In what ways do these policies enhance and/or hinder physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development for the affected person?

Prior to completing this discussion, please read the American Psychological Association (2010), Peters et. al. (2013) and Weed and McKeown (2003) required articles for the week.

For your initial post, evaluate the impact of public policy in regulating behaviors that are deemed detrimental to health and, therefore, affect development across the lifespan.

Using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library, research at least two peer-reviewed articles that explore trends with regard to a debated behavior, either the effects of parental smoking on children/adolescents or childhood/adolescent obesity/diet and exercise (You may use articles from the recommended resources list). Evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives found in your research. In addition, appraise some of the public policies that have been enacted to counter the issues arising from second-hand smoke or poor nutrition/exercise habits on your selected developmental period. Suggest and describe additional or alternate policies that might be enacted to counter the negative aspects of such circumstances.

Using the APA’s Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.), analyze ethical considerations in developmental psychology related to the creation and/or implementation of public policy regarding smoking bans or diet/exercise for children or adolescents.

Is the creation of public policy necessary in this area?
Based on the professional standards, is the creation of such policies ethical?
Describe how these types of policies are effective.

In what ways do these policies enhance and/or hinder physical, cognitive, and/or psychosocial development for the affected person?
Are there equally effective self-imposed restrictions that might be used instead?
How would you implement your suggested policy, and how would you plan to test the efficacy of the policy versus self-imposed restrictions?
Use evidence from the resources to support your statements.

Evaluate the developmental changes and appraise the effects of the physical,cognitive,emotional, and social environments.

Integrating the Field of Developmental Psychology: A Review of the Literature

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the age group / developmental stage you selected in Week 2 of the course. Remember, you must use this age group / developmental stage.

The age group is Adolescence (13-18 years)

You will then review the Developmental Psychology literature examining findings for that age group / developmental stage in terms of the physical, emotional, cognitive, social dimensions, and how they impact development and can best be used to meet developmental needs. Additionally, create a summary of the developmental stage as viewed through the lens of one developmental theory we have studied across the course (Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, Freud’s Psychosexual Theory, Erickson’s Psychosocial Theory, etc.).

In your paper,

Examine the physical changes associated with the selected developmental stage.
Examine the cognitive changes associated with the selected developmental stage.
Examine the emotional changes associated with the selected developmental stage.
Examine the social changes associated with the selected developmental stage.
Evaluate the developmental changes and appraise the effects of the physical,cognitive,emotional, and social environments.
Integrate developmental and environmental factors into an assessment of developmental needs.
Create a summary of the developmental stage as viewed through the lens of a selected developmental theory.
Propose solutions for areas not addressed by the theory.
Analyze the ethical considerations for research and practice with the selected developmental stage.

This is for the ASU Master’s of Science in Psychology program. Do not have any research or internship experience. Have worked as a tutor with children for the past 4-5 years at Mathnasium and Sylvan. My passion lies in cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. Want to earn my PhD eventually and work with people suffering from traumatic brain injuries and help them rehabilitate. Due to my work schedule cannot afford to attend in-person classes so ASU’s online program is convenient and they are known for their innovation and technology. Do not need to use any sources for this paper so do not include any.
