NO QUOTATIONS.. PLEASE PARAPHRASE! Prior to completing this discussion, read the
required materials from the Shaffer (2011) text, as well as the Berzonsky (2004), Fiese (2013),
and Burkitt (2010) articles.
Review the PSY605: Mila Singer Life StoryPreview the document document. Choose one aspect
of Mila’s life to alter. This element can be an event, a personal characteristic, an environmental
factor, or an aspect of the timeline. In your initial post, identify the original life story element you
intend to change and explain how you intend to change it. Use Erikson’s psychosocial stages of
development to explain Mila’s stage of development at the time this change takes place and address how the change affects Mila’s psychological development into adulthood.
After identifying the initial change and describing it, create a list of three additional outcomes in
Mila’s development across the lifespan that will likely be affected by this change. For each,
identify the current outcome in Mila’s life story and propose a rationale for changing this
outcome. Apply either Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory or Vygotsky’s sociocultural
theory to Mila’s life to create a hypothesis as to how and why these outcomes would likely adjust
due to the changes you have made.
Briefly summarize your personal reaction(s) to making the initial change and how it altered the
subsequent outcomes. Explain how differences in life events create differences in human
development
