It is further subdivided into branches like child psychology, adolescent, adult and old age psychology. Development psychologists try to understand complex behaviours by studying their beginning and the orderly ways in which they change or develop over the lifespan.
- 2. GROWTH AND DELEVOPMENT 10 mints GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT • Development means a progressive series of changes that occur as a result of maturation and learning. • Growth occurs due to metabolic processes, implies a quantitative change or increase in size. PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT 10 mints PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT • Development is continuous • Early development is more critical than later development. • Development is the product of maturation and learning. • Development follows an orderly direction. • The developmental pattern has predictable characteristics. • All children follow a similar
- 3. developmental pattern. • Development proceeds from general to specific responses. • Different areas develop at different rates. • There are individual differences in development FACTORS INFLUENCING DEVELOPMENT 5 mints FACTORS INFLUENCING DEVELOPMENT 1.Biological or internal Factors: • Heredity or genetic characteristics • Sex of the individual • Hormones • Temperament 2.Environmental or External Factors: • Prenatal Environment • Family Environment • School environment • Neighbourhood • Culture 3.Natural / man-made events: • Wars, earthquake • Epidemics 4.Personal life
- 4. events: • Accidents • Business loss, divorce or death of a parent DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS: 5 mints DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS: • Occur at various developmental stages which must be achieved for optimal development. PRENATAL STAGE: • Physical growth is most rapid in any person’s lifespan in this period. It consists of 3 stages. 1.Germinal stage (growth of zygote and implantation in the walls of the uterus) 2.Embryonic stage ( end of the second week to the end of the eighth week- rapid growth and differentiation of body systems) 3.Foetal stage ( changes in the body form and organs assume their specialised
- 5. functions, this stage ends with birth) • Vulnerability to environmental influences like drugs, radiation, malnutrition and disease is also great in the stage. • Mother’s age below 16 years and over 35 years are at high risk for miscarriages, premature births and birth defects. • Mother’s age above 40 years have a higher risk of Down syndrome INFANCY • The period of infancy begins with birth and lasts for 1 year. • The infant is called a neonate for the first 4 weeks after birth. • During the first 12 months the infant shows very rapid motor development and learns to sit, stand and begins to walk. • Infant weighs triple
- 6. from birth weight by 1 year • Length increases by almost 50 percent from birth. • Development of the child is complex and varied. • Infant shows several reflexes and earning perceptual activities that involves active exploration. • Visual perception develops rapidly, so that the child can make finer discrimination. • Even sixth month old infants have implicit and explicit memory. Children in Hospital: • Very small children cannot bear to be separated from parents for long. • Bowlby (1951) argued strongly that disturbances in mental health and personality development resulted from maternal deprivation. • There
- 7. is strongly evidence that very small children suffer from a sense of loss, mourning and grief when away from their mothers Role of Nurse: • Young adults are rarely hospitalised, usually for childbirth, injuries or any accident or any problems in digestive tract or genitourinary tract. • Have to teach and assistance in handling babies. • Explain the personality characteristics required for parental figure and that should be respected. • Explanation of procedures. • Assist with problem solving • Help the couples to achieve intimacy with each other.
- 8. Relevance of group Psychology for Nurses: • While most nurses care for one patient at a time, public health nurses care for entire populations. • Public health education can be given to improve group behaviour. • Nurses have to create sense of belongingness • Teamwork is much important in case of hospitalised patients. • Nurses can suggest the availability of support groups to patients and also motivate caregivers in the family to join such groups. • Successful nurse leaders are role models for their junior nurses. • Good nursing leadership will definitely influence the
- 9. quality of patient care in hospital. SUMMARY Developmental psychologists study human growth and development over the lifespan, including physical, cognitive, social, intellectual, perceptual, personality and emotional growth. Developmental psychologists working in colleges and universities tend to focus primarily on research or teaching. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the developmental psychopathology perspective views adjustment and
- 10. development as a dynamic, cumulative result of the reciprocal influences between child, family, and ecological characteristics across time. Development does not just involve the biological and physical aspects of growth, but also the cognitive and social aspects associated with development throughout life. By better understanding how and why people change and grow, we can then apply this knowledge to helping people live up to their full potential. BIBILOGRAPHY Benjamin, Jr., L. T. (2000).
