Study Notes
Identity Formation
- Gender identity: a child learns to label themselves as a boy or girl by 2 years old, with awareness starting as early as 9 months.
- Gender stability: a child learns that their gender remains the same throughout life, developing by age 4.
- Gender constancy: a child understands that their gender remains the same even in ambiguous situations, developing by age 4 or 5.
Sexual Identity
- Influenced by societal ideas of gender, including cultural and religious beliefs.
- Aspects include:
- Sexual attraction/orientation.
- Conformity to gender/sexual expectations.
Culture
- A social group that influences an individual's beliefs, behaviors, and ideas.
- Aspects include:
- Race (e.g., Black, White, Asian).
- Ethnicity (e.g., spirituality, nationality).
Social Competence
- Cultural learning from multiple contexts (school, home, community).
- Experience-dependent growth, influencing brain development.
Brain Development
- The brain develops from lower to top, opposite to physical development.
- The triune brain has specialized functions.
- Environmental influence affects brain structures.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- A foundation of needs must be met for optimal development.
- The pyramid structure represents the hierarchy of needs.
Maturational Theory
- Genetic preset biological timelines.
- Devised by Gesell's Developmental Schedule.
- Identifies delays in typical development.
Areas of Physical Development
- Challenges to growth and development include:
- LBW (Low Birth Weight) or other delays.
- Genetic constraints or disorders.
- Nutrition (poor nutrition or overindulgence).
- Sleep disorders.
- Child/environment interactions.
Peer/Society Relationships
- Societal norms and expectations guide relationship formation.
- Family foundation for social relationships.
- Peer status, including groups, cliques, outcasts, and adult perceptions.
Bio-Ecological Theory
- Development occurs within various systems.
- Systems have indirect and direct influences on developmental outcomes.
Social-Cultural Theory
- Development is impacted by social, historical, and cultural context.
- Intersubjective nature of learning and culturally determined thoughts influence developmental outcomes.
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) drives growth and learning.
Research Design
- Elements include:
- Research question: a measurable inquiry.
- Literature review: examining past theories and research.
- Hypothesis: a supposition or possible explanation.
- Variables: clearly defined factors related to the inquiry.
- Population: the group(s) being investigated.
