Description:

For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com In developmental psychology, the focus of research is often to examine change over time. Developmental psychologists have some special research designs that allow them to accomplish this. Two such research designs are the cross-sectional design and the longitudinal design. A cross-sectional design measures different groups of people of different ages at the same time. A longitudinal design measures the same group of people at different ages and also, therefore, at different times. Use your textbook and the University online library resources to identify and research a topic in adult development (e.g., memory, muscle strength, etc.) that you wish to examine across various age agroups. Develop an outline for either a cross-sectional or longitudinal research design. Write a paper consisting of the following information: – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Psychology Research Designs For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com   In developmental
psychology, the focus of research is often to
examine change over time. Developmental
psychologists have some special research designs
that allow them to accomplish this. Two such
research designs are the cross-sectional design
and the longitudinal design. A cross-sectional
design measures different groups of people of
different ages at the same time. A longitudinal
design measures the same group of people at
different ages and also, therefore, at different
times.

Career, Health, and Family For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com   During early
adulthood, people begin make important life
decisions in three areas career, family, and
health. Young adults establish patterns of
nutrition and physical activity that can have
either positive or negative effects on their
physical development in later stages of
adulthood. They also begin to make decisions
about what career path to follow. At some point
during early adulthood, individuals also choose
either to marry or remain single, and decide
whether or not to start a family. Consider the
following example

PSY 307 Module 4 Assignment 2 Countering
Age-Related Stereotypes For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com   Many people fear and
dread the late adulthood stage of life because
they believe what awaits them is ill health and
cognitive decline. While that description fits
some adults in later life, it certainly does not
describe them all. Many older adults lead
healthy, active lives and are closely connected
to their families and communities. However,
stereotypes related to aging are extremely
prevalent in our culture and strongly influence
our attitudes toward aging. Use your textbook and
the University online library resources to
research age-related stereotypes.

PSY 307 Module 5 Assignment 1 LASA 2 Memory
Training in Older Adults For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com   One of the cognitive
changes older adults worry about and fear most is
memory loss. Some older adults may assume that
any memory loss means that they are developing
dementia. However, some memory loss that occurs
with aging is normal and can be managed by
understanding why it occurs and using
memory-training exercises to reduce its impact.
