Question Answer
What is authoritarian parenting? Parent exerts power and coercion through the authority of status; the parent dictates and the child is required to follow unquestioningly.
How might a child reared in an authoritarian family behave? Unlikely to show initiative or independence. Associated with anxiety in unfamiliar situations and low confidence/self esteem. Actions based on anticipated reward/punishment, not moral principles.
What is permissive parenting? Child basically takes care of themselves, with limited direction or control. Unlikely to express expectations for child's achievement, or their development of good manners, courtesy or self-discipline. Gives in to demands and unpleasant behaviour.
How might a child raised in a permissive household behave? Holds parent in low esteem, likely to manipulate them. Seeks immediate gratification. Careless attitude and little respect for adults. Little sensitivity for rules and other people.
What is authoritative/democratic parenting? Teaches principles of appropriate behaviour explicitly through discussion and implicitly through example, with justifications. Child treated as an individual capable of understanding. Will not yield to obnoxious behaviour.
Define separation anxiety. A state of anxiety experienced by a baby when her mother leaves the room.
What was the strange situation procedure? Investigated separation anxiety; a semi-standardised lab procedure where mother and baby play together, mother leaves, stranger attempts to interact with the baby, then mother returns.
One aspect of attachments in 10-12 month-olds is social referencing. What is this? Where babies periodically look at their mothers face for signs of encouragement or anxiety, especially when they are in novel situations - parents secure based to explore the world.
How might Piaget explain separation anxiety? Object permanence - if the baby cannot see its mother, she does not exist. Out of sight, out of mind. Not being able to understand the world as distinct from self might explain why younger babies don't exhibit separation anxiety.
