Psychology of Infancy and Childhood

1. Most developmental scientists agree that nature and nurture interact to influence development. explain how sickle cell anemia being a genetic disorder illustrates the interaction of genes and context.

2. Mention two of the most common Infant Mental Health related disorders- explain them.

3. Suppose you were creating a program to support pregnant women and their families in delivering healthy babies. Identify factors that you might address at each level of Bronfenbrenner’s model (Chapter 1). Discuss your program and how it may help promote healthy infants.

4. Theo pushes into a crawling position onto all fours and rocks back and forth. Theo will soon crawl, about 2 months later than the other babies in the childcare center. Much smaller than his peers, Theo is new to the childcare center, recently adopted from an overcrowded orphanage in a developing country. At first tiny Theo didn’t eat much. The adults around him worried about his poor eating habits and lack of growth. Soon, however, Theo became comfortable in his new, affectionate and nurturing home and he began to grow quickly.

  •  How do motor skills unfold during infancy? Should Theo’s parents worry about his progress? Why or why not?
  • Theo’s mother worries about how his early experiences of deprivation might influence Theo’s brain development. Discuss processes of brain development and the role of experience in development.
  • What can she do to help Theo?

Journal Entry 4: Early childhood social and emotional development

Raise your child to the age of 4 years, 10 months, then select one of the following questions to respond to in your journal. Make sure you reference different events in your child’s life, using your textbook and other reliable sources for support. Each journal entry should be a minimum of 2 pages, double-spaced (about 500 words). Times New Roman font size 12

  1. How is your child progressing on early childhood issues, such as learning household rules, learning to follow routines, listening to you, developing self control, and learning to get along with others? Does your child have any behavior or emotional problems at this point? Why do you think these problems are occurring and what are you doing about them?

OR

  • How might your child’s development have been different if she/he was raised by people with a different socioeconomic, ethnic, or cultural background? Base your answer on specific evidence of SES/cultural differences from the textbook and class lectures.

Note, if your cultural background differs from the predominant culture in the United States, how might you have raised the child differently or made different decisions based on your own culture (e.g., being stricter or more lenient, emphasis on assertive/independent vs. cooperative behavior, emphasis on family relationships vs. relationships outside the family)?

Biology, as applied to the study of brain functions, is an important part of understanding behavior. Learning the anatomy of the brain, the nervous system, and the endocrine system provides a person in the field of mental health with a basis for researching and treating disorders. In this week’s assessment, you look at the biological aspects of a neurological, psychological, or neurodevelopmental disorder.

Imagine you have been asked to write a research article on the biological and biochemical aspects of a specific mental disorder for publication in a psychological journal.

Select and research a mental disorder that falls into one of the following categories of disorders:

  • Neurological
  • Psychological
  • Neurodevelopmental

Write a 700- to 1,050-word article analyzing the biological and biochemical aspects of the mental disorder you selected. Address the following in your article:

  • Identify common symptoms associated with the disorder.
  • Describe the neurophysiological underpinnings of the disorder.
  • Provide 3 therapeutic interventions used to treat the disorder, and describe how each treatment helps to reduce or manage the symptoms of the disorder.
  • Examine contemporary attitudes toward the 3 treatments you selected.
  • Based on your research, identify an evidence-based approach to treating the disorder.

Final Project Guidelines
In the Final Project for this course, due by Day 7 of Week 11, you will demonstrate your understanding of—as well as apply and critically evaluate—the major concepts presented in this course.

For your Final Project, you will apply concepts and approaches presented in the course to a scenario featuring an offender with multiple related factors (e.g., gender, ethnicity, type of offense, and age).

Your Final Project must be presented as a 12- to 15-page (not including references, title page, or abstract), double-spaced, APA-formatted paper. Please use 10 or 12 point, Times New Roman or Courier font. Reference citations should come from peer-reviewed journals, reputable periodicals, and non- commercial Web sites. Please note that Wikipedia is not considered a scholarly reference and is not accepted as a citable source.

