16. Give an example of a developmental psychopathology questions that could potentially be addressed by longitudinal research, but could not be addressed by cross-sectional research (6 points)
Longitudinal research studies the long-term repeated observation of specific variables. Much differently, cross-sectional research is observes specific variables at a specific time period and not again. There are several developmental psychopathology questions that could be addressed by longitudinal research but not cross-sectional research studies. The question of how an individual’s symptoms of ADHD will affect their activities of daily living over time could be answered with a longitudinal study. It is impossible to only observe the sample group …show more content…
An example would be twins while genetically very similar, these siblings still have different environmental contexts outside the home. One twin might be on the cheerleading squad while the other is involved in a book club and these non-shared environments might have different consequences on their overall development (Weis, 2014).
20. What are the four types of parenting described in Diana Baumrind’s classic research?
The four types of parenting described in Diana Baumrid’s classic research are authoritative, authoritarian, indulgent, and uninvolved. Authoritative parents are high in both warmth and control while authoritarian parents show high control and low levels of warmth. Indulgent parents show low levels of control coupled with high levels of warmth while uninvolved show low levels of warmth and control (Weis, 2014).
21. What is Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory? Define each of the systems included in his model. Describe how each level of this model offers a partial explanation for the increase in diagnostic rates of ADHD in the United States in the past 20 years. (12 points – unlike other questions on this exam 8 or more sentences will be required to give an adequate …show more content…
The child’s microsystem is most proximal and includes relationships they have with family as well as underlying genetic and psychological factors. The microsystem can be related to the increase of diagnostic rates of ADHD with the discovery that ADHD is related heavily to genetics. The child’s mesosystem is the interactions that exist between the immediate surroundings of a child. The increase in diagnostic rates of ADHD is in part related to structural inconsistency that exists between a child’s home and school which allows symptoms to surface. The child’s exosystem consists of the outer influences that directly affect their proximal surroundings without touching the child. An example of how the exosystem can be related to the increase in ADHD diagnostic rates is the ability for parent’s to receive health care via the health care reform, consequently allowing the child to be seen by a provider who can diagnose their symptoms. The child’s macrosystem is the very distal environmental influences that effect development. The macrosystem has causes an increase in diagnostic rates of ADHD by placing a cultural emphasis on school performance which has consequently resulted in the emergence of ADHD symptoms (Weis,
