Behavioral Characteristics Associated with the Popular Status and the Rejected Status and How Psychologists have Looked at the Behavior/Status Relationship

Adopted by peer relations researchers Index of likeability Cooperation Sociability Kindness Leadership Adopted by sociologists (and children themselves!) Visibility, prestige, influence Prosocial characteristics Dominance Aggression Aggression sets them apart

(sets many rules and closely monitors but offers little support) Style: restrictive, controlling, demanding Punishment: frequent spanking, shows anger Communication: little verbal exchange/sayings such as "you'll do it my way or else" Unreasonable in their demands and utilize harsh punishments for wrong doings that could be corrected through examples of positive reinforcement Enforces rules but doesn't explain them NO inductive reasoning Result: children are often anxious, unhappy, fearful. They do not initiate activities with others and have weak communication skills, not leader-type

Authoritarian

Highly supportive, closely monitors and sets rules Style: encouraging, warm, nurturing, constructive Punishment: explains consequences and reasoning behind, uses induction** Communication: give and take, positive feedback, praise, open-ended Results: authoritative parents use equality to explain their demands and the reasons behind them, Get "on their level" to speak to their children about following rules, They use positive reinforcement and praise often Children are more willing to go to them for help and comforting, they feel a better sense of trust and belonging, they are cooperative and understanding why we need rules and consequences.

Know the role of cognitive factors in gender role development

Children select playmates that are consistent with their own gender label. They prefer playmates who they perceive as similar to themselves. Lacks Evidence: children's cognitive understanding of gender does not seem to be related to their preferences for either gender-typed toys or same-gender playmates. Children begin to select gender-typed toys well before they are able to label gender consistently. Females begin to show preferences for dolls, soft animals, and dishes, and boys begin to show preferences for transportation toys, tools, and robots, as early as 12 months of age Children's knowledge about gender is also not a critical factor in their selection of same-gender playmates.

Know the research on parental monitoring

Crouter et al., (1999) → examined the correlates of mothers' and fathers' knowledge about the daily experiences of their firstborn and second born. How is parental monitoring defined? what outcomes are associated with low parental monitoring in the middle school-aged years? one way in which parents acquire this information is to monitor their child's daily experiences most research on the process of parental monitoring has conceptualized it as a dimension of parenting behaviour akin to supervision and control but with the added connotation of tracking the children's behaviour from a distance low levels of parental monitoring have been linked to low school achievement, diminished feelings of scholastic competence, high levels of conduct problems, and initiation of drug use, particularly in boys. What are the goals of the study? how parents' involvement in paid work outside their home relate to their knowledge vis a vis their school aged sons and daughters. are children's' sex and birth order linked to between and within family differences in mother's and father's knowledge? how is parental knowledge related to childrens' and parents' personal qualities In what ways do the researchers attempt to improve upon earlier research? designed a study that encompassed some of the complexity of family life that is often overlooked in developmental studies of families. traditionally, developmental research on socialization in the family has focused on a single target child in a family and relied heavily on information provided by mothers This time, paid equal attention to 2 school-age children in each family. compared mothers' and fathers' knowledge of their childrens' daily experiences What do the researchers mean by "within family" and "between family"? within family → conditions which parents are differentially knowledgeable about their 2 offspring between family→ conditions under which parents are knowledgeable about the ongoing events that characterize their children's' lives, different families. What were some of the complex interactions that were found in the study ? Parental work hours When wives work fewer hours, they may be equally knowledgeable about sociable and less sociable children because they are available exert extra effort to draw out less forthcoming children. Mothers who work longer hours, in contrast, may know more about sociable children than less sociable children because sociable children may volunteer more information Interactions between contextual and personal characteristics in terms of their implications for parental knowledge. the researchers speculate that parenting is more "scripted" for mothers than fathers the role of mothers is more clearly delineated knowing about the children's daily lives is clearly the job of mothers the data showed that fathers' knowledge about children is more influenced by their child's characteristics than mothers this is consistent with the idea that parenting is more "scripted" for mothers than for fathers. given the optional nature of father's parental involvement, fathers appear to "tune in" to their children's daily activities and experiences when their children's personal qualities predispose them to do so. How did the researcher's assess parental knowledge? weekday parental knowledge items/questionnaire Which factors were the most important in predicting parental knowledge? mother's work involvement mother's work involvement did not affect mothers' knowledge about their children but fathers knew more about their children's activities, whereabouts and companions when their wives worked longer hours sibship composition (ie sex and birth order) parents knew more about their younger than older offspring both parents knew more about their offspring of the same sex than the opposite sex, leading to greater within family differences in families with mixed-sex siblings children's' personal qualities (eg temperament) parents' personal qualities (eg gender role attitudes, education) Results 1st borns' ages were not related to knowledge for mothers and fathers parents' knowledge of 2nd borns daily activities, whereabouts and companions, declined with age of mothers and fathers the data suggest that the birth order findings probably reflect developmental level the lack of age-related findings for 1st borns probably due to restricted range of large. What do they mean by "shared" and "non shared" environment? refers to the difference in experience of children growing up in the same family.

