Document Summary

Self regulation within socioeconomic contexts: paper by cybele rever asks 3 crucial questions: Understanding the roles of income, risk, and culture. Infants and young children in poverty are exposed to multiple ecological stressors: residential instability, higher levels of neighbourhood and family violence, greater psychological distress among adult caregivers. I would suggest that we allow the african children to devise their own. Afro-centric iq test to see how this western author would fare. If he did poorly on the afro-centric iq tests, would that mean he was. It is more likely, for example, that studies today will include contextual variable (ses, demographic variables, ethnicity) as important mediating variables: this means that context is not controlled for in the same way that it once was. Cbcl: the cbcl looks at two kinds of problems: the most deprived areas had the highest prevalence of problems in mental health. there were differences between the chp assessment and the cbcl self-report.

It is important to consider factors influencing physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development long before the baby arrives. In this discussion, you will examine the relative roles of genetics and the environment. Environmental effects on development include both macrocultural and microcultural influences. Macrocultural influences are the broader influences on a childâs development, such as mass media, religious denomination, societal rules, or educational norms. Microcultural influences are those on a small scale, such as family eating habits, traditions, hierarchical structures, and routines.

Based on the principles of behaviorism, John B. Watson argued, tongue-in-cheek, that he could take a healthy baby and make him into a lawyer, doctor, or thief. Sandra Scarr argued that often a childâs genetic predispositions override the influence of the environment. Based on what you have learned so far about development, select a well-known movie that addresses the nature-versus-nurture question. Some examples are: The Blind Side, Rudy, and A Beautiful Mind. With reference to the film, respond to the following:

How influential is the role of genetics in the childâs development?

What about the role of the environment, temperament, and teratogenics, among others?

Teratogen: Any agent that can disturb the development of an embryo or fetus. Teratogens may cause a birth defect in the child. Or a teratogen may halt the pregnancy outright. The classes of teratogens include radiation, maternal infections, chemicals, and drugs.

Do you agree with Watson, Scarr, both, or neither?

Support your arguments with research, citing sources.

Write your initial response in 3â4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
