Post and describe at least one advantage and one disadvantage of each living arrangement (i.e., independent living, assisted living, and living with an adult child).

Later Life Considerations

As more and more of the U.S. and world population ages into old age, it is becoming increasingly critical that societies have a better understanding of what works well and what perhaps does not work so well when considering eldercare. What types of living situations ensure happier and healthier elders? What factors in eldercare may impact working adults and loved ones? What’s the effect of varied living situations on societies and economies as a whole? Finally, what does the way a family or society treat elders say about that family or society in terms of values and belief systems? As you consider these questions, further think about how building your understanding of eldercare might help you not only in your professional work but also how it might impact you on a personal level as well.

For this Discussion, you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of eldercare living.

To Prepare

Consider the following:

Imagine you are middle-aged and belong to a family where your children are late adolescents. You have two teenage children and two very elderly parents. In some cultures, it is common for elders to live in an independent living community, retirement community, or assisted living communities. In other cultures, elders will come live with an adult child.

Post and describe at least one advantage and one disadvantage of each living arrangement (i.e., independent living, assisted living, and living with an adult child).

What are some of the consequences of this shift to peer reliance? What are the advantages or disadvantages?

During adolescence, there is a developmental shift of focus on peer acceptance and approval. This is also a time when adolescents believe they are the center of attention and have an “imaginary audience,” meaning everyone is watching them.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

• What are some of the consequences of this shift to peer reliance? What are the advantages or disadvantages?
• How does this shift relate to body image, eating disorders, alcohol and tobacco use, drug use, and promiscuity?

Identify the main theorists or researchers associated with your research topic.

Successful completion of a doctoral dissertation requires significant amounts of independent reading on the research topic. Understanding how your research topic is valuable to your area of expertise is also important. In this assignment, you will discuss the theoretical framework for your research and identify some of the main researchers or theorists in the field.

General Requirements: Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

· Doctoral learners are required to use APA 7th style for their writing assignments. The APA Style Guide is located in the Student Success Center.

· Refer to Chapters 2-4 of the  Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for specific guidelines related to doctoral-level writing. These chapters contain essential information on manuscript structure and content, clear and concise writing, and academic grammar and usage.

· You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

Directions: Using information you have read related to your branch of psychology and dissertation topic, write a brief paper (750-1,000 words) that identifies theories and problems specifically related to your branch of psychology. Address the following in your paper:

1. Identify your emphasis area and dissertation topic.

2. Explain the need for your research.

3. Identify the main theorists or researchers associated with your research topic.

4. Discuss at least one theoretical framework you are considering for your research. How does it relate to the need for your research topic?

5. Identify at least one academic journal that specializes in research related to your topic. How will the journal benefit your research?

PART B: Leadership and you

Tell us about that one time that you led others, or your current role as a leader.  It can be leading a team/organization etc., at work, leading your family, or leading at your Church for example.  What was your experience? Was it difficult? Easy? What made it difficult or easy?

In your discussion of PART B, please include at least one of the ideas which are given in the following sections:

Leadership: at the core of human experience (p. 2 – 19)

Book Leadership: A communication perspective

Discuss two or three ways that these three designs differ from one another.

Instructions:

This week we will continue the process of compiling your edited and polished work for your portfolio, demonstrating your mastery of a selected learning outcome from your program.

Instructions Select one learning outcome from your program of study, utilizing a different outcome than previously selected. Then, select two graded artifacts (i.e., written assignments, projects, papers, discussion posts, or responses) that you feel best demonstrate your mastery of the selected program outcome.

When selecting a previous work sample, you can review and retrieve your Waypoint assignments from previous courses from within Waypoint itself.

Utilizing the feedback you received on these artifacts from your instructor as well as the things you have learned since submitting this work, revise and expand on these artifacts to create polished and corrected examples you can add to your portfolio.

· Utilize track changes to make additions, corrections, and changes to your work in order for the instructor to review the changes that were made.

· Add two additional professional and current resources to support and improve your artifacts.

· Learning outcome selected: RESEARCH DESIGN : demonstrates Design research projects that employ evidence-based methods and practices, and are framed within legal and ethical boundaries

Topic:

There are six main qualitative research designs, which all serve specific research purposes. The six qualitative research designs include 1) case study, 2) ethnography, 3) phenomenological study 4) grounded theory study, 5) narrative inquiry, and 6) content analysis. For this discussion, you will find similarities and differences among the six designs, as well as determine which design approach may be suitable for your selected topic. As you learn about the six qualitative research designs, think about how you could potentially use one or more of these designs to conduct your own study based on your selected topic from Week 1.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion,

· Read Chapter 8 of the textbook.

· Choose three of these six qualitative research designs you are most interested in exploring regarding your topic.

In your initial discussion forum post,

· List the three qualitative research designs you chose.

· Discuss two similarities that these three designs have in common.

· Discuss two or three ways that these three designs differ from one another.

· Explain, briefly, how one of these qualitative research designs could be used to design a study related to your selected topic.