is characterized in Ainsworth's "strange situation" task as a child who exhibits behavioral disorganization or disorientation in the form of wandering, confused expressions, freezing, undirected movements, or contradictory (i.e. "unorganized") patterns of interaction with a caregiver ...

Disorganized/Disoriented

what are the self-conscious emotions and when do they occur?

Embarrassment, Empathy, Envy- 18- 24 Months:

The Process of initiating, inhibiting, or modulating internal feeling states and related physiological processes, cognitions, and behaviors

Emotional self-regulation

describes a psychological condition in children in which they experience marked incongruence between their experienced gender and the gender associated with their biological sex. They often express the belief that they are the opposite sex. •The prevalence rates of GD among children has been estimated to be less than 1%. •Sex differences in rate of referrals to specialty clinics vary by age. -In pre-pubertal children, the ratio of boys to girls ranges from 2:1 to 4.5:1. -In adolescents, the sex ratio is close to parity -n adults, the ratio of males to females range from 1:1 to 6.1:1.2

Gender dysphoria

what are the self-conscious evaluative emotions?

In the third year of life, the child begins to incorporate the SRGs of his/her family and peers. This new capacity gives rise to a new set of emotions, one which I have called self-conscious evaluative emotions.7 They include a new form of embarrassment as well as guilt, shame, pride and hubris. Embarrassment now occurs as a less intense form of shame. The child experiences embarrassment when in the company of others it violates the SRG of the culture. At this point, the child's embarrassment can occur both as a function of being the object of another's attention in and of himself/herself, and also because of being the object of other's attention because of a failure of some SRG.

1. more dependent 2. more aggressive with peers 3. more withdrawn

Insecure children

study done by Lewis, Brooks-Gunn and Jaskir Participants 37 infants seen at 12, 18, & 24 months healthy middle class backgrounds Procedure Strange Situation Procedure at 12 months (classified as Secure and Insecure) Mirror recognition Procedure at 18 and 24 months Coded: Mark-directed behavior (touch nose) Image-directed behavior (mirror-directed behavior) Results General Developmental Trends Mark-directed behavior increases Mirror-directed behavior decreases Individual Differences what was the main takeaway from this study?

Insecurely attached infants exhibit earlier self-recognition than securely-attached infants Exhibit mark-directed behavior earlier Explanation of results 1. Insecure Attachment Predicts Development of Self OR Temperament Predicts Both Attachment Relationship and Development of Self

Uninhibited temperament (in new situations)

Low reactive and Not highly fearful - High threshold to fear

within the acquiring of emotional display rules -> two things happen first: first ____________ then __________ is developed. One emotion and displaying another (more sophisticated) girls are better at masking than boys reference to gift giving video

Masking/minimizing inhibition

direct physical force or overt threats

Overt aggression (boys)

Makes few rules and trusts rather than monitors, highly supportive, responsive but undemanding Style: highly involved with children but places few demands or control on them Punishment: allow children to do as they please Communication: parents believe their approach with foster a creative, confident child. Overindulge verbally and materialistically Results: these children will rarely learn respect for others and have difficulty controlling their behaviour. Might be domineering, egocentric and non-compliant. Create children who are demanding and selfish rather than loving and supportive. Children typically possess good self-esteem and excellent social skills but can be less motivated in school because they are not held accountable for their own behavior Children are often impulsive, aggressive and lack independence

Permissive-indulgent

(MIA parents) Sets few rules, does not monitor, and offers little active support Style: uninvolved à parents are focused on themselves and their careers. Punishment: few cases of punishment due to uninvolvement Communication: little communication which leads to the child's sense that other aspects of parent's life are much more important Results: children of neglectful parents are often socially incompetent, lack self-control, have low self-esteem, they are immature and not independent Defining features: Always puts their needs and wants as first priority, usual experience financial, emotional, social stress, unable to encourage, teach or enable their children Children of neglectful parents are more likely than other children to experience loneliness, fear and anxiety

