Think about your current developmental stage (emerging adulthood, adulthood or late adulthood), and after serious critical and thoughtful analysis, please respond to the following:
Discuss how the 3 domains (biosocial, cognitive and psychosocial) converge during this period of development, paying particular attention to the following:
Body/physical image
health and vitality
decision-making and risk-taking
self-concept
emotionality
relationships, intimacy, social networks
importance of school, academic engagement, family, work, and community
morals, values, and religion
Please also include in your discussion how your relationships with parents, children, partners and spouses, as well as cohort and peer group interactions have formed and impacted your development up to this point in your life.
To what degree have you noticed a shift in your values and opinions about social norms and issues from earlier developmental stages to now (i.e. abortion, sexuality, religiosity, biases, stereotypes and stereotype threats)? Have you experienced a change in your health habits with age? Have there also been changes with respect to your analytical, creative and practical intelligence? To what extent has your problem solving and decision-making become more (or less) flexible as you’ve aged? How has the quality and quantity of your relationships changed?
What are/were some of the key challenges during this developmental period and how were they resolved?
This paper is worth 50 extra credit points and can take the place of one exam score if you decide to complete it. It is not required—it’s extra credit. This reaction paper should:

contain narrative that is at least 3 pages and no more than 4 pages
be free of typos, grammar, punctuation and all other writing errors
answer each of the 4 questions posed above (spend roughly one page for each of the 4 areas)
be edited and proof-read prior to submission
include the references and sources (other than your textbook) if used on a separate APA style Reference Page. However, you are not required to use outside references. This is about you and your developmental growth, transitions, and challenges.
be submitted via the Etudes online submission process no later than Tuesday, December 2, 2014 before 11:59 PM.
This should be a fun assignment that demonstrates that you have carefully read the relevant parts of chapters on your specific developmental period, synthesized the readings and applied these concepts to your own personal developmental period.
