Bullying

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.

Conduct Disorder

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Aggression

Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for hire...

Group Design

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...

Parenting Styles

Parenting Styles

Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.
Diagnostic Criteria and...

[Violence against children].

Le Journal Medical Libanais. the Lebanese Medical Journal

Summary

Violence against children is a global issue affecting all societies, causing severe short- and long-term harm. Governments must act to protect children from all forms of violence, as it is neither justifiable nor inevitable.

Area of Science:

Child Protection Studies
Human Rights Law
Public Health

Background:

Violence against children is broadly defined by the Convention of Human Rights, encompassing physical, mental, and sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
It is a pervasive global problem, transcending geographical, racial, class, religious, and cultural divides, occurring in diverse settings like homes, schools, and institutions.
Vulnerability is heightened by factors such as gender, race, ethnicity, disability, and social status, with no country being immune.

Discussion:

The abstract highlights that perpetrators can include parents, family members, teachers, caretakers, law enforcement, and peers.
Consequences of violence are severe and long-lasting, leading to social, emotional, and cognitive impairments, and increased risk-taking behaviors like substance abuse and early sexual initiation.
Governments hold ultimate responsibility for child protection, with a duty to uphold human rights obligations and commitments.
