• Developmental psych focuses on physical, cognitive, and social development throughout life looking at:
  • How nature and nurture interact?
  • What parts of development are gradual and continuous? What parts are abrupt?
  • What traits stay throughout life? What traits change as we age?
• Nature vs. Nurture
  • Genes predispose shared humanity and differences of individual 
  • Our experiences also have a part and we are formed by the interaction of both 
  • We all share same life cycle though we can be different in how we are raised which affects our future 
  • Ethnicity and group-group differences are not as bit as individual differences
• Continuity and Stages
  • Some say that we grow gradually to adults, but others say we grow abruptly following certain stages or steps, but either way we all go through the same way
  • Jean Piaget explains cognitive development, Lawrence Kohlberg explains moral development, and Erik Erikson describes psychosocial development 
  • But some research goes against these clearly labeled stages 
  • The concept of a stage helps as brain growth does happen around Piaget's stages and they can also explain differences in how we think at different ages
• Stability and Change
  • Do we stay the same, or change too much to be recognized over our life times?
  • Research shows how our personalities and how we act, stay rather the same over the course of our lives 
  • Being a happy person will stay with you for all your life and the struggles of the present may lay the foundation for a happier future
  • Some traits change a lot however, like social attitudes which can change in teenage years 
  • We all do change as shy toddlers usually open up, irresponsible 16 year olds turn into 40 year old business or cultural leaders, but though it might seem like people get more relaxed they still are the same compared to others around them 
  • We need both stability and change to ensure that we have identity and know who we are, but also to be able to encounter any of lifes changes

• Conception
  • Reproduction starts with the womans egg and mans sperm that will then fuse together later on
  • This fusing together is one of the luckiest things to happen as there are many sperm that try to fuse w the egg during fertilization
• Prenatal Development 
  • A very small amount of zygotes actually get through the first week but once they do they begin to replicate up to 100 cells and then differentiate into different parts 
  • 10 days after conception the zygote attaches to the mother's uterine wall and then the inside is the embryo and the outside is the placenta 
  • After 6 weeks, organs begin to work and heart beats
  • 1/270 parents are lucky enough to have twins 
  • 9 weeks, the embryo looks like a human (fetus) and by 6 months the organs work well enough for a good chance of survival if premature
  • Genetic and environmental factors affect development as seen w the mother's voice which exposes fetus likes most when born and also makes cries like the mother's native tongue as well 
  • 2 Months before birth, fetuses learn ways to adapt to things around them like people living near RR
  • Though the placenta keeps some toxins out, teratogens, viruses or drugs, can get to the fetus like alcohol which can cause the child to like alcohol later in life 
  • Drinking in any form can damage the baby and can lead to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, where they have lifelong brain or physical abnormalities as Alcohol can turn DNA on and off in womb

• Babies come with behaviors and automatic reflexes to help survival
• New parents often surprised by the rooting reflex as when a baby feels a touch on cheek, moves towards it, and then roots for a nipple to then feed from it by tonguing, swallowing, and breathing
• Not finding this nourishment, babies might cry, which will get parents to get nourishment quickly
• Babies were thought to not know whats going on, but was studied through eye tracking devices and special pacifiers
• Researchers followed this w habituation and how the babies would get used to a stimulus after a while
• They used visual preference to see and when shown cats or dogs and then shown a hybrid, the baby would look at the face and would stare longer if different
• Newborns also like sights and sounds that help social responsiveness as they like images of faces more and human voices as well
• We are imprinted by smells at birth, especially that of our mothers as babies tend to follow it, even if it is artificially put there

36-1: What are the structural components of language?

• Language Structure
  • Spoken language can be split into: 
    • Phonemes: The smallest distinctive sounds in a language such as chat that has ch, a, and t and there are 869 total different ones in all languages, English only uses 40 while others have half or more than double that
    • Morphemes: Smallest units that carry meaning in a given language some in English are both Phonemes and Morphemes like I or s but words can have more phonemes such as bat or gentle or words like preview or adapted 
    • Grammar: System of rules that enables us to communicate w one another which help us get meaning from sounds and order of words 
  • Language becomes more and more complex, but it is from simple things but the complexity we see is what distinguishes us from other animals in language capacity
• Language Development
  • From age 1 to high school graduation we learn 60,000 words, but how?
  • We can't state our language's syntax rules, but we are able to make correct sentences as a preschooler while college students learning a new language cannot
  • We are extremely good at making sentences and remembering words as we make these sentences up on the fly while thinking of other things which is amazing taking into consideration all that can be put as wrong

