PSYC 5100 EXAM 1 (UGA) QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
Necessity of Child-specific models - ANSWER -Long term outcomes
-early development = later development
-Rates
-Potential moderators
1. age
2. culture (asians are more shy; western's speak their minds)
3. sex (male vs. female)
Determining disorder - ANSWER -Intensity
(nervous before a show or vomiting)
-Frequency
(always vs. sometimes [traumatic event])
-Duration
(how long? why?)
Development - ANSWER "Active dynamic process in which the meanings attributed to
experience alter their consequences, and the notion of individual pathways that diverge
in both their origins and outcomes."
,Developmental Psychopathology - ANSWER "the study of the origins and course of
individual patterns of behavioral maladaptation, whatever the age of onset, whatever the
cases, whatever the transformations in behavioral manifestation, and however complex
the course of the developmental pattern may be."
>psychopathology- deviation from normal development
Development gone awry can include: - ANSWER Quantitative difference
-developmental delay
-regression
-asynchrony
-precocity
Qualitative differences
-autism on a continuum
Adaptational failure
-starts kindergarten and after a few months still isn't adjusting
Central DP concepts:
Organizational perspective - ANSWER organizational perspective
-Holism
(domains of development are all interrelated)
Atypical and Typical development - ANSWER Continuum between normal and abnormal
, Risk and Protective Factors - ANSWER -outcomes result from risk and protective factors
operating over time
-child's personal vulnerability or resiliency affects the significance of these factors
-POVERTY is the biggest risk factor
Developmental Pathways - ANSWER Trajectories, or lines of development, progressing
and changing over time
Equifinality - ANSWER notion that there are many different ways to reach an outcome
Traumatic events, insecure attachment, parent socialization, temperament -> Anxiety
Multifinality - ANSWER notion that there are many different outcomes from the same
starting point
inhibited temperament -> anxiety, conduct disorder, introvert anxious, adaptation
Developmental Tree - ANSWER amount of change along the way is always constrained
by the child's development
Research Strategies in DP - ANSWER -Longitudinal Research
*the same children are studied at different ages or periods of development
-Retrospective studies
*a sample of people is identified at the current time and asked for information relating to
