Developemental pyschology

After watching this week’s support video posted below, and this week’s lecture, please thoroughly answer the following questions:

• Which identity quadrant are you currently in as it relates to your major/career, and what evidence do you have to support that? Be honest here and talk about your transitions from one quadrant to another as you have progressed through them. For example, I have been in three quadrants throughout my adult life, and I can explain each phase in detail. You should be able to be the same with which quadrant you are in and any you have previously been in.
• Choose one or two people you love that are older than you, and discuss what you have witnessed throughout their lifetime as it relates to their jobs/careers and which quadrants they are and have been in. What are some challenges you see for them as it relates to life pressures and these quadrants? How will this information impact how you view college and career choices through the lens of Marcia’s quadrants?
• Lastly, what else can you tie in from lecture around this topic? Specifically, how might this transition period impact the developmental stages that will come later in life? (hint: you may want to look at Erikson’s stages beyond this period to foreshadow what might come later for individuals if Marcia’s insights are not heeded).