• Receptive Language
  • Children's language moves from simple to complex as it starts w not being able to talk to recognizing differences in speech sounds and reading lips at around 4 months
  • By 7 months babies are able to segment spoken sounds into words and based on how good they are at this, it can predict their language abilities at ages 2 and 5
• Productive Language 
  • Babies' productive language, or producing words, comes next as they are able to recognize noun verb differences as they respond to misplaced ones
  • Before nurture takes its course, babies begin to making different sounds in the babbling stage at around 4 months which leads them to just make different sounds 
  • They do not imitate human speech or the language they hear and deaf babies w deaf parents do this w their hands 
  • By 10 months, the babbling has meaning as a trained ear can understand what the baby wants and w/o other languages, the baby only goes w the native tongue
  • Thus, once theyre older they cannot distinguish sounds in japanese as Japanese can't from english w r and l
  • Around the first birthday, children get to the one word stage as they realize sounds carry meaning and if trained will associate what they see w what to say
  • Over time they begin to use sounds to communicate which fam can understand and over time turns into nouns that stand for a sentence
  • By 18 months, they learn more and get two the 2 word stage by their 2nd bday and get telegraphic speech where there is mostly nouns and verbs 
  • These also follow syntax of language as in spanish homes it goes noun adjective while in english it goes adjective noun
  • After that they begin to say longer and longer phrases and even if behind they can catch up as they learn quicker 
  • By early elementary school, kids understand complex sentences and begin to enjoy in humor conveyed by double meanings

• Languages share universal grammar like verbs, nouns, and adjectives and we humans are built to learn grammar that we don't even need training for it
• We are not set for a specific language though and we readily learn the language around us starting w nouns usually
• Statistical Learning
  • Though adults cannot recognize syllables from other languages, infants can do it very well since they are just beginning to learn language 
  • Further seen w how they can distinguish syllable patterns and pay attention to ones they don't know 
• Critical Periods 
  • Adults cannot do this as well as they learn the language away from the critical period of childhood where we are meant to learn language so therefore, the earlier we learn a language, the better
  • The window of language starts to close at a bout 2 or 3 but fully closes at age 7 where if there is no language present, the kid might not be able to learn any language
  • Also seen in deaf children that don't learn language early enough as they are never as fluent as those who have

• Though we can learn language very easily, it can be lost easily as well w aphasia, even if it does not affect every part of one's linguistic ability as reading or writing
• Seen w Broca's area where if damaged, speech would be impaired and Wernicke's area that if damaged would lead to meaningless words and bad understanding
• This has been confirmed by neuroscience but also seen w language being all around the brain w MRI showing how we interpret different things like jokes, vowels or stories
• A good thing to remember is that we divide mental functions such as how we read and understand what is seen and thus, is why if we have a stroke, only some might be affected
• What we experience is a just the visible tip of the info processing iceberg
• We get a C on decision making and risk assessment 
• B on inventive ways to solve problems that are prone to fixation
• An A on cognitive efficiency through heuristics 
• A+ on how we are creative, learn and use language

• Which comes first? Thinking or language?
• Language Influences on Thinking
  • Benjamin Lee Whorf thought that language determines thinking, like Hopi who didn't have past tense so they couldn't easily think about the past 
  • This is linguistic determinism and is way too extreme as we sometimes think of things that can't be put into words 
  • When you speak a language, it has been seen that you think differently of yourself as w English and Japanese that are very different and focus on different kinds of emotions
  • Bilingual individuals seem to change their personalities depending on which language they are speaking at the time 
  • Words don't determine, but they influence as seen w Piraha people of Brazil that don't have numbers past 2 so identifying numbers is v difficult for them 
  • Words influence our thinking in memory as some languages have more varying words for colors which could help someone remember the difference between two shades better 
  • `Perceived differences grow when we identify colors and group them together by what they sort of look like 
  • Words do have a subtle influence in what they tell as there can be big differences between one thing written and another that means the same thing
  • To expand language also expands ability to think as seen with child development over time and getting more and more new thoughts 
  • This also applies to bilingual people based on how the mind must think in two languages and thus helps focus more than those that only know one 
  • Seen in a Canadian Program where english speaking kids were taught just in French which helped learn French and did not affect English speaking ability at all and increased test scores in general as well 
  • Language links us to one another and also links us to the past and future
• Thinking in Images
  • Sometimes, what we think is not in words, but in images 
  • By imagining things done, one can sort of practice them and even get better
  • For someone who has learned a skill watching it activates areas of the brain as if it is being done and thus imagining it is like practicing 
  • One experiment on the University of Tennessee womens basketball team w free throw shooting showed it would help a lot to improve over time
  • Mental rehearsal also helps if you think of how you want to achieve your goals rather than focus on the destination
  • The relationship goes both ways then as thinking affects language and language affects thought as well 
  • The mind is capable of good and bad but we do have many faculties as seen with our great power in language

