Research Writing Papers will include and be graded on the following:
In 750 to 1000 words, identify ONE developmental stage (from Sigmund Freud, Erik Erickson or Jean Piaget) and analyze it in relation to your personal life experience using an assigned format (MLA/APA).
Please use yourself for this development research paper assignment. (Please do NOT use your children, siblings, nieces or nephews, children you work with or may know, family members, or the people you work with, or people you may know). Also, choose a relatively current stage so you can make connections and give examples that you remember to support or disprove the stage of the theory. If you have questions or need clarification, please ask your instructor.
These are the theories and stages to choose from:
· Freud’s theory of Psychosexual Development: Oral, Anal, Phallic, Latency Period, or Genital. See page 464 in the textbook. Please do not write about dream theory, the id, the ego, or the superego for this assignment. Focus on one stage of Psychosexual Development.
· Erickson’s theory of Psychosocial Development: Trust vs Mistrust, Autonomy vs Shame and Doubt, Initiative vs Guilt, Industry vs Inferiority, Ego Identity vs Role Confusion, Intimacy vs Isolation, Generativity vs Stagnation, or Integrity vs Despair. See page 353 in the textbook.
· Piaget’s theory of Cognitive Development: Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, or Formal Operational. See page 346 in the textbook.
Address the criteria listed below:
1. (Introduction) Display an overall understanding of the chosen developmental theory.
2. (Thesis) Identify the theoretical stage that most impacted your development.
3. (Body) Evaluate your life experiences to explain the significance of the identified stage. Be sure to use integrated supporting statements from research to back up your comments.
4. (Conclusion) Emphasize how the stage impacted your personality/development. Discuss the stage, research, and your experiences, making connections between them to determine if the theory is valid in your opinion? Explain why you do or do not believe that the theory is valid and make connections between the theory, your personal examples, and research.
5. You must cite at least four credible sources using the APA/MLA format. You must cite at least four credible sources. Credible sources are as follows: websites ending in .gov. or .edu, journals from a library database, or books specific to the subject matter (textbooks are permitted as one of the four sources).
6. Students must display use of scholarly writing skills (grammar, structure, terminology, and MLA or APA format).
7. Research Papers will not be accepted without the Turnitin Originality Report with less than 25% match, in-text citations, and a work cited page with full references. You will submit your research paper in the Canvas research paper drop box and the research paper will automatically be submitted to Turnitin.
You may submit your paper in Canvas to Turnitin as many times as you find necessary up until the due date. This way you can submit your paper, read the originality report, make the necessary changes to any found matches by paraphrasing your work further, and then resubmitting the research paper to Turnitin. Please note that any submission after the first submission may take up to 24 hours to receive the new Originality Report. Also as College Level Writers use quotes sparingly…Please Paraphrase (put the information in your own words) the information you are using from your sources instead of using a lot of quotes! Please cite your sources whether you quote, summarize or paraphrase!
