Study Notes
Human Development
- Human development is a continuous process, with similar mechanisms in children and adults
- It can also be non-continuous, with qualitatively different mechanisms
- Development can occur through one pathway or various, depending on genetic and environmental factors
- Nature and nurture both influence development, but how their relative influence varies
- Early life development affects lifetime processes
- Different individuals have varying responses to developmental stages
Birth, Infancy, and Childhood
- Human life begins at fertilization
- Fertilization combines sperm and egg nuclei to form a single nucleus with 46 chromosomes
- Germination occurs 2 weeks after fertilization, where the fertilized egg implants in the uterine wall
- Embryo stage (2-8 weeks after fertilization) involves major organ and tissue formation
- Prenatal development, up to birth, sees the development and sophistication of major organs and tissues
- Early childhood (2-6 years) brings changes in body ratio, weight loss
- Late childhood (6-11 years) is marked by logical thinking, reading abilities, and peer relationships
Cognitive Development
- Piaget's theory proposes stages of cognitive development with qualitatively different schemas for each stage
- Stages are universal and invariant, but recent research suggests variations in developmental timing
- Core knowledge perspective suggests infants are born with knowledge, allowing for accelerated understanding
- Infants possess innate knowledge of basic numbers
- Infants also comprehend others' intentions depending on context
Social Development
- Temperament and personality greatly influence a child's social interactions
- Attachment is an emotional bond that forms between a child and caregiver, influencing relationships throughout life
- A child's temperament can affect how they respond to their environment and to their parents, which affects interactions and development
- Internal operating models from early attachment affect human relations later
- Parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive) influence a child's developmental trajectory and interactions
Motivation and Emotion
- Motivation research initially relied on instinct as an explanation, Later expanded on theories like impetus, incentive, and arousal theories.
- Homeostasis, the body's internal balance, is a key goal for some motivational theories
- Emotions are complex, multi-faceted experiences including biological changes, cognitive evaluation, facial expressions, and subjectively felt sensations.
- Emotions have various functions, synchronizing actions, facilitating social interaction, and providing information about internal states.
- Regulation of emotions is crucial for well-being.
Personality
- Personality is defined by characteristics of behavior seen consistently across time and situations
- Biological factors (genetic predisposition) and environmental influences (e.g., family, culture)shape personality significantly
- Personality theories offer various explanations for personality traits, development, and structure (e.g., psychoanalytic, humanistic, trait)
- There is continual interaction between biological and environmental factors throughout development, producing diverse trajectories.
- Key factors like temperament, birth order, parenting style affect personality.
Abnormal Behavior and Mental Health
- Abnormal behavior is often characterized by maladaptive behaviors, subjective distress, deviations from societal norms, and impairments in adaptive functioning
- DSM-5 is a classification system for various mental disorders.
- Psychological disorders are influenced widely by a complex interplay of factors such as genetics, experiences, environment and cognition.
- There are various categories of mental disorders, including anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and personality disorders.
Stress and Health
- Stress is a complex experience encompassing physiological, behavioral, and emotional responses.
- Various theoretical models and research approaches exist to understand the concept of stress (physiological responses, cognitive appraisals, coping mechanisms).
- Personalities, and social support systems affect how individuals cope with stress.
- Chronic stress is often linked to chronic health problems and disease.
- Stress and health are closely related by various mechanisms.
Theories of Psychotherapy
