Piaget's stage theory ends when children enter puberty, with his formal operational stage. Perry studied how college students progress beyond formal operational stage: first how they move from a dualistic (right versus wrong) view of the universe to a more relativistic view, and second, how they develop commitments within this relativistic world. We have not discussed Perry in class. I am interested in knowing whether you agree or disagree with his perspective on human cognitive development. In other words where do you position yourself stage wise.

MH is a 37 year old woman who is 5’3” and 210 pounds, giving her a BMI of 37. She has been overweight since childhood, however she began binge eating about 10 years ago after a failed relationship. She binges at least twice a week by cooking dinner for three, eating all of the food and then having two servings of ice cream and cookies, all in about 30 minutes. She has never used laxatives or purging after her binges. She has tried dieting in the past but now says she has given up. She has no history of substance abuse and is in good health. MH is divorced and has a 15-year-old son, who is normal weight. When he was younger, she confined her binges to the weekends; now that he is off with friends more, her binging has increased. Her divorce was initiated by her husband, partially because of her weight issues. She is a radio announcer and came in for treatment after applying for a job at a cable TV station and realizing that her appearance is what prevented her from being considered. What is the best diagnosis for MH? (Give the reasons for your choice.) What treatment would you recommend?

Josefina, a Hispanic fourth grader, does well on homework
assignments. But when her teacher announces, "It's time for a REAL
test to see how well you know what you've learned," Josefina
usually gets grades that are significantly lower. Please use the
concept of stereotype threat to explain this inconsistency between
Josefina's mastery of her work on regular days compared with her
mastery of the same material on test days. Please include an
additional example of stereotype threat that comes from your own
life or imagination, and how it might impact someone's performance
negatively or positively.
