Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other01:20

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

353
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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.9K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Sources of Self-Esteem III: Social Comparison

348
Social comparison plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of personal success and self-worth. Rather than assessing our achievements in isolation, we interpret their significance relative to personal goals and critically in comparison to the performance of others. A grade of B in a mathematics exam might elicit pride if one's expectation was a C, yet result in disappointment if an A was anticipated or if peers achieved superior results. These comparative evaluations illustrate how both...

Socioemotional Development during Infancy

1.1K
Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy. By examining temperament, researchers can better understand an infant's unique ways of interacting with the world, influencing subsequent personality and socio-emotional growth.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

1.7K
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Adolescent Health

Background:

  • Poor motor skills are associated with psychosocial issues like anxiety and depression.
  • The Elaborated Environmental Stress Hypothesis suggests motor skills influence internalizing problems via social support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if motor skills indirectly affect anxious and depressive symptoms through perceived family support.
  • To test the Elaborated Environmental Stress Hypothesis in an adolescent sample.

Main Methods:

  • A community sample of 93 adolescents (aged 12-16) was assessed.
  • Measures included motor skills, perceived social support (family, friend, significant other), depressive symptoms, and anxious symptoms.
  • Control variables included age, gender, verbal IQ, and ADHD symptoms.

Main Results:

  • Motor skills indirectly influenced depressive symptoms through perceived family support.
  • No indirect effect was found via friend or significant other support.
  • Motor skills did not indirectly affect anxious symptoms through any social support domain.

Conclusions:

  • Family support acts as a mediator for the relationship between motor skills and depressive symptoms.
  • Findings partially support the Elaborated Environmental Stress Hypothesis, highlighting a specific pathway for depressive symptoms.
  • The study underscores the protective role of family support against depressive symptoms in adolescents with motor skill deficits.
