Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

8.9K
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

16.5K
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...

Habitat Fragmentation02:31

Habitat Fragmentation

18.2K
Habitat fragmentation describes the division of a more extensive, continuous habitat into smaller, discontinuous areas. Human activities such as land conversion, as well as slower geological processes leading to changes in the physical environment, are the two leading causes of habitat fragmentation. The fragmentation process typically follows the same steps: perforation, dissection, fragmentation, shrinkage, and attrition.

Introspection01:29

Introspection

21
Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

Self-Schemas02:16

Self-Schemas

33.2K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

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

52.7K
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
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Urban Planning

Background:

  • Autonomy is crucial for healthy child development.
  • Urban environments can offer unique opportunities for exploration.
  • Previous research often overlooks the role of unstructured exploration in children's lives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the significance of autonomous exploration for children.
  • To propose a framework for thick description in qualitative research.
  • To understand the outcomes of autonomous exploration on child development.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative research design.
  • Case study of five boys in Raleigh, NC (2002-2006).
  • Framework for thick description including context, social action, cultural context, behavior, and intentionality.

Main Results:

  • Urban wildscapes provided rich contexts for exploration.
  • Attachment and scaffolded autonomy supported exploration.
  • Boys exhibited intentionality driven by individual development and unique experiences.
  • Outcomes included strong friendships and enhanced decision-making confidence.

Conclusions:

  • Preserving urban 'rough edges' is vital for children's healthy development.
  • Autonomous exploration contributes to social and cognitive growth.
  • Qualitative research frameworks can enhance understanding of developmental experiences.
