Development of Social Cognition
-concrete to abstract
-organized better with age
-cause of behavior goes from simple explanations to complex interacting relationships
-metacognitive understanding
I-Self
sense of self as the knower/actor - includes self-awareness, self-continuity, self-coherence, and self-agency (understanding that I control myself)
me-self
sense of self as an object of knowledge, material and psychological and personality trait evaluation - how others might see and describe you
self-awareness
begins in the early months, understand body as separate, realize their actions cause predictable reactions from people, objects
categorical self
18-30 months, can classify selves on a number of dimensions (age, sex, good/bad)
theory of mind
young preschoolers awareness of self's private thoughts and imaginings
self concept development
set of attributes, abilities, attitudes, and values that an individual believes defines who he/she is - mention observable things, understand psychological characteristics

middle childhood - organized observations, competencies, positives/negatives, personality traits, social comparisons

adolescence - see opposing traits, try to be what people want, what is the real me? Emphasis on social virtues, personal and moral values
self concept development
set of attributes, abilities, attitudes, and values that an individual believes defines who he/she is - mention observable things, understand psychological characteristics

middle childhood - organized observations, competencies, positives/negatives, personality traits, social comparisons

adolescence - see opposing traits, try to be what people want, what is the real me? Emphasis on social virtues, personal and moral values
self-esteem judgements
we make about our own worth, feelings associated with these judgements
attributions
common every day explanations for causes of behavior, "Why did I do that?"
Mastery oriented attribution vs. learned helplessness mastery oriented attribution
success is due to ability and hard work - incremental view of ability -

learned helplessness, attribute failures to ability, successes to external factors (luck, ease of task)

entity view of ability - fixed, not changeable
identity achievement
clearly committed, psychological well being (healthy)
moratorium
exploring identity - people, clothes, places - active process (healthy)
identity foreclosure
committed to goals without exploring alternatives, ready made identity - die hard, rigid, not necessarily self-defined.
identity diffusion
lack of clear direction, exploration is too threatening and overwhelming - don't know what they stand for, vulnerable to cults
internalization
adopting societal standards for what it right as your own
induction
type of discipline which child is encouraged to notice other's feelings, effects of misbehavior pointed out - tells how to behave, applied in future, encourages empathy and sympathetic concern, encourages kids to judge appropriateness - begin to understand logic
Social Learning Theory of Moral Development
Kids learn through modeling

effective models - warmth and responsiveness, competence and power, consistency between assertions and behaviors
construction
process of actively attending to and interrelating multiple perspectives on a situation in which social conflicts arise, thereby developing new moral understandings
Piaget's theory - Heteronomous vs. autonomous
heronomous morality (5-10 years) rules are handed down by authority, they are permanent, unchangeable, and call for strict obedience

autonomous morality - people's perspectives can differ and intentions, not concrete consequences, should serve as basis for judging behaviors
Kohlberg's Stages
preconventional - morality externally controlled, fear of authority, avoidance in punishment - later what is right comes from self-interest

conventional - social rules are important for maintaing positive human relations and societal order - being seen as good by others and being fair are important

postconventional - morality is defined in terms of abstract principles, values that apply to situations, societies - laws are flexible, meant to further human purposes - what is right defined by ethical principles - what is valued for all humanity, respect for worth and dignity for each person

Influences on gender roles and stereotypes
biology, expectations of adults, treatment by parents and teachers, peers, siblings, observational learning
