adolescent and young adult Psychological Approaches

We will be discussing several specific topics in the field of adolescent and young adult psychology in this course. Still, it’s important that we understand
those topics through the lens of different psychological approaches. In this assignment, I want you to explore and reflect on some of the approaches and
theories of adolescence.
Write a short paper (at least 2 full pages, double-spaced) in which you:
Define adolescence (in your own words! I am NOT looking for a direct quote here.)
Describe two different theories or approaches that you learned about in your reading. (Again, in your own words, although you’ll want to use your textbook as
a reference. You may want to search for additional outside sources, but make sure that you cite any additional sources.)
[These are some of the many theories and approaches you might choose to discuss: Freud’s Psychoanalytic Approach, Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory,
Classical Conditioning (Pavlov), Behaviorism (Watson), Operant Conditioning (Skinner), Social Learning Theory (Bandura), Humanistic Approach, Piaget’s
Stages of Cognitive Development, Information-Processing Theories, Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory, Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory,
Biopsychology, and Evolutionary Psychology]
Relate your own adolescent experience to each of the two theories of adolescence you chose. Discuss how your experience matches, or doesn’t match, the
theory. Use examples from your experience to make a connection to each theory. Cite your sources!
Be sure to proofread for spelling and grammatical errors. It’s important that you use proper grammar and capitalization in all of your writing in this course. Be
sure to cite your sources using APA-formatted in-text citations and include an APA-formatted reference page.
