PSA For Emerging Adults
PSYC 210
PSA for Emerging Adults Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is to write a public service announcement (PSA) to help adults understand emerging adulthood.
Assignment Instructions:
1. Watch three videos found in the Reading & Study for this week, taking notes using the study guides provided.
2. Based on what you learn, write a PSA (public service announcement) to help older adults (parents, employers, pastors, etc.) understand emerging adults. Use these questions to organize your thoughts about emerging adulthood:
· Who are they? Define general characteristics.
· What are they doing? What developmental tasks are generally a part of this life stage (hint: think about Erikson’s theory).
· What are their major concerns?
· Which presentation provides the best advice? Which advice that was given is least helpful? What advice would you give your previous self (if you are past this stage) or your current self (if you are currently in emerging adultlhood)?
3. Your PSA must contain 300 – 500 words.
4. At least one specific idea from each of the video presentations must be included. You may also include information from Scripture, our textbook or other scholarly sources.
6. Submit your work. Please note that your assignment will be reviewed for originality using SafeAssign.
Submit this assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 6.
