Consider contextual factors and their impact on emotional development into young adulthood.

PSY 322 WEEK 7 7-1 Discussion: Emotional Challenges (Prompt, Info,& Resources) 

Context is particularly important for the assessment of developmental functioning. As you have learned in previous modules of this course, cultural, environmental, and socioeconomic factors impact our assessment of developmentally normative expectations and behavior in adolescence and early adulthood. In this discussion, you will consider contextual factors and their impact on emotional development into young adulthood.

After reviewing the module resources, respond to the following:

· How have expectations for early adulthood shifted across generations, and what factors contributed to these shifts?

· What is the impact of various forms of media exposure on emotional development and emotional health in early adulthood?

· Based on these observations, how do you think developmental expectations might further shift for the next generation of young adults?

· Write a post of 1 to 2 paragraphs.

· In Module One, complete your initial post by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.

· In Modules Two through Eight, complete your initial post by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone.

· Consider content from other parts of the course where appropriate. Use proper citation methods for your discipline when referencing scholarly or popular sources.
