  • EMPATHY and FAMILY EMOTIONAL CLIMATE Master's
    Running head: EMPATHY AND FAMILY EMOTIONAL CLIMATE Master’s Thesis for New York University, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences May, 2010 EMPATHY AND FAMILY EMOTIONAL CLIMATE: Clues to cultivating perspective-taking and emotional competence Stefanie F. Molicki (maiden name) Stefanie F. Frank (married name) Empathy and Family Emotional Climate 2 Empathy and Family Emotional Climate 3 [Submitted September 2010 for New York University Master’s in Psychology Program] There is much effort in educational and psychology research to determine what factors play a role in a child’s success in both academic and social settings. While many studies have focused on the importance of cognitive factors such as memory, verbal ability and reasoning ability as crucial for school success, more recent research has pointed to various social emotional competences as essential not only to a child’s adaptive social functioning but also to school performance (CASEL). The Collaborative for Academic and Social Emotional Learning lists the five most important of these factors as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making . Although empathy is not listed as a specific skill among these, it is associated with effortful control and management of emotions, thus preventing overarousal and diminished attentional capacity for learning and adaptive behavior, and is therefore a factor worth exploring in terms of promoting positive academic behavior (Valiente et al., 2004). This study explores various factors related to empathy in the hopes of shedding light on potential avenues for promoting these skills both in the classroom and in therapeutic settings. In addition to promoting school performance by allowing a child to focus on learning rather than on his or her emotional arousal, empathy plays an important role in adaptive social relations, self-esteem and other areas of social competence because of its ability to allow a person to control his or her own emotions while interacting with others (Huang et al., 2009).

The Evolution of Animal Play, Emotions, and Social Morality: On Science, Theology, Spirituality, Personhood, and Love Marc Bekoff University of Colorado KEYWORDS animal emotions, animal play, biocentric anthropomorphism, critical anthropomorphism, personhood, social morality, spirituality ABSTRACT My essay first takes me into the arena in which science, spirituality, and theology meet. I comment on the enterprise of science and how scientists could well benefit from reciprocal interactions with theologians and religious leaders. Next, I discuss the evolution of social morality and the ways in which various aspects of social play behavior relate to the notion of “behaving fairly.” The contributions of spiritual and religious perspectives are important in our coming to a fuller understanding of the evolution of morality. I go on to discuss animal emotions, the concept of personhood, and how our special relationships with other animals, especially the companions with whom we share our homes, help us to define our place in nature, our humanness.

  • Psychoethological Perspective on Play: Implications for Research and Practice
    Psicologia USP http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0103-656420160122 358 Brincar na perspectiva psicoetológica: implicações para pesquisa e prática Emma Otta* Universidade de São Paulo, Instituto de Psicologia, Departamento de Psicologia Experimental. São Paulo, SP, Brasil Resumo: Este ensaio trata do brincar a partir da perspectiva psicoetológica e examina implicações para a pesquisa e a prática. Ao longo das últimas décadas, crianças vêm ganhando oportunidades de escolarização e atividades dirigidas por adultos, mas perdendo oportunidades de brincadeira livre autogerenciada. Isto é preocupante, considerando as indicações de modelos animais de que a brincadeira social autogerenciada é importante para o desenvolvimento do cérebro social e da capacidade de autorregulação de emoções. Este estudo representa um convite-justificativa para que as crianças recuperem oportunidades de brincadeira natural das quais vêm sendo privadas. Quanto mais conhecermos sobre o brincar, mais adequados seremos nas oportunidades que poderemos oferecer a elas. Precisamos de mais pesquisa sobre este tema na academia, num ambiente intelectual que facilite a colaboração entre etólogos, psicólogos, educadores e neurocientistas, promovendo interação bidirecional entre teoria e prática. Palavras-chave: brincar, cérebro social, desenvolvimento, emoções, natureza. Introdução A razão da etóloga, fascinada pela observação do comportamento Este ensaio trata do brincar a partir da perspectiva psicoetológica e examina as implicações desta Por que convidar a estudar o comportamento de abordagem para pesquisa e prática relativas a um tema brincar dos animais?