• Infancy is new born to toddler and childhood is toddler to teenager that we've all experienced w all physical, cognitive, and social milestones
• Maturation is the orderly sequence of biological growth and is set by nature but experience can adjust it w what happens 
• Brain Development:
  • In the womb, the brain develops very quickly and production peaks at 28 weeks to get to 23 billion neurons by birth
  • We develop from birth on as we do have most cells we'll ever have, but systems are immature which get to maturation w growth spurts in brain 
  • From 3 to 6 years old, frontal lobes grow the most and makes rational planning, attention, and behavior by preschoolers better 
  • Association areas are the last to develop and w it comes mental abilities getting better which goes into puberty and a use it or lose it pruning process shuts down any unused link and strengthens used ones 
• Motor Development 
  • Infant's muscles mature to get new skills as they first roll over and sit, then crawl, and then run which is all based on maturing nervous system not imitation
  • There are some variations though on timing s it may take some infants more time to walk or crawl than others and also can be affected by other things 
  • Such as the recommended back to sleep position for babies could reduce risk of smothering crib death but also ut off crawling stage 
  • Genes guide motor development as identical twins walk on nearly the same day and maturation helps the cerebellum get ready to walk by age 1
  • It is the same for bladder and bowel control as they're nervous system is not ready yet and experience doesn't do much during this time

• We start out w infantile amnesia until about 3.5 years old and after that we get better and better at remembering things into our teenage years as hippocampus and frontal lobes keep developing 
• We don't recall from much from when we were infants, but we were processing and storing information in those years as seen by Carolyn Rovee-Collier 
• She saw with her son that he could associate kicking w the moving of his mobile and saw it in other kids as well and they would only do it with theirs and not one they didn't recognize 
• Forgotten childhood languages can be stored in our minds as adults that spoke Hindu or Zulu as children relearned a lot better than others who had not

• From start to now, we have become conscious and developed from there which Jean Piaget has studied int he cognitive development of children 
• Started by administering intelligence tests for kids and saw similar wrong answers among them thinking something could be there 
• Piaget saw that children reason differently than adults as they do it in illogical ways that adults might think is very very wrong 
• He believed that mind developed through stages that started w newborn reflexes to abstract reasoning explaining why 8 year olds could comprehend what a toddler could not 
• His main idea was that we progressed to be able to make sense of what we experienced in building  schemas for everything around us 
• Piaget said we first assimilated new experiences into current schemas like calling any 4 legged animal a dog and would accommodate our schemas to fit what we see  as we finally realize dogs dont just have 4 legs
• Piaget's Theory and Current Thinking
  • He thought that kids made understanding by interacting and getting more info to then move up in stages starting w sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational
  • Sensorimotor Stage
    • From birth to two years of age where we take info in from our senses and actions (looking, touching, hearing, mouthing, and grasping)
    • Young babies live in the present as they don't have object permanence as when they don't see it, they think its not there 
    • This goes up to 6 months and by 8 months or a year, they will begin to look for what they saw before 
    • Today's researchers think its more continuous as object permanence unfolds gradually as even some young infants will look for a toy momentarily
    • Baby Physics: Infants look longer at things that are unexpected like a car going through a solid object, a ball stopping in mid air, or an object violating object permanence by disappearing 
    • Baby Math: Babies can also count as seen w babies who would be surprised if 2 toys were hidden and then revealed to b 3 toys and is based on numbers and not mass
    • Thus, we are smarter than piaget thought as babies 
  • Preoperational Stage 
    • Until 6 or 7 years old we are in preoperational stage where we cannot perform mental operations like imagining an action and reversing it 
    • This was seen w children who thought that by moving milk into a taller glass, there would be more, when actually it was the same, which is the concept of conservation 
    • Piaget did not think changes were abrupt but symbolic thinking comes up earlier than he thought at around 3 years old 
    • 2.5 year olds can't do this, where they find something hidden when shown were it is on a map of the room but 3 year olds can
    • Egocentrism
      • Piaget said that preschoolers were egocentric, they couldn't really perceive things from other points of view as seen when a kid told to show her mother a picture, she just looked at it herself or how kids cover their eyes to not be seen 
      • TV watching preschoolers blocking the TV won't think they're blocking as they can only think of their own perspective 
      • Similar to curse of knowledge in teens and adults when we think if something is clear to us, it is to others, but usually is not 
    • Theory of Mind
      • Preschoolers develop the ability to infer others' mental states when the form theory of mind 
      • Even as infants we can assume others beliefs but this develops over time as we begin to understand why others get mad
      • In experiment, kids shown box of band aids w pencils in it and many thought band aids were in it but by 4 or 5, kids could anticipate the false belief that band aids were in there 
      • In another experiment, kids were shown a doll named Sally putting her ball in a red cupboard but then another doll moving it and researchers would ask where sally would look for the ball first 
      • Kids with Austism spectrum disorder would not be able to realize that sally would look in the red one as they cannot separate their own state of mind
      • Deaf kids w minimal comms opportunities and hearing parents face the same struggle w inferring others states of mind
  • Concrete Operational Stage
    • By 6 or 7 kids are in the Concrete operational stage where they can understand conservation with mental operations that they could not before and enjoy jokes focused on this 
    • In this stage kids are also better at math transformations and conservations as authors kid would take a long time for 8+4 =12 and 12-4=8 but by 8 years old it was quik maths 
  • Formal Operational Stage
    • By age 12, kids go into more abstract thinking and they begin to think like scientists, if this then seeing what consequences would be involved which is formal operational thinking 
• An Alternative Viewpoint: Lev Vygotsky's Scaffolding
  • Lev Vygotsky was making his theory as Piaget was and thought that by age 7 they used more words to solve problems as it would help and would be from parents as well 
  • Vygotsky thought that children were changed by their social environment and that mentoring children would be like a scaffold which would help them move up and get better as time went on and that what parents and mentors did was very important 
  • Effective mentoring was when children were ready for a new skill and had a zone of proximal development where they needed help to do something 
• Reflecting on Piaget's Theory
  • Piaget was based more on how the mind gets to certain milestones rather than sequence and was proven around the globe 
  • But today, things are seen more continuously and there is more formal logic than Piaget would've thought as we've adapted his ideas over time
  • Implications for Parenting and Teaching
    • Children don't think like adults do
    • Children need to learn off what they already know 
    • Children's cognitive immaturity is adaptive and can change over time to become mature

