Children’S Drawings

To help confirm the concept that distances placed between the self and other figures in children's drawings represent emotional distances, 242 pet-owning and 35 nonpet-owning kindergarteners through eighth graders drew pictures of themselves, a pet, and/or a family member. Owners drew pets significantly closer than family-figures although the younger the child, the greater the distance between self and pet. Older children drew themselves holding pets significantly more often, but younger children placed the family-figure between the self and the pet significantly more often. There were no significant gender differences in self-figure/pet-figure distances, but cats, dogs, caged animals, and farm animals were placed significantly closer to self-figures than were fish. Over-all, owners were clearly emotionally closer to pets than to family members, but nonowners were as close emotionally to family members as were owners.

The Impact

The prevention of cognitive dismoderate intercourse depends on the distinction of the basic behavioral stereotypes, blocking, moderation (this is a moderate, correct measure) regarding the adequate processing of information between the reflective representations of personality and the importance of the process of personality of communication. The study identifies the main aspects of the relationships of children in the family environment, influencing the process of cognitive dismoderate intercourse, through a projective methodology. Inductive for inferior interactions between family members is the arrangement of the drawings on the left side of the leaf, predominantly in pale colors. The importance of perception, as a sensory perception in children's drawings, is projected, as a reflection of things in the mind, through the sensory organs, indicative of cognitive dismoderate intercourse, is the blunting of the basic logical conclusions of the communicative process in the preponderance of emotional conclusions. The pale colors in the children's drawings, as well as the too bright ones, are indicative of cognitive deficits in communication. The reflective attitude of children to the events and events of their relationships with their parents influences the process of immediate active reflection on the cognitive spheres in the human mind, through internally personal and external objects, situations, positions, phenomena that determine the dysmoderate breaking of feedback in interactions. A large percentage of the students surveyed do not portray their family members holding hands, which is indicative of the lack of trust between family members, in their joint communication processes, they doubt their sincerity towards each other. Distant figures of family members are observed in the images in children's drawings; in practice, this is an indicator of alienation between family members. Basically, children's drawings lack eyelashes, when depicting family members, this is indicative of the lack of interest of family members towards each other. The lack of understanding of the problematic relationships between parents and children enhances the process of cognitive dismoderate intercourse between them, this type of relationship, the children transfer to the school environment. When children draw long arms in the image of their family, this indicator shows the presence in the mind of the child of an overbearing, arrogant and mentally burdensome person. The preventive importance of social interactions and attitudes has emerged, through the indicators of children's drawings indicating the behavioral tendencies and energy charge of adolescents, mainly in their behavior, a rich emotional world of manifested emotions is observed, but most of them are of a negative nature due to blocking and behavioral stressors.

This article discusses the construction of a Jewish aristocratic identity through art collecting and patronage, in parallel with other “aristocratic” activities and lifestyles. The focus is a particular Galican family ennobled by Franz Joseph I in 1881. The family’s ambitions and achievements are known from a memoir by Artur Lilien-Brzozdowiecki (1890, Lviv-1958, London), who was a great-great-grandson of the community head Rachmiel von Mises (1800-1891), a distant cousin of the artist Moses Ephraim Lilien (1874-1925), and a grandson of the banker Ignacy Lilien, who financed Moses Ephraim’s education. The article considers the self-construction of the family members as art connoisseurs and artists. These included the banker, industrialist, artist, and art collector Maurycy Nierenstein (1840-1917); painter Helene von Mises (1883-1942); architect Marya Lilien (1900-1998); and economist, lawyer, army officer, and collector Artur Lilien-Brzozdowiecki.

Children’S Exposure

To explore how children come to adopt cultural forms of representation, three studies are presented. Study 1 asks about children's ability to discriminate between 'younger' and 'older' pieces of work, with 'younger and 'older' distinguished on the basis of Developmental Drawing Status (Harris 1963). Study 2 asks about children's preferences and the extent to which they match those of teachers. Study 3 asks about the differences between drawings children produce for themselves and those they produce when asked by an adult for a 'good' drawing. The underlying assumption is that one condition influencing developmental change is children's exposure to work by adults or by older children. The results point to ways of combining cross-cultural comparisons of performances with monocultural work on processes underlying children's productions. They also raise questions about patterns of exposure in any cultural context and about factors involved in the development of discriminations, preferences, and audience expectations.

Self Recognition

The capacity to track another’s perspective is present from early in life, with young infants ostensibly able to predict others’ behaviour even when the self and other perspective are at odds. Yet, infants’ abilities are difficult to reconcile with the well-documented challenge that older children face when they need to ignore their own perspective. Here we provide evidence that it is the emergence of self-representation, from around 18 months, that likely creates a perspective conflict between self and other. Using mirror self-recognition as a measure of self-awareness and pupil dilation to index conflict processing, our results show that mirror recognisers perceive greater conflict than non-recognisers when viewing a scenario in which the self and other have divergent perspectives, specifically when the conflict between self and other is salient. These results suggest that infants’ perspective tracking abilities may benefit from an initial absence of self-representation.

Abstract The self-bias is a robust effect where self-related information is processed with greater priority than other-related information. Interestingly, the advantages of self-bias can be extended to close others – faster and more accurate responses for one’s mother and best friend have been observed compared to strangers – suggesting that significant others play an important role in the formation of one’s self-concept. Moreover, important life experiences such as childbirth can also impact the self-concept. Motherhood is a major transformation for women as one prepares to become a mother while maintaining the integrity of the pre-pregnant self-concept to achieve an ideal maternal self. The current study explored how the transition into motherhood changes the self-concept and subsequently impact the categorization of information for family members in postpartum mothers. In two experiments, results consistently revealed biases towards the self and close kin (one’s baby and mother) regardless of stimulus type (names in Experiment 1, faces in Experiment 2) and response category (self/other, family/non-family, familiar/non-familiar). A family bias (for baby and mother) over friend was observed in the family/non-family but not in the familiar/non-familiar categorization task, suggesting that motherhood may enhance the boundary between family and non-family to facilitate the processing of family-related information.

Some problems are often faced in educating children to be self-reliant. On the other hand independency is much required in their future life. This research conducted in RSPA Cisurupan, Garut, in April 2010 until April 2011, aimed at developing an integrated training model to improve function and social roles of the children in the independency. Employing research and development design with planning, preparation, implementation and maintaining, as well as evaluation, the model development involved the parents or the family members and the children. The research produced the Integrated Training Model to Improve the Function and Social Roles of the Children in Developing the Self-reliance, which had been validated in this research.
