Risk-Taking Behavior Among Adolescents Adolescence is the transition period between childhood and adulthood. During this transition, adolescents develop their own sense of identity independent of their caregivers. Relationships with caregivers, teachers, and peers can have an impact on the types of behaviors in which an adolescent engages. In order to establish their sense of identity, adolescents often have to try out new roles and new experiences associated with more adult behaviors, which can sometimes translate into adolescent risk-taking. The personal fable and imaginary audience can contribute to the willingness to engage in risky behavior. A personal fable is when an individual believes he/she is the only one experiencing a feeling; such as, his/her parents do not understand what they are going through. Adolescents preoccupied in their peer groups sometimes develop imaginary audiences because they believe others are constantly judging them. Culture and gender also influence how the adolescent perceives risk-taking behavior. While risk-taking behavior is predominantly perceived as unwanted dangerous behavior, it is not necessarily so. Sexual expression among adolescents need not result in pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases, just as concerns with physical appearance do not always lead to eating disorders or depression. For this Discussion, you will examine risk-taking behaviors by adolescents. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Learning Resources related to adolescent behaviors. By Day 4 Post a description of two adolescent risk-taking behaviors. For each behavior, provide two sources of influence. Then, describe general strategies for mitigating negative risk-taking behavior and explain why you selected these strategies. Justify your response with citations from the Learning Resources/literature. Use proper APA format and citations. ...

1 | S o c i a l i z a t i o n SOCIALIZATION Learning Outcomes At the end of this chapter you will be able to do the following. Define socialization. Compare nature and nurture as socialization influences. Identify agents and agencies of socialization. Evaluate the study of cases of feral children in terms of their importance to our knowledge of socialization. Recall and define the steps in determining a self-concept. Evaluate Dramaturgy for its application to every day life. WHAT IS SOCIALIZATION? Socialization is the process by which people learn characteristics of their group’s norms, values, attitudes, and behaviors. Through socialization we learn the culture of the society into which we have been born. In the course of this process, a personality develops. A personality is comprised of patterns of behavior and ways of thinking and feeling that are distinctive for each individual. Babies are not born with the social or emotional tools needed to contribute to society as properly functioning social actors. They have to learn all the nuances of proper behavior, how to meet expectations for what is expected of them, and everything else needed to become members of society. As newborns interact with family and friends they learn the expectations of their society (family, community, state, and nation). From the first moments of life, children begin a process of socialization wherein parents, family, and friends establish an infant’s social construction of reality, or what people define as real because of their background assumptions and life experiences with others. An average U.S. child’s social construction of reality includes knowledge that he or she belongs, and can depend on others to meet his or her needs. It also includes the privileges and obligations that accompany membership in his or her family and community. In a typical set of social circumstances, children grow up through a predictable set of life stages: infancy, preschool, K-12 school years, young adulthood, adulthood, middle adulthood, and finally later-life adulthood. Most will leave home as young adults, find a spouse or life partner in their mid-to late 20s and work in a job for pay. 2 | S o c i a l i z a t i o n THREE LEVELS OF SOCIALIZATION When discussing the average U.S. child, most agree that the most imperative socialization takes place early in life and in identifiable levels. Primary socialization typically begins at birth and moves forward until the beginning of the school years. Primary socialization includes all the ways the newborn is molded into a social being capable of interacting in and meeting the expectations of society. Most primary socialization is facilitated by the family, friends, day care, and to a certain degree various forms of media. Children watch about three hours of TV per day (by the time the average child attends kindergarten she has watched about 5,000 hours of TV.

How does the development of self-awareness and self-esteem factor into the development of social problem solving skills? Based on what you’ve learned, does the media (social, video games, music, movies, etc.) help or hurt the development of social problem solving skills? Please give examples to support your claim. I have a challenge for you. Can you find an example, online, of a child, (any stage of development), showing positive social problem solving skills and an example with poor or no social problem solving skills? Start your search locally. If you can't find anything, broaden your search to state and national news. If you still can't find anything you may use social media. Please post the results of your search. If you found something, post the link/s, a summary of what you found, and your thoughts about it. READING CHFD215 | LESSON 7 Social Understanding, Peers, Media, and Schooling This week addresses the development of social cognition, or how children come to understand their multifaceted social world. We will also learn about the importance of peer relations, television, computers, and schooling in child development. Topics to be covered include: · Stages in Social Understanding. · Impact of Peer Relations, Media, and Schooling in Child Development Development of Self-Awareness and Self-Concept How do children come to understand their multidimensional social world? How do they think about and interpret their experiences with others? These questions address the concept of social cognition, thinking about characteristics of the self and other people. The first step in this development is self-awareness. You may wonder when babies begin to recognize the concept of self. The development of self-awareness occurs in stages, with the first stage commencing at birth. As language takes more of a role in the toddler’s interactions, self-awareness increases, as the toddler is now able to express the self in a more defined manner. Between 18 and 30 months, children begin to classify themselves and others on the basis of perceptually distinct attributes and behaviors, such as age, gender, size, and temperament. This is known as the categorical self. The remembered self encompasses a bigger picture as children rely on autobiographical memories to view themselves as continuously existing individuals. This type of awareness grows out of conversations and interactions with adults who can elaborate on past experiences. Finally, the concept of the enduring self is developed as preschoolers begin to discuss future events and begin to view themselves as persisting over time. SELF-AWARENESS · NEWBORNS · INFANTS · TODDLERS You may recall that newborns have the capacity for intermodal perception, or making sense of light, sound, tactile, odor, and taste information. As babies touch their toes, watch their arms move, and hear themselves cry, they begin to differentiate their own bodies from their surroundings. After feeling a particular object with their ...

