SEXUALITY ACROSS THE LIFESPAN CASE STUDY

Overview

As you have been reading about Tad, Celia, and Frederick, you may have started thinking about the issues they face. Many of the major theories in psychology provide insight into the field of human sexuality and issues like these. Chapter 2 in your course text explains these connections. For example, learning theory can help us understand how a certain perfume or cologne can elicit sexual arousal through classical conditioning (Hyde & Delamater, 2020). In this first assignment, you will have a chance to practice and build your skills by digging into one of these theories and applying it to an issue in a case study.

Preparation

Complete the following:

· Read the  Sexuality Across the Lifespan Case Studies [PDF] and choose one of the case studies you would like to use for this assignment, if you have not already.

· Choose one issue found in the case study on which to focus this assignment.

· Select one theory from Chapter 2 in your course text from the following categories: evolutionary, psychological, critical, or learning theories. The theory you select can help explain the issue faced by the person depicted in the case.

· Review the  How to Write a Research Question [PDF] document to learn how to write an appropriate, well-crafted research question for your assignment.
