Assignment task:
This two-part assignment will challenge you to explore the concept of generativity, assess your level of generativity, and reflect on your classmates' levels of generativity. You will begin by determining your approximate score, which involves using an online generativity assessment or a checklist of generative characteristics, activities, and qualities. Use the Topic 6 Resource "Loyola Generativity Scale" or another generativity assessment of your choice.
Note that there is no numerical score for most assessments. However, the higher your level of generativity, the more generative you may be.
Imagine that you have been selected to present on the impact of generativity on life satisfaction at a psychology convention. Although this is not a group presentation, you will be delivering it to a small group of classmates to receive feedback. The date and format of the presentation will be determined by your professor.
Your presentation should last between 7-10 minutes and include a visual aid such as a PowerPoint or a poster. Please ensure that your presentation is engaging by including plenty of photos and pictures. You may also include questions and short videos. Be sure to integrate at least three scholarly sources to support your arguments.
Your presentation should include the following content:
Define generativity in your own words.
Do a review of the text and locate some generativity theories and theorist(s) you like the most (e.g., Erikson, Logan, McAdams). Explain why you connected with one or more of these.
Describe how culture (gender roles, religion, education, etc.) might contribute to generativity.
Identify your level of generativity (including your score) and discuss the why(s).
Discuss how your personality may or may not contribute to generative actions.
What are you currently doing that is generative, if anything? Explain.
Share your future career goals and how you think they might contribute to generativity.
Explain other actions you can take to increase/maintain generativity throughout life.
Include any other information you find relevant or that might benefit your classmates.
Please note that you are required to upload your presentation artifact to the assignment drop box.
