The focus for this DB is temperament and attachment as factors in early social and emotional development.
The video presents information on the social, emotional, and behavioral problems that young children in relatively "normal" families may have. (What I mean by normal is that this is a functional, loving family, with many unresolved issues.)
For this week's discussion take a look at the videos:

and articlehttp://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2013/07-08/relational-aggression.aspx
Based on your past readings, article and video, state your case/argument on whether aggression is linked directly to biological, social, parental, cultural influence or are there compounding factors which include these and more and influence the development of children. Incorporate your thoughts on whether children are influenced by media. If so, how much media exposure is over-exposure? Lastly, think about the developmental theories and concepts listed within your readings.
This DB requires you to considerseveral theoretical paradigms as they might be used to explain or understand the behavior depicted in the links.Remember to review and refer to the information about temperament and attachment theories as it is described in your text in order to address each question.
1. Based on your past readings, article and video, state your case/argument on whether aggression is linked directly to biological, social, parental, cultural influence or are there compounding factors which include these and more and influence the development of children. Incorporate your thoughts on whether children are influenced by media. If so, how much media exposure is over-exposure? Lastly, think about the developmental theories and concepts listed within your readings.Be sure to post a reply on two of your colleague's post.
2. How would you understand the emergence of these problems using an attachment theory paradigm? Be detailed and clear with your answer.