• Austism Spectrum disorder is a disorder marked by social deficiencies and repetitive behaviors and has been increasing as cognitively disabled kids have been decreasing showing a new label
•  A new organization has been made to try to see why it happens in people w 100,000 pregnant women and tracking their kids till their 21 
• The main cause is poor communication in the brain through genes that interact w the environment which leads to kids having an impaired theory of mind as they cannot interpret what others facial expressions mean
• To find a cure many worried parents have tried anything 
• Has different levels of severity like High functioning that have some trouble socially and are distracted by minor stimuli while lower end cannot use language at all
• 4:1 boy to girl ratio and might show that it has to do with the brain being too masculine and can be connected to too much testosterone in the womb before birth 
• This might happen less to women as they are better at empathizing and seeing how individuals react to what happens to them 
• Biological factors like genetic influence and abnormal brain development can get ASD but not MMR vaccinations which were a thought before and led to many suffering from measles and mumps and some even dying of it 
• Twin studies show that if one has it, the chances the other one does are higher and also withing normal families as well and could be based on how older men have more genetic mutations in sperm so if they have kids, they could have ASD 
• Seen in brain function as well, as those w ASD don't really mirror what they see as well as normal people 
• Some like Baron-Cohen have tried to help these kids with shows to try to get them to understand empathy which has worked w objects like trains, trams, and tractors having faces and having experiences

• From birth, babies want to be with caregivers, but once they begin to move, things get difficult as they develop stranger anxiety as they recognize faces and only want to be with parents 
• This supports the principle that the brain, mind, and social-emotional behavior develop together 
• Origins of Attachment 
  • One year olds hate being separated from parents and love being with them and this attachment bond is seen as a good survival impulse 
  • Psychologists thought it was just for whoever satisfied the needs of the baby, but it was proved wrong 
  • Body Contact:
    • At U of Wisconsin, Harry Harlow and Margaret Harlow bred babies to study learning w/o mothers, and saw that w/o blankets, the monkeys would be distressed
    • They then put two artificial mothers, one that had a cozy blanket and another that didn't have that but had food 
    • As time went on, the Harlows saw that the Monkeys would rather be with the cozy mothers when stressed and when exploring stayed close to it 
    • Human infants are attached to parents that are warm and soft and much comms goes w touch like soothing snuggles or arousing tickles 
    • Also has the secure base with which to explore and stays in life as it moves from fam to partners and friends as were always social 
  • Familiarity 
    • Familiarity starts with the critical period, when things take place to develop best, and in goslings it happens within ours as chicks imprint on their mother and only follow her around 
    • This rigid process is imprinting and will happen to almost anything even a human and once made, it is hard to reverse 
    • Children don't imprint, but they do have a sensitive period to what they've known and they like familiarity as it breeds content

