1) Fraser is a 16-year-old male who is developmentally "normal." Describe and discuss his behavior, and give examples of his development in terms of the following: Erikson’s psychosocial development
Piaget’s cognitive development
Kohlberg’s moral development
2) Then, describe how having authoritarian parents may impact Fraser’s behavioral development.

1)In terms of Erikson’s psychosocial development, Fraser's psychosocial development has been developing in ways that are considered average and standard. As a result of this, Fraser deals with the "struggles" that occur with each stage in a way that leads to a healthy resolution, and that gives Fraser a more positive personality. An example of this would the current stage he is or should be met with relatively soon in life, that being the "Identity versus role confusion" stage. Fraser's normal psychosocial development would lead to him coming to a healthy resolution that should lead to a comfortable and stable sense of self.

In terms of Piaget’s cognitive development, Fraser's cognitive development has developed through "normal" means, by which his cognitive functions are neither impaired nor heightened. Because of this, Fraser is able to think in ways that are flexible, logical, and organized. An example of this would be where Fraser is met with a difficult situation by which he needs to figure out the best possible solution to the said problem. Fraser comes up with numerous possible solutions to the problem and the solutions he has come up with are logical. If the solutions he has come up with don't necessarily work, he can try to be flexible with the solutions he thought of in a way that is more likely to solve the issue. And finally, Fraser organizes his solutions he's come up with and rules out any that do not work and then reorganizes those solutions in a way where only the one's that are more likely to work, are grouped together and are then tested.

In terms of Kohlberg’s moral development, Fraser's moral development occurred through what is considered to be normal circumstances, by which Fraser's morality is seen as logical and contains consistent values and beliefs. Due to Fraser's moral development being considered normal, he is considered as a moral individual who rationally evaluates the situation and acts in certain situations that are of moral issue or importance. An example being where if he sees an individual who is in dire need of assistance, he rationally observes and evaluates the situation at hand, then makes a moral action or decision that is consistent with his values.

2) Authoritarian parents would have impacted Fraser's behavioral development because of how strict and controlling this parenting style is. It would have developed Fraser to become more obedient to authority figures and to not question the rules or limits given to him. It would also have impacted him to become more disciplined and more in control of his behaviors and actions.
