Questions
• Describe Greenspan and Shanker's (G&S) description of the transformation in emotional and intellectual growth.
• How do they relate to Erikson's (E) levels? • Using G&S (or E), identify times in your own
development that correspond to their levels? Describe times in the development of someone younger than yourself and someone older than yourself in terms of Greenspan and Shanker's levels.
• If appropriate, use the "developmental highlights" video from class to illustrate your discussion.

Erikson (ages and interpretation)
![Page 11: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Example
• Emotional and Social Development in Early Childhood (bananas)
![Page 12: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Temperament• Temperament: underlying, biologically based
(heritable) individual differences in the behavioral characteristics of the individual that is constant over time and across situations
• Personality-to-be
![Page 13: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Temperament
• Dispositions– Reactivity and regulation
• More multidimensional and enduring than emotion

Genes and environment
• Genetic individual differences can be reflected in some physiological systems– reactivity in sympathetic and central nervous system
• Individual temperamental characteristics interact with the child’s environment
– level of stress in home, sensitivity and adaptability of social partners, cultural beliefs and values
• To influence attachment, sociability, and adjustment.
![Page 15: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How or what of behavior
• Rhythmicity of biological functions, approach to or withdrawal from new stimuli, adaptability, distractibility, activity level, quality of mood, persistence or attention span, intensity of reaction, and threshold of of responsiveness (Thomas, Chess, et al.)
• Activity level, soothability, duration of orientation, smiling and laughter (positive reactivity), fear, and distress to limitations (frustrations) (Rothbart, 1981, 1986; Derryberry, 1981)
• Activity level, emotionality, and sociability (Buss & Plomin)
![Page 16: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Temperament and Emotion
• Two perspectives on the same phenomena?
• Similar behavioral measures
• Exciting, emerging literature on their correspondence
• But differences as well• (A final project?)
![Page 17: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Temperament conceived in more emotional terms
• with increasingly sophisticated behavioral and autonomic measures
• with attention to genetic basis
• yielding surprising findings– (1/3 of shy 2 year olds are so no longer at 4
years)
![Page 18: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Emotion
• Structuralist Theory: The physiological (heart rate, sweaty palms), subjective (level of distraction) , cognitive appraisal ( threats, the unexpected), and expressive components (facial expressions) that accompany such feelings as fear, anger, joy, distress, guilt, happiness.
![Page 19: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Emotion
• Involves expression, understanding, & regulation
• Shaped by cultural beliefs– Behavioral standards
• Person-environment transactions (socialization)
• Empathy & emotion contagion
• Display rules vs. ER

