Hello there, You are required to write a paper (minimum of 800 words) using APA

Hello there,
You are required to write a paper (minimum of 800 words)
using APA style (NEW 7th edition) citations and references. You will
also need to include an APA formatted title page. You do not need to
worry about APA requirements such as font size, margin size, etc. In
preparation for your paper, you are asked to pick a developmental stage, read
the textbook chapter about that stage, watch a movie with a character who is at
that developmental stage, and observe the developmental phenomena of the character
in that movie. You may use a television show instead of a movie if you wish,
but be mindful of how much time you will have to spend watching it to complete
the assignment. If you opt to use a TV show, it is recommended that you pick a
few specific episodes to focus on rather than the entire series.
You are then to write a paper with a focus on comparing
and contrasting developmental psychological research and theory with your
observations about the movie character’s developmental processes and issues.
Please note that the assignment is not to summarize a movie, but to
emphasize the presentation and description of the research. Short summaries of
observations from the movie character should be used to illustrate concepts,
theories, and research findings from the developmental psychology literature in
the textbook.
For example, you might choose to focus your paper on
adolescence. You would then read the Adolescence chapter in your textbook and
watch a movie that features an adolescent character. While watching, you would
look out for and take notes on adolescent developmental issues. In your paper,
you would then present relevant concepts, theories, and research findings from
the developmental psychology literature (from the textbook) and compare and
contrast these with short and succinct examples taken from your observations
from the movie.
• If your movie character had a significant conflict with parents, you would present research, theories, and
concepts from the textbook about adolescent-parent conflict. Then give brief
examples of how the movie’s portrayal of this conflict compares and contrasts
with research.
• If substance use is portrayed in
the movie, you would describe research, theories, and concepts from the
textbook about substance use. Then briefly compare and contrast this with how
these issues are portrayed in the movie.
You are asked to describe at least 4 developmental issues,
theories, research findings, or concepts and compare these with the character’s
experience. You will be asked to cite and reference the movie according to APA
style (information on APA style will be posted to Blackboard and covered in
class). In addition to drawing on the research presented in the textbook, you
must use, cite, and reference one peer-reviewed academic journal article that
is relevant to your character’s development in addition to the research you
take from your textbook (information on finding academic journal articles will
be provided on Blackboard and reviewed in class). Explain what the research
question and hypothesis of the research were. Give a brief
summary of the conclusions the authors draw from the research. Then compare
these findings with how the developmental stage is portrayed in your chosen
film. Do the characters’ portrayals match the research findings? Explain why
or why not. In your paper, do not include information from websites or other non-academic sources (like magazines, newspapers, or videos).
