PSY 605 WEEK 3 DISCUSSION 1
Discussion 1
Technology and
Development |
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the
American Psychological Association (2010), Ching-Ting, Ming-Chaun, &
Chin-Chung (2014), Kirkorian, Wartella, & Anderson (2008), and Paediatr
Child Health (2003) required articles for the week.
For your initial post, you will describe the positive and
negative influences of technology on human development during childhood (ages
3-12) or adolescence (ages 13-18).
Using the Ashford University Library, research
at least one peer-reviewed article that describes the way(s) in which
technology has either positively or negatively influenced physical, cognitive,
and/or psychosocial development within childhood or adolescence (e.g., the
effects of media violence on aggression or educational products on
learning). Describe factors which may mediate the effect(s) of technology
within your selected stage (e.g., education, gender, socioeconomic status,
culture, or family/parenting). Strive to find recent work, but seminal research
on the topic should be considered as well. Evaluate the unique scholarly
perspectives found in your research and interpret the implications of
technology on human development. Support your perspective(s) with
references from the required or peer-reviewed resources. Additionally, conclude
with a consideration of relevant ethical concerns (perhaps with regard to
policy decisions).
Guided
Response: Review several
of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59
p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies
earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in
this discussion.
Do you agree or disagree with your colleague’s
conclusion(s) regarding the positive and/or negative effect(s) of technology
within his or her chosen developmental periods? Whether or not you agree
with your colleague’s conclusion(s), describe how one of your colleague’s
stated advantages may actually be a disadvantage in the chosen developmental
periods or vice versa. Speculate regarding relative advantages and
disadvantages in another developmental period (e.g., infancy or
adulthood). Suggest mediating factors for the influence(s) of technology
that might have been overlooked by your colleague. Continue to monitor the
discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7 of the week and
respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.
