Document Summary
Chapter 9 social and emotional development in early childhood. Identification: when we figure out our identity, we start to be able to understand everyone else, we are able to separate ourselves from others. Theory of autonomy (declare sense of free will) and shame and doubt (conforming to social roles and moral standards) Ex: boy copying truck driver, plays with toy truck; girl sees mom caring for baby, she plays with baby doll. Ex: boys are encouraged to behave more masculine; girls are encouraged to behave more feminine. Through time, children will grow affinities or indifferences to different objects. This is used to form gender relevant schemas: cultural view. Influence of culture on gender roles starts very early. Studies were done to compare preschool classrooms: gender neutral vs. Gender emphasized studies were done to see how gender emphasis shapes children"s identity: children in gender emphasized classrooms tended to segregate more than children in gender neutral classrooms.
