Although proper diagnosis can be vital for treatment, this week we will focus on the unintended challenges labeling people with a mental illness can create.

• Discuss what labeling theory is and how the principles of labeling theory apply to mental illness diagnoses.
• What might be the impact of a mental illness label on a person searching for a job or housing?
• What impact might there be of a label on someone’s social, family, and romantic relationships?
• How might the effects of these labels be different for people of different social statuses? And how might people of greater social status be able to reduce the negative effects of labels?
• How might a mental illness label affect a child differently than an adult?

• Labeling theory is when you give someone a title and then it then having a negative affect on that person. This in return affects how the person views how they look at themselves but also how other people will look at them. – The posible impact of a mental illness label on a person searching for a job or housing is that they could simply not fit in. And in some cases when a person doesn’t fit the majority can exclude the person and withdraw from everything that, that person tries to be involved in. – A label on someones social can impact it because the labels can come with negative feedback. With the feedback not being great people on the outside who do not understand the person or even the illness can judge, and make false accusations.- Have a label is never really a good thing but its worse when its followed by a disorder and no one taking the time to really understand what it is. These labels can divide people and make things harder for those than it needs to be.- In my experience it affects the child in a way that broke my heart more than the adult. The kids made fun of the child by mocking them and teasing them. The children were displaying behavior that was taught and that hurt my heart. The child that was teased was sad all the time and had a very hard time making friends at school. His only realy friends were me and my.

• Labeling theory has to do with the way that one views themselves as well as how others view them and often in a negative manner due to mental illness. When it comes to the diagnosis of mental illness the labeling theory is not looking at why the behavior happened instead they are looking at the aftermath of an atypical behavior. People are so worried abut labels especially in the world we live in today. This goes for all ages as well. If a person is in search of a house or a job yet they have a mental illness I believe it would be exceptionally hard for one to do.As it was said in the chapter the way that some people look at people with mental illnesses is like they are less competent. Society is so cruel and when dealing with someone that has a mental illness I believe a lot of people tend to steer clear. WIll they be able to maintain a house by themselves? Can they make it to work on time? Can they carry out all of the tasks at hand? those are some questions that come to mind when thinking of the negative aspects with mental illness and job/house searching. However I believe everyone deserves a chance. No one should be turned away just because they have a mental illness especially when you may not know the severity of the illness. This could be their chance to help them move forward in life. As for relationships and labels I believe this is a little tougher question. Socially I feel like true friends will be there for you no matter the label. I have best friend who suffers from soeasonal depression and it gets bad but I would never leave her side and there have been some hard times. That however is when she needs me the most. Same goes for family. Family in my eyes is above all and forever but I have a very closeknit family. I also have family members that suffer from anxiety and bad as well. I would do anything for that family member. As for romantic relationships I feel like that is different. Obiously you want someone to be your forever partner but sometimes I feel like labels and mental illnesses are hard for partners to deal with. When you marry someone they say in sickness and in health but unfortunately you dont always find that to be true especially in the world we live in today. People are so quick to throw in the towel. I also feel that there are people out there that are embarassed to be linked to someone that has a label. which again causes the issue in a romantic relationship. Social status is a big thing in the younger years and if you had a label on you I wouldnt say that you were at a high standing in the social tier. Thinking about highschool all of the popular higher social standings were always looked at being perfect. Labels are most likely thought about for the middle and lower class when in reality I believe a lot more high class people would have even more labels with mental illnesses trying to keep up a certai image. mental illness and labels have no preference when it comes to social status. Being that labeling theory is based on societal factors it would be seen top to bottom no matter what standing you have. People of higher social status can usually reduce the negative effects with labeling by putting on a certin persona or using money to their advantage. I feel a lot of upper class people live double lives regardless of mental illness or not. They use their sources and money to hide their alter life a secret. Or at least they attempt to it may not always work. Mental illness in children differ from mental illness and adults because adults are mature enough to understand and make decisions that may help when children are still learning. Adults can accept negatives a little easier as well. Labeling children is such a hard thing to do especially now a days. Like i said before we live in a cruel world and the second people find out you have a weakness they will use it against you. Being that I work in childcare I see these things, and yes as little as childcare, and parents have an extremely hard time accepting the fact that their children ahve delays. I had a child with autism and I knew right away. when I was doing the assessments and the child scored extremely low in all categories the family had a very hard time accepting the fact that he needed all types of therapies and to be diagnosed. Instead of worrying about getting him help they were more concerned about him getting labeled.

