Evolutionary theory suggests birth order influences personality traits and workplace behaviors. Research shows firstborn children tend to be more extroverted, assertive, and task-oriented. Second born children are often more open, creative, and relationship-focused. Famous firstborns like Steve Ballmer and Andrea Jung exemplify these traits, while second borns like Louis Gerstner and George Soros demonstrate more flexibility and non-conformity. Birth order helps predict how siblings compete for resources and adapt, shaping lifelong personality differences.
This document discusses key aspects of adolescent development including heightened self-consciousness as adolescents learn to think more abstractly and logically. It also notes adolescents often have a sense of invincibility. The document lists sources on life span development and child development used in the discussion.
The document discusses various topics in developmental psychology including physical, social, and cognitive development over the lifespan from infancy to late adulthood. It covers prenatal development, childhood milestones and changes during puberty. It also discusses theories of development from Freud, Erikson, and Piaget focusing on stages of psychosexual, psychosocial, and cognitive development. Nature vs nurture influences are explored along with research methods used in developmental psychology.
This document provides an overview of the major theoretical perspectives on lifespan development: psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, humanistic, contextual, and evolutionary. For each perspective, key theorists and concepts are discussed. The psychodynamic perspective focuses on unconscious influences and is exemplified by Freud's psychosexual stages and Erikson's psychosocial stages. The behavioral perspective emphasizes observable behavior and environmental influences, including classical and operant conditioning. The cognitive perspective examines mental processes and is represented by Piaget's stages of cognitive development and information processing theory. The humanistic perspective focuses on free will, self-actualization, and positive regard. The contextual perspective considers a person's interactions with their environment, as seen in Bronfenbrenner
Developmental psychology studies physical, cognitive, and social changes across the lifespan from infancy to old age. There are three major issues in developmental psychology: the influence of nature and nurture on development, whether development is gradual or stage-like, and the stability or change of personality over time. Prenatal development proceeds from zygote to embryo to fetus. After birth, infants develop motor skills, cognition through stages, and social attachment to caregivers. Adolescence marks the transition from childhood to adulthood.
The document summarizes key aspects of development from childhood through adolescence. It discusses:
1) Motor, social, and cognitive development during the school age period of 7-11 years, including abilities like logical thinking, conservation, and seriation.
2) Developmental stages from birth through adulthood, including sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational periods.
3) Physical, cognitive, and social changes during early, middle and late adolescence including puberty, identity formation, and risk-taking behaviors.
4) Issues like illness, death, and adoption are discussed in relation to how children understand and react depending on their developmental stage.
This document provides an outline for a lesson on adolescence that includes 5 stations where students research and record information about puberty, self-image, self-esteem, independence, and friendship. Students will move in groups between stations to add to posters with details on each topic before coming together to share what they learned and generate discussion questions for the next class.
The document summarizes Kohlberg's theory of moral development and Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. Kohlberg's theory proposes that moral development occurs through 6 stages across 3 levels - pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Each stage involves a different orientation toward rules and justice. Erikson's theory outlines 8 stages of psychosocial development from infancy to adulthood, where individuals must resolve crises of trust, autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity, and integrity. Successfully navigating each stage leads to healthy development.
Adolescence is a turbulent time of changes, searching for identity. Learn what brain science, gender research, and educational psychology has to say about raising connected and resilient kids primed to learn and be successful in school. What are some practical tips to help kids maintain healthy developing brains? How do you maintain connections with your kids, even as they draw away from adults? This session will help you empathize with your teens and with yourself, as well as inform how you approach your teens in healthy and productive ways.

This document provides an overview of chapter 7 in a developmental psychology textbook. It outlines 20 learning objectives that will be covered in the chapter, including how development is studied through longitudinal, cross-sectional and cross-sequential research designs. Other topics that will be discussed are the relationship between heredity and environment, genetic inheritance, prenatal development of twins, physical changes from infancy to childhood, cognitive development theories from Piaget and Vygotsky, and adolescent identity formation.
