Self-Concept Comparison to others An unrealistically high self-concept
reduces “effortful control” (trying to control your emotions) – lowers achievement & increases aggression

The me-self “I-self” = I know what I want, I am
Thinks, acts, & feel independently “Me-self” = What do others think of me?
Based on the perception of what others think

Handling Stress Healthy children tend to be resilient to
stress Cope with stressful situations without being
overwhelmed Social support (family, friends, church)
helps deal with stress
![Page 8: 13 - Middle Childhood: Psychosocial Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161bd550346895dd19ccb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cumulative stress Accumulated small daily stresses over
time = more devastating than isolated major stress
Child’s interpretation of the situation is important
![Page 9: 13 - Middle Childhood: Psychosocial Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161bd550346895dd19ccb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Families and children Individual children are influenced by age,
genes, gender, resilience, parents, and home life
Children raised in same home does not = same environment and parenting Parents treat different children differently
Most environmental effects may be from the “nonshared” environment
![Page 10: 13 - Middle Childhood: Psychosocial Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161bd550346895dd19ccb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Family structure and function Structure = Legal & genetic connections of family
members Structures
Nuclear (Husband, wife, and children) Blended (Parents with children from earlier marriages) Extended (Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc.) Polygamous (Multiple spouses)
Function How families act with each other
Function is more important than structure at all ages.

Family functions: Material necessities Learning Self-respect Peer relationships (Friendships) Harmony and stability
Protective, predictable routines
![Page 12: 13 - Middle Childhood: Psychosocial Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161bd550346895dd19ccb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What interferes with family function?
Low income = stress High conflict = stress
Money Child rearing Family roles Physical abuse Emotional abuse
Children need a feeling of harmony

The culture of children Norms, values, beliefs, habits that
characterize children as opposed to an adult Children are their own “in group”
Encourages independence from adults E.g. Don’t be a “tattle-tale” to an adult
![Page 15: 13 - Middle Childhood: Psychosocial Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161bd550346895dd19ccb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

have best friends Learn faster and feel happier with friends Between same sex, age, ethnicity, and
socioeconomic group People who understand and agree with
them

Social awareness Social cognition
Understanding the causes and consequences of social interaction
Crucial for peer acceptance Effortful control = Ability to control your emotions Well-liked children like themselves
See unkind remarks as accidental Does not provoke fear, self-doubt and anger
Rejected children = poor self-concept See unkind remarks as purposefully directed at them Created self-doubt and anger

Bullies and Victims Bullies lack empathy Bullying = repeated attacks

Victims Lonely, abandoned, no good friends Chosen because of their vulnerability
and isolation

Boys = physical aggression Girls target shy soft-spoken girls
Girls = verbal aggression Both sexes use relational aggression and
cyberbullying
![Page 21: 13 - Middle Childhood: Psychosocial Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568161bd550346895dd19ccb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Bullies Socially aware but lack empathy with
victim Skilled at avoiding adult awareness Victims counted on not to resist
effectively
