Bullying

7.9K
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...

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...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

4.7K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

1.0K
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...

Summary

Social exclusion, or marginalization, can increase aggression in adolescents. This effect is mediated by negative stereotypes about society, with aggression also reinforcing perceptions of exclusion.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Social exclusion is a known precursor to aggression.
  • Longitudinal research on societal-level exclusion (marginalization) and aggression is lacking.
  • Media reports link societal exclusion to violent events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the longitudinal impact of perceived marginalization on aggression in adolescents.
  • To examine the mediating role of negative societal meta-stereotypes.
  • To explore the reciprocal relationship between aggression and perceived marginalization.

Main Methods:

  • A two-wave longitudinal study design.
  • Sample of 181 adolescents with low educational backgrounds.
  • Structural equation modeling for data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Perceived marginalization significantly enhances aggression.
  • Negative societal meta-stereotypes mediate the relationship between marginalization and aggression.
  • Aggression also predicts increased perceptions of marginalization.

Conclusions:

  • Perceived marginalization is a significant predictor of adolescent aggression.
  • Societal meta-stereotypes play a crucial role in this pathway.
  • The findings have implications for interventions targeting disadvantaged youth.
