physical self

refers to the body, both the physical extremities and internal organs work together for the body to perform many of its functions such as breathing, walking, and eating, and sleeping, among others

physical self

is the tangible aspect of ourselves that can easily be observed and examined.

physical self

The body’s ability to perform its functions gradually changed throughout the lifespan.

PRENATAL

This is the first developmental period in the life span, though the period is considered short, it is in many respects one of the most important periods in human development. It begins at conception when the nucleus of the sperm and egg cell unites to form a zygote

INFANCY

This is from birth to 2 weeks of life. It is a time of rapid physical, perceptual, cognitive, logical, social, and emotional growth. Human babies are born with good motor coordination and even the sensory system is already functional. They are completely helpless and totally dependent to their caregiver.

BABYHOOD

This stage starts from 2 weeks of life to 2nd year and is the true foundation of development which there is a rapid growth and change.

EARLY CHILDHOOD

Ages 2 through 6 are the early childhood years, or preschool years. Like infants and toddlers, preschoolers grow quickly - both physically and cognitively.

LATE CHILDHOOD

is generally defined as ages 9 to 12 years old. Up until this point, most children have been growing at family predictable rates. Now, all bets are off due the often wild fluctuations in physical development. There is no single growth phase that is similar to all.

the germinal, embryonic and the fetal stage.

The pregnancy is divided into 3 parts of development;

PRENATAL

Technically, the stage of development before birth is initiated and guided by both genetic and environmental factors.

object permanence

in which it is the ability of the baby to perceive things to continue to exist even though they are not directly sensed.

LATE CHILDHOOD

The first signs of puberty typically being to appear in this period. The term puberty is used to define the approximately 5-year period of biological maturation where a boy or girl become able to reproduce or this is the age of achieving full sexual maturity.

girls

puberty can begin between the age of 8 and 13,

boys

puberty begins at 10 years old

PUBERTY

is made up of a clear sequence of stages, affecting different bodily systems such as skeletal, muscular and reproductive.

ADOLESCENCE

young people go through many changes as they move into physical maturity. Early prepubescent changes occur when the secondary sexual characteristics appear.

INFANCY

their sensory development is mature and well integrated even before birth. As for the motor, different kinds of reflexes that need for survival are already manifested to them such as sucking, rooting, moro, walking and babinski reflexes

BABYHOOD

The baby will start to become more independent and will increase individuality as they start to form social relationship and the beginning of sex- role typing.

BABYHOOD

It is also the age in which they will start to develop their creativity. They will now start to explore their environment and become highly energetic particularly during play.

EARLY CHILDHOOD

Children begin to lose their baby fat, or chubbiness, around age 3 since it is the time that they engage in different physical activities through play.

EARLY CHILDHOOD

Even at this early stage of life, boys tend to have more muscle mass than girls. The preschoolers’ physical proportions also continue to change, with their heads still being disproportionately large, but less so than in toddlerhood.

PUBERTY

Most children have a slimmer appearance during middle childhood than they did during the preschool years. As a child’s entire body size increases, the amount of body fat stays relatively stable, giving her a thinner look.

PUBERTY

Likewise, during this stage of development, a child’s legs are longer in proportion to the body than they were before.

PUBERTY

including how close the child is to puberty, will determine when and how much a child grows. In general, this may be accompanied with the appearance of a small amount of pubic hair, armpit hair, mild acne, and/or body odor.

EARLY ADULTHOOD

Around the age of 30, many changes begin to manifest in different parts of the body.

myopia or nearsightedness.

the lens of the eye starts to stiffen and thicken, resulting in changes in vision that usually affecting the ability to focus on close objects also known as

EARLY ADULTHOOD

our physical maturations is complete, although our height and weight may increase slightly. In this period, our physical abilities are at their peak, including muscle strength, reaction time, sensory abilities, and cardiac functioning.

LATE ADULTHOOD

is the stage of life from the 60s onward; it constitutes the last stage of physical change.

NATURE

is what we think of as pre-wiring and is influenced by genetic inheritance and other biological factors.

NURTURE

is generally taken as the influence of external factors after conception, e.g., the product of exposure, experience and learning on an individual.

LATE ADULTHOOD

the skin continues to lose elasticity, reaction time slows further, and muscle strength diminishes.

LATE ADULTHOOD

that result in vision loss, are frequent. The other senses, such as taste, touch, and smell, are also less sensitive than they were in earlier years.

LATE ADULTHOOD

The immune system is weakened, and many older people are more susceptible to illness, cancer, diabetes, and other ailments.

LATE ADULTHOOD

Cardiovascular and respiratory problems become more common in old age.

LATE ADULTHOOD

Seniors also experience a decrease in physical mobility and a loss of balance, which can result in falls and injuries

nativists

Those who adopt an extreme hereditary position are known

nativists

Their basic assumption is that the characteristics of the human species as a whole are a product of evolution and that individual differences are due to each person’s unique genetic code. In general, the earlier a particular ability appears, the more likely it is to be under the influence of genetic factors

PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS

is the perception of the physical traits of an individual human person as aesthetically pleasing or beautiful.

(Palean, et. al, 2018)

abide by the mantra, “Beauty is Power”, no matter how destructive it might be for us

BODY IMAGE

refers to the mental image we form of our own bodies that includes how we feel about our bodies as well as how satisfied or dissatisfied we are with our bodies.

MATCHING PHENOMENON

The tendency for men and women to choose as partners to those who are a “good match” in terms of physical attractiveness, intelligence and other traits.

PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS STEREOTYPE

It refers to the presumption that physically attractive people possess other socially desirable traits as well.

SIMILARITY

People similar in background are more similar in their attitudes. Likeness begets liking. The most appealing people are those most like us.

COMPLEMENTARITY

is the popularly supposed tendency, in a relationship between to people, for each to complete what is missing in the other.