Erik Erikson proposed eight stages of psychosocial development that take place throughout the lifespan. Each stage is characterized by a conflict between two opposing tendencies that must be resolved. The stages from birth to age 12 involve developing trust, autonomy, initiative, and industry. Adolescence involves establishing identity versus role confusion. Adulthood involves developing intimacy, generativity, and ego integrity.
This document discusses adolescence as a period of stress and strain. It defines adolescence as the transition from childhood to adulthood according to the WHO as ages 10-19. Adolescence is characterized by rapid physical, social, psychological, and sexual maturation. However, these changes do not occur simultaneously, causing stress and confusion. G. Stanley Hall referred to adolescence as a time of "storm and stress" due to the flood of hormones and internal changes during puberty combined with external life changes. The document outlines some of the challenges adolescents face including becoming independent, developing ideals, health issues, and lack of a clear adult identity while being past childhood. Schools and teachers are said to have an important role in guiding adolescents through
This chapter discusses physical, cognitive, and social development from prenatal development through adulthood. Key points include:
1) Prenatal development proceeds from zygote to embryo to fetus. Teratogens like alcohol can harm development. Babies exhibit preferences for human faces and voices.
2) Infants' cognition develops from reflexes to object permanence. Toddlers begin to walk and talk. Piaget's stages describe cognitive milestones.
3) Adolescents experience puberty and form their identity. Erikson's stages involve developing intimacy. Adulthood involves physical changes like menopause. Cognitive abilities generally decline with age.
Adolescence involves significant physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Physically, puberty begins, marked by a growth spurt and development of secondary sex characteristics. Cognitively, while logical thought emerges, most adolescents cannot think formally in all situations and can be egocentric, believing they are unique and the center of attention. Emotionally, adolescents experience more frequent and intense mood swings than older individuals.
This document discusses generational characteristics and how they relate to teaching today's students. It focuses on Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials. Baby Boomers value teamwork and personal growth, while Gen Xers are self-sufficient and pragmatic. Millennials are civic-minded, optimistic, and expect frequent communication and feedback from teachers. The document suggests that today's classrooms require more group activities, feedback, and interactive learning to engage Millennial students compared to the past.
Developmental psychology covers physical, social, cognitive, and moral development over the lifespan. Nature and nurture both influence who we become. Research methods include cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Physical development encompasses changes from prenatal development and infancy through adulthood and death. Social development involves attachment, parenting styles, and relationships. Cognitive development progresses through Piaget's stages of sensorimotor, preoperational, and concrete operational thought.
Adolescence involves significant physical, cognitive, and social development. Puberty brings sexual maturation between ages 11-13 which includes growth of sexual organs and secondary sex characteristics. Brain development allows for advanced reasoning and abstract thought. Socially, adolescents develop a stronger sense of identity and morality as they establish independence from parents and bond with peers. They transition into emerging adulthood between 18-25 where they live independently while attending college or working.
The document summarizes human development across the lifespan from infancy through older adulthood. It discusses major theorists like Piaget, Erikson, and Kohlberg and their stages of cognitive and social development. It then provides more detailed information on physical, intellectual, emotional, and social milestones for infants, children, adolescents, young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults. References are also included.
Erik Erikson was a psychoanalyst born in 1902 who developed a theory of psychosocial development focusing on how children's experiences of trust, autonomy, and initiative can impact their relationships and academic performance long-term. His theory influenced early childhood education practices, emphasizing the importance of safe and secure environments for children to develop trust in themselves and others. While Freudian in origins, Erikson's theory considered social influences on development across the lifespan.
The document discusses key concepts in developmental psychology including nature vs nurture, continuity vs stages of development, stability vs change over the lifespan. It covers prenatal development, infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Key theorists discussed include Piaget, Kohlberg, Erikson. Development is influenced by both biological/genetic factors and environmental experiences.
Here are some responses from different levels of moral reasoning:
Pre-conventional:
- No, stealing is against the rules and Heinz could get in trouble.
