Other minority groups are similarly disadvantaged through childhood, including those with a disability. Research has shown that disabled people are more likely to live in poverty and less likely to have educational qualifications, even though they have similar aspirations than a peer with no disability. Whilst educational development has a large impact on the development of young people, impacting on their outcomes and life chances, social skills are also imperative in promoting wellbeing in a child’s life, and subsequently, adulthood. Children’s social development can be measured through various criteria, including attention, co-operation, sociability, openness, pro-social behaviour and self regulation. Positive development in these areas has been shown to promote educational attainment through to adulthood,
shame and doubt. “Children who successfully complete this stage feel secure and confident, while those who do not are left with a sense of inadequacy and self-doubt” (Cherry, 2013) If a child can learn things like going to the bathroom and what to eat, he or she eventually develops security. If not, he or she might be an insecure adult in the future. There have been several studies that led to the creation of the 5 factor theory of personality. McCrae and Costa were the first to relate this theory to lifetime personality development.
Bowlby begun to explore this. Bowlby (as cited in Oates, 2005) was inspired by this previous ethological work and was interested in linking such findings with human development (Oates, 2005). Bowlby’s focus was children’s attachment during the critical period and the effect it has on later development. Bowlby was influenced by work of Winnicot. Winnicot’s (1953) work on mothers and infants demonstrated the important for mothers to be emotionally ready to be a ‘good enough mother’ by having tolerance of waiting out a child’s frustration and the confidence in providing satisfaction (Oates, 2005).
The particular news piece portrays teenagers in a negative method by the use of language and structural features. Higgins has written her article in a criticising way in order for the readers to perceive all teens as destructive and out of control. The language features that have been included in the article are, negative emotive language, intensifiers and exaggeration. Whereas, the structural features that were used include the use of bolding specific information and the general order of the information. Due to these factors the article ‘Party crawl turns ugly’ by Kate Higgins, which was published in the Townsville Bulletin is a bias
Case workers, child welfare services, and the psychological community alike have taken an interest as to the impact sibling separation has on an individual child. Sibling relationships are the most enduring of interpersonal ties and serve as important contexts for individual development (East & Khoo, 2005). The researchers wanted only to observe the effect that sibling relationships have on adjustment during tenure in foster care and other factors. A broad sample pool was used and factors such as age spacing, initial placement, duration of maltreatment, kinship vs. certified foster home, caregiver language, and disability were used as elimination (control) factors. This particular study used 78 sibling pairs (after elimination).
John has been showing various behavioral issues as the result of his traumatic situation. His fights at school with other children, violent tantrums, disturbing artwork, and bed wetting are significant signs of PSTD that need treatment. PTSD symptoms are mostly shown through behaviors and require a Behavioral psychological approach for the best chance of treatment and recovery (Foy, 1992). The three most common treatments are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, and medications (Hersen, 2006). Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or CBT is found to be the treatment that has the most profound effects on children (Dattilio & Freeman, 2007).
The criteria for diagnosing DSPD follow the characteristics of the symptoms as well as the inability to follow social norms. Psychopathy is similar to ASPD and DSPD however the traits include deceitful and arrogant tendencies. The trait of deficient affective experience has been shown to be the core deficit of psychopathy (Cooke et al.,2005). It is important; while almost all individuals with a diagnosis of psychopathy would meet the criteria for the diagnosis of ASPD, on about one-third of individuals with a diagnosis of ASPD meet the criteria for psychopathy (Coid, 1998). With this being said, it is estimated that approximately less than one percent of men are diagnosed as psychopaths, but because many people who may have ASPD do not readily volunteer for research there is no real way of estimating the prevalence of
