Homework: Case Study- Adolescent Psychology

Overview

The purpose of the homework is to provide you with an opportunity to apply course material to case studies involving hypothetical adolescents. Doing so will allow you to draw connections between content across modules and integrate that information to explain adolescent behavior and outcomes. The case studies are meant to illustrate what key course concepts would look like in a potential "real-world" situation.

Instructions

In your course materials you will find two case study documents that each contain a detailed history for a hypothetical adolescent followed by severalshort answer questions.

Question A. How does research on similarities between friends apply to Tony's friendships (see Brown & Larson, 2009)? Specifically, define the concepts of selection vs. socialization and apply them to Tony's experiences.

Question B. Brown and Larson (2009) describe several peer influence processes. Describe at least two mechanisms/factors related to peer influence that apply to Tony and his friends.

Question C. How would you classify Tony's mother's parenting style in terms of the 4 main parenting styles defined by Laursen and Collins (2009)? Provide support for your answer. How might her parenting style/practices relate to his social and behavioral outcomes?

Question D. Discuss Romantic Attachment Theory (see Connolly & McIsaac, 2009) and how it relates to Tony's experiences. Is his attachment to his mother secure or insecure? How does this attachment style influence his thoughts and interpretations of his romantic relationships?

Question E. How does research on conflict processes in adolescent romantic relationships apply to Tony's relationships (see Connolly & McIsaac, 2009)? How does Tony handle conflict with his girlfriends, and how does this relate tohis conflictwith his mother?

Question F. How might the timing of Tony's relationships (i.e., being an early starter)and his numerous relationship dissolutions influence hissocial and behavioral outcomes(see Connolly & McIsaac, 2009)?

Question G. Discuss three specific risk factors for Conduct Disorder that might apply to Tony (see McCloskey &Drabick, 2018).

Question H. According to research on treatments for behavioral disorders (see McCloskey & Drabick, 2018 and module video), what are some parenting practices Tony's mother could have implemented when he was younger to possibly prevent his behavioral issues from progressing? (The focus here should be on specific skills learned, not simply the names of specific treatments.)

Question I. According to research on treatments for Conduct Disorder (see McCloskey & Drabick, 2018 and module video), what are some skills that Tony could currently learn to help improve his behavior?(Again, the focus here should be on specific skills learned, not simply the names of specific treatments.)

Question J. Discuss Tony's situation from a Biblical perspective. Provide two scriptural verses that could offer encouragement, hope, or correction for Tony regarding his relationships and behavioral problems. Be sure that you are not simply quoting Scripture, but that you are also providing application and discussion from a Christian viewpoint. Note that a research citation is not required for this answer.
