Bullying02:04

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.
Aggression01:47

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...

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;...
Group Design02:01

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...
Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth. This guiding role...
Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Summary

Youth violence is a growing global concern requiring socio-cultural understanding. Effective mental health interventions must be community-based and accessible, integrating clinical and social perspectives for prevention and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Criminology
  • Mental Health Services Research

Background:

  • Violence represents a significant public health challenge with considerable global variability.
  • Understanding youth violence necessitates a socio-cultural perspective due to differing intensity and frequency worldwide.
  • Youth violence, including serious offenses like murder, is an escalating concern in both Japan and the USA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the current status of youth violence in Japan and the USA.
  • To identify critical points for effective mental health interventions for youth violence.
  • To propose a dual perspective (clinical and social/community) for understanding and addressing youth violence.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of youth violence profiles in Japan and the USA.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective prevention and treatment of youth violence require robust, community-based mental health service systems.
    • Mental health services should be easily accessible to children, adolescents, and their families.
    • Adoption of a 'systems of care' philosophy is vital for comprehensive youth violence intervention.
