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...

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.

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. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. 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...

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...

Background:

Adolescent dating violence is a significant public health issue.
Understanding the specific aggressive events is key to intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a typology of common aggressive events in adolescent dating violence.
To provide a framework for situational analysis of dating violence.

Main Methods:

Qualitative analysis of 42 interview transcripts from young adults (ages 18-21) describing adolescent dating violence (ages 13-18).
Extraction and cross-case analysis of 184 text units describing aggressive events.
Categorization of events based on shared characteristics.

Main Results:

Identification of eight distinct types of aggressive events: tumultuous, explosive, scuffling, violating, threatening, controlling, disparaging, and rejecting/ignoring/disrespecting.
The typology offers a detailed situational perspective on adolescent dating violence.

Conclusions:

The developed typology provides a foundation for further research into the situational aspects of adolescent dating violence.
This typology can serve as a tool for discussing dating violence with youth experiencing or at risk of victimization.