• Attachment Differences: Temperament and Parenting 
  • To see attachment differences, Mary Ainsworth, looked in strange situations where she would have 1 year olds play w mom in lab 
  • Would be all good if mom was around, but when not babies would become distressed and once back they wanted contact from mom which is secure attachment 
  • Others avoid attachment or have insecure one as they have anxiety from it or avoidance of trusting relationships as some may b less likely to explore and if the mom leaves they might not care or get really distressed and cry a lot 
  • Sensitive mothers (good) had babies w secure attachments while insensitive (bad) mothers had babies w insecure attachments 
  • The monkey study showed this even more as when w/o moms deprived infants would be terrified 
  • But is this based on parenting? or genetically influenced temperament (characteristic emotional reactivity and intensity)
  • Most parents say that babies are different from first breath and heredity does influence temperament so this could be a cause 
  • Some infants are difficult where they are irritable, intense, and unpredictable while others are easy (cheerful, relaxed, and predictable in feeding and sleeping) 
  • Slow to warm up kids are those that resist or withdraw from new people and situations and these temperament differences tend to persist 
  • The genes affect w physiological differences as seen w higher heart rates and reactive nervous system in anxious inhibited infants and in new situations they become more aroused physiologically 
  • One form of Serotonin gene predisposes fearful temperament and w bad caregiving, an inhibited child is made which shows how both genes and environment make enduring personality 
  • But some said the study changed both nature and nurture, so there had to be another study keeping one constant 
  • A dutch researcher got 100 temperamentally difficult 6-9 month year olds and got the experimental groups parents to get trained to be sensitive while other did not 
  • Those that were trained had 68% secure attachment while in the control only 28% and thus supports how programs increase parental sensitivity and infant attachment security 
  • Mothers are usually studied more and w/o mom called maternal deprivation while w/o dad is just father absence but men don't just give sperm they're involvement is also important as it can lead to more successful kids later on 
  • Children's anxiety goes away after 13 months but we don't love any less, we actually have it grow and we stop attaching like before 
  • We start to move away and relax but still stay close to loved ones 
  • Attachment Styles and Later Relationships 
    • Erik Erikson and Joan Erikson believed that w good parenting, kids would have basic trust- believing that life is reliable and predictable- instead of fear
    • How we are parented also affects our relationships later on as avoidant people see parenting as more stress and unsatisfying 
    • Securely attached people have less fear or failure and more drive to achieve, but this fear could be useful to escape dangers

• To see how no good parenting affected kids, psychologists looked at Romanian kids who had been put into orphanages and saw that they were more anxious and were not as intelligent, but this could be corrected if the kids were put into fam homes early
• Most children who grow up under adversity are resilient as they get over the trauma and become normal and seen w victims of childhood sexual abuse as well
• Those that don't get out tho are screwed as seen w Harlow monkeys w/o moms who were very scared or aggressive and could not mate 
• If impregnated, these female monkeys were terrible mothers, some even killing kids showing abuse makes abuse phenomenon which is seen in humans too as 9/16 girls who were abused by moms were abusive moms while none came from non abusive ones
• The unloved, are the unloving as murders and child abusers were abused as kids 
• This abuse can change the brain as those that are abused might be startled easier, be sensitive to angry faces, and be aggressive to smaller or cowardly to same sized hamsters (if hamster)
• This is due to serotonin levels changing that calm these impulses and if they are messed with, they can change the person 
• Kids who went through a lot of abuse, sexual abuse, or war atrocities are at a higher risk for different disorders, substance abuse, health problems, and criminality and can be increased by certain genes showing interactions of nature and nurture
• Adults suffer when they have to detach as seen w separated couples which starts w sadness but then detachment happens and they get back to normal and feel better 
• But after time has passed, some are surprised how they want to be with their partner

• Day Care:
  • When stay at home moms were the norm psychologists asked how day care could affect children 
  • Over time, Sandra Scarr got a lot of research together which showed that it did not and that maternal employment would not impact children's development in any major form 
  • Then research focused on quality differences and showed that poorer day care would not help children as much as high quality well run day care 
  • Children's ability to thrive under many different care givers shouldn't surprise based on the many different ways kids are brought up as in West its mom and dad but in others it could be by more people 
  • With a study of kids from 1 month to 4.5-6 years, day care did give more thinking and language skills but also had more aggressiveness and defiance but only showed some risk as other things influenced it as well 
  • There is support for kids to be around adults that they can learn to trust all day as studies have shown that this is beneficial for the kids overtime and was even implemented in Finland as law for all 1st and second graders

• Childhood's main achievement is positive sense of self or self concept where they understand and assess who they are 
• We can't ask so Charles Darwin thought that this sense of self would be shown w a mirror and was done as researchers put color on the nose and 6 month olds don't know its on them but 15-18 month olds do see it as themselves
• By school age, kids can give detailed descriptions and by 8 or 10, they have the stable self image 
• Children w positive self concepts are more confident, independent, optimistic, and assertive

