This chapter discusses how culture influences various developmental processes. It covers how temperament, attachment, cognitive development, and moral reasoning may differ across cultures or be culture-specific, while still exhibiting some universal aspects. For cognitive development, Piaget's stages are universal in order but not necessarily in age or skills within each stage. Higher levels of moral reasoning may also be culture-specific rather than universally applicable. The chapter concludes that developmental research provides insights into cultural differences in human development.
PSYCHOLOGY-Thinking and Problem SolvingBlixs Phire
Thinking
-is type of behavior that uses as “inner representations” of objects and events.-the symbolic reference deals with remembered,absent or imagined things and events,including those and elaborates on what is present in perception and movement
Thinking Process Involves:
Problem Solving
Problem Solving*whenever goal-oriented activity is blocked,or whenever a need remained unfulfilled,or perplexity unresolved,there is a problem.
* Solving a problems usually involves discovering a correct response to a new situation*It involves the appropriate combination of concepts ,ideas and skills.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

4. Traditional Knowledge
Temperament: Biologically based style of
interacting with world
Easy: regular, adaptable, mildly intense style
Difficult: intense, irregular, withdrawing style
Slow to warm up: need time to make transition
Goodness of fit: interaction of child’s
temperament with that of parents
5. Cross-cultural differences in temperament
Temperament: Biologically based style of
interacting with world
Easy: regular, adaptable, mildly intense style
Difficult: intense, irregular, withdrawing style
Slow to warm up: need time to make transition
Goodness of fit: interaction of child’s
temperament with that of parents
6. Cross-Cultural Studies on temperament
Differences in temperament
Chinese American babies
Japanese and Navajo babies
Cross-cultural studies using the Neonatal
Behavior Assessment Scale
Differences due to cultural practices of
caregiving, cultural goals for appropriate
behavior, cultural ideas on capabilities of babies
7. Cross-Cultural Studies on temperament
Temperament and learning culture
Differences in temperament may reflect cultural
values on appropriate ways of acting and being
The goodness of fit between temperament
and culture
“Difficult” temperament may be adaptive in one
culture
Need to interpret infant disposition and behavior
in cultural context
8. Cross-Cultural Studies on temperament
Sources behind temperamental differences
Cultural values, environmental demands, cultural
experiences (diet and culture-related
practices), physiological aspect of mother
10. Attachment: Special bond between infant and
caregiver
Provides child with emotional security
11. Bowlby’s Theory of Attachment
Infants must have preprogrammed, biological
basis for becoming attached to caregivers
Attachment is survival strategy
12. Ainsworth’s Classification System
of Attachment
Ainsworth’s study in Uganda
Three attachment styles:
secure, ambivalent, avoidant
Replicated in Baltimore
Similar distribution of attachment styles in other
cultures
But, in Dogon of Mali, no avoidant infants; in
Israel,more ambivalent babies
13. Cross-Cultural Studies on Attachment
Hundreds of studies on attachment conducted in
cultures all over the world
Weak association between parent sensitivity and
security of attachment
Cultures differ in conceptualization of sensitive
parenting
14. Cross-Cultural Validity of Assessing
Attachment
Meaning of Strange Situation
Meaning of separation different across different
cultures
ex) Japanese babies
Avoidant attachment as an indicator of
insecure attachment
Reliance on nonparental caregivers for Chinese
may account for avoidant attachment behavior
Subtle attachment behaviors difficult for coders
from different cultures
15. Is secure attachment a universal ideal?
In United States, secure attachment ideal
Some cultures differ in what is considered ideal
Ex) German mothers, Israeli children, Japanese
children
Nonetheless, many cultures consider secure
attachment ideal
16. Attachment and Child Development
Attachment predicts child competence and
health
Relationship between temperament and
attachment
More research needed in this area
18. Piaget’s Theory
Cognitive Development: How thinking skills
develop over time
Piaget’s theory based on observations of Swiss
children
Sensorimotor stage: birth to 2 years
Preoperational stage: 2 to 6-7 years
Conservation, centration, irreversibility, egocentris
m, animism
Concrete operations stage: 6-7 to 11 years
Formal operations stage: 11 years to adulthood
19. Piaget’s Theory
Mechanisms for moving from one stage to
next
Assimilation: fitting new ideas into preexisting
understanding of world
Accommodation: changing one’s understanding
of world to accommodate ideas that conflict with
existing concepts
Piaget believed these stages are universal
20. Piaget’s Theory in Cross-Cultural Perspective
Do Piaget’s stages occur in the same order
in different cultures?
Yes
Are the ages that Piaget associated with
each stage of development the same in all
cultures?
No, cultural variations exist (but children may
have potential to solve tasks sooner)
21. Piaget’s Theory in Cross-Cultural Perspective
Are there variations within, rather than
between, Piaget’s stages?
Yes, cultural variations in order in which acquire
skills within one stage
Do non-Western cultures regard scientific
reasoning as the ultimate developmental end
point?
No
Ex) Islamic educational systems
22. Piaget’s Theory: Summary and Discussion
In some cultures, very few complete fourth-
stage Piagetian task
Cultural appropriateness of tasks
Skills being tested
Role of previous knowledge and cultural values
Universality of fourth stage has not been
demonstrated
23. Other Theories of Cognitive Development
Great divide theory
Separates Westerners from those in primitive
societies
Non-Westerners’ development seen as inferior
Justification of colonial imperialism, ethnocentric
Non-westerners also have ethnocentric
assumptions
25. Kohlberg’s Theory of Morality
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development
Preconventional morality: compliance with
rules to avoid punishment and gain rewards
Conventional morality: conformity to rules
defined by others’ approval or society’s rules
Postconventional morality: moral reasoning on
basis of individual principles and conscience
26. Cross-Cultural Studies of Moral Reasoning
Cross-cultural studies suggest many aspects of
Kohlberg’s theory of morality are universal
Snarey (1985), Ma (1988)
Cross-cultural studies also raise questions about
universal generalizability of Kohlberg’s higher
stages
Cultural biases
Moral reasoning at higher stages is culture-
specific
27. Cross-Cultural Studies of Moral Reasoning
Miller
Moralities of community
Moralities of divinity
29. Developmental research offer insights into
causes and contexts of ontogenesis of cultural
differences
Cross-cultural developmental research in many
areas such as future-oriented goals and
commitments, social expectations, affective and
romantic relationships in adolescence, etc.
30.
31. Universal:
Order of stages
Culture-specific:
Age of 3rd and 4th stage
Ex) Children who constantly move were better
accomplished spatial task sooner than
conservation task whereas children who had to
fetch water and store grain, they accomplished
grain task sooner
32. Culture-specific:
Importance of scientific reasoning
Ex) Islamic educational system: transmit
faith, general knowledge and appreciation for
poetry and literature
Reaching 4th stage
