Jenner's Biosocial Theory
Kylie Jenner is 18 years old, and the youngest of the Kardashian sisters. She is also the daughter of Kris and Bruce Jenner, now known as Caitlyn Jenner. She was born and raised August 10, 1997 in Los Angeles, CA. Before the fame, Kylie Jenner was a cheerleader for Sierra Canyon School and her first modeling gig was for Sears modeling campaign called Crush Your Style. Kylie has also worked as a runway model for Forever 21 Hello Kitty line. Recently she has brought a lot of attention to the media when she dated rapper named Tyga, who is now twenty-six, at the age of seventeen. Currently, she is starring on the show called ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ with her siblings living the glamorous life. And she has a Lip Kit project launching soon, …show more content…
This theory covers what influenced Kylie Jenner to become the young famous star that she is. As well as, the different things she did leading up to her name in the industry. From being in the industry of modeling, and being center of attention of the most famous people of her family, it has caused her to become more mature earlier than most teens at this age. Simply because of the individuals she has worked with to get to this point in her life. At this point in her life, she is still trying to find herself as a person and her maturity level is much higher than the average adolescent. Although she lives with her family, she is still around adults just as much because she’s a celebrity. And this can affect her development. It’s easy for her to pick up on habits and to learn things from those in the environment. And this theory, particularly, shows her mindset from a younger adolescent to an older adolescent. However, cognitively she thought about things more differently because she was in the spotlight at the age of nine with her …show more content…
Being one of the youngest of many siblings, Kylie has always gotten what she wanted most of the time. She grew up among a family of riches. Her father Bruce Jenner, known as Caitlyn Jenner, was an American television personality and retired athletic champion. Following her mother Kris Jenner who was also an American television personality and was recognized more after appearing on the reality show ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’. Although Kylie Jenner is only 18 years old, she acts much older and looks older than the age she is. Which shows her level of maturity. Most adolescents at this age, dress like their age, but Kylie Jenner dresses differently. She dresses more on an adult level. Most kids in today’s society wear more of the trend amongst them. However, because she does has money she is able to look more sophisticated and buy more expensive named brand clothing. Her family has also influenced her development, because she’s had to experience the transition her father made after divorcing her mother. Instead of being a man, he wanted to become a woman, which is why he now goes by the name of Caitlyn Jenner. When he broke the news to her and her family, it was shocking but they still accepted him and it didn’t change the love they had for him. She was very close with her father, and in an interview at the award’s show back in April, she stated “I was a little scared because I didn't know how much would change,” the

    Especially at the stage of adolescence, girls like Sharon tend to be extremely self-aware of their own image and how they portray themselves towards the public. This is because as Sharon gets older, she’s more likely to care about how other people think of her. Age influences Sharon’s self-concept because as she gets older she’ll tend to behave in a certain way when she thinks she doesn’t belong anywhere, to be able to fit into everybody’s standards. As Sharon gets older, she’s more likely to develop her own self-image however peer pressure will prevent her from doing that as she will feel more pressured into fitting in and more fearful of being rejected by the majority.…

    She "was living a life based on [them]," (277) much like many other kids. We all are bogged down by what we can't do. It depresses us and thwarts our progression. It wasn't her incapacities that stopped her, it was those around her. She didn't provide "any reasonable explanation for these refusals," and perhaps that is why it drew so much attention. If she had told them why then maybe they could justify her feelings. But not doing so only perpetuated questions and suspicion. The reader can relate to this indecisiveness because we have all experienced a time in our lives when we just didn't care about anything. The quintessential teenager is characterized by a chronic indecisiveness towards life. By exploring this aspect, Kaysen is able to draw the reader closer to her and makes this technique an effective strategy in her…

    The variance in one’s traits can be attributed to his/her environment and genetic factors to a bigger percentage. Genetic composition largely influences psychological traits and becomes a key driving force behind individual behaviors. In the case of Chris, his personality matches that of his father to a large extent. As a family friend, I know firsthand that Chris’s father is as agreeable as his son. Their similarity is a perfect example of one inheriting his/her parents’ traits. Just like Chris, his father is a community worker and is always seeking to help people. Also, Mr. Kim enjoys doing a follow-up on his activities and is always asking his son’s friends to follow his adventures on Twitter. When I look at Chris, I see his father, and most of the time, he is called Kim junior, because he represents his father in the community meetings. Moreover, Chris’s mother, Mrs. Kim, is not any different from her spouse and son. She is always ready to try out new things and to join academic and life courses to learn something new. She believes that one never acquires enough knowledge and so, people should strive to be better than…

