Study Notes
- Ecology: the science that studies the interactions between organisms and their environment.
- Human ecology: the biological, psychological, social, and cultural context of humans.
- Development is included in human ecology.
- Adaptation: behavior modification that improves survival in a specific environment.
- Demographics: statistical characteristics of human populations, including age, income, and race.
- Economics: the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.
- Socialization: acquiring knowledge, skills, and traits necessary to function in groups and society.
Reciprocal Dynamic Process
- Genetics: an individuals heredity
- Temperament: sensitivity and responsiveness to experiences.
- Maturation: developmental changes related to biological processes.
- Agents: influencers.
- Genotype: the complete set of hereditary instructions coded in genes at conception.
- Goodness of fit: when a child's temperament aligns with parental expectations, socialization proceeds smoothly.
- Intentional socialization: socialization done on purpose.
- Adults intentionally instill values in children through explicit communication.
- Reinforcement through approval for compliance.
- Negative consequences for non-compliance.
- Unintentional socialization: the process of knowledge imparted without deliberate intent to impact knowledge on values.
- Unintentional socialization results from human interaction.
- Unintentional socialization results from observation of interaction.
- Developmentally appropriate curriculum: based on understanding normal growth patterns and individual differences.
- Theory: an organized set of statements explaining observations, integrating facts, and predicting outcomes.
- Bioecological: refers to organisms shaping their environments over time.
- Microsystem: (micro = small): activities and relationships with significant others in a small setting, such as family, school, peer group, or community.
- Family: provides nurturance, affection, and opportunities, and acts as the primary socializer.
- School: setting where children learn about society and develop skills through role modeling and motivation.
- Mesosystem: (meso = intermediate): linkages and interrelationships between two or more microsystems, with impact depending on the quantity and quality of interrelationships.
- Exosystem: (exo = outside): settings where children are not active participants but are still affected in one of their microsystems.
- Macrosystem: (macro = large): a society and subculture's belief system, lifestyles, social interaction patterns, with reference to life changes.
- Society: community, nation, or broad grouping of people with commonalities.
- Ethnicity: membership in a group identifying by national origin, culture, race, or religion.
- Culture: acquired or learned behaviors including knowledge, beliefs, art, morals, law, customs, and traditions.
- Low-context macro systems (individualistic-oriented): based on rationality, practicality, competence, individuality, and progress, values "change".
- High-context macro systems (collectivistic-oriented): based on intuitiveness, emotionality, cooperation, group identity, and tradition, values "stability".
- Chronosystem: involves temporal changes in ecological systems or within individuals, creating new conditions after development.
- Significant societal events can impact children.
Indicators of Child Well-Being
- Family and environment
- Economic circumstances
- Health care
- Physical environment and safety
- Behavior
- Education
- Health
Ecological System
- The four ecological systems involved in socialization are:
- microsystem (immediate, small setting)
- mesosystem (intermediate interrelationships between microsystems)
- exosystem (outside settings affecting microsystems)
- macrosystem (larger society and its ideology).