  • An Overview of Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Curricula Mindy E
    An Overview of Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education Curricula Mindy E. Scott and Ilana Huz Overview Healthy marriage and relationship education (HMRE) programming—also called marriage and relationship education or relationship education programming— teaches concepts and skills that promote healthy, safe, and stable relationships among youth and adults.1 When designing and implementing an HMRE program, one of the most important decisions that program providers must make is to choose which curriculum to implement. For example, organizations can use curricula developed by external developers that come with predetermined content, materials, and activities, or they may develop their own curriculum. With either approach, organizations need to consider many MAST CENTER RESEARCH factors when assessing whether a specific curriculum The Marriage Strengthening Research and is appropriate for a given program: For example, does Dissemination Center (MAST Center) conducts the curriculum content align with the goal of that research on marriage and romantic relationships program, and is it designed for the program’s target in the U.S. and healthy marriage and relationship population? education (HMRE) programs designed to strengthen these relationships. This research aims to identify To help HMRE program providers (and the evaluators critical research gaps, generate new knowledge, and who work with them) better understand and help programs more effectively serve the individuals assess various aspects of HMRE curricula, this and families they work with. MAST Center research is brief provides an overview of the design of HMRE concentrated in two areas: curricula implemented in programs that have been • Relationship Patterns & Trends. Population- a formally evaluated. Synthesizing information from based research to better understand trends, 21 HMRE curricula, the brief describes the target predictors, dynamics, and outcomes of marriage population(s) for which each curriculum is designed, and relationships in the United States.

  • The Inevitability of Evolutionary Psychology and the Limitations of Adaptationism: Lessons from the Other Primates
    International Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2001, 14, 25-42. Copyright 2001 by the International Society for Comparative Psychology The Inevitability of Evolutionary Psychology and the Limitations of Adaptationism: Lessons from the other Primates Frans B. M. de Waal Emory University, U.S.A. The arrival of Evolutionary Psychology (EP) has upset many psychologists. Partly, this reflects resistance to what is perceived as genetic reductionism, partly worry about yet another step closer to the life sciences. Are the life sciences going to devour the social sciences? This essay starts out with a list of pitfalls for the beginning Darwinists that many EP followers are, warning against simplistic adptationist scenarios, and the frag- mentation of the organism, the human brain (a module for every capacity), and the ge- nome (a gene for this and a gene for that). Despite these criticisms, the author is generally sympathetic to the evolutionary approach, however, and feels that EP is inevitable. It may show growing pains, but psychology does need to move under the evolutionary umbrella, which is the only framework that can provide coherence to a fragmented discipline. The essay concludes with several illustrations of the usefulness of evolutionary theory to ex- plain the social behavior of primates. Primatologists face many of the same dilemmas as followers of EP in that primate behavior seems almost endlessly variable. Examples of political strategy, peacemaking, and reciprocal exchange show the complexity, the pro- found similarity to human behavior, and the promise of the evolutionary framework. I am honored and pleased to address psychologists at their annual conven- tion.

  • The Value of Using an Evolutionary Framework for Gauging Children's
    In Narvaez, D., Panksepp, J., Schore, A., & Gleason, T. (Eds.) (2013). Evolution, Early Experience and Human Development: From Research to Practice and Policy. New York: Oxford University Press. The Value of Using an Evolutionary Framework for Gauging Children’s Well-Being Darcia Narvaez, Jaak Panksepp, Allan Schore, and Tracy Gleason Earlier conceptions of the essential nature of developmental experiences found axiomatic that “early childhood is destiny.” This view was deeply embedded in two paradigms—psychoanalysis under the Freudian view, which emphasized parenting influences, and behaviorism, which emphasized early conditioning and reinforcement history (although both psychoanalytic psychotherapists and behaviorists assumed that patterns could be unlearned with some effort). When developmental psychology changed in paradigm to an ecological system perspective that acknowledges multiple levels of influence (Bronfenbrenner, 1979), emphasis shifted to a focus on human resiliency in the face of risk factors (Lester, Masten, & McEwen, 2007). Neuroscience has bolstered the resilient view of development with evidence that the brain remains plastic throughout the life span (e.g., Doidge, 2007; Merzenich et al., 1996). Early childhood is thus viewed within the prism of lifelong interactions among ecosystems and individual neuro- affective propensities, highlighting developmental person-by-context interactions and abundant individual variability in emotional resilience (Suomi, 2006; Worthman, Plotsky, Schechter, & Cummings, 2010). In the enthusiasm to embrace ideas of life span resiliency, psychology has often soft- pedaled the lasting neurobiological influences of early childhood experience. When researchers have documented the remarkable resiliency of children (e.g., Lester et al., 2007), they often point to better outcomes than might be predicted from certain preclinical studies of early - i - developmental trajectories (Kagan, 1997).

Subjects were 80 nine-year-olds. Empathy was assessed using interviews with children regarding their understanding of the emotion portrayed in, and their own emotional-cognitive responses to, a set of seven videotaped stimulus vignettes of persons in emotional interaction. Responses were scored along an Empathy Continuum (EC). A median split on EC scores assigned children into high or low empathy groups. Second, emotional responsivity was assessed in the Affect Match (AM) Experiment in which children viewed video episodes of four same-sex peers, each responding to a test-game, in which they were happy or sad about winning or losing. AM scores were the degree of affect match reported by the child. Third, altruistic helping was assessed in the Helping Experiment, in which children viewed a same-sex peer (a confederate) who was completing a test-game in another room, visible to the subject via TV monitor. The subject's helping responses over 10 trials were noted.
