The document discusses several theories of human development: - Nature vs nurture and whether heredity or environment has a greater influence - Continuity vs discontinuity, whether development occurs through gradual or distinct changes - Stability vs change, whether early experiences determine development or allow change - The theories of Skinner, Erickson, and lifespan development are reviewed The key point is that all the theories interact in complex ways to influence a person's development, rather than any single factor alone determining development. Nature and nurture, as well as the other dichotomies, work together in producing traits rather than contributing independently.
Issues on human development
- 1. Issues on Human Development BY: MARVIN ROTAS PAYABYAB
- 2. 1. Heredity exerts a greater influence on human development than environment. 2. What has been experienced in the earlier stages of development can longer be changed. 3. From the perspective of life span developmentalist, later experiences the key determinants of a person’s development. 4. The development of a person depends on their environment. 5. The development of a person needs the interaction of different AGREE DISAGREE
- 5. 1. Give some of your qualities that you think were nurtured? 2.Give some of your qualities that you think were natured? 3. What do you think is the most significant in the human development of people? Why? TIME FOR SHARING!
- 6. CONTINUITY There is gradual and increasing changes happening. Supported by Skinner’s operant conditioning. DISCONTINUITY The change is distinct changes happening. Supported by Erickson’s PsychosocialTheory of human development.
- 9. 1.Are you for continuity or discontinuity? Why? Cite a personal experience to support your answer. TIME FOR SHARING!
- 10. STABILITY First experience has made us. CHANGE First experience develops us into someone different from who were at an earlier point in development.
- 11. 1.Share some experiences that help you change or be stable from a first experience. (e.g. poverty, abuse, bullying etc.) TIME FOR SHARING!
- 12. Which is the most significant in all the theories presented to the human development?
- 14. The key to the development is the INTERACTION of all the theories in the human development rather than one factor alone. They operate together to produce person’s intelligence, nature, height, weight etc. Our development is not 50%-50%. It must cooperate to each other.
- 15. 1. Heredity exerts a greater influence on human development than environment. 2. What has been experienced in the earlier stages of development can no longer be changed. 3. From the perspective of life span developmentalist, later experiences are the key determinants of a person’s development. 4. The development of a person depends on their environment. 5. The development of a person needs the interaction of different theories. AGREE DISAGREE
- 16. The interaction of heredity and environment is so extensive that to ask which is more important, nature or nurture, is like asking which is more important to rectangle, height or width. -William Greenough
