Study Notes
Children's Aggressive Behavior
- Children with difficult temperaments are more likely to show aggressive behavior towards peers and adults
- Parenting style plays a significant role in exacerbating or reducing aggressive behavior in children with difficult temperaments
- Insensitive, negative parent behaviors (e.g., frowning, criticizing, yelling) increase aggression in children with difficult temperaments
- Sensitive, positive discipline (e.g., being affectionate, praising, using distraction) decreases aggression in children with difficult temperaments
- Parenting style has less of an effect on aggressive behavior in children with easy temperaments
Cultural Context and Parenting
- Cultural factors, such as race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, can moderate parenting practices and outcomes
- Authoritative parenting may have different effects in different cultural contexts
- Parents' characteristics, such as child-centered vs. adult-centered concerns, emotional state, and ability to manage stress, influence parenting practices
- Depressive mothers report fewer child-oriented positive emotions and concerns than non-depressive mothers
Children's Differential Susceptibility
- Children show differential susceptibility to different rearing approaches depending on their early temperament characteristics
- Difficult, negatively reactive infants are more affected by both sensitive and insensitive parenting than infants with easy temperaments
- Children's predispositions and temperaments may cause parents' behaviors rather than vice versa
- A multidimensional approach to the question of direction of effects in children's social development is supported by evidence
The Child's Temperament and Parenting
- The quality of the caregiving relationship is influenced by both parents and infants
- Mothers' responsiveness during infancy supports the development of a secure attachment even for babies with difficult temperaments
- When mothers are not able to create a good fit, the type of insecure attachment that emerges is often influenced by the baby's temperament
Self-Regulation of Emotions and Behavior
- Mastering emotions and behavior in every circumstance is not realistic for a 2-year-old, as it's a long-term process that develops over time.
- Self-regulation involves harmonious interchange with the social environment and is a complex, painstaking process.
Lines of Research on Self-Regulation
- Self-regulation has been studied as a temperament trait (effortful control), as a capacity to delay gratification (will power), and as an executive function (inhibitory control).
- Each line of research focuses on emotional versus cognitive processes and on automatic versus intentional processes.
Importance of Emotion Regulation
- Emotion regulation is essential for controlling behaviors and achieving goals.
- The earliest developmental task of infancy is to establish physiological balance and control over fluctuating levels of arousal.
- Emotion regulation involves not only controlling behavior but also managing emotions.
Development of Self-Regulation
- Self-regulation becomes more complex as children grow, involving the management of emotional reactions and actions in various physical and social environments.
- Self-regulation is critical for success in all aspects of life, including social relationships, learning, and achievement.
Early Progress of Behavior Regulation
- Behavior regulation emerges with two cognitive and emotional advances: representational thought and emotional response to wrongdoing.
- By 9-10 months, babies show capacity for representational thought, and by 18 months, their representational thought is progressing rapidly, supporting language development.
- Language is important for self-regulation, as it helps children understand and produce language, and decipher and store parents' requests.
