Identify development
Starting with middle childhood (and a little earlier), the textbook has focused much attention on identity development. For this paper, I want you to apply at least two of these concepts to your own identity development. You can reveal as much or as little personal information as you are comfortable with.
I would suggest looking over the parts of the textbook that talk about identity development and decide how they apply to you. Then find 2-3 related articles from peer reviewed, professional psychology journals (preferably published in the past five years). You may also use the textbook, but be sure to cite and reference it properly. Then, write your paper.
Be sure to have a good overall introduction that describes how you are applying research on identity development to your own development. You should only need 1-2 paragraphs for each of these points. Work to paraphrase (include appropriate in text citations) unless there is no better way to state what the authors of your articles have to say. If you do use quotations, be sure to include the in text citation with the page number). Here’s the link to the citations part of the APA website: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations
Remember, you must drop your paper in .doc, .docx, or.pdf format into the dropbox. If you copy and paste your paper into the comment box, you will have to redo it.
