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.
Conduct Disorder01:28

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;...
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...

Impact of Groups on Groups

Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...
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...
Competition02:34

Competition

When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Sociology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Bullying is often associated with gang involvement.
  • However, the specific nature of bullying within youth gangs remains unclear.
  • This study addresses whether bullying occurs within gangs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically analyze bullying in the context of youth gangs.
  • To examine the relationship between bullying and violence within gangs.
  • To understand bullying's role in individual gang members' behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on youth gangs and violence.
  • Theoretical analysis of the bullying-violence relationship in gangs.
  • Study group comprised young men aged 12-25.

Main Results:

  • Bullying correlates with reasons for gang affiliation and gang-related behaviors.
  • Violence occurring within gangs is qualitatively different from typical bullying.
  • The term 'bullying' may not accurately describe intra-gang violence.

Conclusions:

  • Bullying has implications for street violence but is less applicable to intra-gang violence.
  • Understanding the nuances of gang violence requires differentiating it from bullying.
  • Further research can explore bullying's role in subsequent street violence.
