Social Development Across The Lifespan In Diverse Cultur

在这个项目中，我们正在调查养育环境（特别是由父母的信仰，价值观和实践指数）之间的变化影响儿童发展的方式。在一项研究中，7日至12日年级的自我知觉的性别差异进行了纵向评估，以便在青春期的不同风格的自我知觉的前因和相关因素进行了探讨。女孩认为自己在许多角色中比男孩更有亲和力，而不是消极亲和力，但在主张方面的性别差异并不可靠，女孩的主张并没有随着时间的推移而下降。性别差异是特定于上下文的，并且在我自己作为一个男孩/女孩和我自己与一个亲密的同性同伴的评级中更为明显。为了进一步探索这些性别差异的前因，部分的自我感知电池完成了一组瑞典15岁的孩子，他们的发展已被系统地记录自婴儿期。目前正在对这些数据进行分析。

In this project, we are investigating ways in which variations among rearing environments (especially as indexed by parental beliefs, values, and practices) affect children's development. In one study, gender differences in the self-perceptions of 7th to 12th graders were assessed longitudinally so that the antecedents and correlates of different styles of self-perception in adolescence could be explored. Girls perceived themselves as more affiliative and less negatively affiliative in many roles than boys did, but gender differences in assertion were not reliable and girls' assertiveness did not decline over time. Gender differences were context-specific, and were more pronounced in ratings of Myself as a boy/girl and Myself with a close same-sex peer. To explore antecedents of these gender differences further, portions of the self-perception battery were completed by a group of Swedish 15-year-olds whose development has been documented systematically since infancy. Analyses of these data are currently underway.
