Cultures idealizing thinness, pressure from peers to fit in, and constant images of bodily perfection shown by mass media, along with additional physiological and psychological factors, can combine to create the perfect storm for adolescents struggling with eating disorders. For this Assignment, choose one peer-reviewed research study about eating disorders that focuses on a minority group of adolescents. Consider connections between physiological development, adolescence, and eating disorders.Submit a 2- to 4-page paper for which you articulate a position on eating disorders in adolescent girls from diverse racial and cultural experiences. Explain how the position is related to the biological and/or physiological development as well as psychological development of adolescent girls. Further, explain how such findings can inform evidence-based social work practice.

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
