Document Summary
Social environment plays a huge role in our development. We observe and follow models, and learn from friends, family, teachers, etc. The social brain theory attempts to explain the evolution of intelligence; individuals with greatest cognitive ability will outsmart their competitors. First way we learn appropriate/inappropriate behaviour is through parenting (rules and how they"re enforced) Inductive discipline: guiding behaviour introducing appropriate limits and setting up reasonable consequences while also explaining why (promotes prosocial behaviour) Diana baumrind classified parents into four parenting styles depending on demandingness (expectations) and responsiveness (support and meeting needs) Authoritative: unlikely to use physical discipline, lays out rules with explanations, listens to arguments, allows some freedom (high demand, high response) Authoritarian: disciplines with threats and punishments, physical discipline, expects and praises complete obedience (high demand, low response) Permissive/indulgent: believe children learn best on their own, grant a great amount of freedom (low demand, high response)
