ADOLESCENCE TO EMERGING ADULTHOOD

I have attached the instructions below. 

CASE

STUDY ANALYSIS: ADOLESCENCE TO EMERGING ADULTHOOD

Overview

Early childh

o

od beg

in

s at the end of toddlerhood, at approximately age two, and

continues until middle childhood begins with formal school entry at age five or

six

.

During th

is

period, there are greater changes in cognitive development than

any other perio

d of life. At the same time, family relationships provide children

with their earliest social experiences. Attachment patterns developed in early

childhood influence an individual’s ability to successfully develop and maintain

peer and adult relationships

throughout the lifespan. For this assignment, you will

apply the concepts you’ve learned to an analysis of a case study dealing with

adolescence or emerging adulthood.

Preparation

·

If you haven’t done so, choose one of the

following case studies from your

Broderick and Blewitt text to analyze the developmental and contextual

issues related to the selected case. Each case study includes a set of questions

that can guide your analysis of the pertinent issues for the particula

r case.

The third core writing skill of the

Capella Writing Standard

s is related to

evidence

.

Capella Writing Standard

Integrate appropriate

 evidence

Integrate into text appropriate use of scholarly sources, evidence, and citation style.

Developing your skills as a scholar requires you to consider your research methods,

source credibility, and synthesis of complex information. Ensuring you are able to

i

ntegrate appropriate evidence in your texts will better situate you for success and

support your development as a scholar.

APA Style and Format

Capella requires that learners use APA Style

 

to provide attribution to the authors of

external sources. APA prom

otes the abilities to paraphrase and summarize, create

concise texts, and develop in

–

text citations and reference pages that will connect

your readers to important sources of evidence.

APA has developed a virtual representation of the APA manual on Academi

c Writer,

a tool that you can use to support you in following APA format. All Capella learners

are provided with a subscription to Academic Writer.

Consistency in the order, structure, and format of a paper allows readers to

focus on a paper’s content rather than its presentation.

To format a paper in APA Style, writers can typically use the default settings

and automatic formatting tools of their wor

d-

processing program or make only

minor adjustments.

The guidelines for paper format apply to both student assignments and manuscripts being submitted for publication to a journal. If you are using APA Style to create another kind of work (e.g., a website, conference poster, or PowerPoint presentation), you may need to format your work differently in order to optimize its presentation, for example, by using different line spacing and font sizes. Follow the guidelines of your institution or publisher to adapt APA Style formatting guidelines as needed.

ACADEMIC WRITER

What Does It Mean To “Use APA”?

· Law Icon

BASICS OF ETHICAL ACADEMIC WORK

APA has a foundation in academic honesty and integrity. To uphold these terms, writers must provide citation of external ideas or sources, eliminate bias from their texts, and aim for objectivity.

· File Text Icon

BASICS OF DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION

APA provides writers with organizational tactics for sections of a text as well as standard formatting guidelines for academic texts, including formatting for the title page, table of contents, and tables and/or figures.

· Quotes Icon

BASICS OF CITATION

APA promotes the author/year writing process, wherein ideas from external sources are immediately cited in-text, using the year of publication.

APA Paper Formatting

Use this basic APA paper template for your course submissions. Note that most assignments do not require you to include an abstract, so you can simply omit that page. 

View APA Formatting in a Sample Paper

Why Does Capella Use APA?

APA citation style is used “around the world in psychology and also in fields ranging from nursing to social work, communications to education, business to engineering, and other disciplines” (APA, p. xvii). This is why Capella uses APA; our academic programs are primarily in the social sciences. Additionally, the use of a single citation style ensures consistency across degrees, programs, and schools.
