Progression of anger from childhood to adolescence
- 1. Progression of Anger from Childhood to Adolescence Daniel Hecht Child Psychology Dr. Biri November 24th, 2013
- 2. INFANCY • Infants can show signs of anger in as young as 3 months. • However, DePaul University psychologist Linda Camras says anger is an inappropriate word to describe the emotion infants are actually feeling. “Upset” and “distressed” are more appropriate words.
- 3. FACIAL EXPRESSIONS Facial expressions are the first signs that an infant is experiencing “anger.” Infants often furrow their eyebrows like adults when they are angry, according to psychologist Carroll Izard. Izard says that infants also make their mouth into a square-like shape when they are expressing anger.
- 5. Anger in Preschool Aged Children • Anger goes beyond facial expressions for pre-school aged children. • Temper tantrums are a common form of anger expression for preschool children. • According to a study conducted by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, only 9% of parents out 1,500 surveyed reported that their preschooler had daily tantrums. • This means that daily temper tantrums are not common and can be an early warning sign for emotional problems down the road. Joel Voss, a developmental neuroscientist at Northwestern University, is using brain-imaging techniques to link temper tantrums to underlying brain structures. This can help alert parents of abnormal behavior early to help fix the problem of daily temper tantrums.
- 6. School-aged
- 7. Anger differences in gender: school-aged children show different signs of anger based on gender Boys: -facial expressions of anger -more aggressive Girls: -try to mask emotions, especially anger Both: -direct anger towards peers rather than teachers and adults This information comes from a study conducted by Coie, Herbsman, and Underwood (2008) addressing the display rules for anger in school-aged boys and girls.
- 8. Adolescence
- 9. For Adolescence: anger transitions into negative emotions Negative emotions include: Anxiety Worry Hurt/Depression Anger/Aggressio n
- 10. Negative Emotions can lead to… Eating Disorders Social Isolation Self-hurting
- 11. Overall progression of anger: Infancy: facial expressions show anger; anger not quite the right word but “upset” and “distress” more accurate Pre-school aged: temper tantrums a new display of anger but should not be an everyday occurrence School-aged: Anger becomes more associated with gender. Boys display facial expression of anger. Girls mask anger. Anger is taken out on peers by both genders. Adolescence: Anger transitions into negative emotions such as worry, hurt, anxiety, and aggression. These negative emotions can lead to things such as eating disorders, selfhurting, and social isolation.
