  • Complete a 3-page worksheet in which you describe an issue related to sexuality from a case study, apply psychological theory, and design a research question that would help us learn more about that issue.

Introduction

As you read about Tad, Celia, and Frederick in the Sexuality Across the Lifespan Case Studies document, you may start thinking about the issues they face. Many of the major theories in psychology provide insight into the field of human sexuality and issues like these. Chapter 2 in your Understanding Human Sexuality text explains these connections. For example, learning theory can help us understand how a certain perfume or cologne can elicit sexual arousal through classical conditioning (Hyde, 2020). In this assessment, you will have a chance to practice and build your skills by digging into one of these theories and applying it to an issue in a case study.