• Parenting Styles 
  • 3 Styles of parenting:
    • Authoritarian: parents impose rules and expect obedience 
    • Permissive parents submit to their children's desires and make few demands w little punishment
    • Authoritative parents are both as they exert control but also explain reasons for rules and allow open discussion and help in making rules later on 
  • Research shows that kids that are w Authoritative parents are better off and doesn't really vary much from culture to culture also helps if they are in authoritative communities as well 
  • Those w authoritarian parents have less social skill and self esteem and those w permissive are more aggressive and immature
  • This is all correlational, not causation as seen before but there are other reasons for the connection 
  • Children's traits might bring out certain parenting and also could be that competent genes in both parents and kids make them have social competence
  • Those that get advice must see that the person giving advice is biased towards their own and that if they want obedience go too hard, but if they want kids to be sociable and self reliant than just right works
• Culture and Child Raising 
  • Child raising can differ based off cultural values which also differ in time and place as now its more independence based, but before in West it was obedience 
  • Many Asians and Africans value emotional closeness and are more together as a unit like w shame from one gets everyone and fam glory gets everyone too
  • There are so many ways to raise a child and we might think ours is the best way, but children and people thrive in all of them 
  • Having kids gives a lot of good, but also stress but its ok as its our connection to the future and the past w parents

• Erik Erikson believed that each stage had a task to complete and that of adolescence was to find one's self 
• Erikson was a Jew w a Gentile dad so he really felt like an outsider and thus, made him think that this time was all about identity 
• Forming an Identity
  • Teens try out different selves in individualists cultures around different people which might bring problems like bringing friends home and the solution to this brings the various selves into a consistent and comfy identity
  • Social identity usually form around the distinctiveness of the group from everyone else
  • But this doesn't always happen as some make their identities early from fam or have it forced from fam but others may go against fam in their identity w another group 
  • Most young people have a sense of contentment w their lives and they also are thought to want to find a purpose outside of themselves as said by William Damon 
  • Late teen years w jobs and college give new opportunities but it might be better to have a clearer identity before as it could avoid self destructive behaviors 
  • Self esteem falls in early to mid teen years and goes back up by late teens and 20s and by this time agreeableness and emotional stability go up as well 
  • In adolescence we develop a capacity for intimacy which helps us make close relationship which are a source of great pleasure as we are usually happier w others than alone

• Parent and Peer Relationship
  • Adolescents over time tend to get away from their family gradually and begin to argue over things as well
  • Some parents and kids are way too different and have a lot of stress, but usually they work out and arguments are over small things
  • Positive relationships w parents usually means good for the kids as it is bad if it is not positive 
  • Teens focus more on peers as when parents asked if they talked w teens about drugs 85% said yes, while 45% of teens recalled it 
  • Heredity affect temperament and personality differences while peers do the rest as friends usually dress similar and act more like each other than parents 
  • Peer approval really matters as those that aren't in a group are vulnerable to loneliness, self esteem, and depression which sucks since high school is a clique driven and exclusionary system 
  • Teens think fam has more power over other things like religion, political views, and college and career choices

• In other times, adolescence was much shorter as new adults would have to work and have responsibilities after rite of passage after sexual maturity
• W schools, independence moved back which led to people doing things at an older age which overlapped w earlier onset of puberty which was not always good 
• Later independence and earlier sexual maturity leads to a longer adolescence and a new time called emerging adulthood from 18-26 when people aren't quite settled down and have a ton of responsibilities but might still be connected to fam in some way or form

]]> 2018-01-26 01:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/diegozun1100/x27i69hducjz/wish/224915065 diegozun1100 https://padlet.com/diegozun1100/x27i69hducjz/wish/225321320 51-1: How is adolescence defined, and what physical changes mark this period?

• We develop all the time w life-span perspective, seen w adolescence, where we go from child to adult starting w sexual maturity and ending w social independence as adult 
• G. Stanley Hall thought that adolescence had tension between biological maturity and social dependence which brings stress 
• This time is when people feel the vitality of life w/o adulting, rewarding friendships, heightened idealism, and growing sense of exciting possibilities
• Physical Development 
  • Adolescence starts w puberty as we mature sexually and comes after surge of hormones that may intensify moods and changes body 
  • The sequence of development is always the same, but timing is sometimes different between people which can led to psychological consequences though there are no physical ones 
  • For boys who mature early, they may be more popular, self assured and independent, but they could get into alcohol, delinquency, and sex 
  • Girls w early maturation might struggle w being to early compared to peers and might hang w older teens and be teased or seuxally harassed
  • Brains change too, as what we don't use is lost, though before our brains kept growing and growing 
  • The Frontal lobes keep developing w more myelin and helps w judgement, impulse control, and long term planning 
  • The limbic system is developed a lot faster though as hormonal surges and development can lead to occasional impulsiveness, risky behaviors, and emotional storms
  • Risky behaviors are not from underestimating risks, but feeling immediate rewards and benefits 
  • The brain will end up a lot better unless the teen drinks too much, but aside from that all will end well at around 25 years old 
  • The APA and other orgs tried to not have death penalties for 16 or 17 year olds as they are still adolescents and don't think right and got it

