Study Notes
Risk and Resilience in Development
- Risk: Defined as stressors impacting development including poverty, poor upbringing, and disrupted home situations.
- Resilience: Positive outcomes despite significant risk factors.
- Historical Background: Resilience research roots in psychopathology studies, particularly Garmezy's work in the 1940s and 1950s investigating children of parents with severe mental disorders.
- Werner and Smith Study: Followed 700 Hawaiian children for over 40 years, demonstrating resilience despite poverty and parental low education, highlighting the importance of a stable foundation.
- Risk Factors: Catastrophic events (war, disaster), family abnormalities (divorce, bereavement), economic conditions (poverty), and negative environments (ghettos).
- Protective Factors: Characteristics that reduce vulnerability and promote resilience.
- Vulnerable Factors: Individual characteristics that can hinder development in adverse conditions (e.g., sensitivity to addiction).
- Parental Bereavement: Highly traumatic, leading to potential challenges like family restructuring, but effects possibly less significant than parental separation/divorce.
- Parental Separation/Divorce: Increased risk of psychological, behavioral, social, and academic problems for children, especially in high-conflict situations; potentially impacting intergenerational relationships.
- Abuse and Maltreatment: Major risks significantly impacting children's development and resilience.
- Parental Psychological Disturbances: Mental illness (especially maternal depression), substance abuse, and other parents' problems can affect children's development. Maternal depression linked to negative interactions with children.
- Socioeconomic Risks: Child poverty increases risk of poor health, academic difficulties, and social-emotional/behavioral problems; effects worse for younger children.
- Stressful Life Events: Events like moving or daily hassles can be stressful, affecting parents and children's well-being; can lead to emotional and physical consequences in children, particularly stress impact on girls.
- Children's Social Context: Growing up in disadvantaged neighborhoods exposing children to delinquent peers and violence.
- Societal Mechanisms: Discrimination and prejudice can negatively affect development, particularly impacting ethnic minority children with low teacher expectations.
- Catastrophic Events: War, deprivation, and natural disasters have traumatic impacts. Successful adjustment possible with supportive environments.
- Measurement of Risk: Cumulative risk models assume the sum of risks surpasses the impact of any single risk; Greater exposure to risk factors weakens adjustment/recovery capacities.
- Risk Specificity: Individual characteristics of risk factors impacting specific outcomes; Quantity of risk factors over quality is a primary predictor of negative outcomes.
- Protective/Vulnerability Factors: Characteristics promoting positive adaptation to adversity; interactive relationship with risk factors.
Protective and Vulnerability Factors
- Personal Characteristics: Gender, intelligence, temperament, sociability, perceived control, self-esteem, coping style.
- Family Characteristics: Attachment, parent-child interactions, parenting style, family cohesion, routines, support, resources.
- External Support Systems: Friendships, teacher support, school resources, activities, neighborhood cohesion.
- Garmezy's Protective Factors: Child's personal characteristics, family characteristics, and external support systems influence resilience.
Theoretical Models of Risk and Resilience
- Moderator Effects: Protective factors interact with risk factors, potentially amplifying or negating their impact. Impact greater on high-risk populations.
- Main Effects: Protective factors directly influence outcomes even with no interaction with risk factors (positive on outcomes).
- Mediator Effects: Protective factors influence outcomes by modifying the pathway between risk and outcome (risk less impactful).
Developmental Outcomes: Competence and Maladjustment
- Resilience may not be limited to one domain of functioning (social, academic, etc.). Multiple aspects of competence can contribute.
Contributions of Risk and Resilience Research
- Interventions: Risk-focused, asset-focused, and process-oriented programs.
Social Problems in Schools
- Social Pressure: Comparison to high-performing peers negatively impacts self-esteem, sometimes leading to self-worth protection and motivation-based explanations. Pressure from peers varying across cultures.
- Victimization and Bullying: Bullying characterized by aggressive, repeated behavior, and power imbalance; impacting 5% of children as bullies and 10% as victims.
- Types of Bullying: Physical, verbal, social, cyberbullying, bias-motivated bullying.
- Effects of Bullying: Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, physical/psychosomatic complaints, potentially leading to suicide.
- Causes of Bullying: Social acceptance of violence, abuse of power, media portrayal, neighborhood violence, socioeconomic factors, school climate.
- Interventions Against Bullying: Quality circles, cooperative groups, social and emotional learning, assertiveness training, restorative justice, bullying reduction through policy and supervision.
- Reactive Strategies: Punishments for bullying, restorative justice, specific therapy-based techniques.
- School Refusal: Aversion to attendance, potentially stemming from phobias, separation anxiety, anxiety, depression, or acting for personal advantage.
- Types of Refusal: Separation anxiety, specific phobias, generalized anxiety, depression, acute vs. chronic refusal. Importance of understanding the function of refusal for effective interventions.
Atypical Development
- Williams Syndrome: Inborn disorder involving mental handicap, facial features, and often cardiovascular problems; caused by chromosome 7 deletion. Cognitive and language domain deficits, but strong social skills.
- Specific Language Impairment (SLI): Language development issues (production and comprehension). Different from other developmental disorders.
- Autism Spectrum: Inborn disorder characterized by communication limitations (social interaction, non-verbal), restricted interests, and repetitive behavior; cognitive abilities and language delays vary.
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattention; diagnosed by age 7, lasting into adulthood. Cause of ADHD currently under investigation; may involve inhibitory control deficits.
- Impact of Sensory Loss: Blindness and other sensory losses can lead to atypical development; visual loss influences early parent-child interaction, but other sensory interactions exist. Joint attention plays a significant part in typical development.
- Ecological Systems Model (Bronfenbrenner): Child development influenced by environmental forces.
- Layers of the Model: Microsystem (immediate env.), mesosystem (connections between microsystems), exosystem (indirect influences), macrosystem (broad societal values), chronosystem (historical changes).
