Information Processing Approach

702
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

366
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Sources of Self-Esteem I: Family Experience

232
Self-esteem, a crucial component of psychological development, is significantly shaped by familial experiences. The early parent-child relationship serves as a foundational influence on a child's self-concept, with long-lasting effects extending into adolescence and adulthood.Parental Behaviors and Early Self-Esteem FormationEmpirical studies have identified four principal parental behaviors that foster healthy self-esteem in children. These include expressions of acceptance, affection, and...

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...

Emerging Adulthood

895
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.4K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Area of Science:

  • Child Development
  • Educational Psychology
  • Longitudinal Studies

Background:

  • School attainment is a complex process influenced by academic and behavioral skills developed in middle childhood.
  • Previous research has provided limited, fragmented insights into the long-term impact of these early capacities on educational trajectories.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the associations between averaged middle childhood academic skills, anti-social behaviors, and attention problems with long-term educational outcomes.
  • To provide a comprehensive understanding of how early childhood capacities predict later schooling success.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 20-year longitudinal dataset to analyze the relationships.
  • Controlled for family and individual background factors in statistical models.
  • Examined sibling differences to assess within-family effects.

Main Results:

  • Higher average math and reading achievement in middle childhood were positively associated with later educational attainment.
  • Lower average levels of anti-social behavior problems were also positively linked to subsequent schooling outcomes.
  • Attention problems demonstrated a small association with educational attainment.

Conclusions:

  • Early academic achievement and positive behavior in middle childhood are crucial predictors of long-term educational success.
  • While academic and behavioral factors are significant, attention problems appear to have a less pronounced effect.
  • Sibling analyses suggest that individual differences in these capacities play a role in relative educational attainment within families.