Structuralist views
• Established emotions as respectable, portraying them as– Biologically based– “discrete, coherent constellations of
phsyiological, subjective, and expressive activity” (Thompson, 1993, p. 374)
– yield discrete emotions (fear, anger, joy)– micro-analytic coding because – Face = emotion.
![Page 21: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
But emotion is functional
• Functionalist theory: Emotion is the person’s attempt or readiness to establish, maintain, or change the relation between the person and the environment on on matters of significance to that person (Saarni et al., 1998).
• Emotion is associated with goal-attainment, social relationships, situational appraisals, action tendencies, self-understanding, self regulation, etc.
![Page 22: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Functionalist views
• Emotion has to do with goals– changing and maintaining relationship with the
environment.
• Emotions come in families defined by these goals – not by facial expression, or brain activity
• Research focus – socialization of emotional experience
– acquisition of emotional competence (Saarni),
– secondary emotions such as pride.
![Page 23: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Critique of functionalism
• Overly broad
• Circular reasoning– How do you measure goals? – Or final causality
• Multimodal measurement
• Measurement of impact of emotional signal– Similar to ethology
![Page 24: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Emotion regulation
• Modifying emotions to attain goals• Sees emotions as
– flexible not stereotypical– functional not disruptive– responsive not rigid
• E.g., Impulse control, anger modulation, embarrassment, gift receipt.
– Similar to general movement of field in ‘80-90s and to functionalism in particular.
![Page 25: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Critique of emotion regulation• Inhibition or maintenance/intensification?
• Self or other regulation?
• What’s emotion and what’s its regulation?– Does functionalism wish to unite concepts?
– Is a regulated emotion the same emotion?
– Avoid premature judgements of good emotion regulation before we know its normative development and how to measure its adequacy
![Page 26: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Structural/Functional synthesis• Structural insight.
– Discrete or no, emotional processes have an internal dynamic
• happiness wanes, frustrated love is not neutral; sadness loves company
• Functional insight– Emotions are inherently relational. – And usually but not always functional
• Methodological synthesis. – Detailed attention to face and other expressive
modalities, and their perception by others.
![Page 27: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
ATTACHMENT
• The Big Question: How do early experiences of relationships impact later relationships?– Infancy to childhood
– Infancy to adulthood
– Infancy to parenthood
• Through behavioral and then internal representations of what can be expected from relationships
![Page 28: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Internal representations
• New research based on premise that individuals construct belief systems and interpret (and sometimes construct) reality based on those beliefs.
![Page 29: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Self
• Grounded in temperament– Life choices
• Awareness/representation– Internal working model– Provides coherence to experiences
• Ingroup/outgroup distinctions• Elements of the self
– Self-perceptions– Memory– Self-esteem
![Page 30: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What is Self(“me”)
• Self is comprised of the “I-self”– active participant, contributor to experiences
• And the ‘me’– self-evaluations
– and the social self.
• With some things in between– self-representation,
– autobiograghical personal narrative,
![Page 31: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Infant self
• Early. Through sensorimotor interactions with the environment and social interactions, infants acquire the capabilities that allow then to develop a sense of self
• Middle Infancy: Social scope extends to peer relationships. Children compare themselves to other peers. Evaluation of strengths and weaknesses takes place.
![Page 32: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Early Childhood Self
• Infant-caregiver interactions become crucial infant’s self-representation; self-evaluations based upon parents; descriptive physical and psychological characteristics
![Page 33: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Adolescence and Beyond:
• Development of abstract thinking allows the teenager to reconcile conflicting, inconsistencies in themselves and others. Experimentation in search of the true self is undertaken. An identity is formed/formulated.
• The “self” is continually shaped and developed.
• Personality: Different experiences throughout the lifespan, negatively or positively go into shaping the individual’s personality.
![Page 34: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Big Picture: Psychosocial ecology of human development
• Physical and social circumstances are likely to be the among the strongest predictors of socioemotional development– divorce/remarriage, beginning and changing
schools, economic upturns/downturns -
• Are these direct or indirect effects?– The emotional impact of the divorce or the
downturn in standard of living?
![Page 35: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Parenting
• Different parenting styles have different outcomes
• Authoritative style thought to be optimal
![Page 36: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Parenting: Current view
• What particular features of a parenting style - including affective behavior - produces outcomes in particular circumstances.– More flexibility for older adolescents– Group differences
• More restrictive caregiving is seen as more loving and has more positive outcomes among African-American teens (Mason’s work)
![Page 37: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Parenting and emotion
• Try to achieve goals with/for offspring is very emotional!– Discipline strategies are modified by perception
of child’s temperament.– The actual process is bidirectional
• Mutual expectations impact next interactions so that relationships impact relationships
![Page 38: Social and emotional development An Overview based on Thompson (1993; 1999; 2000) PSY341 Vertus and Messinger](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070308/551bee58550346c3588b6464/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
In Defense of Parenthood: Children Are Associated With
More Joy Than Misery • S. Katherine Nelson, Kostadin Kushlev, Tammy English, Elizabeth W. Dunn, and Sonja Lyubomirsky
• Does having children make people happier? Participants were prompted to report their level of positive and negative emotions five times a day for 7 days. Researchers also collected information on participants' level of global happiness and depressive symptoms. The researchers found that participants with children reported higher levels of global well-being, fewer depressive symptoms, and more positive emotions than did nonparents. Parenthood was more consistently linked to increases in well-being in men. A follow-up study also found that parents reported more positive emotions and a stronger sense of meaning in life when taking care of their children. These findings run contrary to the widely held belief that children are a source of reduced wellbeing.

Policy Implications
• Researchers can’t hide in the lab, but they should not be overly prescriptive
• They should understand that policy can have unintended repercussions for diverse parties– attachment and daycare– adoption– maternal drug use
