Assignment: The Development of Identity and Self-Concept
In 1975, Edward Tronick conducted an experiment referred to as
the Still-Face Paradigm. In this experiment, mothers resisted
interaction with their infants, providing no facial or vocal cues.
After a few minutes, the mothers’ lack of attentiveness or “still
face” began to weigh emotionally on the infants. The infants
stared at the mothers, pointing and reaching out for reassurance.
Eventually, the infants disengaged and cried until their mothers
offered them comfort (Goldman, 2010).
As infants grow from toddlers to preschoolers, parents and
primary caregivers have the greatest impact on identity and self-
concept. As a child reaches elementary school, the influence of
the parent wanes and various environments outside of the family
unit take on greater importance. If a child is continually given a
“still face” by his or her peers, what impact might this have on
his or her identity? Similarly, if a child continually passes (or
fails) spelling tests, what impact might this have on his or her
identity development and feelings of self-worth?
For this Assignment, review the Learning Resources. Consider
the factors that impact identity and self-concept in childhood
and early adolescence.

2. Complete a 3- to 4-page paper in which you do the following:
Explain how identity and self-concept are developed from
middle childhood through early adolescence, including how
social, biological, and cultural factors might influence the
developmental process
Explain how you might use this information in your future
counseling practice
Justify your response with specific references to this week’s
Learning Resources and the current literature
