Birth Cohort or Generational Effects Different generations can have unique experiences Your generation grew up with computers 100 years ago people didn’t have radio Your grand parents and/or great-grandparents may have lived through World War Two or the 1930s Great Depression When (and where) you were born could affect nutrition, sleeping arrangements, or your age at marriage In cross-sectional studies or “one-shot”, cohort and aging effects may become entangled © 2009 Allyn & Bacon Publishers

GRAND THEORIES IN PSYCHOLOGY HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Psychoanalytic Theory Sigmund Freud: Psychosexual Stages -- early childhood experiences -- subconscious memories -- struggle between parts of the personality: id – pleasure-seeking ego – reality-oriented superego -- morality-based
Psychoanalytic Theory Erik Erikson: Psychosocial Stages -- social influences -- crises 8 stages : infancy through old age
Learning Theory (Behaviorism) Ivan Pavlov Classical Conditioning -- learning by association stimulus leads to response
Learning Theory (Behaviorism) IVAN PAVLOV -- LEARNING BY ASSOCIATION STIMULUS LEADS TO RESPONSE B. F. Skinner Operant Conditioning -- learning by consequence response to get a stimulus
Learning Theory (Behaviorism) IVAN PAVLOV -- LEARNING BY ASSOCIATION STIMULUS LEADS TO RESPONSE B. F. SKINNER -- LEARNING BY CONSEQUENCE RESPONSE TO GET A STIMULUS Albert Bandura -- Social Learning Learning by imitation (modeling) observe stimulus response respond to get same stimulus
Cognitive Psychology Jean Piaget cognitive development begins at birth Proceeds in orderly stages
Cognitive Psychology Noam Chomsky language development JEAN PIAGET COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT BEGINS AT BIRTH PROCEEDS IN ORDERLY STAGES Noam Chomsky language development Based Piagetian theory
Cognitive Psychology JEAN PIAGET COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT BEGINS AT BIRTH PROCEEDS IN ORDERLY STAGES NOAM CHOMSKY LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON PIAGETIAN THEORY Lawrence Kohlberg moral development based on Piaget's concepts
Deterministic Theories Psychoanalytic theory, cognitive theory and behaviorism are all somewhat deterministic theories Something outside the individual’s control determines the course of development Early childhood experience Stimuli in the environment Individuals with whom one interacts, etc.
Humanistic Psychology The third wave – response to deterministic ideas Abraham Maslow hierarchy of needs Striving for self-actualization peak experiences
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Humanistic Psychology ABRAHAM MASLOW HIERARCHY OF NEEDS STRIVING FOR SELF-ACTUALIZATION PEAK EXPERIENCES Carl Rogers (development of self-concept) unconditional positive regard
Humanistic Psychology ABRAHAM MASLOW HIERARCHY OF NEEDS STRIVING FOR SELF-ACTUALIZATION PEAK EXPERIENCES CARL ROGERS UNCONDITIONAL POSITIVE REGARD Free will, ability to change, positive attitude
