Document Summary

Chapter 4: entering the social world: socioemotional development in infancy. Identify erikson"s first two stages of psychosocial development. Explain how infants form emotional attachments to their mother, father, and other significant people in their lives. Describe the different types of attachment relationships, how they arise, and their consequences. List some determinants of the quality of attachment relationships. Discuss whether attachment is jeopardized when parent of infants are employed outside the home. Recall erik erikson"s theory of psychosocial development, from chapter 1. Each stage represents a crisis that must be resolved for development to progress. Infancy and toddlerhood encompass the first two stages. Trust forms when parents meet the child"s needs: mistrust forms when parents fail in some way to meet the child"s needs. Ideally, the child develops hope: hope: according to erikson, an openness to new experience tempered by wariness that occurs when trust and mistrust are in balance.
