Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game01:24

Social Foundations of Self I: Play and Game

320
The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Naturalistic Observations

18.2K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Introduction to Joints00:58

Introduction to Joints

5.8K
The adult human body usually has 206 bones, and except for the hyoid bone in the neck, each bone is connected to at least one other bone. Joints are the location where bones come together. Many joints allow for movement between the bones. At these joints, the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones can move smoothly against each other. However, the bones of other joints may be joined by connective tissue or cartilage. These joints are designed for stability and provide little or no...

Masonry in Cold and Hot Weather Conditions01:21

Masonry in Cold and Hot Weather Conditions

388
In cold weather, masonry construction requires specific precautions to ensure mortar does not freeze before curing, as this can significantly weaken its strength and watertightness. Mortar temperature should be maintained between 60°F and 80°F to support proper hydration and curing. Below 40°F, mortar water must be heated, but should not exceed 120°F as high temperatures can reduce mortar's compressive and bond strength.
Other key practices include keeping masonry units...

Zones of Protection01:16

Zones of Protection

946
In power systems, the entire setup is divided into protective zones to isolate faults and protect the rest of the network. These zones include generators, transformers, buses, transmission lines, distribution lines, and motors. Each zone can be visualized as a separate room in a house, with each room protected by its own circuit breaker.
Protective zones are defined by closed dashed lines, containing one or more components. A key characteristic of these zones is the strategic placement of...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other01:20

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

404
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Public Health
  • Environmental Psychology

Background:

  • Debate exists regarding the benefits and harms of active outdoor play for children.
  • Concerns about risks have led to reduced opportunities for children's engagement in outdoor activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an evidence-informed Position Statement on active outdoor play for children aged 3-12 years.
  • To provide recommendations for increasing children's access to outdoor play.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted two systematic reviews and a critical appraisal of existing literature.
  • Engaged 9 research experts and 17 cross-sectorial organizations.
  • Undertook an extensive stakeholder consultation process with 1908 participants.

Main Results:

  • Over 95% of consulted stakeholders strongly or somewhat agreed with the Position Statement.
  • 14 out of 17 participating organizations endorsed the statement.
  • Over 1000 additional individuals and organizations requested to be listed as supporters.

Conclusions:

  • Access to active outdoor play, including its inherent risks, is crucial for healthy child development.
  • Recommendations focus on increasing opportunities for self-directed outdoor play across various settings.