Conventional:
- It's a difficult situation, but stealing is illegal so Heinz should not have done it.
Post-conventional:
- Stealing violates the druggist's rights, but letting a life be lost when the means to save it exist also seems wrong. There are good arguments on both sides of this complex situation with moral dilemmas either way.
This document discusses early childhood development from ages 2 to 6. It notes that early childhood is divided into early childhood (ages 2-6) and late childhood (ages 6 until sexual maturity). During early childhood, children develop physically, learning to walk, talk in sentences, and gain weight and height significantly. They also develop emotionally, learning to relate to others and give/receive affection. Psychologically, this stage is referred to as the "pregang" age, where children explore, question, create, and imitate. Physically, children's bones, muscles and teeth continue developing during this stage.
This document provides a high-level overview of teaching strategies focused on differentiating instruction to meet students' unique needs and maximize cognitive effectiveness. It discusses the importance of understanding each student's developmental level, learning profile, and what instructional approaches best suit their unique brain. Key points emphasized include the diversity of human intelligence and development, challenges with standardized testing and developmental frameworks, the malleability of intelligence over time, and strategies like tapping into student interests and passions to increase motivation.
This document discusses human development and psychology across the lifespan from infancy to late adulthood. It covers key stages of development from 0-5 years, 6-12 years, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. For each stage, it describes physical, cognitive, social, and emotional characteristics. The document also discusses theories of Erik Erikson on psychosocial development and the psychology of vulnerable groups like the sick/ailing, women, and challenged individuals.
This document discusses social and personality development in early adulthood. It mentions some of the major milestones of this period, such as building relationships, choosing a career, and becoming a parent. It also discusses Erikson's theory of intimacy versus isolation and the importance of developing social support networks. The document examines Holland's theory of personality types and how they relate to career choices. It questions whether people can truly be defined by one personality type. In nursing practice, understanding Erikson's stages and a patient's social support systems will be important for providing the best possible care to patients in early adulthood.

This document discusses using humor to make aging more enjoyable. It provides examples of jokes and perspectives that showcase humor about the aging process. These include jokes about visits to the doctor, mixed-up ages, and embracing an older perspective. The document argues that humor can help aging individuals cope and change their perspective on growing older.
1. Life expectancy has increased significantly over the past century from 47 years to over 76 years due to control of infectious diseases and medical innovations.
2. Gerontology is the comprehensive study of aging while geriatrics focuses on diseases and problems of older adults.
3. Many body systems are impacted by aging including decreased function of the cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
4. Promoting healthy behaviors such as exercise, nutrition, social engagement and annual health screenings can help optimize health and functioning in older adults.
The document discusses personality from an organizational behavior perspective. It defines personality as a dynamic system greater than the sum of its parts. Personality is determined by heredity, environment, and situation. Two prominent models of personality discussed are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Big Five model. Methods of measuring personality include interviews, observation, projective tests, and objective tests.
Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality consists of the id, ego, and superego. The id operates based on the pleasure principle and seeks to satisfy basic desires, the ego mediates between the id and reality, and the superego incorporates societal morals. The three structures are often in conflict, creating anxiety, which the ego defends against using mechanisms like repression, rationalization, and displacement. Defense mechanisms distort reality to reduce anxiety from conflicts between the id, ego, and superego.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
1) Alfred Adler developed Individual Psychology, which views people as motivated by social influences and a striving for superiority rather than by sex and aggression as Freud believed.
2) Adler saw personality as shaped more by the future than the past and people as usually aware of their behavior and reasons for it rather than driven by unconscious forces.
3) Individual Psychology presents an optimistic view of human nature and potential.
Erik Erikson was a German-American developmental psychologist known for his theory on psychosocial development across the human lifespan. The document summarizes Erikson's theory of 8 stages of psychosocial development from infancy to late adulthood. Each stage involves resolving a psychosocial crisis through developing certain psychosocial strengths or virtues. The stages involve developing trust vs mistrust in infancy, autonomy vs shame and doubt in early childhood, initiative vs guilt in preschool years, industry vs inferiority in school-age children, identity vs role confusion in adolescence, intimacy vs isolation in young adulthood, generativity vs stagnation in adulthood, and integrity vs despair in late adulthood.
