Document Summary
Chapter 8: social and personality development in early childhood: theories of social and personality development, psychoanalytic perspectives - optional reading: not on exams, social-cognitive perspectives, define the viewpoint held by social-cognitive theories. Social-cognitive theories assume that social and emotional changes in the child are the result of the enormous growth in cognitive abilities that happens during the preschool years: person perception. For example, a playmate they judge to be nice one day may be referred to as mean the next. This inconsistency is because preschoolers tend to base their peers on their most recent interaction. (c) define the cross-race effect and age when it is established. Cross-race effect a phenomenon in which individuals are more likely to remember the faces of people of their own race than those of people of a different race: understanding rule categories. Social conventions are rules that have nothing to do with our fundamental sense of right and wrong.