Permissive-neglectful

-Attachment to caregiver is evident -Begin to fuss when left with another person

According to attachment research, pioneered by Mary Ainsworth, children's attachment rela- tionships with caregivers can be classified as secure, insecure/avoidant, insecure/resistant, and disorganized/disoriented. Children in these categories display similarities across cultures, although the percentage of children in different attachment groups sometimes varies across cultures or subcultures. germany- babies who appear to be avoidant it's because they're socialized to be independent

Most of the research to date in the field of developmental psychology has adopted a view of gender as binary -Gender Binarism... this is the

caveat to the binary approach of gender development (((•"It is also important to recognize that not everyone is clearly biologically male or female. Approximately 17 of every 1,000 people are intersex and possess chromosomal and anatomical features of both males and females. And even those whose gender identities correspond to their birth-assigned gender vary in how compatible and contented they are with their gender group, how central their gender identity is relative to their other identities, and how they express their gender identification" (Burun, 2014 from Understanding the Changing Landscape of Gender Identity).)) •Gender Dysphoric (as early as 2-years-of-age)

Baumrind found four important dimensions of parenting

disciplinary strategies, warmth and nurturance, communication styles, expectations of maturity and control

article about parents knowing their children and birth order / gender for mothers who worked, parents overall had a better understanding of their children because the dad had to step in one interesting finding is that mothers who worked(or didn't) tended to know more about the older son if she had two sons, and usually parents know more about their younger child --- either way whether the mom worked or not, they made same amount of time for the child

effects of maternal employment and day care on attachment security

Self-conscious emotions first appear at about

eighteen to twenty-four months of age (1 1/2 - 2 yo) (when a child becomes aware that he or she is a separate individual. Toddlers indicate feelings of shame and embarrassment by lowering their eyes, hanging their heads, and hiding their faces with their hands.Mar 15, 2017)

INDUCTION: explain the reasoning behind the rules, the decision making process is a collaborative effort between parent and child that involves negotiation and understanding even though the final decision may still be made by the parent Ex. curfew: the reason why you have a curfew is because i want you to be safe

how induction is used as a means of discipline

Take home-message: Biological factors do play a role Social or environmental factors are probably more important overall sex differences in prenatal hormone levels produce sex differences in the organization of neural substrates of the brain high level of prenatal androgens masculinizes the brain so that it takes a weaker stimuli to evoke male sex-typed behaviors such as play with cars and trucks and a stronger stimulus to evoke female-typed behaviors such as play with dolls. A low level of androgens has the opposite effect. Exposure to non androgenic progesterone has a feminizing effect. prenatal sex hormones may play some part in the development of sex differences in specific cognitive abilities. Although there is a lot of overlap between the sexes, males tend to perform better than females on visuospatial tasks, whereas females to better than males on tasks of verbal fluency Males also show greater language lateralization -- greater reliance on the dominant hemisphere of the brain for processing verbal material. Differential treatment of boys and girls Begins early Engage in more face-to-face and vocal interactions with daughters than sons (Ross Parke) Encourage sex-typed play and activities Boys discouraged from feminine activities Girls discouraged from masculine activities Fathers and mothers respond differently Potential reasons for differential treatment Temperamental differences Male infants more active and irritable Female infants quieter and sustain awake and alert state earlier Parental stereotypes and expectations Females more vocal and interested in communication

