Humanism
worth of human dignity, concerns, capabilities, rationality
-
Human Development
- Seeks to understand how and why people change/ stay the same over time.
- What are the factors that promote/ inhibit maximizing human functioning & potential?
-
Science
Emperical- based on observations, experience, or experiments; not simply theoretical.
-
Diversity
All kinds of people
-
Connections between change & time
Change/ remain the same over time.
-
5 Characteristics of Development
- Multidirectional
- Multicontextual
- Multicultural
- Multidisciplinary
- Plasticity
-
Multidirectional
Change occurs in every direction. Not straight line. Gains & losses, predictable growth & unexpected transformations are evident
-
Multicontextual
- Many contexts- history, economic, family
- Cohort- same history and cultural shifts
- Socioeconomic Status SES- class
-
Urie Bronfnebrenner
- Systems
- Micro- Immediate
- Exo- local (school/ church)
- Macro-Large social settings
- Chrono- historical
- Meso- Connection between systems
-
Multicultural
- Ethnic-share language & region
- Race- genetic
- Income level
- Subculture
- Culture- patterns from 1 generation to next, a resource of current life/ social group
-
Social Construction
more on shared perceptions than on objective reality
-
Multidisciplinary
- Biosocial Dev.- Body, genetics
- Cognitive Dev.-Thinking/Speech
- Psychosocial Dev.- Personality/Social skills
-
Multidisciplinary Cont.
- Biology
- Psych.
- Phil.

-
Plasticity
- Traits molded
- Durability of identity
-
Scientific Method
- ?
- Dev. Hypothesis
- Test " "- make observations/ experiment/ survey/ case study
- Conclusions
- Make available
- Replication
-
Cross Sectional Research
Not smae age, other similarities
-
Longitudal Research
Dev. ass. of same people over time
-
Cross Sequential research
Cross sectional + longitudal research
-
Good Science
- Qualitative + quantitative
- ethics
- implications of research
