Moral identity has been used as a useful construct in social , developmental, and organizational psychology for clearing up many aspects of moral functioning (Aquino, Freeman, Reed, Lim, &Felps, 2009; Aquino, Reed, Stewart, & Shapiro, 2005; Detert, Trevino, & Sweitzer, 2008; Hardy, Bhattacharjee, Reed, & Aquino, 2010; Lapsley&Lasky, 2001; Reynolds &Ceranic, 2007; Skarlicki, Van Jaarsveld, & Walker, 2008; Weaver, 2006). Several writers (Aquino & Freeman, 2009; Aquino & Reed, 2002; Lapsley&Lasky, 2001) have argued that moral identity is a reliable cause of moral behavior. Moral identity is one of various possible identities that a person can use as a basis for self-definition (Aquino & Reed, 2002). There is large evidence that particularly plays a key role in moral functioning in the way that manipulating how people respond and interpret to situations like moral judgment and choice (Shao et al., …show more content…

These properties are embodied in two dimensions of moral identity that Aquino and Reed (2002) refer to as internalization and symbolization. Internalization is the degree to which moral principles are central to one’s self-concept, and concerns the private or personal aspect of the self. Symbolization reflects the extent to which moral principles are expressed outwardly to others, and concerns the public or social aspect of the moral self (Aquino & Reed,

Women in many cases are shown to be purely extensions of a man, in such the case of Elizabeth Abbot, whose purpose at the hotel was merely because her husband was there. Men, on the other hand, were portrayed as more capable then women for most jobs that promote masculinity, where the women had jobs such as working in a nursing home or being a stay at home mother.

To note, my objective for this practicum is to investigate the psychological well-being among the elderly. I learned that psychological well-being among the elderly has a strong subjective component (Simone & Haas,2013).   This subjective well-being is comprised of positive and negative affect and cognitive evaluations of life satisfaction. It was my observation, and which literature supports, that residents who were well-adjusted and psychologically healthy functioned better than those that were not. I believe that this may be explained by study findings that psychological well-being is a primary indicator of optimal functioning (Simone & Haas,2013).

The story of Erin Brockovich is indeed one concerning levels of ethical dilemmas. What Erin Brockovich went through in the entire sphere of her job at the law firm with Ed Masry and her case concerning actions of PG&E, depicts quantum of all of the five ethical principles in one jock combined. However, what is of grave appreciation and instrumental value that how she and the people around her, knowingly or unknowingly, portrayed vivid views on personal ethics and contradictions towards internal believes and motives with such brilliance and articulate. Business Ethics itself focuses on two things and two things only, which are everyone has the right to pursue their dream and no one has the right to obstruct anyone else’s progression towards

Theories of late adulthood development are quite diverse in later adulthood than at any other age. They include self-theory, identity theory and stratification theory. The self-theory tries to explain the core self and search to maintain one’s integrity and identity. The older adults tend to integrate and incorporate their various experiences with their vision and mission for their respective community (Berger, 2008). Also, the older people tend to feel that their attitude, personalities and beliefs have remained in a stable state over their lives even as they acknowledge that physical changes have taken place in their bodies.

Generativity versus stagnation is the seventh stage of Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development. This stage takes place during middle adulthood between the ages of approximately 40 and 65. During this time, adults strive to create or nurture things that will outlast them; often by parenting children or contributing to positive changes that benefit other people. Contributing to society and doing things to benefit future generations are important needs at the generativity versus stagnation stage of development.

Psychologists are debating and trying to figure out whether the social identity theory, a theory developed by Tajfel Turner (1979) for the examination of intergroup relations, is a robust way of explaining behaviour. There has been many research studies in the past that proves that it is a robust way of explaining behaviour. Social identity theory explains human behaviours such as in-group favouritism, and ethnocentrism. Ethnocentrism is the act of believing that one’s social group is centrally important, and that all other groups are below them on the social pyramid. In this case, one will judge other groups on their ethnic group, language, religion and behaviour.

The life expectancy in the United States has slowly increased over the years therefore allowed many to further analyze the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development during late adulthood.

Introduction The concept of identity has been a notion of significant interest not just to sociologists and psychologists, but also to individuals found in a social context of perpetually trying to define themselves. Often times, identities are given to individuals based on their social status within a certain community, after the assessment of predominant characteristics that said individual has. However, within the context of an ethnicity, the concept identity is most probably applied to all members of the ethnical group, and not just one individual. When there is one identity designated for the entire group, often times the factor of “individuality” loses its significance, especially when referring to the relationship between the ethnic

Although researchers do not agree on whether personal values transcend specific situations or not (Paciello et al., 2013a; Simpson & Willer, 2008; Darley & Batson, 1973), most researchers, however, agree that personal values are motive determinants of behavior (Paciello et al., 2013b; Paciello et al., 2013a). Personal values are acquired through individual development and provide a framework of general criteria used to evaluate a specific situation and act accordingly (Boer & Fischer, 2013; Paciello et al., 2013a). This evaluation is driven by our desire to behave consistently with our personal values (Bandura Barbaranelli, Caprara & Pastorelli, 1996). Consequently, this desire for consistency underlies the link between personal values and moral agency (Bandura et al., 1996; Hardy et al. 2015 ). Not all personal values, however, drive us to act prosocially.

Ageing is multidimensional change involving the physical, social as well as psychological aspects for an individual. Old age is generally an irreversible process, chronological, and a universal phenomenon and a challenge to everyone, who reaches it irrespective of sex, economic background, social background, race, ethnicity, profession, occupation, religion, skill or learning. Age can be also described as a progressive decline of the physical and mental function resulting in a simultaneous decline in both the capacity of body to maintain physiological balance as well as adaptability of the individuals to various stresses there by consequently increasing the chances of illness and mortality ( Marpady &et al, 2012) Neetu (2013) put aging by citing Becker (1959) as a complex process which includes anatomical, physiological, psychological and even social and economic changes. Randhawa (1987) stated aging by citing Becker (1959) in that ageing consists of two simultaneous components anabolic building up and catabolic breaking down. In the middle years there is an essential balance between expansion and decay, while growth predominates in youth; degenerative changes which start occurring very clearly in life pre-dominate in the late life span.