that two key measures provide insight into the quality of the infant's attachment to the caregiver: (1) the extent to which an infant is able to use his or her primary caregiver as a secure base, and (2) how the infant reacts to brief separations from, and reunions with, the caregiver Ainsworth designed a laboratory test for assessing the security of an infant's attachment to his or her parent. called the Strange Situation because it is conducted in a context that is unfamiliar to the child and likely to heighten the child's need for his or her parent. In this test, the infant, accompanied by the parent, is placed in a laboratory playroom equipped with interesting toys. After the experimenter introduces the parent and child to the room, the child is exposed to seven episodes: Episode 1: Brought to room Episode 2: Baby explores with mother Episode 3: Stranger enters Episode 4: First Separation Episode Episode 5: First Reunion Episode Episode 6: Second Separation Episode Episode 7: Stranger and baby Episode 8: Second Reunion Episode Discerned three distinct patterns in infants' behavior that seemed to indicate the quality or security of their attachment bond. Secure Insecure resistant insecure Avoidant The first attachment category—the one into which the majority of infants fall—is secure attachment. Babies in this category use their mother as a secure base during the initial part of the session, leaving her side to explore the many toys available in the room. As they play with the toys, these infants occasionally look back to check on their mother or bring a toy over to show her. They are usually, but by no means always, distressed to some degree when their mother leaves the room, especially when they are left totally alone. However, when their mother returns, they make it clear that they are glad to see her, either by simply greeting her with a happy smile or, if they have been upset during her absence, by going to her to be picked up and comforted. If they have been upset, their mother's presence comforts and calms them, often enabling them to explore the room again. About 62% of typical middle-class children in the United States whose mother is not clinically disturbed fall into this category; for infants from lower socioeconomic groups, the rate is significantly lower—slightly less than 50% for children under 24 months of age. One type of insecurely attached infant is classified as insecure/resistant, or ambivalent. Infants in this category are often clingy from the beginning of the Strange Situation, staying close to the mother instead of exploring the toys. When their mother leaves the room, they tend to get very upset, often crying intensely. In the reunion, the insecure/resistant infant typically re-establishes contact with the mother, only to then rebuff her efforts at offering comfort. The other type of insecurely attached infant is classified as insecure/avoidant. Children in this category tend to avoid their mother in the Strange Situation.

children who are infrequently nominated as a best friend but are not disliked by their peers

neglected children

One way in which parents acquire this information is to "monitor" their children's daily experiences. -Most research on the process of this has conceptualized it as a dimension of parenting behavior akin to supervision and control but with the added connotation of tracking the child's behavior from a distance. -low levels of this have been linked to low school achievement, diminished feelings of scholastic competence, high levels of conduct problems, and initiation of drug use, particularly in boys

parenting styles may have different meanings and different effects in different cultures some features of parenting that are considered appropriate for traditional Chinese culture may be seen as more authoritarian rather than authoritative. authoritarian parenting may have different meanings in different cultures parental warmth, acceptance and harsh control have different meanings in acculturated and less acculturated families the relation of parenting to children's development must be considered in terms of the cultural context is occurs

video on spanking shows families giving different types of spanking threats and one family was bordering abuse because it was for willy nilly reasons - they thought they were doing it to show they were in control since speaking/telling them wasn't enough - wetting her training pants - "she knows better"

rejected-aggressive and rejected-withdrawn

(peer relations) females exhibit __________ aggression and victimization

relational

is described as any behavior that is intended to harm someone by damaging or manipulating relationships with others

relational aggression

will typically explore little (in the Strange Situation) and is often wary of strangers, even when the caregiver is present. When the caregiver departs, the child is often highly distressed. The child is generally ambivalent when they return

resistant-ambivalent children

A child with the this attachment style will avoid or ignore the caregiver - showing little emotion when the caregiver departs or returns. The child will not explore very much regardless of who is there. Infants classified as anxious-avoidant (A) represented a puzzle in the early 1970s. They did not exhibit distress on separation, and either ignored the caregiver on their return

resistant-avoidant

Attachment Classifications

secure, insecure, resistant-ambivalent, avoidant, disorganized/disoriented

the relationship between a child that is secured in attachment and getting older -> how it relates to each other as they grow up, the child will be... and if they are insecurely attached it's more negative outcomes ->

securely attached more sociable (more positive in relationships with friends less clinging and dependent on teachers less aggressive and disruptive more emotionally mature continues into adolescence more likely to be leaders have higher self-esteem affects their parenting) emotional detachment lack of trust relationship difficulties

children who use the caregiver as a secure base from which to explore the environment --- A toddler who is securely attached to its parent (or other familiar caregiver) will explore freely while the caregiver is present, typically engages with strangers, is often visibly upset when the caregiver departs, and is generally happy to see the caregiver return.

securely attached children

•More sociable •More positive in relationships with friends •Less clinging and dependent on teachers •Less aggressive and disruptive •More emotionally mature •Continues into adolescence -More likely to be leaders Have higher self-esteem •Increased sociability throughout early, middle, and late adulthood •Affects their parenting behaviors •Demonstrates that the attachment relationship can become the foundation for future social relationships
