Study Notes
Adolescence and Social Constructs
- Concept of adolescence varies across cultures; recent in industrial societies but virtually non-existent in Chippewa Indians.
- Division of life span into specific periods, such as adolescence, is a social construct influenced by cultural context.
- Urban environments with high unemployment diminish the likelihood of effective social support.
Cultural Influences on Development
- Culture encompasses customs, traditions, laws, beliefs, values, language, and material artifacts influencing human behavior and attitudes.
- Individualistic cultures prioritize personal goals, promoting distinct self-identity; collectivist cultures focus on community and group goals.
Ethnic Groups and Development
- Ethnic groups are characterized by shared personality traits and cultural elements.
- Development involves navigating psychosocial themes that create crises needing resolution over life stages, ultimately fostering virtues.
Learning Theories
- B.F. Skinner emphasized operant conditioning, where behaviors are learned based on their consequences, reinforcing positive responses and discouraging negative ones.
- Reinforcement strengthens behavior likelihood; punishment decreases it.
Bandura's Social Learning Theory
- Albert Bandura's theory focuses on observational learning and modeling, where individuals acquire behaviors through observing others.
- Reciprocal determinism highlights bidirectional interactions between individuals and their environments, affecting learning processes.
Systems Involved in Development
- Chronosystem refers to time dimensions in development, including life events such as divorce or economic changes influencing individuals.
- Development viewed through qualitative research offers insights but lacks generalizability, highlighting the importance of individual experiences.
Evolutionary Perspectives
- E.O. Wilson's theory links evolutionary biology to behavior, examining the adaptive significance of actions through a multidisciplinary lens.
Genetic and Developmental Factors
- 46,XY indicates male typicality while 46,XX reflects female characteristics; ambiguous genitalia can arise from genetic variations.
- Wnt-4 is a signaling molecule essential for female reproductive system development and the formation of Müllerian ducts.
Hereditary Concepts
- Polygenic inheritance involves multiple genes contributing to a trait's expression, influencing complex characteristics.
- Sex-linked inheritance pertains to traits transmitted through the X chromosome, with implications differing for male and female offspring.
