11 years
in peer interaction, what does cooperation involve?
having a joint goal with different, but flexible roles and are committed to joint goal
when does cooperation in peer interaction develop
1-2years and set stage for later interaction (infant start to prefer peer interactions)
what is cooperation belived to be a result of (evolutionary)
species-specific, is not seen in chimps
what is evidence of cooperation, in infant
when partner stop play child attempts to re-engage = evidence of shared goal
outline Warneken (2006) task for studying cooperation
2 people have to do same tasks and working together (holding end of sheet to shake, trampoline, tube with handle)
outline how chimps show cooperation (Warneken)
sometimes performs one or other roles in trapdoor task but don’t re-engage, no evidence of shared goals
at what age can social coordination and motivation for joint activities be present
2nd year, which is showing reengagement
name the 5 stages of Crick & Dodge social information processing circle of explanations of peer status
- encode cues of own thoughts/others behaviour
- interpret cues (attribute cause, intent, evaluate goal, past performance and self/other)
- clarify goal
- review possible actions
- decide on action (review possible outcomes, evaluate likely action and self-efficacy)
apply Crick & Dodge social information processing circle to a child in the playground wanting to play basketball
- encode codes of thought/behaviour= notice wants to paly, sees other
- interpret cues= see if they seem friendly and it looks easy to join
- clarify goal= decide to play basketball
- review possible actions= either directly ask, to gradually try joining in
- decide action= decides to ask
how can Crick & Dodge social information processing circle be tested? (Dodge, 1986 gives evidence)
task 1, child watch video of social interaction with either (a) peer group entry, (b) peer provocation, asked questions relating to each step in SIP model
task 2 (a) child assessed on entry task (join 2 already playing)
task 2(b) peer actually provoke child
found ability on task 1a but not 1b predicted ability for 2a (to ask questions on entering peer-group actually predicted ability of entering peer group)
and also observed child in classrooms
outline sociometric techniques of testing peer interactions
categorising children in accordance of their popularity in classroom
presenting pictures, ask to nominate 3 they like lots, 3 they dont like
put children into categories
define empathy
feeling as other does (see sad person and feel sad)
define sympathy
feeling for other (see sad person, feel concern)
what are “empathys little sisters”
emotional contagion and mimicry
define emotional contagion, give 2 examples
tendency to catch others emotion
babies cry when hear other babies crying
pupillary contagion- pupils expand when hear cry
define mimicry
tendency to automatically synchronise affective expressions, vocalisations, postures, movements with those of another person
what is like me hypothesis for mimicry
we innately see others as being similar to us, and understand their behaviours/cognition as being similar to us
(however could not be innate but just learnt v quick)
define moral reasoning
prescriptive judgements of justice, rights, welfare pertaining to how people ought to relate to each other
define moral systems
interlocking sets of values, norms etc work together to suppress or regulate selfishness to make social lives possible
includes pluralism, relativism
what is pluralism in terms of moral systems
no unifying principle but many values (care, loyalty, purity)