In your Final Project, you must:

  • Identify which scenario you selected to use for your Final Project.
  • Explain the offender category(ies) that concurs with the scenario client and discern the treatment considerations inherent in this category(ies).
  • Describe the multicultural factors (e.g., age, gender, and ethnicity) evident in the scenario and explain how these factors affect treatment and treatment approach(es).
  • Describe the treatment approach(es) and/or programs you would use with the offender and explain why.
  • Describe any legal and ethical issues that might be involved in the treatment of your selected offender and explain how you would address these issues.
  • Describe the model you would use to measure treatment outcomes and explain why you selected this model.

Your Final Project will be graded on a 20-point scale and is worth 30% of your final grade.
Although the Final Project is not to be submitted until Day 7 of Week 11, you should become familiar with the project requirements and have them in mind as you proceed through the course. Many of the Discussions and Application

Assignments relate to and can be of use to you in writing your Final Project.
The Final Project will be evaluated according to all four indicators in the Application Assignment and Final Project Writing Rubric, located in Course Info. Information on scholarly writing may be found in the APA Publication Manual and at the Walden Writing Center Web site.

CNL-530 Topic 6: Sexual Development Worksheet

Directions: In the table below, list at least two aspects of sexual development that are relevant to each stage of development. An example has been provided for you. Each life stage section should be at least 50 words in length. Include a minimum of three scholarly sources in your responses and an associated APA reference note for each source at the end of the worksheet.

 

Life Stage Sexual Development
Ex.

In Utero

 1.      Ultrasounds have shown evidence that male fetuses have erections (Lehmiller, 2017).

2.      Erections have also been noted in newborns a few hours old (Lehmiller, 2017).
Infancy  

1.      Both male and female infants are capable of sexual response from the moment of birth(Lehmiller, 2017).

2.      Kinsey’s writings include references to both male and female infants engaging in various formsof self- stimulation, such as rubbing or thrusting their genitals against an object, followed bywhat appears to be orgasm(Kinsey, Pomeroy, & Martin,1948; Kinsey, Pomeroy, Martin, &Gebhard,1953).
Early Childhood 1.      “playing doctor,” a game in which children inspect one another’s genitals(Lehmiller, 2017).

2.      childhood same-sex experi-ences are not necessarily indicative of adult sexual orientation and, sometimes, simply reflecttransitory behaviors (Lehmiller, 2017).
Preadolescence 1. curiosity and behavior set in well before puberty begins; however, they tend to increase significantly afterwards

2. Puberty typically begins between ages 10 and 12 and lasts for several years. Girlstend to start puberty a little earlier than boys
Adolescence 1.      Adolescence is a significant life stage because it is when most people develop feelings of sexual attraction for the first time

2.      It is also when most people have their first experience with sexual intercourse and their first romantic relationship
Adulthood 1.      the odds of developing one or more sexual problems increases.

2.      Study after study has found that there is a negative correlation between age and sexual satisfaction, such that the older people get, the less satisfiedthey tend to be

Psychology discussion

1. Women in positions of power often have a difficult time knowing how they should manage their emotions. Too much emotion does not fit the stereotype of a leader, yet no emotion does not fit the stereotype of a woman, so it often feels like a lose–lose battle for women leaders. Look up two recognized leaders in the same field, such as, occupation or government level, one man and one woman, expressing emotion. Are there any articles or pieces of information regarding the reactions of the public when seeing the leader get emotional? Is this consistent with the research from the textbook? Take a look at Forbes top 10 stereotypes about powerful women. Based on this information, what advice would you give a female leader regarding emotion expression?

NOTE: Do not duplicate leaders! When a leader has been mentioned, other students’ answers to this question must use another leader.

Link:

2. Display rules are a culture’s rules for which emotions can be expressed or displayed. List American society’s general display rules for three categories: (1) everyone, (2) women, (3) men. When we think about the full spectrum of human emotion, do these rules make sense? What might be the backlash of a man or woman breaking one of these display rules? How do these display rules compare to other societies and cultures? In what ways do we learn the display rules for our society? What are the implications of these display rules in our society?

3. There are numerous pronouns aside from he/him/his and she/her/hers that people who are nonbinary use. For example, they/them/theirs or ze/hir/hir. Write a brief story that involves the use of a lot of pronouns. Write it using conventional pronouns. Then, rewrite the story using they/them/theirs as the pronouns. Was this easy or difficult and why? What is the importance of using someone’s preferred pronoun (even when they are not in the room with you), particularly if that person is nonbinary?
