Document Summary

Lecture 17: development of temperament during infancy and toddlerhood. Parent report or interviews can be biased. Research context (in home or in a lab, what are the effects?)

Uninhibited, sociable: react positively, approach new stimuli, low heart rates, stress hormones and stress symptoms, higher left hemisphere frontal cortex activity. Temperament develops with age ; most behavior patterns emerge as humans grow and develop. Long-term prediction from early temperament is best achieved after age 3. Many factors can influence temperament, including the biological systems on which temperament is based, effortful control, and parenting experiences. Parents relationship and interpretation of their children. Parents view each child as unique and different. The practices that parents employ are influenced by these perceptions.
