions targeting First Responders.Which of the following statements represent the significance of the study?a.First Responders are experiencing high level of stressb.Understanding First Responders’ stress triggering factors will alert supervisorsc.PTSD and suicide are major problems affecting First Respondersd.The relationship between PTSD and working as a First Responder has not been established 14.285 points QUESTION 5Note: Please refer to the previous passage to answer this question.Which of the following statements represent the research gap in this study?a.Stress triggering factors among First Responders are not knownb.The relationship between PTSD and working as First Responders has not been exploredc.There is a lack of stress prevention programs for First Respondersd.A job hazard analysis of First Responders’ tasks has not been conducted14.285 points QUESTION 6Note: Please refer to the previous passage to answer this question.A potential purpose statement for this study could be: The purpose of this study is to…a.Explore the relationship between PTSD and working as First Responderb.Create a stress prevention program for First Respondersc.Understand job satisfaction among First Respondersd.Explore stress triggering factors among First Responders14.285 points QUESTION 7Note: Please refer to the previous passage to answer this question.A research question for this study is: a.What is the relationship between developing PTSD and working as a First Responder? b.What type of stress prevention program fits First Responders’ needs? c.Are First Responders satisfied with their jobs?d.How do First Responders describe job related stress factors?
