Neglect Abuse Temperament Separation from the family Chronic stress Cultural expectations Daycare does not affect attachment !!!!

10 Strange Situation! Secure Attachment –
Mother Present: Child explores and interacts with stranger. Mother Leaves: Child visibly upset; does not interact with stranger. Mother Returns: Child happy to see Mom. Insecure Attachment – Mother Present: Child is anxious of exploration and of strangers. Mother Leaves: Sometimes upset but sometimes ambivalent. Anxious of stranger. Mother Returns: Child may be ambivalent or angry (hitting or pushing Mother). Often shows little emotion when mother leaves or returns. Mother and stranger often treated the same.

11 Secure attachment comes from Mother who is available and able to meet the needs of the child in a responsive and appropriate manner Insecure attachment comes from Mother who ignores child’s needs (until Mother is ready to give it completed. Attention given when Mother wants to give it not when the child asks for it. Also occurs when the child's needs are frequently not met and the child comes to believe that communication of needs has no influence on the caregiver.

19 Language

20 Language From cooing to communication “MOTHERESE”
Babies respond to pitch , intensity, and sound of language People talk to babies w/ varied pitch and intonation CLICK PHOTO TO HEAR “MOTHERESE”

21 Language By 4-6 months, babies have learned basic language sounds of their language, and over time lose ability to perceive speech sounds in another language Between 6 months to 1 year, babies enter the babbling phase; infants become more familiar with the sound structure of their native language

22 Around 11 months, babies begin a “one-word” stage
(Juice!) Between 18 months and 2 years, 2 and 3 word combinations are produced; Combinations “telegraph” meaning (Want Juice!)

23 Is Language due to Nurture?
BF Skinner – Operant Conditioning Children learn to speak because they are rewarded for making certain sounds

24 – Is Language Nurture? Noam Chomsky
Chomsky argued the brain must contain a language acquisition device that enables children to develop a language if they are exposed to it.

25 Language (Chomsky –Innate?)
Children all over the world go through similar stages of linguistics development Children combine words in ways that adults never would, so they could not be simply imitating adults

26 Moral Development

27 Heinz Dilemma After listening to Heinz’s story, write down what you think he should have done and WHY

28 The 3 Levels of Moral Development
Lawrence Kohlberg The 3 Levels of Moral Development Moral level is determined by answers people give to hypothetical moral dilemmas

29 Level One – Preconventional morality (self interest up to 10)
This level is characterized by the desire to avoid punishment or gain reward Stage 1 – fear punishment for disobedience Stage 2 – fairness/what’s in it for me?

30 Possible answers Heinz shouldn’t steal the drug because he might go to jail He should steal the drug or his wife will yell at him It is right for Heinz to steal the drug because it can cure his wife and then she can cook for him. The doctor scientist had spent lots of money and many years of his life to develop the cure so it's not fair to him if Heinz stole the drug.

31 Level 2 – Conventional morality (10 through Adult)
This Level is characterized by the Primary concern of fitting in and playing the role of a good citizen People have a strong desire to follow the rules and laws. Typical of most adults Stage 3 – based on conformity and loyalty Stage 4 – a “law-and-order” orientation

32 Possible Answers Yes, Heinz should steal the drug. He probably will go to jail for a short time for stealing but everyone will think he is a good husband. As her husband, Heinz has a duty to save his wife's life so he should steal the drug. But it's wrong to steal, so Heinz should be prepared to accept the penalty for breaking the law.

33 Most adults do not reach this level.
Level 3 – Postconventional (“principled”) morality (Adolescence- through Adulthood) This level characterized by an appreciation of Universal ethical principles that represent the rights or obligations of all people Most adults do not reach this level. Stage 5 – values and laws are relative and change; recognition that people hold differing standards Stage 6 – standard based on universal human rights

34 Possible answers Heinz should steal the drug because everyone has the right to life regardless of the law against stealing. Should Heinz be caught and prosecuted for stealing then the law (against stealing) needs to be reinterpreted because a person's life is at stake. The doctor scientist's decision is despicable but his right to fair compensation (for his discovery) must be maintained. Therefore, Heinz should not steal the drug. Heinz should steal the drug to save his wife because preserving human life is a higher moral obligation than preserving property.

35 Limitations to theory Stage theory tends to over look cultural and educational influences on reasoning People’s moral reasoning is often inconsistent across situations (your morality changes all the time…) Moral reasoning and behavior are often unrelated

36 Lets try another one…

37 What is Adolescence?

38 Adolescence The period between childhood and adulthood
From puberty (the start of sexual maturation) to independence from parents

39 Physical Development in Adolescence

40 Puberty The period of sexual maturation where the person becomes capable of reproducing Starts at approximately age 11 in females and age 13 in males Major growth spurt

41 Physical Development

42 Primary Sex Characteristics
The body structures that make sexual reproduction possible Ovaries in females Testes in males

43 Secondary Sex Characteristics
Non-reproductive sexual characteristics Breasts and hips in females Facial hair and voice changes in males

44 Sexual Characteristics

45 Social Development in Adolescence

46 8-stage theory of social development
Erik Erikson 8-stage theory of social development Each stage has its own psychosocial, developmental task: a “crisis”.

47 Trust v. mistrust Infancy to 1 year
If needs met, develop a sense of basic trust, otherwise will develop mistrust

57 Intimacy A close, sharing, emotional, and honest relationship with other people (primary task of early adulthood) Not necessarily one’s spouse or a sexual relationship

58 Adulthood How easily one passes between stages depends on cultural and economic factors Erickson showed that development is an ongoing process that is never finished

59 Are Adults Prisoners of Childhood?
Traumatized children are more likely to have emotional and behavioral problems
