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...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

859
Affiliation motivation is the intrinsic desire to connect with others and belong to a social group, which plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining personal relationships. This type of motivation is essential for psychological well-being, as it provides individuals with a sense of community and support. An example of this is a student who joins a study group in order to feel a sense of connection. People with high affiliation motivation actively seek social approval, take satisfaction in...

Bystander Effect

9.5K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

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...

In- and Out-Groups

28.5K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

12.8K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Bullying and inmate-on-inmate violence are prevalent issues in correctional settings, particularly in Young Offender Institutions (YOIs).
  • Emerging theories suggest a connection between experiencing victimization and engaging in bullying behaviors within closed custody environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between prior victimization and subsequent bullying behavior among young inmates.
  • To analyze the extent of bullying and victimization in German YOIs.
  • To examine the influence of age on bullying and victimization patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal survey data collected at two time points from 473 inmates (aged 15-24) in three German YOIs.
  • Analysis of bullying and victimization prevalence.
  • Longitudinal structural equation modeling to predict bullying behavior at time 2 based on victimization at time 1, controlling for age.

Main Results:

  • High rates of both bullying and victimization were observed in the studied YOIs.
  • A significant overlap exists, with most inmates reporting being both a bully and a victim.
  • Younger inmates exhibited more direct physical bullying, but not psychological bullying.
  • Prior victimization significantly predicted increases in psychological bullying over time.

Conclusions:

  • The findings support theoretical assumptions linking victimization to the development of bullying behavior in young offenders.
  • Victimization is a key factor in the escalation of psychological bullying among incarcerated youth.
  • Results have implications for targeted prevention and intervention strategies within correctional facilities.
