Select one area in lifespan development that you would like to study further.
Identify a hypothesis about this area of development.
Identify the various research methods and theories used to study human behavior, and choose one of these methods.
Write a 700-word research design for your study in which you would evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of your chosen methodology.
· For example, you can study how social development throughout the lifespan is affected by children born with fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). You may hypothesize that children with FAS will have difficulties with peer relationships throughout their life. To study this, you may use a case study.
· Set up this design, and discuss the various times throughout the lifespan you would study and also discuss how you might do this (structured interviews, observations, and so on)
In this paper, I will identify a hypothesis about social and emotional development in the human lifespan development. I chose to write about the middle childhood and the child have been born as a fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS).
