Option A: Novel Coronavirus and Human Development
I. Gather your background information.
A. Reviewthefollowingassignedmaterialsfromthesemesterandanynotesyou took on them.
1. Lally & Valentine-French – pages 10-15, 21-13 (Bronfenbrenner)
2. National Council on the Developing Child (2014) – Toxic Stress
3. Growing Minds (film)
4. Adolescents Under Construction (film)
5. Clay (2003)
6. Mischel (2017)
B. Findandread2articlesfromreputablesourcesonthenovel
coronavirus/COVID-19. This is the only outside source needed.
1. Select articles based on how well they address the focus of the paper
(e.g., the impact of COVID-19 on individuals, states, or the United States).
2. Aim for two articles that don’t cover the same thing. It’s fine if there is
slight overlap in basic information (e.g., what COVID-19 is and how it is
transmitted), but the main points of the articles should be different.
II. Write a 3-5 page paper using Bronfenbrenner’s (bio)ecological systems model to discuss how the novel coronavirus/COVID-19 might impact social, cognitive, and biological development (e.g., during childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and late adulthood). Your paper should discuss the following:
A. Macrosystem – D efine the macrosystem. Identify specific examples (systems and structures) at the macrosystem level that have been impacted by the novel coronavirus. Explain the nature of this impact on the system itself and how the impact of the virus on the system potentially impacts the developing individual.
B. Exosystem - Define the exosystem. Provide an example of a developing individual’s exosystem. Discuss how the novel coronavirus would impact the exosystem and how the impact on the exosystem potentially impacts the developing individual.
C. Mesosystem-Definethemesosystem.Provideanexampleofadeveloping individual’s mesosystem. Discuss how the novel coronavirus would impact the mesosystem and h ow the impact of the novel coronavirus on the mesosystem potentially impacts the developing individual.
D. Microsystem – D efine the microsystem. Provide an example of a developing individual’s microsystem. Discuss how the novel coronavirus would impact the microsystem and how the impact of the novel coronavirus on the microsystem potentially impacts the developing individual.
III. Things to Consider

Final Paper for PSY 240 SU20 Foust
Worth 5 points
A. Thegoalofthispaperoptionisforyoutoexplorethemanywaysthenovel coronavirus can shape developing individuals. I expect that you are using the information from the assigned materials (listed above) to explain social, cognitive, and physical development and reason about the potential impact of the novel coronavirus on that development. This will require review and critical thinking. This is not a place for you to discuss your personal experiences. It’s fine if your personal experiences with coronavirus give you ideas for the examples you generate but the paper is not about you! Approach this paper with the mindset of a developmental psychologist (one who happens to be living during the time of the novel coronavirus)!
B. Each of the following developmental periods should be discussed in your paper: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and late adulthood. You need to use an example from at least one of those developmental periods when you discuss each of Bronfenbrenner’s systems. However, you do not need to discuss all periods with each system (but if you feel moved to, go ahead). For instance, you might choose to focus on an individual in adolescence when discussing the macrosystem but focus on an individual in late adulthood when discussing the microsystem.
C. Early on in your paper, you should include a (overall) summary of Bronfenbrenner’s model and a brief explanation of the novel coronavirus.
