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.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

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...

Attachment Styles

Jeffrey Simpson's attachment theory suggests that early caregiver relationships shape lasting patterns of behavior and emotional regulation, known as attachment styles. These patterns are organized along two key dimensions: self-esteem and interpersonal trust. The intersection of these dimensions produces four primary attachment styles that typically persist throughout life and significantly influence how individuals form and maintain relationships.Secure Attachment StyleIndividuals with a...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy.

The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the recognition that people have...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

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...

Area of Science:

Psychology
Sociology
Public Health

Background:

School-based and electronic victimization share negative outcomes.
Unique associations between victimization contexts and adolescent adjustment remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the overlapping and unique associations of school-based and electronic victimization with adolescents' adjustment.
To examine the impact of different types of electronic victimization on psychological outcomes.

Main Methods:

Survey of 802 ninth-graders assessing school and electronic victimization prevalence.
Self-report measures for self-esteem, self-efficacy, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and locus of control.

Main Results:

Victimization in both contexts correlated with lower self-esteem/self-efficacy and higher stress/anxiety/depressive symptoms/locus of control.
Electronic victimization significantly predicted adjustment outcomes, independent of school-based victimization.
Specific types of electronic victimization were linked to distinct psychological outcomes.

Conclusions:

It is crucial to differentiate between victimization contexts (school vs. electronic) and specific adjustment outcomes.
Findings inform school and health officials in addressing peer victimization effects.
