Chapter 3 Developmental Psychology Section 1 Overview (1)
Unit 1 Research Objects of Developmental Psychology
Definition of developmental psychology: Developmental psychology is the science that studies the laws of psychological development. It is an important branch of psychology and a basic theoretical discipline.
The concept and nature of psychological development
The connotation of psychological development (broad developmental psychology)
Germline development of psychology: Psychological development during the evolution of the animal germline
The Racial Development of Psychology: The Historical Development of Human Psychology (Racial Comparison)
Individual psychological development: the psychology of an individual from birth to decline. This is the main research scope of developmental psychology [narrow sense]
nature of psychological development
Holistic → Mental processes include awareness → Develop together
Sociality → Sociality will be affected from birth. The sociality in the family is the mother
Mobility → Need to experience many things, activities, experiences, and perceptions
Regularity: (emphasis)
The unity of universality and particularity
Directional (from simple to complex, from low-level to high-level) and sequential (seven periods)
Imbalance. Two development acceleration periods
Infancy and early childhood are the first period of accelerated development
Adolescence (mainly refers to the period of puberty and development) is the second period of accelerated development
research content
Characteristics of each age stage in psychological development
Age characteristics: Age characteristics are qualitative stipulations at each stage of psychological development, that is, essential characteristics.
Psychological development is closely related to age, and there are three specific manifestations:
First, time is a dimension of psychological development, and psychological development occurs in time (age)
Second, psychological development roughly corresponds to age, but is not absolutely synchronized.
Third, there is no causal relationship between age and psychological development.
Age stage roots: Stage roots are defined by changes in psychological processes or characteristics. At different stages of development, different cognitive processes play a dominant role.
Basic theories of psychological development
The role of heredity and environment in psychological development is the driving force of psychological development and the essential issue of psychological development.
The relationship between the continuity and stages of psychological development is a question of the process of psychological development.
The relationship between the internal and external dynamics of psychological development is an important issue regarding the interaction between the subject's self-generated and self-developed psychological dynamics and the environment and education, which influence each other's self-organization development process.
The "critical period" issue is about whether there is a critical period in an individual's early psychological development and how to treat sensitive periods.
Unit 2 Research Methods in Developmental Psychology
Functions and Particularities of Developmental Psychology Research
Functions of developmental psychology research
Description: Describe the research object, psychological characteristics and development status
Explanation: Explain the causes of psychological development phenomena and changes
Forecasting: predicting the future development of the research object based on existing development rules
Control: Strictly regulate environmental variables to promote changes in theoretical expectations
The particularity of developmental psychology research: development (the process and dynamics of psychological development) → the core characteristics of developmental psychology research
How developmental psychology research is designed
Cross-sectional research design: same time, different ages [most commonly used]
Longitudinal study design: same subjects, different ages
Cross-sectional research design: cross-sectional research first and then longitudinal research
Unit 3: Motives of Psychological Development
Genetic factors determine psychological development: Founder: Galton; Research method: Genealogy survey method
Research on more than 900 celebrities → You will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow melons. A mouse’s son can dig holes, and a tiger father has no dog sons.
Genetic determinism: psychological development is determined by genetic factors
The process of psychological development is only the natural manifestation of these innate factors.
The environment (including education) only plays a inducing role, and at most it can only promote or delay the self-appearance of genetic factors. "1/2 of a person's inheritance comes from his parents, and 1/4 comes from his grandparents."
Environmental factors determine psychological development: Founder: Watson (founder of behaviorism)
Environmental determinism: psychological development is determined by environmental factors
One-sided emphasis and mechanical view of the role of environmental factors in psychological development
Denies the role of genetic factors in psychological development
Heredity and environment jointly determine psychological development: the two-factor theory
Two-factor theory: environment and genetics exist independently and are not combined together
Psychological development is determined by both genetic and environmental factors
Treat heredity and environment as equal factors affecting children's psychological development, and as two separate factors that exist in isolation
Attempts to reveal the extent to which each factor works independently
Behavioral development through social learning: Founder: Bandura (representative of new behaviorism)
Social Learning Theory: It advocates that children acquire social behaviors through observation and imitation→Bobo Doll Experiment
Ways of learning: observational learning (observation-imitation), vicarious reinforcement (reward-punishment) → Look at other people’s results to decide whether I want to do it → Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, if he can do it, so can I.
The role of role models and observation and imitation learning are widely recognized in developmental psychology
Sociocultural factors determine psychological development: Founder: Vygotsky (former Soviet Union)
cultural-historical theory
Human advanced psychological functions → development is determined by social, cultural and historical factors
Lower-level psychological functions (common to animals and humans) → Development is constrained by the biological maturity of the individual
Advanced psychological functions (unique to humans)
development indicators
Randomization: the formation and development of voluntary functions
Generalization-abstraction: the formation and development of abstract generalization functions
Integration: forming advanced psychological structures
Personalization: individual differences
The essence of psychology is the result of continuous internalization of social culture and history through the mediation of language symbols.
Cultural and historical factors are the source of children's psychological development
Social and cultural activities are the source of intellectual development
Using language as a medium to bring about qualitative changes in psychological activities
The relationship between education and teaching and psychological development
Zone of proximal development: the gap between a child's ability to solve problems independently and his ability to solve problems under adult guidance → the child's current level; the level he or she will reach through teaching and learning
Teaching should be in front of development: teaching should guide development and promote development (principle of precedence)
The best period for learning and coaching: when psychological functions begin to form
Twins climbing stairs experiment
It is based on the development and maturity of the individual and the development of certain psychological skills.
Psychological development is the result of the interaction between subject and object: Representative: Piaget
Children's psychological development is the result of the interaction between subject and object: the essence of intelligence is adaptation
The nature of cognitive development: adaptation theory and active construction theory
Diagram → Original experience and cognition in the subject’s mind → Cognitive structure
Assimilation: The process by which the subject incorporates and integrates information from the environment into the existing cognitive structure → quantitative change
Adaptation: When the subject's schema cannot adapt to the requirements of the object, change the original schema or create a new schema to adapt to the needs of the environment. →Qualitative change
Balance: the psychological power of the subject's development, the subject's active development trend
Psychology originates from action, and action is the source of psychological development
Action is the source of knowledge
The earliest actions are innate and unconditioned reflexes
factors affecting psychological development
Maturity: the growth of organisms such as the nervous system → one’s own physical, psychological and material groups (within one’s own body)
Experience: physical experience, mathematical logic experience → learned experience, experience (within oneself)
Social environment: social interaction, social transmission→Meng Mu’s three moves (external)
Balance: assimilate, adapt → adapt, balance (external)