• Toddler Language or Socioemotional DevelopmentFind and watch a video online relating to toddler language development. This video may also address socioemotional development, such as negotiating one’s role through language. A favorite (and one you are not allowed to use) is located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFYsJYPye94 You will notice that the boy in this video is trying to negotiate his role and his privileges with an adult by repeating some of the language he has recently heard and applying what he understands as logic to the situation. You should specifically choose a video on language during this age range. In ¾-2 pages you must:-Briefly: discuss your video and include the hyperlink-In depth: identify(make the concept bold font), define, and explain the specific milestones or developmental concepts of language development demonstrated in the video and the importance (cite)- You are also graded on grammar, etc. Proof-read your work! Although I hope these are fun ways to apply the material, you should think of these UAs as mini papers.*Don’t worry, you will not always be using Youtube for assignments. However, we will use it periodically throughout the course. I’ve used it for the first few assignments in the hopes of creating a bit of fun with the work.Aligns with LO 2: 1. identify and describe social and emotional development milestones for infants and toddlers. 2. recognize overall developmental patterns for infants and toddlers. 3. identify ethnic and cultural differences in developmental patterns for infants and toddlers.
• Discussion 2
  List qualities you share with a first-degree relative (parent or sibling).
• Think of qualities that they do not share with this same relative.
• Do students detect more similarities or differences?

Researchers suggest that personality is partially genetically determined, social influences are also important. Do these research findings fit your situation? Explain in depth.

  For this discussion I will use my father because he and I don’t have a great relationship, so I find it interesting, that despite not being close to him, I can still find similarities. I think that will be a good point of reference for the suggestion that personality is partially, genetically determined. My father has always been an aggressive person. His personality and demeanor can be described as aloof. He values things such as loyalty and is very selective about friends and who he bonds with. I also find that I am prone to being aggressive and quicker to anger than I would like. I have also been described as aloof, and I find that when I look at myself from an objective point of view, I see my father. Like my father, I also value loyalty and I am very selective with whom I allow to be close to me as friends. In our reading, Darwin’s natural selection which explains how certain individual characteristics are passed on to offspring for survival (Friedman et al., 2016) stood out to me in the topic of aggression; and to an extent, how we look at, and form relationships such as my father’s high expectations of loyalty. I imagine that going back generations, aggression was an adaptive characteristic to the environment in which ancestors of mine lived. Perhaps in a more distant and tribal setting, the characteristic that demands loyalty and an intense bond in the tribe served my ancestors greatly.I think my father and I are less similar in personality, however. This is part of why he and I have never shared a close relationship. A lot of it I find is due to culture. He still values aspects of the culture in which he was raised. I am a first generation American, and because of my closer generational ties to ancestral culture, I believe he expected me to conform more to his ideals. He would always mention how we (my siblings and I), would never have gotten away with the things we do being Americans, had we grown up in his culture. I am the youngest of the siblings, and I am by far the most rebellious in terms of following familial norms. My brother and sister are more in tune to what is expected of them from my parents than I. This is more noticeable now that we are older. My brother has an especially good relationship with my father despite their relationship being troubled when my brother was younger. I think my situation is in line with the research which suggests that personality is partially, genetically determined, and socially influenced as well. The details in how society influences those characteristics, however, seem unclear in my case. My siblings and I grew up in the same home, so why are they more like my parents culturally than I? I would like to read further into what individual experiences help shape siblings differently. While we grew up in the same home, in the same society, our friendships and exposures were unique.

• I think a quality that I share with both of my parents and my siblings is having a sense of humor. A quality that I share with my mom specifically is a deep care for people. A quality that I share with my dad is that we are both athletic. A difference that I see in my dad and me is that my dad has an addictive personality and I do not. Whatever phase my dad is into at any given moment, he is ALL in. This has led to some addictions in his life. Now, maybe it’s because I have seen his addictions in my life, I do not have an addictive personality. I am quite the opposite. I am cautious and think about the impact that my behaviors might have on other people. I do see many similarities between my first-degree relatives and myself. I believe that there are more similarities than differences. I think that personality is half determined by genetics, and the other half by social influences. I think that we are all born with certain temperaments. I see that in my own children. My first son was very social from the beginning. He would smile at everyone he would see. He was usually the center of attention. My second son was very shy for about the first two years of his life. I think through his environment, my second son learned that he better start upping his social game, or his older brother was going to get all the attention. Funny, my second son became the captain of the football team and has become a leader in his current environment.

• Write (at least 250 words, see online assignments section in syllabus for detailed instructions) about about a time you committed the Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE)First define the FAE in your own words.Next, think about experiences you’ve had and identify at least one time time you discovered that you had committed the FAE. If you have never discovered that you committed the FAE, think of an attribution you’ve made recently, where you could have potentially committed the FAE. Discuss what attribution you made and what attribution you overlooked that ultimately led you to committing the FAE in your situation.Finally, discuss what you learned from reflecting on the situation in which you committed (or might have committed) the FAE. Discuss how this will affect how your approach similar situations in the future.
