Q‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌uestion: Discuss the proposition that rather than being biologically hardwired (innate), emotions are phenomena that emerge in consciousness (constructed).

Then, on the basis of your discussion, give your own consideration of the following question: how does psychological theory impact on the way that children’s behaviour is described/understood? You may choose to illustrate this with examples from practice and research. Requirements of this assignment:

• Why is this topic important? What is the history of this topic? What are the related theories or findings? What is your claim or thesis statement? • What is the evidence that supports your claim? What evidence runs contrary to your claim and how do you reconcile that with your claim? The body of your paper should describe research that has previously been done on this topic, as well as any controversies or alternate opinions. At each stage of your discussion, you should relate the evidence you present to the major conclusions you are trying to make. As you will be aware by now, we expect you to be using peer-reviewed journal articles (ideally recent ones) as evidence in your essays.

• What is your final conclusion? What questions remain? What does your conclusion mean for other people’s theories or explanations? In this final section you should aim to synthesize the findings you described in the body into ‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌a succinct summary. You should return to the issues that you raised in the introduction, and close the loop. You should also discuss the possible implications of your argument for existing theories and for everyday life.

• References: Please use APA style Hints from instructor: find some paper that introduces the debate in emotion theory, and this question has been set so as to encourage you to contrast the theories that emotions are innate and the theories that they are constructed. In my mind, I think some essential emotions are acquired innately. but how children perform it and understand others expression are depending on how they nurtured and influenced by their families, peers, and culture. Thus, I would like to say neither one, innate/ constructed, is completely correct to explain how children develop their emotions, including both expressive and understanding skills, and performing behaviours. you will need to carry out literature searches appropriately and read carefully. You should look for, examples of the application of theory in the everyday world and the kinds of decisions that are taken about children. We want you to direct your attention to thinking about what can happen when a theory is treated as if it is a truth. Some of the things that feel justified in doing, because the theory implies they are correct, are unfair, unhelpful and even‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‍‌ unethical.
