Young children’s self-descriptions are typically unrealistically positive because they do not yet distinguish between their desired competence and their

do not engage in spontaneous social comparison of their abilities with those of others; and they tend to compare their present abilities with what they
could do at an earlier age, by which they usually look quite good.

Depending on how they talk with their children about emotion, parents can be described as taking an emotion-coaching or an emotion-dismissing
approach. The distinction between these approaches is most evident in the way the parent deals with the child’s negative emotions (anger, frustration,
sadness, and so on). Emotion-coaching parents monitor their children’s emotions, view their children’s negative emotions as opportunities for teaching,
assist them in labeling emotions, and coach them in how to deal effectively with emotions. In contrast, emotion-dismissing parents view their role as to
deny, ignore, or change negative emotions. Emotion-coaching parents interact with their children in a less rejecting manner, use more scaffolding and
praise, and are more nurturant than are emotion-dismissing parents.

Piaget concluded that children go through two distinct stages in how they think about morality. From about four to seven years of age, children display
heteronomous morality, where children think of justice and rules as unchangeable properties of the world, removed from the control of people. From 7
to 10 years of age, children are in a transition, showing some features of the first stage of moral reasoning and some stages of the second stage,

people, and in judging an action they consider the actor’s intentions as well as the consequences.

155. Compare and contrast the three major social theories of gender. Which theory would best explain the influence of social media on gender? Give
two reasons for your choice.
Three main social theories of gender have been proposed—social role theory, psychoanalytic theory, and social cognitive theory. Alice Eagly proposed
the social role theory, which states that gender differences result from the contrasting roles of women and men. The psychoanalytic theory of gender
stems from Freud’s view that the preschool child develops a sexual attraction to the opposite-sex parent. At five or six years of age, the child renounces
this attraction because of anxious feelings. Subsequently, the child identifies with the same-sex parent, unconsciously adopting the same-sex parent’s
characteristics. According to the social cognitive theory of gender, children’s gender development occurs through observing and imitating what other
people say and do, and through being rewarded and punished for gender-appropriate and gender-inappropriate behavior.

example of how causal reasoning could lead to false conclusions.
Without knowing the cause, it could be that a third factor is influencing the relationship. It could also be that the children’s personality and behavior are
influencing the parenting styles. An example of a problem causal thinking is therapy or medication could be given to the parent when the issue is more
with the child, or vice versa. Also, a parent and child may be living in a high-stress or abusive situation, and that circumstance might be ignored if the
focus is on the parent or the child only.

If the stresses and disruptions in family relationships associated with an unhappy, conflict-ridden marriage that erode the well-being of children are
reduced by the move to a divorced, single-parent family, divorce can be advantageous. If the diminished resources and increased risks associated with
divorce also are accompanied by inept parenting and sustained or increased conflict, not only between the divorced couple but also among the parents,
children, and siblings, then the best choice for the children would be to retain the unhappy marriage. It is difficult to determine how these “ifs” will play
out when parents either remain together in an acrimonious marriage or become divorced.

161. Describe the research findings that demonstrate that there are very few differences between the development and psychological well-being of
children raised by gay and lesbian parents and those raised by heterosexual parents.
Like heterosexual couples, gay and lesbian parents vary greatly. They may be single, or they may have same-gender partners. Many lesbian mothers and
gay fathers are noncustodial parents because they lost custody of their children to heterosexual spouses after a divorce. Parenthood among lesbians and
gay men is controversial. Opponents claim that being raised by gay or lesbian parents harms the child’s development. But researchers have found few
differences between children growing up with lesbian mothers or gay fathers on the one hand, and children growing up with heterosexual parents on the
other. For example, children raised by gay or lesbian parents are just as popular with their peers, and no differences are found in the adjustment and
mental health of children living in these families when they are compared with children raised by heterosexual parents. Contrary to the once-popular
expectation that being raised by a gay or lesbian parent would result in the child’s growing up to be gay or lesbian, in reality the overwhelming majority
of children from gay or lesbian families have a heterosexual orientation.
