Adult Attachment (using AAI [Main et al])
|
1. Secure-Attachment: Value attachment; integrate both (+) and (-) experiences in childhood
2. Dismissing: devalue attachment; defensive re: childhood; idealize parents but can't give concrete examples of (+) experiences; 3/4 children are avoidant 3. Preoccupied: confused re: attach. memories; childhood = disappointment; enmenshed with Fam of Origin and angry re: problems; children = ambivalent 4. Unresolved: severe trauma or early loss; dissociate; neg and resentful of children; children = disorganized |
|
Ainsworth's Patterns of Attachment
|
1. Secure: explore alone & w/mom; friendly w/stranger but prefer mom; distress when mom leaves and seeks contact when returns; mom = sensivitive and responsive
2. Anxious/Avoidant (doesn't care) - doesn't explore; no distress when mom leaves and avoids her when she returns; mom = impatient & unresponsive OR overly responsive involved & stimulating 3. Anxious/Resistant (cares too much) - anxious w/mom; distressed when leaves and ambivalent when returns; very wary w/strangers w/ & w/o mom; mom = inconsistent, st indifferent, st enthusiastic 4. Disorganized/Disoriented: alt. b/w avoidant/resistant and proximity seeking; "dazed, confused, and apprehensive"; mom = abusive |
|

(2) Despair (cry, inactive, w/drawal) (3) Detachment (apathy - may even continue when mom returns |
|
General Development of Peer Relationships
|
6 mos - smile, gesture, vocalize
14 mos - play & fight re: toys; display affection preschool - prefer peers based on similarities elementary - more time with peers than adults; grps = same gender; friends = shared activities and reciprocity adolescence - mix gender, friends = mutual intimacy, self-disclosure, and similarites w/re: to interests, attitudes and values |

|
What is a major criticism of Kohlberg's theory of moral development (Gilligan, 1982)?
|
- "Male Bias" b/c based on justice and fairness (Gilligan proposes women emphasize interpersonal connectedness & care)
**Weak research since no consistent difference shown between men & women re: justice vs care AND it's shown women and men progress through the same stages of moral dev't. |
|
What are the 3 key assumptions underlying Kohlberg's theory of moral development?
|
(1) Children pass thru stages in INVARIANT SEQUENCE though most ppl don't reach stages 5 & 6
(2) Moral development = outgrowth of cognitive development, though not exclusively b/c other factors contribute (3) each stage represents an organized whole so that ppl display moral patterns across various situations |
|
Kohlberg's Six Stages of Moral Development
|
Preconventional (consequences):
Stage 1: Punishment & obedience orientation Stage 2: instrumental hedonistic orientation Conventional (rules): Stage 3: "good boy-good girl" orientation Stage 4: authority and social order maintaining orientation Post-Conventional (self-chosen principles): Stage 5: Social contract and individual rights orientation Stage 6: universal ethics principle orientation FYI: - no 1:1 correlation with age, but shift from precon to convent hits around 10-13 y/o; if person reachest post-conv that hits around mid-adolescence - relates to moral REASONING more than conduct |
|
Piaget's Theory of Moral Development (Heteronomous vs Autonomous)
|
Heteronomous - "morality of constraint"; 4-7 y/o; rules = absolute; morality based on consequence; inflexible --> preoperation; egocentric and parental authority
Autonomous - "morality of reciprocity"; 7-8 y/o; rules=alterable and based on agreement; moraility based on intentions; flexibility --> decreased egocentricity, social interactions with peers, and increased adult vigilance and constraint Heads up: DECEPTION --> 6 y/o thinks lies are things they're not supposed to say; 6-10 /o things lies are untrue statments; 11 y/o think lies are intentionl untruths. There are mixed reviews about when lying starts - Piaget says 7; others say 3-4 |
|
What influences conformity and when is it most prevalent
|
- Depends on age, nature of behavior in question, and individual characteristics of the teen
- more conformity when less competent view of self and low self-worth - 12-14 y/o are the most conforming - teens are influenced by anti- and prosocial behaviors - Peer pressure relates to attitudes and behaviors related to peer group Parental pressure relates to life decisions and values (good trade off) |
|
Peer Rejection vs. Peer Neglect
|
Rejection - more psychological and behavioral problems; aggressive, feel lonely, problems usually cont into adulthood; more stable over settings
Neglect - social isolation; more likely to improve peer status; less likely to cont into adulthood |
|
The most important contributes to popularity is:
A) Attractiveness B) Physical Size C) Maturity D) Social behavior |
(D) Social behavior
** Popular children are skillsed at inititating and maintaining (+) relat w/peers. They are outgoing, supportive, communicative, coop, and nonpunitive FYI: popular kids tend to be more intelligent and academically successful and rejected kids tend to be aggressive disruptive, etc |
|
Gender Differences in Peer Relations
|
Girls: "enabling style," express agreement, provide support, make suggestions, intimate and emotional aspects are important; "you have every right to be mad, tell me more about it."
Boys: "restrictive style," bragging, contradicing, interrupting, sharing activities and interests are important; "you won because I wasn't looking - REMATCH!" |

