Review the PSY605: Mila Singer Life Story (UPLOADED). Choose one aspect of Milaâs life to alter. This element can be an event, personal characteristic, environmental factor, or an aspect of the timeline. In your initial post:
Identify the original life story element you intend to change and explain how you intend to change it.
Use Eriksonâs psychosocial stages of development to explain Milaâs stage of development at the time this change takes place and address how the change might affect Milaâs psychological development into adulthood.
After identifying the initial change and describing it:
Create a list of three additional outcomes in Milaâs development across the life span that will likely be affected by this change.
For each, identify the current outcome in Milaâs life story and propose a rationale for changing this outcome.
Apply either Bronfenbrennerâs ecological systems theory or Vygotskyâs sociocultural theory to Milaâs life to hypothesize how and why these outcomes would likely adjust from the changes you have made.
Briefly summarize your personal reaction(s) to making the initial change and how it altered the subsequent outcomes. Explain how differences in life events create differences in human development.
