Your assignment is to read and analyse two vignettes, each of which describes a case of human development. You will provide your assessments by responding to six prompts that address various domains of human development. The prompts that you will respond to appear below. You should complete the full set of prompts for each vignette.

Importantly, we are interested in your ability to draw conclusions directly from the vignettes created for you. While most responses can be answered using the information from the lectures and their associated readings to respond, you may wish to seek additional resources and research reports to justify your responses. More information on what we are looking for is located within the rubric at the end of this document.

PROMPTS

For each vignette, please respond to all prompts below. Your responses should be phrased in full sentences. Importantly, justify/explain your responses. Remember to include both the content (e.g., the specific factor/s in question) AND how this might affect the child’s development in your responses.

1. What are the potential biological factors that might have contributed to the individual’s development?
2. Which parenting influences could have contributed to the individual’s development?
3. Does the individual display any physical or motor development anomalies? How might they have contributed to the individual’s development?
4. What social experiences was the child exposed to? How might they have influenced the individual’s emotional development?
5. What is the individual’s attachment style? How might their attachment style contribute to their development?
6. Give an overall analysis of how the individual’s development relates to each subsystem of Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological framework. (500 words max; 50 points)

Remember, to answer prompt 6 you should move beyond summarising your responses to prompts 1-5 and cite relevant information to justify/explain your response.

Word limit per vignette is 1,250 words (as a rough gauge, ~100-150 words for prompts 1-5 and ~500 words for prompt 6)
