Question

1-Describe Erickson’s stage of industry vs inferiority 2-What is the impact of different family types on middle childhood psychosocial development 3-How do peers, TV, and social media influence middle childhood

Answer 1

Ans)1) During the industry versus inferiority stage, children become capable of performing increasingly complex tasks. As a result, they strive to master new skills. Children who are encouraged and commended by parents and teachers develop a feeling of competence and belief in their abilities.

2) As a relatively autonomous process—one that is largely independent of the history of the parent-child relationship but that has an impact on the relationship. For such changes as physical growth, this is a reasonable picture. For other aspects of development, age-related changes are a. joint product of organismic development and the cumulative effects of earlier experience, with prior parent-child interaction being a significant portion of that experience. How the two forces are weighted in bringing about developmental change is an important research issue in itself, one about which we cannot generalize at present.

3) Children and adolescents spend more time with media than they do in any other activity except for sleeping – an average of seven hours a day. Research has found that media can influence children's beliefs and behaviors in terms of violence and aggression, sex, substance abuse, obesity and eating disorders.
