Becoming Yourself - It begins in Childhood | Psych-100 | Chapter 39 | Flourish with Diane Planidin
“How have I become the kind of person I am today?” Every adult ponders this question from time to time. The answers that readily come to mind include the influences of parents, peers, temperament, a moral compass, a strong sense of self, and sometimes critical life experiences such as parental divorce. Social and personality development encompasses these and many other influences on the growth of the person. In addition, it addresses questions that are at the heart of understanding how we develop as unique people. How much are we products of nature or nurture? How enduring are the influences of early experiences? The study of social and personality development offers perspective on these and other issues, often by showing how complex and multifaceted are the influences on developing children, and thus the intricate processes that have made you the person you are today.
Childhood social and personality development emerges through the interaction of social influences, biological maturation, and the child’s representations of the social world and the self. This interaction is illustrated in a discussion of the influence of significant relationships, the development of social understanding, the growth of personality, and the development of social and emotional competence in childhood.
This Episode has the following objectives:
-Provide specific examples of how the interaction of social experience, biological maturation, and the child’s representations of experience and the self provide the basis for growth in social and personality development.
-Describe the significant contributions of parent–child and peer relationships to the development of social skills and personality in childhood. -Explain how achievements in social understanding occur in childhood. Moreover, do scientists believe that infants and young children are egocentric?
-Describe the association of temperament with personality development.
-Explain what is “social and emotional competence“ and provide some examples of how it develops in childhood.
Live an Inspired Life!
