Self Evaluation

During our development as human beings we learn a lot of new skills and continue to grow until the end of our days. With this process happening some skills are more overt such as learning to drive, or learning an instrument. Others take place more singular and internality inside our heads. One of these skills is self-evaluation. If we take a psychosocial approach to our development the formation of the self-evaluation skill takes place in our middle childhood which is ages 6 to 12 years old. This skill along with cognitive development combine to form how we evaluate ourselves and view ourselves.

To understand the implication and actions of this we must first understand what the self-evaluation means. Newman and Newman (2014) define this

Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) provide results to a study about this. Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) inform us that the study took place in 1977 and included 557 children from 5 countries ages 6 to 10 years old. The ages being 6 to 10 years is important because this is during middle childhood which is the time that we discover our self-evaluation skills. Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) say that the follow up study which took 329 people from the original study which at the time of the new study they were ages 20 to 25 years old and obtained the criminal records and moving violation records of these people. Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) go on to say that the results from the test say that early childhood exposure to violent television predicted aggressive behavior for both males and females. Huesmann, Moise-Titus, Podolski, and Eron (2003) include that while the findings say that aggressive children may choose to watch more violent television programming it is more plausible to say that early childhood exposure to violent television stimulates increases in aggression later in
