Harry Harlow and his Monkeys
Summary
:
Separated baby monkeys from their mother 6-12 hours after birth
Placed then with surrogate mothers of either wire, or cloth; wire had food, cloth had a heat source.
Findings:
Babies preferred cloth monkey 23hr/day
As adults, the monkeys were seriously disturbed: Aggressive
Did not know their cultural behaviorSlide20
Monkeys cont
…
Isolated monkeys could not function well in their communities as mature monkeys.
They were rejected by other monkeys.
As mothers the isolated monkey were brutal mothers; kicking, hitting, and trying to crush their babies.
Different time tables of isolation provided different results
What it proved: that there are critical times or periods for socialization to take place. Slide21
What do you think would happen if
a person is denied certain aspects of socialization?
How would that person develop socially?Slide22
Case Study
One of the most famous and unfortunate cases involves a child named Genie
Wiley,
that for an extended period of her life was kept in isolation. Slide23

Case study- Identical twins separated at birth
There have been studies conducted around twins that have been separated at birth that add fuel to the fire of the Nature or Nurture Debate. Slide25Slide26
Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were identical twins raised apart from the age of 4 weeks. When the twins were finally reunited at the age of 39 in 1979, they discovered they both suffered from tension headaches, were prone to nail biting, smoked Salem cigarettes, drove the same type of car and even vacationed at the same beach in Florida.Slide27
Of the 13 children involved in his study, three sets of twins and one set of triplets have discovered one another. The other four subjects of the study still do not know they have identical twins
.
The data of the complete study will not be available until 2066Slide28
3 theories of socialization
1.
Tabula Rasa theory-
we are born blank slates and thus molded
2.
Looking-Glass Self Theory
-develop personality through are interactions with those around you. Others reflect back the person we show to everyone else.
3.
Role-taking theory-
take roles we believe others expect of us. We develop the “I” or private you and the “ME” the public socialized you. Slide29

New movement to attribute behaviors/emotions to chemical imbalances
Birth order:
Presence of siblings; oldest/youngest/middle
- ex. If you are first in line you may have a deeper sense of responsibility.
Ex. The youngest siblings are often seen as carefree and recklessSlide32

Identity Crisis
James Marcia believed that there was 4 categories or processes each adolescent went through.
Adolescents do not remain in a single one the entire time
Nor proceed through them in a particular order Slide42
Identity Moratorium
Actively searching for identity
Exploring various alternatives
Ex. May style hair in a particular way or wear a piece of clothing as their “trade” mark
“I don’t know what I want to do when I graduate, so I’m going to apply for college and for jobs. Then I’ll decide which would be best for me.”Slide43
Identity Foreclosure
Makes a commitment that forecloses ( or shuts out) other possibilities.
Based on the suggestion of others rather than individual choice. Parents, teachers, peers etc…
Becomes inflexible and no self-examination to decide ifs a good fit.
“Everyone in my family goes to the military after high school, so that’s what I’m planning to do.”
“My dad thinks it’s a good idea I become a doctor”Slide44
Identity Diffusion
Has made no personal commitments
Wander about without goals and live from crisis to crisis
Typically occurs around middle school and early high school
May lead to adolescent becoming angry and rebellious
May reject societies norms
“ I don’t care, I really have no idea what I’ll do after graduation. I’ll just have to see what happens.”
Ex. Chavez during his Tupac “Thug Life” Phase. Slide45

Essential Question
How much influence does society play in the development of one’s identity?Slide50
Ethnic and cultural identity
Being a person of color, an immigrant, or even moving to a different part of the country means navigating cultures and your sense of who you are in relationship to others.
This process of adjusting to a new culture is called acculturation, and includes adjusting your behavior to meet the expectations of your new environment.
Fitting
in
Although teens are likely to want to “fit in” with their new environment by assimilating, this does not mean that they reject their home culture and values. In an acculturation process, teens (and adults) do not necessarily have to choose between two sets of values and identities. Many will become bicultural. Being bicultural means the ability to function in more than one culture; usually the dominant culture and the culture of your heritage. People who are bicultural often describe it as the ability to switch between two worlds.Slide51
Minimizing family conflict
Being a parent of a teen trying to find her ethnic identity may not be an easy task, especially if you and your child have different ethnicities or heritages, or your family has relocated to a new culture. Family conflict may increase as a teen struggles to conform to the pressures of the cultures at home and away from home. Families who actively teach their children about culture increase their teens’ happiness with their culture, their commitment to their culture, and their ability to function in more than one cultural setting.
Parents’ own exposure to new cultures and ability to acculturate has been shown to help teens. It is especially helpful if parents can adapt their parenting styles between their culture of heritage and their new cultureSlide52
1. Atkinson, Morten, and Sue’s Racial and Cultural Identity Development: Five Stage Model (1979,1989, 1993, 1998):
Served as foundation for the variety of racial and ethnic identity development models to follow.
Conformity
One identifies with white culture, learns and assumer stereotypes and has no inkling to identify or learn about their own racial or ethnic heritage.
Dissonance
Encounter is the catalyst for one to question white culture and begin an interest in one’s own racial or ethnic group
Resistance and Immersion
Individual withdrawals from white culture to delve into his or her own racial or ethnic exploration in the effort to define a new identity.
Introspection
Individual actively seeks to integrate the redefined identity into the dominant culture without compromising aspects of his or her own racial or ethnic identity
Synergistic Articulation and Awareness
Optimum identity; Individual is able to identify as he or she wishes, appreciate other cultures including the dominant culture and balance all aspects of his or her heritage.Slide53
Gender identity
Gender identity refers to the cultural concepts of masculinity and femininity.
It is how a person identifies with one gender or another. This is distinct from physical sex and sexuality.
Cultures define a range of roles and socially acceptable behavior for expressing gender.
These become the culture’s gender stereotypes. During the process of developing gender identity, teens take on different masculine and feminine traits as they learn to express themselves.
Most would expect boys to take on masculine traits and girls to take on feminine traits, but it is not so simple.
We all adopt both masculine and feminine traits to varying degrees. For most of us, we will express our gender identity in ways that blend in with the range of social norms and gender stereotypes.
Some people find that the gender identification that feels true to them doesn’t fit within their culture’s expectations for male and female.
They may behave in ways or take on traits that society considers “too” feminine or “too” masculine for their physical sex.
A person usually becomes aware of this conflict between his sense of self and gender stereotypes in the teen years.
As a teen makes choices about expressing his gender identity, he may experience rejection, bullying, and fear; he may also suppress his gender identity and experience shame, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
Raising a child who does not show gender-typical behavior can be hard in terms of family expectations and reactions from others.
Parents may feel distressed when their child exhibits behavior that they feel is “too” masculine or feminine for their physical sex.
The best way to help your child as she explores her gender identity is to educate yourself on gender stereotypes and identity formation, and provide a safe, supportive environment for your child to discover her own identity.Slide54