    Like Shana, Analisse also comes from a middle-class, divorced family. To the first cognitive question, “what do you like most about yourself”, Analisse responded, “my creativity”. From her answer, I could not accurately place her into any of the cognitive developmental stages or theories. However, I could comprehend what social development stage she was in. It took her a very long time to come up with something that she liked about herself and when she did answer it, she only said one attribute. For this reason, I believe that Analisse has not resolved the identity crisis found in Erikson’s Psychosocial Development, Stage 5: Identity vs. Role Confusion. She had a hard time describing what she likes about herself so is therefore still struggling with answering the question, “who am I?” According to Erikson, Analisse is right on target for her age since Stage 5 occurs between the ages of twelve and eighteen. The second cognitive question was “what do you believe other’s think about you?” to which Analisse responded, “I’m funny”. Again, it took her a while to deliver an answer to this question. Knowing Analisse for a very long time, I know that she struggles with her self-image but it was also evident in the way that she answered these two questions. Again, I could not figure out what cognitive developmental stage Analisse was in based on her response to the question. Like with Shana, I could eliminate…

    The common perception is that many people are innocent and sincere until their true colors are revealed. Connie is a young child that is fifteen years old and displays the utmost confidence in herself. However, there is always an opposing force working against her will, which is her mother. Her mother criticizes her about looking in the mirror too much and she compares her to her older sister, June. The actions of the mother dismiss the notion that family should always be behind you know matter what. Shutting down a child confidence can make them do various things, such as kindling the desire to grow up faster and achieve independence. When comparing children to others, the results can be harmful, ultimately making the child feel insignificant.…

    Connie is fifteen years old and obviously self-conscious because of the love that she never receives at home. Her whole life revolves around attention from boys since she does not feel loved at home. Her sister June appears to be the favorite in the family, as she receives all of the positive attention. Connie's mother doesn’t speak kindly to Connie or about Connie, and Connie doesn't think well of her mother either. Her father does whatever he can to please Connie but doesn’t seek for a good father-daughter relationship. They never talk about what is happening in their lives and act as if they are only acquaintances. Connie wants to appear older and wiser than she actually is and her head is always full of meaningless daydreams to help her cope. Her promiscuity leads to attraction from boys and older men where she becomes terrified and realizes that she is not as grown up as she thought. Connie comes face to face with the harshreality of being forced into adulthood at the age of fifteen because of the special attention of Arnold Friend.…

    Adolescence is defined as the transition between childhood and adulthood. Many changes happen at this stage. Adolescence involves things such as puberty, greater independence, and a time when someone begins to construct their identity. Identity means their life value and goals including a secure sense of who they are in terms of sexual, vocational, and moral ethics. In the next few paragraphs I will be discussing my Virtual Child, Maeve as she went through adolescence (ages 11- 16). I am going to delve into the different changes I saw in her and how they relate to theories proposed by Piaget, Erikson, Marcia, and Gardner. Each theory deals with development through adolescence and will help give a better understanding of this time in Maeve’s life.…

    Measuring the effectiveness of social constructivism in the classroom will take place in two different ways. When working on group projects or when engaging in class discussion, students will be expected to demonstrate the five essential elements that are unique to a cooperative learning classroom: positive interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-face interaction, and social skills (Moreno, 2010). This is very abstract and therefore, will be measured through direct evaluation because it allows the teacher to receive quality information on individual participation and give each student specific feedback. The second measurement will be a criterion-referenced assessment using either an exam or paper…

    Biopsychosocial Essay 1

    A life stage is a period of human development for which the Association of Qualitative Research (2013) states “is assumed to be linked to certain opportunities and constraints and to be significant to certain activities or choices. In addition, it is suggested that different psychological tasks have to be undertaken as the individual matures, and transitions between life stages can be times of crisis.”Likewise, Erikson (About.com Psychology) suggests a theory of development in which people have to perform different tasks and positive social interactions throughout their lifespan to maintain a healthier personality. He suggests 8 life stages (infancy, early childwood, preschool, school age, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood and maturity) of which young adulthood (19 to 40 years) is manifest by the conflict of intimacy against isolation, accompanied by significant changes in lifestyle and increase of responsibilities. By the same token (emotional and SDHEAH, (2013) infers that Identity, followed by intimacy and generativity are concerns in young adults. Therefore, Jesse Perrault (Psychosocial aspect of health care, P12) suggests that health care providers adopt a model of care that enable them to know their patients and help them to stay healthy, a model that takes lifestyle and psychosocial stresses into account in addition to biological factors because they are important determinants of heath and illness. The following paragraphs will explore the biospychosocial model of care in contrast to the biomedical model, will look at its advantages and critics, the biopsychosocial issues at young adulthood, how the biopsychosocial approach is used into in the ward where the writer was on placement, and the way the writer will exploit this approach in the future.…
