Critically engage with a reading/research article. In this video you will
(1) Propose a reflective question for the class to answer regarding
Silverberg’s article and
(2) Respond to the kickoff question. Reflective questions must reference a specific reading/article(s) and research finding(s) associated with the reading(s) for this module.
Kickoff question: Shehan and colleagues’ article explored HIV disclosure in mother-son relationships. Think
about the material we covered on stigma, disclosure in close relationships, and potential health outcomes.
What other important topics (with biopsychosocial health implications) do you think we have trouble disclosing to our parents and how could disclosing/not disclosing impact our health in positive or negative ways? Feel free to consider this across the lifespan. Which issues are easier/harder to discuss in adolescence, emerging adulthood, young adulthood, and middle adulthood. Why is this the case?
