Case Study of Jane Analyzing the Applicability of Piaget 's theory of social , cognitive and moral development

I conducted this study on a female friend who I have given the name Jane for confidentiality and privacy purposes . The resource persons who gave me the information have also been given other names for the same purpose . The aim of the case study was to use the Piaget theory of development to explain the development of Jane , socially , morally and

mentally . I also wanted to know if there could be a link between this theory and Jane 's character as an adult . I also sought to find out if there are stages in the course of her development that did not fit in with Piaget 's theories

She could only be happy when her mother was . Her reports from early stages in schooling show excellent performance . This is is as far back as kindergarten . Her teachers always had glowing comments about her during performance evaluations . She was top of her elementary school class until she completed

Her adolescent ages between 11 and 17 were very not really challenging as the norm with almost every teenager . She did not have an experience with boys ' as is the case with teenage girls . Her mother says that apart from one day when she sneaked to Heidi 's house for a sleep over she has not had any serious case of indiscipline from her . She believes this is because of the strong attachment that is there between Heidi and her . This attachment has created trust and confidence and as a result Jane has not been a deviant child . Also , since she is the only parent available for Jane , she has...