• Reasoning is often self focused to start, but then moves to others as they think of what others think about them and think more abstractly 
• Developing Reasoning Power
  • W formal operations, teens think more abstractly about their world and about what ideally possible and is real and may debate human nature, truth and justice, good and evil
  • Also might seek a deeper conception of God and existence and this reasoning could make them better in seeing inconsistencies and hypocrisies and could lead to more debates 
• Developing Morality
  • Two crucial tasks for childhood and adolescence is morality and character which control impulses and can be affected by the high road of deliberate thinking and low road of unconscious thinking 
  • Moral Reasoning
    • Piaget thought that kids moral judgements helped develop and so did Lawrence Kohlberg who wanted to explain moral reasoning
    • With this he posed moral dilemmas and then analyzed answers of kids teens and adults and found 3 levels of moral thinking that made a moral ladder but critics said last was too limited culturally:
    • Preconventional:
      • Self interest; obey rules to avoid punishment and gain rewards (before age 9)
    • Conventional Morality:
      • Uphold laws and rules to gain social approval or maintain social order (early teens)
    • Post Conventional Morality
      • Actions reflect belief in basic rights and self defined ethical principles (teens and beyond)
  • Moral Intuition
    • Jonathan Haidt thinks that morality is from intuition, or quick gut feelins like disgust when seeing people doing bad things or elevation from seeing good being done 
    • Seen w woman wanting to sing and jump and hug guy doing good in the world 
    • Lab games show that want to punish is from moral outrage after seeing bad done and thus shows how moral reasoning tries to convince us of what we felt 
    • Moral paradoxes help as w saving 5 people but you have to kill one 
    • Now imagine same, but you had to push 1 killed in, many said no because they had to do it which changed moral judgement 
    • Moral reasoning also does stuff tho as seen in religion and is compared to camera as it can b automatic but sometimes we can get around automatic impulse 
    • Moral Action
      • Moral thinking is just talk, but action is what is done and Hannah Arendt saw that many Nazi guards were moral people just corrupted by bad situation
      • Character edu programs try to focus on all moral package and they try to bring out empathy and self disciplines to control one selves (delay gratification) 
      • Also w so much good done, it brings out more good to happen later like in a cycle

• Men and women can be different due to their different sex chromosomes, genetically, or differing concentrations of sex hormones, physiologically
• Prenatal Sexual Development 
  • Up to seven weeks, we have no gender but then dad's X or Y Chromosomes leads you to be a boy or a girl 
  • The Y chromosome is a single gene which starts making testosterone at 7 weeks to b like a boy but girls have it too, just less 
  • At 4-5 months, the hormones get to the brain and wire differently depending on hormones around it from testosterone or female hormones
• Adolescent Sexual Development 
  • Maturing sexually= puberty and starts at 11 for girls and 13 for guys and it lasts 2 years ish but before that physical attraction starts
  • Boys get a lot taller, and during growth primary sex characteristics like reproductive sex organs and genitalia develop drastically
  • Secondary sec characteristics do too as breasts and hips in girls, facial hair and deepened voices in boys and pubic and underarm hair
  • In some countries girls are developing breasts earlier due to more body fat, hormone mimicking chemicals and more stress over fam disruption
  • Puberty's landmarks are first nut for guys (spermarche) by 14 and first period (menarche) for girls within a year of 12.5 
  • Menarche happens earlier if there is stress over fathers absence, sexual abuse or insecure attachments, but girls who are prepared feel it is good 
  • Also many recall first one and men also recall first nut too which usually is a wet dream

• Variations on Sexual Development 
  • Sometimes, nature blurs lines between male and females seen w intersex people who are born w combinations of male and female features 
  • Usually if this happens, they are made girls and sometimes works out but other times they still identify as guys or are unclear
  • One boy had his penis lost during bad circumcision so fam raised him as a girl but he didn't like it and was a man and even got married and was step father but then committed suicide
  • This shows that both nature and nurture work together to make our identities

• Sexually Transmitted Infections
  • Rates of STIs are actually going up especially in younger girls as they do not have antibodies to fight them off 
  • If someone uses birth control that is 98% effective in preventing pregnancy or infection, 2% chance of failure, the risk after 30 times is around 50 % plus when people really like someone they underestimate risks 
  • Condoms offer limited protection from certain skin to skin STIs but also reduce other risks as seen w Thai study that showed they cut bacterial STIs from 410k to 27k 
  • Also helps for 80%effective against HIV transmission but it can spread through other means, but sex is most common and usually easier from men to women due to more HIV in sperm and can linger in woman for a long time
• Many do die though of AIDs due to how it has a log incubation period and in some places there aren't enough resources to fight against its spread 
• Oral sex could also cause this w HPV but there are ways to stop it, like vaccination

