DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY

All life events are formative. All contribute to what we become, year by year, as we go on growing. As my friend,

the poet Kenneth Koch once said, ‘You aren’t just the age you are. You are all the

ages you have ever been.’ – Fred Rogers

Day 3: Attachment, Psychosocial Dev., and Morality

Lev Vygotsky Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development

¨  Contrasts with Piaget (who emphasized maturation ((nature)) and development in stages ((discontinuity))

¨  Vygotsky emphasized the role of the

environment (nurture) and gradual growth (continuity).

Lev Vygotsky Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development

¨  Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working alone and the level at which a child can solve a problem with the assistance of an adult. ¤ working closely with an instructor, a child works

close to the upper limit of his capabilities. ¤ The child eventually will be able to work at that

high level independently. ¤ Once the goal (upper limit) is achieved, it

becomes the new lower limit of that child’s ZPD.

Harry HARLOW ¨ Conducted a study of attachment

in monkeys. (1963-1968).

¨ Monkeys preferred the comfort of a cloth surrogate "mother" over that of a wire one – proving that attachment is about more than just supplying food .

Mary AINSWORTH ¨ Conducted the “Strange Situation

Test” of Attachment (1960s).

¨ Results showed that securely attached children:

will explore freely while the mother is present will engage with strangers will be visibly upset when the mother departs will be happy to see the mother return will not engage with stranger if mother is not in room

Ainsworth’s attachment styles

¨  Insecure-avoidant (20%) – not distressed at mother leaving or stranger arriving; cool response when mother returns

¨  Probably caused by distant mothers

Page 8: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

Ainsworth’s attachment styles

¨  insecure- resistant (12%) – clingy to mother; traumatized by every stage of the experiment; distrustful of their mothers

¨  Caused by over-bearing, controlling mothers

THE MAJOR EVENT IS FEEDING The infant will develop a sense of trust only if the parent or caregiver is responsive and consistent with the basic needs being met. The need for care and food must be met with comforting regularity. The infant must first form a trusting relationship with the parent or caregiver; otherwise a sense of mistrust will develop.

Trust vs. Mistrust

STAGE 1: (Birth - 18 months)

Page 12: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

THE MAJOR EVENT IS TOILET TRAINING (AND FEEDING AND DRESSING THEMSELVES) Toilet training as well as feeding and dressing themselves is how the toddler strives for autonomy. It is essential for parents not to be overprotective at this stage. A parent's level of protectiveness will influence the child's ability to achieve autonomy. If a parent is not reinforcing, the child will feel shameful and will learn to doubt his or her abilities.

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt

STAGE 2: (18 months – 3 years)

Page 13: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

THE MAJOR EVENT AT THIS STAGE IS INDEPENDENCE. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnupwmidy4w) The child continues to be assertive and to take the initiative. Children in this stage are eager for responsibility. It is essential for adults to confirm that the child's initiative is accepted no matter how small it may be. If the child is not given a chance to be responsible and do things on their own, a sense of guilt may develop. The child will come to believe that what they want to do is always wrong.

Initiative vs. Guilt

STAGE 3: (3 – 6 years)

Page 14: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

THE MAJOR EVENT AT THIS STAGE IS ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL As a student, the children have a need to be productive and do work on their own. They are both physically and mentally ready for it. Interaction with peers at school also plays an imperative role of child development in this stage. The child for the first time has a wide variety of events to deal with, including academics, group activities, and friends. Difficulty with any of these leads to a sense of inferiority.

Competence (Industry) vs. Inferiority

STAGE 4: (6- 12 years)

Page 15: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

THE MAJOR EVENT AT THIS STAGE IS ESTABLISHING PEER RELATIONSHIPS At this stage, adolescents are in search of an identity that will lead them to adulthood. Adolescents make a strong effort to answer the question "Who am I?" Erikson notes the healthy resolution of earlier conflicts can now serve as a foundation for the search for an identity. If the child overcomes earlier conflicts they are prepared to search for identity. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sr8j_p1o0os&feature=related)

Identity vs. Role Confusion

STAGE 5: (12 – 18 years)

Page 16: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

IN THIS STAGE, THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS ARE LOVE RELATIONSHIPS. Intimacy refers to one's ability to relate to another human being on a deep, personal level. An individual who has not developed a sense of identity usually will fear a committed relationship and may retreat into isolation.

Intimacy vs. Isolation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnSHJmk0muI&NR=1&feature=fvwp)

STAGE 6: (19 – 40 years)

Page 17: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

IN THIS STAGE, THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IS PARENTING. In this stage generativity refers to the adult's ability to care for another person. Generativity has a broader meaning then just having children. Each adult must have some way to satisfy and support the next generation.

Generativity vs. Stagnation

STAGE 7: (40 – 65 years)

Page 18: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

IN THIS STAGE, THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IS ACCEPTANCE OF ONE’S LIFE. According to Erikson, achieving a sense of integrity means fully accepting oneself and coming to terms with the death. Accepting responsibility for your life and being able to undo the past and achieve satisfaction with self is essential. The inability to do this results in a feeling of despair.

Ego Integrity vs. Despair

STAGE 8: (65 years - death)

Failure to resolve a developmental challenge results in conflict

throughout adulthood.

Heinz was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that could save her that was discovered by a druggist in town. The druggist was the only person who had the drug. It cost him $200 to make the drug, but he charged the customers $2,000. Heinz only had $1,000, and he tried to borrow the other $1,000. Nobody would loan him the money. Heinz told the druggist his dilemma and asked if he could pay him the other $1,000 later. The druggist refused his offer. That night, Heinz broke into the store and stole the drug for his wife. Did Heinz do the right thing? Why

Carol GILLIGAN ¨  Constructed a theory of Moral Development that

contradicted Kohlberg’s previous work ¨  She argued that he only studied privileged, white

men and boys. She felt that this caused a biased opinion against women.

¨  Gilligan argued women are not morally inferior

or less developed, they are just different. Women make decisions based on an ethic of care (compassion).

HOW DO WE STUDY DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY?

Page 29: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

Longitudinal studies

¨  We can study a sample for a long, long time (like 30 years).

¨  They are expensive and time consuming. ¨  They are good at observing change over time

in individuals. ¨  Example, follow a group of 200 people for 30

years and give them a survey every 7 years to measure their developmental changes.

Page 30: DEVELOPMENT PSYCHOLOGY · Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Developmen ! Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the range between the level at which a child can solve a problem working

Cross-sectional studies

¨  Much cheaper and less time-consuming than longitudinal studies.

¨  They study different “sections” or cohorts or groups of people at the same time.

¨  Example: survey a group of teenagers, 20-year-olds, 40 – year olds and 60-year olds and compare the results.
