Risk and Resilience processes – case studies (education psychology)

write a review in which they discuss the different risk and resilience processes in Rileys life and how these may be influencing her development at that particular point in time. In constructing the case review, 

you should:

• Select specific theories to identify and discuss risk and resilience processes that may be influencing Rileys development.
• Clearly link to the case study, using brief examples from it throughout your review in order to illustrate these processes.
• Draw upon research evidence throughout your review in order to support your analysis.
• Cover both risk and resilience processes. It might help to structure your assignment so that the first half focuses on risk, and the second half focuses in resilience.
• Adopt a critical stance, discussing the extent to which your selected theories can capture and explain Rileys experiences, alternative explanations and viewpoints, and conceptual and methodological strengths and limitations in the available evidence.

You should not:

• Try to cover more than one case study. While you can and should make reference to other timepoints in Rileys life when discussing development over time, take care to keep your central focus on the specific case study you have chosen.
• Copy and paste large chunks of text from your chosen case study into your review.
• Invent new things that happen to Riley for your review. Stick to the content of your chosen case study.
• Try to include every single theory we have covered. It is better to create a focused discussion with a smaller amount of ideas than trying to include everything.
• Attempt to ‘diagnose’ Riley. However, you should of course consider the potential connections between risk and resilience processes and different outcomes in your chosen case study
