Study Notes
Module 1: Introduction to Developmental Psychology
- Developmental psychology is the scientific study of development across a lifespan, encompassing physical, cognitive, and psychosocial changes.
- Psychology, in general, is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Different schools of thought exist, with various explanations for behavior.
Developmental Psychology's History
- The scientific study of children emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
- Early literary works like Shakespeare's "seven ages of man" touched on developmental themes.
- Arnold Gesell, a student of G. Stanley Hall, performed large-scale studies suggesting biological maturation underlies developmental patterns.
- Jean Piaget theorized about cognitive development, emphasizing stages and the interaction of assimilation and accommodation.
Parts of Development
- Development involves three main domains: physical, cognitive, and psychosocial (social/emotional).
Big Questions in Development
- Development can be viewed as either continuous (gradual) or discontinuous (stages).
- Both genetics (nature) and environment (nurture) play roles in shaping development.
Life Stages
- Developmental psychology studies life stages from prenatal to old age, including infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. Also, Death and Dying are important considerations but not a separate stage.
Theories of Development
- Various theories, like Piaget's and Erikson's, explain how humans grow and change.
Biopsychosocial Model
- The biopsychosocial model posits that behavior, including health and illness, arises from the dynamic interaction of biological, psychological, and social factors.
- This model emphasizes that factors like genes, mental health, and social context interact to influence health outcomes.
- Health influences can be categorized into biological, psychological, and social influences
Biological Influences on Health
- Genetics play a role in various disorders. (e.g., 6.5% risk of schizophrenia with a first-degree relative; greater risk for identical twins).
- Environmental factors influence the expression of genetically-predisposed disorders.
Psychological Influences on Health
- Psychological factors (e.g., thinking patterns) can interact with biological predispositions and risk behaviors to influence health.
Social Influences on Health
- Socioeconomic status, culture, and life events (e.g., job loss) can affect health and illness.
Cultural Factors
- Culture influences disease prevalence and symptom expressions, sometimes affecting biology (epigenetics).
- Cultural expectations regarding health, physical characteristics, and social behaviors greatly affect a person's development.
Application of the Biopsychosocial Model
- The interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors determines health and illness.
- Health promotion should address all three factors.
- Each disorder presents a unique, varying mix of biological, psychological, and social influences.
Development Domains
Physical development, cognitive development, and psychosocial development are interconnected and impact each other.
Key Issues in Human Development
- The nature versus nurture debate, continuity vs. discontinuity, and one course of development vs. many courses are central questions.
Conceptions of Age
- Chronological, biological, psychological, and social age are different ways to describe age. Social age influences are less clear in the 21st century.
Life Stages: Detailed Descriptions
- Prenatal, infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood, early adulthood, middle adulthood, late adulthood.
Health, Wellness, Sickness, and Disease
- Health is defined by more than just the absence of illness; it includes physical, mental, and social well-being.
- Societal views of health and illness, impacting its construction and experiences by people.
Why Psychology Is Important in Nursing
- Nurses can enhance patient care by considering the psychological aspects of their patients' experiences and needs.
