I gathered my data through three object-hiding tasks, and for these tasks I used a plastic, green Brachiosaurus – the size of a television remote control. The first task consisted of me showing each child the toy dinosaur and then hiding it under a blanket in front of the child. I performed the task to the ten month old first; she became fascinated by the toy creature and reached out for it when I presented it to her. I methodically placed the toy under the blanket in front of us, in which she picked up the blanket with one hand and grasped the toy with the other. The second child, twenty months of age, did the same thing without any…
Perspective taking and theory of mind play a huge part in a child’s moral behavior. They both have to do with seeing and understanding that everyone has their own feelings and way of thinking. In the video Born Good? Babies Help Unlock The Origins of Morality, there was a study that was done to see which stuffed animal the babies would favor depending on the type of snack it ate. The babies ended up reaching for the stuffed animal that preferred the same type of snack as the baby.…
In this article “The Peril of Obedience” Stanley Milgram conducted a series of experiments to determine if people would choose to follow authority or obey their morals. In this series of experiments the experimenter Stanley Milgram found a few contributors to test out his theory. Before he started his experiment he had to pick a teacher and a student, who each got a piece of paper to decide which one is going to give the shocks and which one was going to take the shocks. The learner was strapped up to an electric chair while the teacher would be on the other side talking through a microphone providing word pairs. The teacher would tell the student a list of words, then the learner read back the list of words and if the student got the word…
Psychology researchers used variety of methods to produce valid and reliable studies about human behaviour. Deriving from the second, sixth and seventh chapters of Investigating Psychology, this essay will discuss about the different approaches to studying the effect of obedience on people behaviour, children social actions and friendships, and how neuropsychology studied the way the brain work and control the cognitive process of language, using the technologically advanced methods or not using them. An important approach is the classic experiment, which was used to explore many psychological fields by studying the effect of manipulating some variables on another. One example is the obedience study by Stanley Milgram, (Banyard, 2012, page…

Even the most tamed hamster can be aggressive towards their owner, without the owner's knowledge of the hamsters behavior. There are many influences that can take effect on a hamster, like their natural behavior, environment, social status, natural instincts, and food. Over decades of research, laboratories, and experiments, the hamster will always have some type of aggression that we cannot change or eliminate. With children if the mother starts to hold and interact with the child at a young age, the child is more likely to have a bond and be use to the mother, just like a hamster. For example, “If they become accustomed to human handling early, they can be easily picked up and should not bite unless they are startled” (Kahn).…
Moral development, based on Kohlberg’s theory, states that children undergo levels and stages of morals through the years of growing up; mainly in childhood. The theory says that they’re three levels — pre-conventional, conventional, and postconventional morality. Within those three levels, they’re two stages in each level: thus, having six stages in total. The stages themselves describe a child's behavior and their thinking. But, not every child goes through the same levels and stages at the same time —each one is different — neither go through them in order nor all the stages side by side.…
To further this point, Berger states that, “toddlers use mental combinations, intellectual experimentation via imagination that can supersede little scientist stage” (2015, p. 176). Though we cannot know the exact age of the toddler due to the method of observation, it is clear that the toddler is fully present in at least the fifth and sixth stage of the six stages of sensorimotor intelligence. Child A observed has combined his thinking of stacking tube and putting blocks in there. The result depends on different orientation. He successfully stacked one small and one big tube on his tube, and while stacking one more on top made everything…
Abstract: There are three developmental psychologists who have laid the foundations to what we know about development. These three psychologists are Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, and Lawrence Kohlberg. They have created theories of cognitive, psychosocial, and moral development. I tested out all three of these theories on two kindergarten kids, who I will refer to as Jane and John. I’ve determined where they are in the developmental stages and if I believe if their theories are reasonable and true.…
Moral development is an individual’s sense of justice and what they define as right and wrong. Lawrence Kohlberg is a theorist of moral development. His theories focus on justice. He performed several experiments to evaluate differences in morals. One example, is the story of Heinz.…
