1 INTRODUCTON 5mints INTRODUCTION
Developmental
Psychology: This branch of
psychology describes the
processes and factors that
influence the growth and
development in relation to the
behaviour of an individual
from birth o old age. It is
further subdivided into
branches like child
psychology, adolescent, adult
and old age psychology.
Development psychologists
try to understand complex
behaviours by studying their
beginning and the orderly
ways in which they change or
develop over the lifespan.

2. GROWTH AND
DELEVOPMENT

mints
GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT •
Development means a
progressive series of changes
that occur as a result of
maturation and learning. •
Growth occurs due to
metabolic processes, implies
a quantitative change or
increase in size.
PRINCIPLES OF
DEVELOPMENT
10
mints
PRINCIPLES OF
DEVELOPMENT •
Development is continuous •
Early development is more
critical than later
development. • Development
is the product of maturation
and learning. • Development
follows an orderly direction. •
The developmental pattern
has predictable
characteristics. • All children
follow a similar

3. developmental pattern. •
Development proceeds from
general to specific responses.
• Different areas develop at
different rates. • There are
individual differences in
development
FACTORS
INFLUENCING
DEVELOPMENT
5 mints FACTORS INFLUENCING
DEVELOPMENT
1.Biological or internal
Factors: • Heredity or genetic
characteristics • Sex of the
individual • Hormones •
Temperament
2.Environmental or External
Factors: • Prenatal
Environment • Family
Environment • School
environment •
Neighbourhood • Culture
3.Natural / man-made events:
• Wars, earthquake •
Epidemics 4.Personal life

4. events: • Accidents •
Business loss, divorce or
death of a parent
DEVELOPMENTAL
TASKS:
5 mints DEVELOPMENTAL
TASKS: • Occur at various
developmental stages which
must be achieved for optimal
development. PRENATAL
STAGE: • Physical growth is
most rapid in any person’s
lifespan in this period. It
consists of 3 stages.
1.Germinal stage (growth of
zygote and implantation in
the walls of the uterus)
2.Embryonic stage ( end of
the second week to the end of
the eighth week- rapid
growth and differentiation of
body systems)
3.Foetal stage ( changes in
the body form and organs
assume their specialised

5. functions, this stage ends
with birth) • Vulnerability to
environmental influences like
drugs, radiation, malnutrition
and disease is also great in
the stage. • Mother’s age
below 16 years and over 35
years are at high risk for
miscarriages, premature
births and birth defects. •
Mother’s age above 40 years
have a higher risk of Down
syndrome
INFANCY • The period of
infancy begins with birth and
lasts for 1 year. • The infant
is called a neonate for the
first 4 weeks after birth. •
During the first 12 months
the infant shows very rapid
motor development and
learns to sit, stand and begins
to walk. • Infant weighs triple

6. from birth weight by 1 year •
Length increases by almost
50 percent from birth. •
Development of the child is
complex and varied. • Infant
shows several reflexes and
earning perceptual activities
that involves active
exploration. • Visual
perception develops rapidly,
so that the child can make
finer discrimination. • Even
sixth month old infants have
implicit and explicit memory.
Children in Hospital: • Very
small children cannot bear to
be separated from parents for
long. • Bowlby (1951) argued
strongly that disturbances in
mental health and personality
development resulted from
maternal deprivation. • There

7. is strongly evidence that very
small children suffer from a
sense of loss, mourning and
grief when
away from their mothers
Role of Nurse: • Young
adults are rarely hospitalised,
usually for childbirth, injuries
or any accident or any
problems in digestive tract or
genitourinary tract. • Have to
teach and assistance in
handling babies. • Explain the
personality characteristics
required for parental figure
and that should be respected.
• Explanation of procedures.
• Assist with problem solving
• Help the couples to achieve
intimacy with each other.

8. Relevance of group
Psychology for Nurses: •
While most nurses care for
one patient at a time, public
health nurses care for entire
populations. • Public health
education can be given to
improve group behaviour. •
Nurses have to create sense
of belongingness • Teamwork
is much important in case of
hospitalised patients. •
Nurses can suggest the
availability of support groups
to patients and also motivate
caregivers in the family to
join such groups. • Successful
nurse leaders are role models
for their junior nurses. •
Good nursing leadership will
definitely influence the

9. quality of patient care in
hospital.
SUMMARY
Developmental
psychologists study human
growth and development
over the lifespan, including
physical, cognitive, social,
intellectual, perceptual,
personality and emotional
growth. Developmental
psychologists working in
colleges and universities tend
to focus primarily on research
or teaching.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the
developmental
psychopathology perspective
views adjustment and

10. development as a dynamic,
cumulative result of the
reciprocal influences between
child, family, and ecological
characteristics across time.
Development does not just
involve the biological and
physical aspects of growth,
but also the cognitive and
social aspects associated
with development
throughout life. By better
understanding how and why
people change and grow, we
can then apply this
knowledge to helping people
live up to their full potential.
