For episode homepage, resources and links, visit: https://kristenmanieri.com/episode95/    Description Human development, which crosses psychology, biology, neuroscience and sociology, asks: why are we the way we are? This was one of the questions that drove four researchers to study thousands of people from birth to midlife in the US, Great Britain and New Zealand. In their new book, The Origins of You: How Childhood Shapes Later Life, these four leading psychologists share their findings so far. The result is unprecedented insight into what makes each of us who we are and the awareness that human development is not subject to ironclad laws but instead is a matter of possibilities and probabilities―multiple forces that together determine the direction a life will take.   Guest Bio Professor Jay Belsky is the Robert M. and Natalie Reid Dorn Professor of Human Development at the University of California, Davis (2011-present). He obtained his Ph.D. in 1978 in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University. Professor Belsky is an internationally recognized expert in the field of child development and family studies. His areas of special expertise include effects of day care, parent-child relations and other developmental experiences and environmental exposures early in life on psychological and behavioral development, the transition to parenthood, the etiology of child maltreatment and the evolutionary basis of parent and child functioning.

EP95: How You Become You with Jay Belsky 

The Children of the Future Jay Belsky, PhD ----------- “I don’t know the meaning of life, but I know the purpose of life. It is to create more life.” - Jay Belsky  We’re cavemen pretending to be academic, political, cerebral, and romantic when really we’re mostly motivated by survival and procreation. This is simultaneously depressing and relieving since it explains away some of our most ridiculous actions. On this week’s podcast, Professor Belsky will share with us his life’s research around adaptation, the importance of fatherhood, and a potential “better way” than the American model for child-rearing.  Listen &amp; Learn:   How behaviors often labelled maladapted are really perfectly adapted given the environments some children are raised in How to think about the role of the mother vs. the father in a child’s life Why fathers run away and mother’s stay The hardcore truth about the purpose of life    Links &amp; Resources:  Jay’s new book,  The Origins of You  ABOUT OUR GUEST Professor Jay Belsky is an expert in child development and family studies. He specializes in daycare, parent-child relations during the infancy and early childhood years, the transition to parenthood, the etiology of child maltreatment and the evolutionary basis of parent and child functioning. He is the author of more than 300 scientific articles and chapters and the author/editor of several books, including, The National Evaluation of Sure Start: Does Area-Based Early Intervention Work.

Professor Belsky is an internationally recognized expert in the field of child development and family studies. His areas of expertise include the effects of day care, parent-child relations during the infancy and early childhood years (including attachment), the transition to parenthood, the etiology of child maltreatment and the evolutionary basis of parent and child functioning. Dr. Belsky's research is marked by a focus upon fathers as well as mothers, marriages as well as parent-child relations, and naturalistic home observations of family interaction patterns. He is a founding and collaborating investigator on the NICHD Study of Child Care and Youth Development (US) and The National Evaluation of Sure Start (UK). He is the author of more than 300 scientific articles and chapters and the author/editor of several books. In this episode, we talk about childhood and attachment theory. We start off by talking about the evolutionary and ecological bases of parent-offspring relationships, including parent-offspring conflict, and the different evolved strategies of attachment. We also discuss modern attachment theory, and the main differences between it and classical attachment theory as developed first by John Bowlby, how it relates to life history theory, and the several different attachment styles that we have, including secure/autonomous, avoidant/dismissing, resistant/preoccupied, and disorganized. In the second part of the interview we also refer to parent-offspring conflict and child maltreatment; the risks and benefits of daycare; and differential susceptibility in children to different life circumstances during their development and different parenting styles.  Time Links: 01:22 The evolutionary bases of parent-offspring relationships 04:51 Different evolved strategies of attachment           07:10 Are people maladapted to our modern environments?    10:29 The factors behind how people develop attachment styles         13:33 Modern attachment theory and the differences between it and classical attachment theory, as developed by John Bowlby       17:08 Attachment theory and life history theory           22:43 Attachment styles      27:53 The importance of individual differences in children   31:07 Child maltreatment  36:47 The risks and benefits of daycare 41:52 Differential susceptibility in children 52:26 Follow Dr. Belsky’s work!
