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.
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...

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...
Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension could be...
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...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Student violence, including rape and sexual assault, is a persistent issue on college campuses.
  • Research often overlooks violence occurring during college years and underrepresented student populations.
  • Previous studies have not extensively examined violence experienced by Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, LGBTQ+ individuals, and racial/ethnic minorities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence of sexual violence, physical abuse, and psychological abuse among underrepresented college student groups.
  • To analyze victimization rates by gender, race/ethnicity, auditory status, and sexual orientation.
  • To identify specific risks faced by diverse student populations regarding various forms of campus violence.

Main Methods:

  • A random sample of 1,028 college students from a private northeastern technological campus was surveyed.
  • Data were collected on sexual violence, physical abuse, and psychological abuse experiences.
  • Binary logistic regression analyses were used to compare victimization rates across demographic groups.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant differences in violence victimization were found between underrepresented groups and majority groups.
  • Deaf and Hard of Hearing students and gay, lesbian, bisexual, or other sexual orientation students showed significant associations with psychological and physical abuse.
  • Racial and ethnic minorities and gay, lesbian, bisexual, or other sexual orientation students were at higher risk for sexual abuse; these groups, along with female students, were more likely to be raped.

Conclusions:

  • Underrepresented student populations experience disproportionately higher rates of campus violence.
  • Specific demographic factors, including sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and auditory status, are linked to increased risk for various forms of abuse and rape.
  • Findings underscore the need for targeted research and policy interventions to address campus violence among diverse student groups.
