Study Notes
Emotional Development
- The years between ages 3 and 6 are crucial for children's psychosocial development. Emotional development and sense of self stem from experiences during these years.
- Emotional development follows an orderly progression, with more complex emotions evolving from simpler ones. Brain development is closely tied to emotional growth.
- Early emotional expressions include crying, smiling, and laughing. Other indicators include facial expressions, motor activity, body language, and physiological changes.
- Self-conscious and self-evaluative emotions emerge after the development of self-awareness.
Basic Emotions
- Six basic emotions are universally experienced across cultures: happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and surprise.
Self-Conscious Emotions
- Self-conscious emotions (e.g., embarrassment, empathy, envy) appear after children develop self-awareness, recognizing their unique identity.
- This self-awareness typically develops between 15 and 24 months of age.
- Self-awareness enables children to understand being the center of attention, recognize others' feelings, and experience envy.
- By age 3, children, equipped with self-awareness and societal norms, evaluate their thoughts, plans, and behavior against social expectations, leading to self-evaluative emotions (pride, guilt, shame).
Empathy, Altruism
- Altruistic behavior demonstrates helping others without expecting rewards.
- Prosocial behavior encompasses any voluntary act intended to help others.
- Parents' prosocial behavior models influence their children's prosocial behavior.
- Empathy enables imagining another's feelings in a situation. This ability emerges around the second year and grows with age.
Sympathy, Social Referencing
- Sympathy involves caring and concern for someone, often accompanied by a wish for their wellbeing.
- Empathy involves understanding and sharing another's feelings, while sympathy is more about external expression of emotion.
- Social referencing occurs when individuals seek understanding of ambiguous situations by observing others' reactions.
- It is evident by 12 months and plays a role in developing self-conscious emotions, self-awareness, and socialization.
Emotional Self-Regulation
- Emotional self-regulation in toddlers is a crucial developmental milestone. It involves managing and responding to emotions appropriately.
- Children high in effortful control can manage impulses and emotions, while those low in effortful control may struggle with frustration and anger.
- As children mature, they become more aware of their own and others' feelings, better regulating their emotions and responding to others' emotional distress.