Middle Childhood and Adolescence Paper PSY/280 During childhood and throughout adolescences changes can occur that can either positively or negatively affect the youth and future relationships, as well as how the develop. A good example of this is children that are born to teen mothers. The mother has not fully developed and is not able to make tough life choices without a negative impact. Furthermore, the teen mom is influenced not by other adults but other teens that are her peers. This greatly affects her newborn child as they look to the mom for advice when she is getting it from the wrong places. Changes that happen at school and home affect the child because how they handle situations when young will determine how they cope with adult decisions that they need to make. In terms of family there is a huge gap when looking at a dysfunctional family versus how a functional family works. The idealistic functional family has the parent as the leaders, and they are in place to raise the children and keep them on a promising belief system. On the opposite end of the spectrum a dysfunctional family does not have parents as leaders leaving the kids the fend for themselves and they have to pull emotions from each other and strangers. They grow up thinking that absenteeism is ok as a parent. When a parental figure is not active in a child’s life, they learn the wrong traits and values that they receive from their peers. The most common traits of a dysfunctional family are signs of abuse, kids hat always want to be perfect, lack of communication, addiction fear and the need to be in control. The underlying factor of this is children that grow up in this type of environment not only harbor these bad traits but the pass them on to their children think it is ok and the 0process continues. Also, various forms of anxiety form, social anxiety is one that prevents interaction between persons because one or both are worried about what the other will think about them. Relationship anxiety directly affects how a child handles different relationships, is there is anxiety in relationships when a child is young there is a real chance the child will not know how to handle adult relationships. The difference in how a child handles relationship is greatly determined by if they grow up in a dysfunctional family or if they are able to have full family functions. One of the advantages of having a functional family is when there are peer issues and peer pressure is involved there is a better chance that the child will be able to mentally handle what is happening and make better informed decisions. Adversely a child that grows up in a dysfunctional family will accept the unhealthy relationships and give in to peer pressure. When in the teen stage peer pressure becomes a huge part of life. To ease the transition from teen to adult and help combat some of the negative peer pressure out there it is important the teen have some positive family members .

As babies touch their toes, watch their arms move, and hear themselves cry, they begin to differentiate their own bodies from their surroundings. After feeling a particular object with their hands, they are able to visually distinguish it from other objects. Theory of Mind Development You may recall that, as children think about themselves and others, they form a naïve theory of mind, which is a coherent understanding of their own and others’ vivid mental lives. In other words, they are aware that people have personal thoughts. This contributes to their ability to consider the perspective of others, as they understand that someone else may not be thinking the same thoughts as them. By the time children have reached the age of three, children begin to realize the connections among perceiving, feeling, and desiring. Factors influencing theory of mind include language and verbal reasoning, executive function, parent-child conversations about mental states, make-believe play, and social interaction wit ...

Final Written Art Project (500 words) carefully and creatively written words and sentences. Artist Statement (250 words) WRITTEN ART PROJECT Create a disjunctive or non-narrative piece that engages all three aspects of reality that we have been discussing throughout the quarter: 1) larger political, social, and economic realities 2) personal or human dramatic situation and 3) detritus of existence. Make sure each of these are well represented and that they do not merely serve as a backdrop or props for other parts of your piece. In other words, make sure each of these aspects of reality is given its due as determining of your or others reality. Possible Strategies and Advice: Switch between first and third person perspectives. Make use of actual seeings—what you see. Describe and only occasionally explain or meditate. Meditate a great deal but be sure you are specific . Enact and don’t preach. Create a concept (a title for your piece) that gives the reader a sense of the intent of your work. This concept should serve to suggest complementary or conflictual relations between the different parts of your piece. Ultimately in placing all your parts together, in proximity to one another, you want the “whole” to be greater than the sum of the parts. ARTIST STATEMENT Please describe the intent of your piece and how you think its disjunctive form allows you to create a sense of reality that you wish to create. Please consider key words and concepts from the module syllabus as well as the ideas that have emerged from course discussions and thought challenges. You might also find these artist’s statements of use: Chekov Remove everything that has no relevance to the story.
