A man's identity is an outcome of the interaction between sociological, psychological, historical, and biological impacts. It springs from the person's endeavors to keep up a feeling of congruity as well as personal uniqueness in the midst of shifting developmental tasks and unexpected events in life and acquire a sense of oneness with the group. Another approach to hypothesize identity is by depicting the characteristics of people who have obtained a strong sense of individual identity. The interest of developmental psychology in the development of identity arises from the seminal work of Erikson titled Identity: Youth and Crisis. In ...

The development of healthy lifecycle during childhood and adolescence will cast the mold for a similar lifestyle through the life span. Prevention of disease and rapid recovery from illness at all ...

A mental thinking process directs daily human activities. The mental development of a person involves the mind encompassing perceptions, images, and languages and plans to inform the knowledge and comprehension process (Burton, 2015). The knowledge process involves gaining understanding knowing, thinking, remembering, judging and problem-solving. This development of the mind is referred to as cognition (Burton, 2015). The cognitive development process has been explained by different theories; among these theories are Jean Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development and Lev Vygotsky Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development (Burton, 2015). Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories provide insight on how children ...

Introduction

Proper environmental exposure is essential to the development of a child. In fact, lack thereof compromises their intellectual growth, which may have adverse impacts to their adulthood. As such, controversies have arisen on the influence of the society on the cognitive development of a child. Some maintain that the environment and society an individual is exposed to during their infancy contributes to their overall cognitive development while others dispute this claim. For starters, Vygotsky’s theory stresses that social interaction has an indispensable role in the elaboration of an infant’s cognitive abilities (Rochester, 2015). Contrastingly, Piaget’s theory ...

Introduction

Old age marks the end of the human life cycle and involves surpassing or nearing the set life expectancy of people. Most states have set the life expectancy of persons to be between 60 and 65 years, and this marks the termination of many life cycles. At this particular stage, we have reduced regenerative abilities as opposed to young people. Our bodies have the capacity to dispose and destroy worn out cells at a faster rate, but this is not the case in the old age where all life processes have ultimately slowed down. Bronfenbrenner, suggests that our environment ...

<Institution> Air, food, water, shelter, clothing – these are the basic things that humans need in order to live. However, there are other needs that must be met for the complete fulfilment of human existence. In 1943, Abraham Maslow proposed the Hierarchy of Needs, a five-stage model that shows the different needs that humans are motivated to achieve (McLeod, 2014). Based on this model, people are motivated to fulfil the lower level needs first before they desire to fulfill the higher level needs. This hierarchy begins with the biological and physiological needs, which includes “air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, ...

Abstract Development is the sequence of transition that occurs over an individual's life span. A number of well-known psychologists, such as Jean Piaget, Erick Erickson, and Sigmund Freud, identify development as a progression of stages. The different theories of stages of development have several major premises. First, development is disconnected, with subjectively and conditionally distinctive abilities developing in every stage. Second, stages are connected to age progression. And, third, individuals move from one stage to the next in a particular sequence, with every stage depending on abilities achieved in the preceding stage. This paper is an analysis of an ...

Purpose Statement

Lying cannot be prevented because it will be done even when people are not aware (Xu, Bao, Fu, Talwar, & Lee, 2010). The complexity of the human mind has made it possible to tell lies especially when the situation will favor it. As such, lying is done in order to achieve a goal which cannot be accomplished by telling the truth (Lee, 2013). In fact, it is one of the abilities of humans that separate them from other animals (Van, 1991). Depending on its usage, lies and deceptions can cause harm especially when used to other people.

Psychology Literature Review

Literature Review While many children are born with a proverbial clean slate, this is obviously not the case for all children. When it comes to developmental psychology, there are many children that are born with some nasty genetic precursors or other issues innate to what is passed on from their parents and this leads to some challenges even in the best of circumstances. Such a situation calls for what Ellignsen, Baker, Blacher and Crnic (2014) refer to as “resilient parenting”. Indeed, they state right off the top that there are immense and immeasurable benefits to efficacious parenting and this ...

Attachment theory provides an explanation for the relationship between a parent and a child influences subsequent development.

It was found that these young children were exceedingly reliant on their mothers for comfort, protection, nutrition and ...

The Issue

The Children and Young Persons Act of 1963 provides ten years as the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) for England and Wales (Goldson, 2013, p.113). This implies that for more than half a century, the exposure of children who reach ten to the law's full force has been much the same way as adults. Children as young as ten years are being convicted of crimes and subjected to a police investigation. In this regard, they may end up having a criminal record for life. England and Wales' MACR is the lowest in Europe. It also fails to consider developmental psychology ...

Abstract

Human development is an area that has been one of the most discussed areas of study in the last one century. Cognitive development of a person from childhood days to adult years was studied extensively by a Swedish psychologist Jean Piaget. He is known as the father of cognitive development theories. His four stages of cognitive development, sensori-motor, pre-operational, concrete, and formal, are still considered to be the foundation of the cognitive development process. Piaget’s theory does not touch upon why individuals develop at a different rate or why there are different developmental stages. Vygotsky, on the other hand, proposed a completely ...

Whenever people start talking about raising a child, there are always two points of view. One is that the boys are easier to be raised; the second one is that the girls are much easier to deal with. But it’s not the question of which path is easier, they are both kind of difficult, the point is that they are challenging in different ways. According to Greer “Masculinity is to maleness as femininity is to femaleness” and that says that maleness is a natural condition (sex), and masculinity is the cultural contrast, something that can be influenced and changed.

Psychological analysis by Erikson indicated that children are born with a brain that is in the tabula rasa status. That is, they do not know anything. Practically, their brains are like a brand new book with so many blank pages. However, the experiences that they face in life act as the writings which fill the book. This is the reason as to why it is believed that children’s brain development is greatly affected by the environment, besides the genetic information of the child. In other words, the aspect of nature and nurture seems to play a major role in ensuring child ...

This paper aims to argue regarding the effectiveness of corporal punishment. Students are considered the future of a nation.