• Teen Pregnancy
  • Being able to have sex, it is added to teen's identity, but it is mostly from culture as before 1900 barely any girls had pre marital sex but b4 2000 it was half of US high schoolers 
  • Asian and Arab countries and those descendant from these usually don't though, which shows how family and cultural values matter
  • Environmental factors that cause teen pregnancies are:
  • Minimal Communication about Birth Control
    • Teens that don't really talk much about it usually don't use it while those that do talk openly are much more likely
  • Guilt related to sexual activity
    • Passion in the moment could reduce the thought of using a condom to protect against pregnancy
  • Alcohol Use
    • Those that drink alcohol could have impaired judgement and not use a condom which could be bad 
  • Mass media norms of unprotected promiscuity
    • The more teens see of sex in tv the more likely they are to think having sex is ok and to actually do it
  • Even with abstinence programs to get kids to not have sex, the percentages are still the same and there isn't much difference at all 
  • Some studies showed that 
    • Higher intelligence kids would usually wait to have sex compared to other 
    • Religiously active kids usually leave it for marriage 
    • Teen w less presence of fathers or fam were more likely to have sex and also w how much fam knew
    • Service learning also helps w not having sex but researchers don't know why

• How we show sexual interest is sexual orientation, either homosexual, heterosexual, or bisexual and hetero prevails while homo endures
• The most accurate number we have of people that are gay is about 3% of men and 1-2% in women, but many report same sex contact in life and even more have homosexual fantasies 
• To try to understand how homosexual people feel, imagine if it was the other way around 
• Orientation cannot be willfully changed or chosen but if tried could harm and can cause harm just being homosexual as they can be teased and hurt emotionally which leads to depression but homosexuality itself doesn't cause this
• Its like dominant hand, in which we can't really change it and it stays the same 
• But this is more for men as they are usually less bisexual than women are and can apply to those that feel they are homosexual or can't decide
• Environment and Sexual Orientation
  • The environment around a kid doesn't really have much to do with them as parents don't change is much, neither do sexual hormones
  • If there any environmental factors, we don't know what they are 
• Biology and Sexual Orientation
  • Same-Sex Attraction in Other Species
    • Homosexuality is present in many other species as well showing how some degree of it is natual
  • Gay-Straight Brain Differences
    • Simon LeVay did a study where he looked at dead homosexual and heterosexual people and saw that the hypothalamus in heterosexual men were bigger than that of women and homosexual men
    • This isn't really surprising as everything psychological, is biological but where did the difference come from?
    • LeVay thought it could be made by homosexual start or the change could make homosexuality and saw to be caused early, either birth or before 
    • In a study, there was seen a difference in reaction between gay and straight men after smelling men's sweat which was more like women than men and same way for lesbians 
    • Genetic Influences
      • Brings the question of how gay genes are passed down if they can't reproduce, but then the genes could be in other family members and be spread that way
      • Another theory says that it is because some women are more attracted to men which then get to their sons to make them gay 
      • Twin studies show that genes influence orientation as identical twins are more likely to be gay but differs in many so it must be something else 
      • In fruit flies, people could change their orientation, so that could happen w humans and is being analyzed 
    • Prenatal Influences 
      • Prenatal environment matters as seen w more twins studies 
      • During a critical period for brain development, exposure to certain hormones can lead to a big change in orientation as seen w pregnant sheep getting testosterone injections w lesbian offspring 
      • Another theory says that the mom's immune system limits stuff that limits normal male development to then get gay kids 
      • Gay-Straight Differences
        • Gay men tend to be shorter and lighter than normal and gay women usually bigger and also more likely to be left handed 
        • Spatial abilities also differ as the straight males win out but gay people right in between women and men but gays and straight women remember objects locations better 
    • All in all we have concluded that orientation is definitely biological but the exact cause is still unknown

Attachment as a baby affects how people are later on in life 

Seen in Henry Harlow's experiments w those that didn't have mothers were unable to be good in relationships later on

People are not born w morals, but they develop over time as we base this thought on whats around us to learn what right and wrong is

People are born with the beginnings of morals that need to be nurtured into actual morality and sense of right and wrong, but it can also be lost at times at well

Lawrence Kohlberg 

• 3 Levels 
• Preconventional
  • Morality of self interest 
  • Gain concrete rewards or avoid punishment 
  • Focused on the laws or government or authority
• Conventional Level
  • Morality of law and social rules
  • Gain approval or avoid disapproval 
  • Focused on others 
• Post Conventional Level
  • Morality of abstract principles: to affirm agreed upon rights and personal ethical principles 
  • Rules are relative for everyone 
• Focus goes from self to people or society as a whole
