Life Span Developmental Theory
➔ mutual influence - preconceived notions parents have about their newborns
based on sex. For females, people view them as cute, soft, and small. But for
boys, people view them as big and strong.
➔ environment changes genetics/biological traits - When you are obese from the
food you eat in your environment, you have a higher risk of diabetes and a higher
risk of heart problems so that could lead to a shorter life.
Factors that shape the trajectory of development over the entire life course
1. Individual Contributions - If you’ve been short all your life or during certain times
in your life, you could experience life differently as a tall person would.
2. Environmental Contributions - If the social norm in your environment is to get a
nose job, then you’ll probably get a nose job.
3. Time - If one of your parents have died in your childhood, you could experience
life differently than you would if your parents were alive during your childhood.
➔ meta-cognition - If you are 16 and you have an abortion, you think “Thank God”,
but as the years go by and you’re 35 and can’t have a baby, you regret what you
thought when you were 16.

(macro system)
➔ individualism - parents should provide food, a home, etc for their kids with their
own money
➔ collectivism - your government should provide you with universal health care
(exo-system)
➔ family policies - women aren’t allowed to divorce in your particular religion, so
your views of relationships and your quality of life is different than if women were
allowed to divorce in your particular religion
(micro-system)
➔ You have a bad math teacher when you first learning about fractions, so the rest
of your life you hate having to do fractions in math.
(meso-system)
➔ The federal government has the power to change school policy in the school you
attend. This can influence your life and your experience at school.
Time
(influences cohorts)
➔ normative history-graded event - When your state is in a drought so you learn to
save water in your everyday life that people in other states that don’t have
drought don’t notice.
➔ normative socio-cultural graded events - African Americans before the Civil
Rights movement experienced different oppressions and prejudices in their
everyday lives than African Americans after the Civil Rights movement.

(Personal history events)
➔ normative events - Your dog dies
➔ non-normative events - When 9/11 happens you have a different view of
terrorists.
First-order tasks
(identity tasks)
➔ critical personal images - smart one, funny one, pretty one
➔ enmeshed - parents confront bully themselves
➔ disengaged - parents tell you to figure out how to solve bullying problem yourself
(maintenance tasks)
➔ When you have to clean the house, your family has a set day to do the laundry
and clean certain rooms in the house (over-organized). Or, you do the laundry
and clean certain rooms when they’re needed to be cleaned and not on a certain
day of the week (organized).
(managing the emotional climates)
➔ meta-messages - You think someone is interest in you because of their body
language when they act towards you but they’re actually not (framing).
➔ triangulation - When your mom is angry at your dad and she vents to you what’s
happening so you take your mom’s side and your dad does the same with your
brother. This can lead to conflict.
