On what basis did you select the person you interviewed?
How does the information you gathered fit with the psychosocial theoretical perspectives of adulthood presented in your textbook readings?
In what ways does this person seem to be healthy (physically, emotionally, socially, mentally, and spiritually)? What evidence can you provide to substantiate your response?
Engage Diversity and Difference:
How, and to what degree, has this person been shaped by his/her culture? How do you know?
What biases did you bring to this situation?
Human Behavior and the Social Environment:
What influences have shaped (forced) this individual’s behavior?
Based on what you have observed, in what ways does this person present him- or herself within the parameters of what is generally considered normal development?
