Strengths of Erikson's theory

• Comprehensive framework of development throughout the entire lifespan • Emphasis on social influences • Emphasis on the search for identity in adolescence has had lasting impacts on research on identity development in adolescence

51
New cards

Weaknesses of Erikson's theory

• many elements of the theory are vague • Limited empirical support • May not generalize to non-Western contexts

52

4 groups of identity status; identity development relates to where an adolescent falls on dimensions of identity exploration and commitment

New cards

Learning theories

classical conditioning, operant conditioning, social learning theory

58
New cards

Learning theories

  1. Focus on external factors in shaping social behaviour 2. Emphasize continuity (vs. discontinuity) 3. Focus on the role of specific mechanisms of change (ex. Reinforcement, observational learning)

59
New cards

John B. Watson

founder of behaviourism

60
New cards

Behaviourism

development is determined by the child's environment via learning through classical conditioning and operant conditioning

61
New cards

Little Albert

9 month old baby exposed to white rat which was conditioned to become scary

62
New cards

B.F. Skinner

believed behaviour is shaped and controlled by environmental factors and believed the world acts upon a person

63
New cards

Reinforcement

we repeat behaviours that lead to favourable outcomes

64
New cards

Punishment

we suppress behaviours that result in unfavourable outcomes

65
New cards

Attention

can serve as a powerful reinforcer; children often do things just to get attention

66
New cards

Time out (temporary isolation)

systematically withdrawing attention and reinforcement for inappropriate behaviour

67
New cards

Intermittent reinforcement

makes behaviours resistant to extinction

68
New cards

Behaviour modification therapy

treatment approach based on principles of behaviourism; using reinforcement and punishment to increase desirable behaviours and decrease unwanted ones

69
New cards

Social-learning theory

attempts to account for social development through learning processes and mechanisms, emphasizing observation and imitation

70
New cards

Albert Bandura

most human learning is inherently "social" in nature and is based on observation of other people

71
New cards

Watching, imitating, indirect models

ways children can learn

72
New cards

Vicarious reinforcement

observing someone else receive a reward or punishment

73
New cards

Cognitive aspects of observational learning

  1. Attention to others' behaviour 2. Encoding what is observed 3. Storing the information in memory 4. Retrieving information later to reproduce the behaviour observed earlier

74
New cards

Reciprocal determinism

child-environment influences operate in both directions

75
New cards

Strengths of learning theories

• There is extensive research on parental socialization behaviours and how children learn social behaviours • Important practical applications

76
New cards

Weaknesses of learning theories

main focus is on behaviour so less attention is given to biological, perceptual, motor, cognitive, and language development

77
New cards

Theories of social cognition

stage theory of role taking, social information processing theory, mindset theory

78
New cards

Active processors of social information

encode, retrieve and store social information

79
New cards

Self-socialization

active process whereby children actively shape their own development through their activity preferences, friendship choices, etc.

80
New cards

Robert Selman

stage theory of role taking

81
New cards

Role taking

the ability to think about something from another's point of view; the ability to understand others' perspectives progresses through five stages (early childhood to adolescence)

82
New cards

Undifferentiated role-taking

children fail to distinguish perspectives

83
New cards

Social-informational role-taking

children recognize that others have different information available to them and thus different perspectives

84
New cards

Self-reflective role-taking

children realize that someone else can have a different view and are also able to think about the other person's point of view

85
New cards

Third party role-taking

children can take the view of a detached third-person and view a situation from that perspective

86
New cards

Societal role-taking

considers others' perspectives with reference to a broader social context, considering societal values and norms

87
New cards

Prior to age 6

undifferentiated role-taking

88
New cards

Ages 6-8

social-informational role-taking

89
New cards

Ages 8-10

90
New cards

Ages 10-12

third party role-taking

91
New cards

Ages 12+

societal role-taking

92
New cards

Dodge

social information processing theory

93
New cards

Information processing theory

focused on aggression; children with disruptive behaviour problems perceive, interpret, and make decisions about social information in ways that increase their likelihood of engaging in aggressive acts

94
New cards

Mistakes in social information processing during aggression: 1. Hostile attributional bias 2. Generation of fewer responses 3. More favourable evaluation of aggressive responses

95
New cards

Dweck

Mindset theory

96
New cards

Mindset theory

focuses on children's different reactions to failure

97
New cards

Achievement motivation

whether children are motivated by mastery or others' views of their success

98
New cards

Learning goals

mastery

99
New cards

Performance goals

others' views of own success

100
New cards

Incremental theory of intelligence

belief that intelligence can be developed through effort; motivated by desire for mastery and evaluates effort and learning (growth mindset)
