Directions:For this assignment, interview three adults from different periods of life (early, middle, and lateadulthood). The information gathered needs to include the major developmental forces that have influenced them as a person and their opinions regarding successful aging. Once you have collected the interviewees information, locate supportive research that complements your interviews and complete the worksheet by typing your answers directly into this worksheet.

Please use at least two resources beside your textbook (three sources total). Include proper in-text citations within your responses and include a reference list at the end of the paper.

Part I: Biopsychosocial Forces

First, define each of the major developmental force below, and include an example for each:

• Biological: Four basic forces of development that include all genic and health-related factors

• Psychological: One of the four basic forces of development that includes all internal perceptual, cognitive, emotional, and personality factors.

• Sociocultural: One of the four basic forces of development that include interpersonal, societal, cultural, and ethnic factors.

• Lifecycle: One of the four basic forces of development that reflects differences in how the same event or combination of biological, psychological, and sociocultural forces affects people at different points in their lives.

Part II: Interviewee Responses

In one to two paragraphs per age category/interviewee, summarize the significant forces that shaped their lives. Try to address things in all major categories. Hint: you might ask questions like, "How do you think your culture (e.g., religion, ethnicity), generation, education, etc. influenced your life?"

• Responses for Early Aged Interviewee (20s-40s)

• Responses for Middle Aged Interview (40s-60s):

• Responses for Late Aged Adult Interview (65 and over):

Which force(s) had the strongest influence on your interviewee's development (e.g. mental, physical, spiritual)? Hint: This might be different for each of your interviewees but try to find commonalities if possible.

Discuss how their response lines up with the academic research?Hint: you might share research that supports or refutes one of their experience with child rearing, divorce, racism, trauma, addiction, career, etc.

Part II: Successful Aging

Please answer each question completely. (one to two paragraphs)

• Interview each person regarding their perception of "successful aging" and summarize your results. Hint: What advice did they give you? What might they have done differently?

• What commonalities did your interviewees share, if any?

• Do you feel their age influenced their response? Why or why not?

• What other factors influenced their responses (e.g., spiritual beliefs, physical health)?

• How do their response line up with the academic research? Hint: you might share a study thataligns with their advice
