Assignment Title: Exploring Human Behavior in Infancy: Interviewing Parents
Objective: The purpose of this assignment is to gain insight into the complex dynamics of human behavior during infancy by interviewing a parent or guardian who has a child. Through this interview, you will have the opportunity to explore the challenges, joys, and factors that influence human behavior in the early stages of life.
Instructions:
1. Identify an Interviewee: Reach out to a parent or guardian who has a child, preferably an infant or a child in their early years (0-3 years old). Ensure that the interviewee is willing to participate in the interview.
2. Conduct the Interview: Schedule a time to meet with your chosen interviewee. You can conduct the interview in person, over the phone, or through video conferencing, depending on your and your interviewee’s preferences.
3. Prepare Three Main Questions: During the interview, ask the interviewee the following three main questions to gain insight into human behavior in infancy. Feel free to ask follow-up questions for clarification and to dig deeper into their responses.
a. Question 1: What are some of the most significant changes you have observed in your child’s behavior from infancy to their current age (0-3 years old)? How do you think external factors (e.g., family, environment) have influenced these changes?
b. Question 2: Can you describe a specific challenge or milestone in your child’s early development that you found particularly interesting or surprising in terms of their behavior? How did you and your family adapt to support your child during this time?
c. Question 3: In your opinion, what role does the parent-child relationship play in shaping a child’s behavior during infancy? Can you share any strategies or experiences that have helped foster a positive and healthy parent-child bond?
4. Reflect on the Interview: After the interview, take some time to reflect on the insights gained from your interviewee’s responses. Consider how these experiences and observations align with theories and concepts related to human behavior in infancy that you have learned in this course.
