Week 3: Adolescence: Eating Disorders
Introduction
Madison, age 14, flips through her favorite fashion magazine, and feels envious of the models contained therein. They are thin, radiant, and eerily beautiful. They live fantastic lives: swimming at the base of waterfalls, yachting across the globe, or conquering the streets of Manhattan. Just under her awareness, a small thought enters her mind: If I could look like this, my life could be amazing, too. I would grow up to have adventures and be successful. People would desire me.
Similarly, Scott, age 13, reads his favorite sports magazines and compares his own child-like body to his sports heroes’ tall, muscular prowess. He also is upset that his friends have grown tall, have deeper voices, and have sprouted body hair, while his body seems to have stayed the same.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed by conflicting information about appearance and food; within the same magazine you can see articles for the latest fad diets as well as recipes for high calorie desserts. Some athletes, actors, and fashion models take extreme measures to be physically fit or starve themselves to be very thin, while there is an epidemic of obesity. How can adolescents be empowered to accept and love their own bodies when society and media endorse a limited depiction of beauty and masculinity?
This week you examine the body image concerns of both male and female adolescents, including the media influence on these issues. You also examine the extent to which developmental theories account for eating disorders.
Objectives
Students will:
· Analyze differences in weight and body image concerns between males and females
· Analyze media influence on adolescent weight and body image issues
· Apply developmental theories to the explanation of adolescent eating disorders
· Apply theory-based interventions to address eating disorders in adolescent females

PSYCHOLOGY

is important – You now know that validity helps tell you if an experiment measures what you think it measures.

Document Preview:

You now know that validity helps tell you if an experiment measures what you think it measures. This Application Assignment will challenge you on external threats to validity. Generalization is the underlying issue in external validity. If a research study is only valid for the sample used in the study, it is not very helpful to the study of psychology.
Suppose you were struggling with a concept in a training class at work and wanted to try a study strategy. Imagine that the Instructor in the Discussion solved the internal validity problem and found that study Strategy 1 worked better than study Strategy 2. Remember that your Instructor’s study included a population of online students. You assume that the results of this study will generalize to your training class at work. However, a replication of this study found that study Strategy 1 only works well for online students in an undergraduate program. It cannot be generalized to your in-class training course at work. Therefore, it does not generalize across settings.
The assignment: (1–2 pages)
True statement: It is not possible to know whether a research finding will generalize to all populations of individuals. Explain how behavioral scientists deal with this problem, providing an example to illustrate your explanation.
Briefly explain how the concept of generalization relates to external validity.
Briefly explain the four different types of replications and the purpose of each. Include for each an original example. Then briefly explain how replications relate to external validity.

What is the definition of the concept? How could or does the definition differ from its use in nursing and health care versus in other disciplines?

Assignment: Concept Analysis in the Literature

Review of research literature is a beneficial strategy that can be employed for concept analysis. In undertaking this strategy, you seek to understand how others have defined a particular concept, including the steps that have been utilized to arrive at this definition. As members of the nursing field engage in multiple concept analyses, they can begin to develop consensus for concept definitions and/or revise them as necessary.

Note: The concept and practice problem you select will be your focus next week as well, when you explore the relationship between concept analysis and theory development.

To prepare:

Select a concept related to a practice problem of interest to you. You may use the concept and practice problem you selected for the Discussion.
Using the Walden Library, find and read at least two articles that demonstrate concept analysis for your selected practice problem.

By Thursday 6/15/17, write a 2- to 3-page paper with a minimum of 4 references from the list of required readings below that summarizes the steps of the concept analysis process utilized in each article. Include in your summary the following information for each article:

What is the definition of the concept?
How could or does the definition differ from its use in nursing and health care versus in other disciplines?
What characteristics define the concept? How do these apply to nursing and clinical practice?

Discussion post: Visual dysfunction in children (1-3 paragraphs)
Amanda, a 16-year-old female suffers from a pituitary gland tumor. This tumor presses on the optic chiasm and results in a condition where Amanda’s right eye can no longer see the right side of the visual field. It also affects her left eye such that it can no longer see the left side of the visual field.
Jacob, a 5-year-old, has scarring on the fusiform gyrus secondary to seizures. This damage has resulted in ventral stream disruption and in particular, problems with facial recognition.
What functional deficits might affect Amanda and Jacob? Considering their different developmental levels, list the deficits and describe their potential effects in the physical, cognitive-academic, and social-emotional areas of functioning. What interventions are appropriate, and how would they differ for each of these two individuals?
