Please pick one of the following questions for your take-home writing activity.

1. In Whistling Vivaldi the author,Claude Steele, discusses stereotype threat. Have you ever underperformed because of stereotype threat? Please describe the stereotype threat and the circumstances. If you have not experienced it, please explain why not. In your discussion, try to be as specific as possible, using material from the book to support  your point of view.

2. One of the themes of Whistling Vivaldi is the idea of stereotype threat. Steele (2010, p. 5) writes: “As members of society we have a pretty good idea about a lot of things,  including the major groups and identities in society. We could all take out a piece of paper, write down the major stereotypes of those identities, and show a high degree of agreement in what we wrote.This means that whenever we’re in a situation where a  bad stereotype about one of our identities could be applied — such as being old, poor,  rich, or female — we know it…it is also a threat…And this means that it follows members  of the stereotyped group into these situations like a balloon over their heads.” Do you agree or disagree with that passage? Please usematerial from Whistling Vivaldi to support your point of view.

3. Discuss something you learned from reading Whistling Vivaldi. Be as specific as possible,using examples from the book to illustrate your points.

Mossler and Ziegler (2019) suggest numerous variables that attribute to successful aging: selection processes [Selection, optimization, and compensation theory (SOC)]; engagement with life, avoiding disease and disability, and high cognitive and physical functioning [Rowe and Kahn’s (1997) Model of Successful Aging]; psychosocial strengths (family and friends), and even specific predictors such as “a stable marriage by age 50 (positive relationships), [a] college education, using mature adaptations, not smoking or quitting at a young age, not abusing alcohol, regular exercise, and a healthy weight” (Mossler & Ziegler, 2019, section 16.2).

Before you submit your discussion, you are encouraged to review the Writing Center’s Grammarly (Links to an external site.) page, which includes a link to The Grammarly Guide (Links to an external site.), set up a Grammarly account (if you have not already done so), and use Grammarly to review a rough draft of your assignment. Then, carefully review all issues identified by Grammarly and revise your work as needed.

In your initial post, address the following:

  • Based on these numerous factors, what variables do you consider to be most important, from your own experiences (self, vicarious, or fictional) to successful aging?
  • Why? Support your assertions with known experiences and information you have learned throughout the course. Share only information that you are comfortable with.

For this Check-Up, you are acting as a counselor. You will find in your career that often you will need to provide more than medical advice: sometimes you have to provide emotional support as well. In this case, you need to counsel your patient, about what he suspects he is experiencing.

Henok is a 55-year-old male. He was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia but has lived in the American South for the last 30 years. He has had a successful life as an industrial engineer, and has made a very lucrative living. Henok got married when he was 45 years old and had twin boys when he was 47. He loves his wife and twin boys, but he is starting to feel restless and anxious and isn’t sure why. He signed up for a skydiving trip with his friends two weeks ago and loved it. Now he wants to buy a motorcycle. He has come to you because he is experiencing chest pains. His EKG is normal, and all his bloodwork is normal. Everything points to him being physically healthy.

You ask a few questions and find out the following information:

1. He hasn’t been sleeping well.

2. He thinks he is a failure.

3. He recently had his black hair bleached blonde,

4. He bought a beach house and hasn’t told his wife yet.

5. He got the phone number of a female coworker to meet for drinks, but he felt guilty and threw it in the trashcan right away.

6. He has found himself missing his late father.

Your job is to :

1. Tell Henok what you think is going on (1-2 paragraphs)

2. Tell Henok how you think he can best overcome these feelings (2-4 paragraphs)

3. Make a referral for Henok (1 paragraph)

4. Provide some encouragement for Henok (this is your conclusion)

5. How did you reach these conclusions? What research helped you arrive at   the decisions that you did?
