In a two-page journal assignment, complete the following tasks. Examine what you learned about gender differences and health in Chapter 11 Chapter 11 examines the impact of relationships on health (Helgeson, 2020). Discuss how these differences may impact your own life or lives of others around you. Suggest any changes you have made or could make to mitigate risk factors. Journal writing in an academic setting is an exercise in critical thinking and a method for creating meaning from a seemingly abstract concept.
All journal writing should include two things: a description and a reflection. The description should be objective: facts and detailed observations. The reflection: should focus on the experience with personal feelings and opinions followed by an analysis of those feelings using concepts learned in the course. By careful analysis of the description through the filter of the course materials, you should describe practical and personal evidence to support or challenge what might be an abstract idea in your profession or another area of life. Be sure to include terminology from Chapter 11 and any other chapter or academic source you feel is necessary to communicate what you have learned. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including a title page, an abstract and in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.
