Study Notes

Physical Development

Puberty is a period of life generally between ages 10 and 15, when reproductive organs mature.
Rapid physical changes occur during adolescence, including maturation of the reproductive system and development of varying sex characteristics.
Primary sex characteristics are present at birth. In females, it's the vagina, uterus, and ovaries; in males, the penis, testes, scrotum, and prostate gland.
Secondary sex characteristics develop during puberty. In females, these include breast enlargement, widening hips, and pubic hair growth; in males, testicular growth, increased facial/body hair, and deepening voice.
Reproductive structures in early development are alike for both sexes, existing in an indifferent stage.
Sex organs develop according to the presence of testosterone.
Female embryos develop ovaries, leading to the formation of female reproductive structures since testosterone isn't produced.

Puberty and Menopause

Reproductive capacity continues until old age in males.
Menopause is the time when menstrual cycles end. Diagnosed after 12 months without a period.
Hormones (e.g., testosterone, estrogen, progesterone) are natural substances produced in the body.

Understanding Chemistry of Love, Lust, and Attachment in Human Sexual Behavior

Human sexual behavior includes solitary, interpersonal, and group activities that induce arousal.
Two factors that determine human sexual behavior are inherited response patterns (evolved for reproduction) and societal influences.
Different types of human sexual behavior exist, classified by gender and number of participants; solitary, heterosexual, and homosexual behavior are common examples.

The Human Sexual Response Cycle

The sexual-response cycle describes bodily changes during sexual arousal for men and women.
Stages include: arousal, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.
In males, arousal is marked by penile tumescence and ejaculation; in females, vaginal lubrication and breast tumescence occur.

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

Gender identity is a person's internal sense of being male, female, both, or neither.
Sexual orientation is who a person is attracted to (romantic and/or emotional) sexually.
Common orientations include heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual.
Transsexual: people who seek or have undergone physical transition from male to female or vice versa.

Diseases Associated with the Reproductive System

Infections (e.g., those caused by Escherichia coli, sexually transmitted microorganisms, and yeast) are common reproductive problems.
Vaginal infections are prevalent in young and elderly women, and those with low immunity.
Male reproductive system conditions include prostatitis, urethritis, epididymitis and various types of cancers.
Female reproductive system conditions include breast cancer, cervical cancer, and various types of tumors.

Methods of Contraception

Natural methods (e.g., abstinence, calendar method, basal body temperature, cervical mucus) are those not involving chemicals or foreign objects.
Artificial methods (e.g., condoms, oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, and various hormonal injections) involve chemicals and other objects in the method.
Surgical methods alter the reproductive system structure permanently or temporarily to prevent pregnancy.

The Role of Consumer Culture on the Sense of Self and Identity

Consumer identity is a pattern of consumption.
Consumption has shifted from solely functional reasons to incorporating symbolic representations of identity and self-expression.
People act differently online and offline, thus creating a digital self that differs from their real identity.
"Partial identities" or "personas" are individual sub-identities created and projected in various circumstances.

Selective Self-Presentation and Impression Management

Self-presentation is the process of controlling how one is perceived by others. Individuals carefully manage the information they share to project a positive image.
Online interactions often lead to a different self-perception and self-disclosure.

The Material/Economic Self

Possessions are linked to personal identity.
Possessions are symbols of status and success and can reflect hard work/success.

The Spiritual Self

Spirituality relates to feelings and beliefs about life's meaning and purpose.
The spiritual self is associated with the search for deeper meaning and connection to something larger than oneself.
Spirituality is an aspect of identity, beliefs, rituals, and practices that address questions of life's meaning, purpose, nature.
Religion is belief and worship of a superhuman power; a system of faith and worship. Different religions have various beliefs, rituals, and practices.

Goal Setting

Goals are ideas/objects sought.
Goal attributes include: -Content (object sought) -Intensity (scope, complexity)
Goal-setting can improve performance by influencing direction of effort, effort level, and persistence.
Effective goal-setting involves feedback and knowledge of past performance.

Two Aspects of Metacognition

Self-appraisal reflects one's knowledge and capabilities.
Self-management is the ability to use capabilities effectively in planning and adapting to learning tasks.
Metacognitive knowledge refers to one's awareness and understanding of what they know.
Metacognition includes "knowing about knowing" and how to improve learning methods and processes.
Metacognition regulation is about adjusting thinking to ensure effective learning.

Dweck's Fixed and Growth Mindset Theory

Dweck's theory distinguishes two mindsets. -Fixed mindset: success depends on innate ability. -Growth mindset: success stems from effort and learning.
The mindset concept describes different attitudes towards challenges and setbacks.
