Section 3 Flashcards
Socialization practices (e.g., parenting styles)
Most important facets of parental behavior that vary in relation to the child, the family and the situational events
Four groups of interaction patterns
Not independent groups, maintain relationships among each other
Discipline
All the methods that parents are using to reduce or dissuade AB in children
Positive parenting
Interactions that promote interpersonal, academic and working skills
Monitoring
Knowledge that parents have on child’s friends, activities, whereabouts and life at school (in a positive way)
Problem-solving and conflict
Acquire and use skills in solving problems and conflicts
Oregon Social Learning Center (OSLC) research program
Most extensive and advanced research about development of AB and delinquency
Compliance/ opposition
Early indicator of AB → Failure to acquire compliance levels to parental instructions
Coercion
When the behavior of one or both interactors is controlled by aversive stimulation
Escalation
Process through which a dyad goes from exchanging aversive minor tone events to aggressive behaviors of greater amplitude that characterize abusive episodes
Predictability hypothesis
Erratic parental behavior establishes an interactional context for the child → unpredictable and uncertain
Hypothesis of Social Continuity/ Connection
Children have basic need for predictable/ synchronous social exchanges
Cooperative transactions
Produce continuity in synchronous exchanges → coercion only creates brief periods of synchrony between parents and child
Apego (attachment)
Early interactions are the key on which the child organizes his world
Child’s disruptive conduct
An instrumental response to the absence of social continuity
Authoritarian asynchrony
Indiscriminate use of aversive reactions
Permissive asynchrony
Indiscriminate positive reactions to child
Behavioural observation system
Description of events to observe and recods and certain rules about how to carry out a quantitative and replicable systematic measurement
Observational coding system
Data reduction strategy to obtain meaning from the complex stream of behaviour that occurs in family interaction
Child attachment (apego)
Early interactions on which child organises his world → child develops expectations based on experiences
Secure attachment
Promote positive social and emotional adaptation
Self-regulation
Dimension of individual differences → setting out goals, planning, perseverance in the task, self-management, and behavioural, emotional and attention modulation
Emotion- regulation
Initiating, avoiding, inhibiting, maintaining or modulating the occurrence, form, intensity or duration of internal states
Effortful control
Executive function that generates a delay in responding, create space required and necessary to focus on goal-oriented actions
Executive control of attention
Allows the individual to distract himself from noxious stimuli in the environment (volitional disengagement) and filter out the distracting stimuli to stay focused
Activation control
Perform an action even though there is a strong tendency to avoid it
Attention
Ability to concentrate, filter out distractions, attend to multiple tasks and to shift from one task to another
Inhibitory control
Stick with plans and goals, able to keep secrets and able to control impulses
Study theory into action
Study power of prediction of family socialization variables and the frequency/ severity of abuse of self-reported antisocial/ criminal behaviour
SIP (Social information processing)
Knowledge structures that guide information processing in future interactions
Attachment
Expectations of accessibility and availability of the others, working models (cognitive-affective representations) guide behaviour with others
Coercion-predictability
Expectations of control and regularities on immediate results of coercive actions