G I F T E D E D U C A T I O N and Underachievementguestad7b2ea2
Gifted education is often underfunded and ineffective. While some myths exist around giftedness, such as that it guarantees success, the truth is that gifted students have special needs just like other students. These include challenging curriculum tailored to their abilities. Without proper support, gifted students are at risk for underachievement, dropping out, and behavioral issues. Acceleration is considered the best alternative to meet gifted students' needs when other options have failed. Educational plans are important to provide consistency and challenge gifted students to develop their potential.
Here are some common parenting situations groups could discuss:
- Child throwing tantrums in public
- Sibling fighting/arguing
- Child not listening or following rules
- Child being disrespectful or rude
- Child struggling with homework/schoolwork
- Child being overly clingy or dependent
- Child having trouble making friends
- Child being aggressive or bullying others
- Child being dishonest or lying
- Child spending too much time on devices/screens
- Child not eating healthy foods
- Bedtime battles
- Chores/responsibilities not being done
Groups can pick one or more situations to discuss causes, impacts, and potential solutions. Discussing real parenting challenges helps identify effective strategies
This document discusses generational differences in teaching styles and student expectations. It outlines characteristics of the Baby Boomer, Gen X, and Millennial generations. Baby Boomers value teamwork and personal growth. They had large class sizes and questioned authority as students. Gen Xers are pragmatic and self-sufficient due to divorce rates during their childhood. They distrust authority and want independence. Millennials are civic-minded, optimistic, and expect technology and customer service. They have high expectations for satisfaction from colleges.

Episode 1 would introduce the various cultures present in London, such as Brazilian, Indian, Caribbean, and more. Episode 2 would discuss where immigrants from these cultures mainly settled. Episode 3 would look at cultural establishments that help immigrants remember their home countries. Episode 4 would discuss the positive contributions these cultures bring to London's diversity.
The documentary aims to help Londoners learn more about the city's cultural diversity and traditions in a respectful and informative manner. It would air on Channel 4 at 9pm to reach its target audience of 32-50 year olds from various ethnic backgrounds with an interest in
This document provides an overview of key concepts in developmental psychology. It discusses three domains of development - physical, cognitive, and social/emotional. Nature and nurture both impact child development, as seen through comparisons of monozygotic and dizygotic twins. Child behavior is also influenced by parenting styles like authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive parenting. Several theories of development are presented, including Piaget's stages of cognitive development, Kohlberg's stages of moral development, Erikson's psychosocial stages, and Vygotsky's sociocultural theory emphasizing social learning.
1. The modern idea of childhood developed in the mid-19th century as social attitudes towards children began to change. Campaigners wanted children off the streets and in schools, influenced by concerns over juvenile delinquency and the shift to industrialized factory work requiring an educated workforce.
2. Views differ on whether children are better off now than in the past. The "march of progress" view argues children are more valued, protected, educated, and have better health and rights, while the conflict view sees modern childhood as increasing adult control over children's lives and neglecting gender, class, and ethnicity differences in experiences.
3. Debates continue around the future of childhood, such as whether the concept

BBS - Cultural Dimensions. A comparison between Turkey, Sweden and JapanAyla Erhan
1. Turkey, Sweden, and Japan differ on Hofstede's cultural dimensions. Turkey has higher power distance and uncertainty avoidance, while Sweden scores lowest. Japan ranks highest in masculinity and collectivism.
2. Power distance refers to how power is distributed and influences teacher-student and boss-employee relationships. Individualism/collectivism measures independent versus group-oriented thinking. Masculinity/femininity examines gender roles and priorities. Uncertainty avoidance relates to tolerance for ambiguity.
3. Cultural dimensions provide insight but not judgments. Understanding differences without assigning values can aid international cooperation by increasing cultural awareness and sensitivity.
