Environmental forces in child behavior and development.

Abstract: We have here to deal only with the psychological influence of the environment upon the behavior of the child. This does not mean that the somatic effects of environment, for example, of nutrition or climate, do not have great psychological significance. On the contrary, the somatic as well as the psychological influence of the environment is constantly operating on the entire child.

“…Nearly 70 years ago, Kurt Lewin [1931] challenged the creation of the 'average' child, which he considered to be a misleading statistical myth. Recent studies, as well as older studies and those reviewed by Kleitman in 1939, reveal marked individual differences in sleep patterns for each age-group studied from neonate through old age [e.g., Dales, 1941;Despert, 1949;Dittrichova et al, 1992;Flemming, 1925;Foster et al, 1928;Hoppenbrouwers, 1987;Minors and Waterhouse, 1989;Reynolds and Mallay, 1933;Shinn, 1932;Terman and Hocking, 1913;Webb, 1989a, b] as well as high variability in REM latency and phasic REM activity in both children and adults [e.g., Coble et al, 1987;Williams et al, 1974].…”

“…Esta aparente indissociabilidade entre os conceitos ambiente e a participação, era já sugerida na década de 40 do século XX por Lewin, quando propôs a equação B=f(P,E), para explicar que o comportamento humano (B) é função da pessoa (P) e do meio (E). Na sua teoria de campo, Lewin (1935) Na sistematização dos fatores ambientais podem-se distinguir nesta classificação dois níveis conceptuais: um individual referindo-se a aspetos físicos/ materiais e relacionais do ambiente próximo; e outro social que inclui serviços e sistemas formais e informais na comunidade. Em termos estruturais, os fatores ambientais são listados em torno de cinco domí-nios (tabela 2), compostos por um conjunto mais detalhado de categorias ambientais que, em interação com as características especificas de cada sujeito (i.e., Funções e Estruturas do Corpo), se podem revelar facilitadores ou barreiras ao seu envolvimento nas Atividades e Participação.…”

“…Although there is a strong classical tradition about intraindividual motivational conflicts (approachapproach conflicts, approach-avoidance conflicts, etc. ; Lewin, 1931), and several contemporary studies that deal with motivational conflict, most of them only investigate the consequences of those conflicts (e.g. an impaired well-being, e.g.…”