Bowlby's Ethological Theory
|
- Infant and mom biologically programmed for attach't
- Infant attach't related bxs elicit moms attach't related bxs (i.e. cooing brings about mom's change in tone of voice) - Infants develop "internal working models" in 1st yr of life - Infants don't exhibit clear signs of attach't 'til 6-7 mos |
|

|
Brain Development in a nutshell
|
- Cortex least developed, but growth cont's until early adolescence
- most neurons are present @ birth - growth mostly involves GROWTH OF NEW DENDRITES and MYELINIZATION, which are believe to be responsible for babies early rapid acquisition of skills - mylenization mostly complete by end of 2nd yr - by 1 yr old brain is 60% of adult weight |
|
Process of mylenization in babies
|
(1) Neurons in primary motor cortex are mylenated in 1st month and lead to voluntary mov't
(2) Neurons in primary sensory area are mylenated which leads to initial processing of sensory info |
|

|
|
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
|
-Disorder due to presence of 2 recessive genes where person lacks enzyme needed to digest amino acid phenylalanine.
When phenylalanine is not digested --> toxic --> retardation If adhere to low phenylaline diet for 1st 6-9 yrs of life can prevent retardation due to PKU |
|
Sex-linked characteristics
|
Recessive characteristics that are carried only X or, less commonly, Y chromosome.
FYI: Men have greater chance of inheriting b/c if X carries characteristic, it won't be cx'd out by dominant X (like it would in a woman) |
|
_______ of _________ chromosome pairs are homologous and known as autosomes
|
22 of 23
FYI: The 23rd pair are the sex choromosomes (X & Y) |
|

(A) Sensorimotor development
|
|
Canalization
|
- Narrow developmental path where characteristics are resistant to environmental forces
|
|
Maturation (developmental)
|
- genetically-determined patterns of bx; environment has little to no impact
- Environment may impact WHEN the bxs arise, but env't will not affect the SEQUENCE EX: to walk: pull to standing position --> walk while holding furniture --> stand alone --> walk alone |
|
Critical Period vs. Sensitive Period
|
Critical: LIMITED TIME SPAN where biologically prepared to gain skill/bx if REQUIRED env't stim is present (more common in ANIMALS)
Sensitive: OPTIMAL time for bx/skill to develop, but it CAN DEVELOP LATER (more used with HUMANS |
|
Reaction range
|
Each person is genetically predisposed with lower and upper boundaries for developing a certain train. Env't determines where the range a person falls. Higher upper boundary usually has bigger range
|
|
Genotype vs Phenotype
|
Genotype: characteristics determeined by genes (Bb vs BB vs bb)
Phenotype: observable, measurable traints, can be result of interactoin between genetics and env't (i.e., height, eye color, personality) |
|
