Study Notes
Uninvolved Parents
- Uninvolved parenting characterized by emotional detachment and minimal interest in children's lives.
- Parenting seen as merely providing basic needs (food, shelter, clothing).
- Children from uninvolved homes may feel unloved and emotionally disconnected, leading to impeded physical and cognitive development.
- Neglect may manifest in dismissive attitudes towards children’s environment (e.g., indifference towards messy rooms).
Temperament
- Refers to a child's basic, innate disposition appearing early in life.
- Temperaments can be easygoing, irritable, or quiet and may shape parenting styles.
- Child-rearing influenced by parents' philosophies, practices, and both parents’ and children’s personalities.
Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development
- Describes the social and emotional development of individuals and their interactions as members of society.
- Consists of 8 stages; each requires resolution of a crisis to gain resources for subsequent stages.
First 4 Stages of Erikson’s Theory (Childhood)
- Trust vs. Mistrust Stage (Birth - 1.5 years): Trust develops when needs are consistently met; inconsistency leads to mistrust.
- Autonomy vs. Shame & Doubt Stage (1.5 - 3 years): Encouragement fosters independence; harsh restriction leads to shame and doubt.
- Initiative vs. Guilt Stage (3 - 6 years): Children desire independence, but guilt arises from unintended negative consequences.
- Industry vs. Inferiority Stage (6 - 12 years): Development of social skills; struggles can result in feelings of inadequacy.
Cognitive Development
- Understanding of the world evolves with age and experience.
- Jean Piaget proposed four stages of cognitive development that children pass through in a set sequence based on maturation and experiences.
Piaget’s Stages
- Sensorimotor Stage (Birth - 2 years): Understanding based on sensory exploration; lacks object permanence until around 9 months.
- Preoperational Stage (2 - 7 years): Development of language and use of symbols; egocentric thinking dominates.
Nature vs. Nurture
- Distinction between environmental influences (parents, schooling) and hereditary influences (genetic makeup) in shaping behavior.
- Interactionist perspective emphasizes that both genetic and environmental factors work together to shape development.
- Genetic factors set potential behaviors, while environmental factors can facilitate the realization of that potential.
Determining Influence of Genes and Environment
- Research using lab animals allows control of genetic factors while varied environments test environmental influence.
- Identical twins can show differences in development attributed to environmental variations.
Developmental Research Techniques
- Cross-Sectional Research: Compares behaviors among different age groups at a single point in time.