This documentary series would explore various topics through an informative lens. It would consist of 4 episodes for each topic.
Topics explored would be cultures in London, examining the various traditions and how they have contributed to the city. Another topic is how teenagers are represented in media and society, looking at stereotypes and how not all fit certain images. A third topic is the right to die debate, covering euthanasia and assisted suicide, including legal status in different places and perspectives from patients and doctors.
Maturity is defined psychologically as the ability to react, cope and reason appropriately for different situations based on experiences and healthy growth rather than age alone. Neuroscience research shows the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex responsible for higher-level thinking, is still developing well into a person's 20s which may impact judgment and risk-taking behaviors in adolescents. However, there is little evidence age alone determines an adult level of maturity and more data is needed to understand the relationship between brain development and real-world behaviors.
The document provides guidance on writing a research paper, including:
- Using a group of primary sources from a defined context (e.g. chronological, thematic)
- Incorporating scholarly secondary sources to provide context for the primary sources
- Examining one of the provided class themes
- Developing productive research questions
It then lists potential class themes and provides tips for keeping an organized research log and conducting initial and follow up research.
Talented And Gifted At Risk Presentation 040710lajano82
This document discusses talented and gifted students who are also at risk of not reaching their full potential. It notes that while 2-5% of students are both gifted and have learning disabilities, schools in the US spend much more on students with mental disabilities than on gifted programs. It encourages identifying gifted students using multiple criteria, recognizing that giftedness occurs in many areas and that gifted students can also face challenges like learning disabilities or unstable home lives. The document challenges educators to find underserved gifted students and support their success through appropriate identification strategies and a focus on student strengths, passions, and minimizing barriers to achievement.
1. Human development involves physical, cognitive, social, and emotional changes that occur throughout the lifespan.
2. Important developmental milestones include learning to walk, talk, gain independence, and develop social skills with peers.
3. Development is influenced both by innate, biological factors and environmental factors like parenting styles and relationships.
Erik Erikson developed eight stages of psychosocial development that occur throughout the lifespan. Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial crisis that must be resolved. If unresolved, it can negatively impact future development. The stages include: trust vs. mistrust (infancy), autonomy vs. shame and doubt (early childhood), initiative vs. guilt (preschool), industry vs. inferiority (middle childhood), identity vs. role confusion (adolescence), intimacy vs. isolation (young adulthood), generativity vs. stagnation (middle adulthood), and integrity vs. despair (late adulthood). Erikson's theory emphasizes the importance of social relationships at each stage of development.
During adolescence, identity develops from concrete to more complex and abstract as teens explore different roles and develop a stronger sense of self, which involves considering their personality traits, values, and how they fit into social and cultural contexts. The establishment of identity involves experimenting with different possibilities and making commitments, which can cause identity crises as teens navigate physical, cognitive, and social changes. Successful identity development requires exploration and commitment to achieve a coherent sense of self.

• Gender
• Culture
• Socioeconomic factors
• Family size
• Attributes of parents
• Divorce, additional marriages, and half- or step- siblings
…may lead to deviations from the general patterns of birth order and
personality characteristics in the workplace. Therefore, the impact of birth
order on personality is not a fail-safe predictor and should not be used in
human resource decisions. Also, since birth order involves family background
and can be related to socioeconomic status, ethnic group membership, or
religious affiliation, companies should be very cautious about inquiring about
the sibling structures of job candidates if they decide to do so at all. 20

As an example of an exception to the usual birth order pattern, second

Conclusion • First born children
• Second born children
• Middle children
• Only children

• Special circumstances
Conclusion
Since birth order can have such a significant influence
on personality, it can also help illuminate thinking and
behavior in the workplace. However, because there are
so many other variables that influence personality, and
because birth order is part of one’s family background
and can be related to religion and ethnicity, birth order
should not be used as a criterion in selection or
promotions. Birth order is more valuable for inspiring
questions about personality and style than for providing
answers.
