Study Notes
### Emotional Development
-
Emotional regulation develops with age, becoming more internally managed and sophisticated.
-
Early regulation focuses on external interventions: soothing, pacifying, adjusting the environment, coaching on expectations and strategies.
-
Opportunities to learn about emotions come from conversations with adults who elaborate, interpret, and clarify emotional talk and reactions.
-
Parents socialize emotional knowledge by conveying expectations about appropriate emotional behavior, causes, and consequences.
-
Cultural context impacts emotional norms and expectations.
-
Fivush's research showed parental discussions about emotions differ based on a child's gender:
- Discussions with daughters tend to focus on sadness, social-relational causes, and resolving negative emotions with reassurance.
- Discussions with sons tend to focus on anger, autonomous causes, and less frequent discussion of negative emotions.
Cultural Influences on Emotion
-
Cultural beliefs impact the understanding of antecedent causes of emotions and appropriate responses.
-
Parental conversations about past events reflect cultural differences.
- American mothers with 3-year-olds discussed the child's thoughts and feelings twice as often as Korean mothers.
-
Cultures influence which emotions (shame or anger) are considered appropriate to reveal.
### Social Context and Emotion
-
Emotions are not simply internal but influenced by social contexts.
-
Close relationships, especially parent-child relationships, provide emotional context in early years.
-
Positive and sensitive parent-child relationships promote expectations of support and sensitivity.
### Still Face Experiment
-
The Still Face Experiment demonstrates the impact of social interactions on emotional development.
-
Infants of depressed mothers exhibit a different response to the still face, disengaging from unresponsive interactions, suggesting a learned avoidance behavior.
