In lieu of a proctored final exam, you will write a comprehensive, self-reflective case study. You will describe a number of critical events that have occurred in your life, emanating from no fewer than four different life stages (i.e., infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence). You may use your own memory of events and also consult family members.
Once you have identified a minimum of four different, significant events (e.g., early hospitalization, divorce of parents, negative peer-group influence), you will analyze each event based on psychological research and theory. You will consult peer-reviewed academic journal articles and scholarly Web sites to determine how different psychological theories would explain and describe the issues specified in your paper, identifying the primary psychological concepts and constructs involved. You should use a minimum of four scholarly resources in preparing this case study.
Your paper should be six to eight pages long, excluding the title and reference pages, and all in-text citations and references should be formatted in proper APA style.
