Temperamental Contributions to the Development of Social Behavior :: Jerome Kagan

The comprehensive explore conducted by Jerome Kagan was very interesting but extremely complex regarding the dark concepts that contributed to the development of social behavior. I was surprised to learn that based on Freuds psychoanalysis minds were turned away from a temperamental household of person who was especially vulnerable to acquiring a symptom to a category of environment that produced systems. The adjective fearful became a continuous belongings on which any person could be placed (p.377).Moreover, I powerfully dis hold with the Thomas-Chess temperamental dimensions that were obtained from questionnaires by parents or other adults, as it related to their child. The selective information obtained could bias the study or research. However, I strongly agree with the descriptive perspective of observation to define temperament. In addition, I strongly hold with how Kagan viewed the two profiles of curb and unrepressed temperaments Qualitative, defined by behavioral o bservations, influenced by genetic Factors and leading to distinctly different psychological outcomes with growth (p.379).On the other hand, infant reactivity was complex and unclear relative to inhibited and uninhibited temperaments of infants. Are laid-back reactive infants inhibited? Are depressive disorder reactive infants uninhibited? What about the remaining infants in the research who had high take arousal with low irritability or low motor arousal with high irritability?In addition, I strongly agreed with Kagans concept that inhibited and uninhibited behaviors are heritable. The study by Matheny regarding identical and fraternal twins as it related to inhibited and uninhibited behavior was very informative and clear.
