The Application paper asks you to demonstrate your knowledge of two theories and your insight into yourself.
In 2000 words, you are to apply Erikson’s Psychosocial theory and one other developmental theory described in our textbook to one developmental period of your own life. The second theorist is one of your choosing but one highlighted in our textbook. The period of your life must be one that you have experienced, not one in the future, and is best chosen from experiences you remember. Infancy doesn’t usually lend itself to good papers.
You are to use your own life experiences to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two theories and use the theories to lend new perspective to your experiences.
An excellent paper is a 50/50 balance between developmental experiences and theoretical explanation, but is fully integrated, not divided into a theory section and a life experience section. It introduces some theoretical material that goes beyond what is found in the textbook. It avoids repetition and packs as much content into the words allowed as is reasonable.
Three non-textbook references are required. The textbook can be used as a reference, and cited, but that would be a fourth reference. APA title page, in-text citations and reference page are required.
Textbook is Life-Span Development Santrock, John

For this assignment, use the three tests you selected for your assignment in Week 2. Locate and summarize a minimum of two articles related to the technical qualities for each selected test.
For each article:
List the APA reference for each journal article (a minimum of six).
-Identify if the article addresses reliability or validity.
-Discuss if the article addresses sources of error variance, reliability estimates, evidence of validity, or bias and fairness.
-Identify the specific type of reliability or validity (for example, test-retest reliability, predictive validity, etc.).
-Identify the overall results of the research, including any psychometric or statistical outcome.
Here are the 3 tests that I chose:
1) BASC
2) The Pearson Conners-3 Test
3)BRIEF
After adding a new question, begin to answer your question. You can create your own discussion question such as “How do stereotypes shape behavior in relation to both the self and others?” (Do not use this example question for your post) HINT: Some questions can be found in your book and also in the course lectures if you do not want to make up your own.

1.- Why is Society consenting of Motherhood Mandate?
Because of stereotypes and gender roles, our society has deemed women as childbearing places instead of a life. Women are seemed to be made for having children in the same way that men are made to work and provide for the family. These stereotypes and gender roles can be very harmful to women especially because of the pressure there is to have children. For women who cannot have children, this pressure can be very harmful and disrespectful. There is also not very good health care for mothers to even be having as many children as society deems possible which makes the question even more alarming. Why is Society consenting of this motherhood mandate? As mentioned by the Chapter nine PowerPoint, there are many stereotypes that impose that women cannot feel real happiness without being mothers even though research has not confirmed these claims at all. Society keeps pushing the narrative that women need to be mothers and have children in order to be happy.
2.- Why do you think more and more women are choosing to follow voluntary childlessness? Can this be harmful to society?
According to the book, more and more women are choosing to follow voluntary childlessness. In the United States alone, the percentage of childless women ages 30 to 34 has increased from 26.2% to 30.8% from the years 2006 to 2016 (Liss et al., 2019). Voluntary childlessness is when a woman chooses to refrain from having children. I believe this could be caused by the rise in feminism, the lack of present partners that are willing to help in child raising, and the growth of women going into the workforce. Feminism taught women that they should not succumb to societal standards and can be called to be more than just mothers. Not only this, but it has taught them that the primary purpose in a woman’s life is not only to be a child bearer and raiser. In our patriarchal society, men are held less responsible when it comes to raising children, and as a result, a lot of them do not know how to properly help in raising their own children. They feel that their primary duty is to work and provide for their family, but there are a lot of different aspects that entail what providing for a family truly is. Another aspect that can explain why more women are choosing to not have children is the fact that they are now working full-time jobs and lack the time or energy. In the US, we also lack health benefits that can help women raise children. I do not see this being necessarily harmful, but it does put a stop to the traditional nuclear family, and may cause the population to decrease (only very slightly and to a point that is hardly noticeable).
3.-The society of motherhood
The motherhood mandate, which is described as the social pressure on women to become mothers, is understood by society as the most important role of a female. As you wrote “Women are seemed to be made for having children in the same way that men are made to work and provide for the family” This is a stereotype totally learned from generation to generation.
On the other hand, the idea that women need to be mothers and have children in order to be happy, is also a limiting belief for women. Let it be understood that those beliefs are engraved in our culture. We have also been witnesses to the change that these last decades brought around motherhood and women. Today we see almost half of women decide not to have children and are happy. It is their choice of a fulfilled life.
The mentality of society is changing, a childless woman is less judged than before, especially if she has a successful career. However, if it is the opposite, then it is seen with pity. That side still needs to change. Being a mother, is a personal decision, and it needs to be respected and supported by society, that means, better health programs and labor flexibility so that a woman can be a mother at the same time as she succeeds in her career.
I think that society continues to support the motherhood mandate because, at the end, it is essentially a way to control the development and freedom of women.

Identity Formation
According to Erik Erikson, the search for identity begins. Write about some of the key concepts in this stage of development and use your own examples to illustrate them. Looking back on adolescence, how did you use hypothetical reasoning skills to experiment with different selves? How does your understanding of your ethnicity and culture contribute to your identity?
