Exam 2, More Notes
Exam 2
More Notes:
Unusualness is an obvious aspect of creativity. It is judged by comparing the product being judged to existing norms for such a product. If a product is really unusual the emotional response of judges will be surprise.
Appropriateness takes its meaning from, and can only be judged within a particular context. When a product demonstrates unique appropriateness it creates satisfaction in the observer. (Appropriateness = good fit. Like finding the right greeting card.)
Transformation: In any field of human activity there are rules and constraints within which one must operate. When a product demonstrates unique transformation, the response of the observer is stimulation.
Condensation refers to the simplicity (summary power) of a product. When a product demonstrates condensation, judges savor the result. (saves time and money)

Human Development
Notes for 2nd Exam

Here is the last true/false question. I don’t know why he just didn’t give it to us last week; he must have thought he was done.
The health and socioeconomic status of older people compared to younger people in the year 2020 will probably be about the same as now. False (will be better, not the same)
Know the following from the text:
Social Class
Secular Trend
Different parenting styles and their effects on school outcomes.
What type of parenting is best for teens.
Bulimia
Anorexia
Brain growth in young adulthood
Brain maturation
Inhibition control
The research on early and late maturity during adolescence.
Locus of control
The difference between primary and secondary aging. (primary = biological, secondary = environment)
Effects of aging
Research on teen pregnancy
Lecture Notes:
Anxiety and mood disorders are the most common mental disorders affecting young adults.
In US, the overall teen pregnancy rate is 50 per 1000 teens.
Girls attempt suicide more, boys complete suicide more. (Double check this in book)
85% of US high school students receive a diploma.
The mortality rate for males is higher than for females throughout adulthood because males are culturally conditioned to ignore pain that may be a symptom of disease.
The weight gain common among older people is mainly caused by maintaining caloric intake despite lessened activity.
The wear and tear theory of aging suggests that the aging process is caused by internal cellular processes.
Many of the memory problems that some older people suffer are side effects of prescription medications.
Alzheimer disease is a progressive deterioration of brain cells especially in the cerebral cortex.
Life satisfaction among older people is most related to health and openness to new experiences.
Women with a continuous work history may adjust more easily to retirement because they have more economic security.
In nearly every age group there are almost 5x as many widows as widowers.
Widowers are more likely than widows to remarry because there are more available older women then older men in society.
The age group with the largest proportion of suicides is 65 and older. (This is a skewed report because they are comparing 5 years of adolescence to 25 + years of old age.)
In the past, death usually occurred in the home. Today death usually occurs in hospitals.
In the past preparation for death and burial was handled by family members. Today it is handled by professionals.
Hospice is a residence for terminally ill people to live out their days as independently and painlessly as possible with emotional support.
Active euthanasia: steps to bring about a premature death.
Passive euthanasia involved hastening death by removal of life support equipment.

How to Print My Outlines
How to Print Outlines
Sometimes when I copy and paste the outlines into the blog, the tabbing does not transfer. My suggestion to you is to copy the blog into Microsoft Word and then add the tabs yourself. Hopefully I can figure out how to overcome this glitch...but I don't have the time right now with exams coming up.
Tab 1x before every capital letter. Tab 2x before every numeral. Tab 3x before every lower case letter. Tab 4x before every lower case Roman numeral.

Lecture notes for Exam 2
These notes are not complete because we have one more lecture before the exam. I will post them as I get them.
Dr. Moeschl gave us these notes in True/False form....I didn't steal a test or anything. lol
Human Development
Notes for 2nd Exam
According to Gould’s study of adults, he found growth to be the process of casting off childish illusions and false assumptions in favor of self-reliance and self-acceptance.
The growth spurt and other biological changes of puberty occur about 2 years earlier in females than in males.
The first indication of puberty in males is the accelerated growth of the testes and scrotum.
In girls, one of the earliest signs that puberty has begun is the development of breast buds.
Bulimia is a binge and purge pattern of eating.
Early maturing boys are more likely to be leaders.
Because late maturing males have to learn to deal with the anxiety over their self-image they may become more flexible and better problem solvers.
Adolescent males who become parents and husbands are more likely to have marital problems which eventually lead to divorce.
Children of teenage parents often exhibit slow cognitive growth.
Imaginary audience is when the teenager believes that they are constantly being watched and judged by their friends.
A personal fable is when the teenager believes that they are invulnerable and immortal.
The risk of depression and suicide in adolescence is increased by the adolescent’s relatively limited experiences combined with critical evaluation abilities.
The emotional distance between teenagers and their parents tends to increase as the adolescent goes through the physical changes of puberty.
Rejection of old values and adoption of new values is usually first achieved by college students.
Alliances formed between one parent and the teenager lead to loss of socializing agent status for the other parent.
Maturity is the psychological characteristics of independent decision making, reliability, compassion, and wisdom.
Freud defined psychological maturity as the ability to love and to work. (Love something other than ourselves, so our own children don’t count because they are a part of us.)
Age clocks let us know when certain events in our life should occur.
Historically, mentors = success
Normative transitions are life changes that are expected at specific times.
Idiosyncratic transitions are life changes that are un-expected.
Adolescents and young adults are most affected by normative history graded influences. (For example: Things that were going on during their college years will form how they view things for the rest of their lives. Forever marked by what happened during that period.)
Reasoning is a skill that continues to develop throughout adulthood.
The most successful of the Harvard graduates in the Grant study all had positive mentors and role models.
Levinson suggests that the main tasks of early adulthood are to find a mentor, develop a career, establish intimacy, and define a dream of adult accomplishment.

About this class and the exams.
Dr. Moeschl has a brilliant mind. I also had him for Intro to Psych, and I must say he remembers everything. We do tend to get off subject sometimes and delve deeper into some areas. Because of this the syllabus usually changes. In Intro to Psych we were scheduled for 3 exams....we had 2.
Once again in Human Development, we were scheduled for 3 exams. We are having 2. It is not a problem for me, but is a problem for people trying to pull up the grade from their first exam. Just a warning, study the notes! Actually take some notes and don't sleep in class. You may only have 2 chances for that A!
