Book Synopsis Social Competence in Developmental Perspective by : B.H. Schneider
Download or read book Social Competence in Developmental Perspective written by B.H. Schneider and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What determines the focus of a researcher's interest, the sources of inspiration for a study, or the variables scrutinized? If we were to examine the antecedents of these decisions, they would surely emerge as accidents of circumstance--the personal experiences of the researcher, the inspiration of early mentors, the influence of contemporary colleagues--all tempered by the intellectual currents that nurture the researcher's hypotheses. Among the accidents that mold the careers of researchers is geographic location. The culture in which a research program emerges helps determine both its very subject and its method. The primary purpose of this book is to assist those interested in the scientific study of children's social competence in transcending the boundaries imposed both by geography and by selective exposure to the highly diverse schools of thought that have led to interest in this field. Most of these ideas were presented and exchanged at an Advanced Study Institute entitled "Social Competence in Developmental Perspective" held in Savoie, France, in July 1988. This Institute was attended by scholars from France, England, Northern Ireland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Canada, the United States and Brazil. Those who participated will recognize that the metamorphosis from lecture to chapter has necessitated many changes. In order to accommodate the reader who may be unfamiliar with the field, more attention has been paid here to identifying the theoretical contexts of the research described.

Download or read book Children's Peer Relations and Social Competence written by Gary W. Ladd and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of peer relationships in child and adolescent development by tracking research findings from the early 1900s to the present. Dividing the research into three generations, the book describes what has been learned about children's peer relations and how children's participation in peer relationships contributes to their health, adjustment, and achievement. Gary W. Ladd reviews and interprets the investigative focus and findings of distinct research eras to highlight theoretical or empirical breakthroughs in the study of children's peer relations and social competence over the last century. He also discusses how this information is relevant to understanding and promoting children's health and development. In a final chapter, the author appraises the major discoveries that have emerged during the three research generations and analyzes recent scientific agendas and discoveries in the peer relations discipline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to express, understand, and regulate emotions is a crucial element in individual functioning and interpersonal interaction.

What do toddlers and preschoolers understand about their own and other people's feelings? What are the connections between emotions, socialization, and healthy relationships? How do changes in other areas of development, like cognition, fuel emotional competencies? What problems ensue when emotional development is delayed, and how can they be ameliorated? Including numerous case studies, original findings, and an extensive review of the literature, the book sheds light on the emotional experience of the very young and points toward exciting directions for future research.

Book Synopsis Children and Mental Health Talk by : Joyce Lamerichs
Download or read book Children and Mental Health Talk written by Joyce Lamerichs and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2019-12-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely collection explores how children display social competence in talking about their mental health and wellbeing. The authors analyse recorded conversations of young people’s interactions with professionals in which they disclose particular mental health concerns and their ways of coping, drawing on insights from ethnomethodology, conversation analysis and discursive psychology. Across a diverse range of institutional and international settings, chapters examine how children and young people employ interactional strategies to demonstrate their competence. The research reveals how young people resist or protect claims that they lack competence, especially in contexts where they might be seen as seeking or asking for support, or when their (dis)abilities and mental health is explicitly up for discussion. Each chapter concludes with a reflection on the methodological, professional and practical implications of the findings, highlighting areas where future research is necessary and addressing the empirical findings from the authors professional vision, facilitating innovative dialogue between conversation analytic research and professional vision. This book will be of great value to academics and professionals interested in how children express themselves, particularly in relation to their mental wellbeing.
Book Synopsis Preschoolers' Social Competence by : Erica Leavonne Gehrke
Download or read book Preschoolers' Social Competence written by Erica Leavonne Gehrke and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between supportive parenting and preschoolers' social competence was investigated. First, did mothers who identify themselves as more supportive have children whom they identify as being more socially competent? Second, did mothers who identify themselves as more supportive have children whom teachers identify as being more socially competent? Third, did mothers and teachers report similar levels of social competence for each child? Fourth, was maternal education or annual income associated with supportive parenting? Fifth, was maternal education or annual income associated with children's levels of social competence? And, lastly, were girls identified by teachers and/or mothers as more socially competent than boys? Questionnaires were administered to both mothers and teachers of preschool-aged children (three- and four-year-olds). Mothers completed the (a) Iowa Social Competency Scale-Mother Form, (b) a parenting questionnaire comprised of questions from the Parenting Dimensions Inventory and the Parent Practices Scale, and (c) a demographic questionnaire about their children and themselves. Teachers completed an edited version of the Iowa Social Competency Scale-Mother Form that included only questions relevant to a child-care environment and a demographic questionnaire about themselves and their classrooms. Six research questions were addressed. Significant correlations were found between (a) supportive parenting and mother ratings of social competence and (b) mother and teacher ratings of target children's social competence. A discussion of the findings and implications for future research are provided.
Book Synopsis From Neurons to Neighborhoods by : National Research Council
Download or read book From Neurons to Neighborhoods written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-11-13 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.
