2014), details a study focused on examining the effect of personalized (or targeted) vs non-personalized web advertisements in banner format on attention and memory of the viewer. The authors note that while much research has been conducted on the location and other traits of web advertisements on user experience, attention, memory, and other factors of psychological relevance, there has been little to no investigation into how targeted and personalized ads affect attention and memory of web users. Targeted advertisements use data mined from personal usage habits of many popular websites (such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon) to deliver ads more likely to be of interest to viewers in an effort to increase relevance and value of the advertisements. The article details how advertisements’ effectiveness can be measured via psychological attributes such as attention, recall, and recognition in addition to the standard practice of measuring interaction (clicks), and how the processing stages are a good predictor of likelihood of

    guilt (3-5 yrs.), adults are seen as examples in regards to how a child should engage in society (Stevens, 1983, p. 47). As children learn that they can do things like adults it is essential that parents reassure their children through positive "support"; if the child does not receive positive support in activities of choice, guilt may form as a result (Table 9.1. Comparison of Freudian and Eriksonian Stages of Development, 2014, p. 1). Children in this stage also begin to ask for what they want, this helps children in their ability to make decisions later on in life. If the child learns to take initiative, a sense of purpose will form in the child (Erikson, 1964, p.

    Morality, which is one’s general standards about right and wrong behavior, also includes prosocial behavior and other traits such as honesty, fairness, and concern about other people’s rights and welfare (Omrod, 2014). Both morality and prosocial behavior involve multiple parts of the brain, emotions and complex reasoning abilities. Some age-typical characteristics for preschool aged children include, some understanding that behaviors causing physical or psychological harm are morally wrong, a sense of guilt and shame about misbehaviors that cause harm to others, also display empathy and sympathy, and children at this age also show an appreciation for the need to be fair.

  • The Development Stages Of Eric Erikson's Antisocial Development

    1255 Words  | 3 Pages

    Young boys and girls around the age thirteen through nineteen find themselves facing different developmental stages because they are at their adolescent stage. In this stage, they tend to engage themselves in activities that the majority of their friends engage in, even if those activities might land them in trouble. In this case, the case to be analyzed is on a 13-year-old boy whose friends are Mall Rats. The group engages themselves in antisocial behavior such as being rude to their elders, swearing, smoking and vandalizing properties in the stores. The biggest question is why would a young boy engage in such activities and feel comfortable? The answer to this can be answered using the developmental theory as established by Erik Erikson. His experience in the past could affect and induce his behavior and emotions. The chances are the boy is not happy with his childhood, which makes it more difficult to mature and become an adult. All in all, the past shapes our future.

  • 1. How Does Bandura Describe Moral Development?

    481 Words  | 1 Pages

    Mature individuals care about morality and being a moral person as moral responsibility is central to a person’s identity. That being the case, individuals engage in moral self-monitoring and moral self-reflection. Self- monitoring involves monitoring one’s thoughts and actions which are related to moral situations while engaging in self-control when it is applicable. Similarly, self-reflection covers critical evaluations of one’s self judgements and efforts to reduce bias and self-deception. As a result, identity is indeed caring about morality, and good moral complements one’s identity. Therefore, morality is an important aspect of identity as it somehow reflects a sense of obligation because if a person does something immoral, he or she is not just violating an abstract principle but violating who he or she is. However, building moral identity is also a matter of environment. Based on claims made by Daniel Hart and his colleagues, individuals developing in poor urban neighborhoods have chances of not developing moral identity as these types of environments work against the formation of moral identity and commitment to moral

  • Development During Adolescence

    2275 Words  | 5 Pages

    Adolescence is a time of great change for a child. It is a time where they begin to explore who they are as individuals and develop their own identities as they get closer into adulthood. Erik Erikson theorized that in adolescence “the main task is developing an identity” and that a healthy identity is developed when they try on alternate identities and reflect on these experiences (Pressley & McCormick, 2007,p.147). Michael Nakkula says “identity is not the culmination of a key event or series of events, although key events can play an important role in the larger process. It is rather, the lived experience of an ongoing process-the process of integrating successes, failures, routines, habits, rituals, novelties, thrills, threats, violations, gratifications, and frustrations into a coherent and evolving interpretation of who we are. Identity is the embodiment of self-understanding” (Nakkula, 2008, p.11). The experiences that adolescents go through daily and over time influences the identity they eventually form. Adolescence is a time when children start to reflect on what they are good at, their relationships with family and friends, questions about sexual orientation and even religion. There are six domains that affect an adolescent’s development which are personal, social, familial, moral, and intellectual. I will be focusing on the social, intellectual and physical domains.

  • Stereotyping During Adolescence

    655 Words  | 2 Pages

    Adolescence is a transitional stage from childhood that is accompanied by change in physiques, emotions, psychological and social factors. During this stage, most adolescents become rebellious, ignoring their parents instructions, and rather embrace rules that make them comfortable. One of the characteristics of teen development can also be influenced by peer pressure. Even though most adolescents are said to be rebellious during this developmental stage, it is also important to look at the cultural context in which they behave. Martin (2014) suggests what may be considered normative and emotionally healthy within one culture, and what is considered respectful and honorable behavior may all be seen as a signs of disrespect in a different culture (p. 124). Culture is a very important issue to consider when dealing with adolescents behavior else one may conclude by stereotyping that all adolescents are disrespectful and rebellious.
