Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.7K
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...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

2.0K
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...

Bullying

9.0K
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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.9K
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...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

954
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Values guide adolescent behavior, influencing perceptions of justified actions.
  • Previous research links values and aggression, but less is known about youth and the directionality of this relationship.
  • Adolescence is a critical period for value development and social behavior, including aggression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine concurrent and longitudinal relationships between values and peer-nominated aggression in adolescents.
  • To investigate the directionality of the association between values and aggression over time.
  • To explore how different value types (self-enhancement, openness to change, self-transcendence, conservation) relate to aggression.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study with 678 Israeli adolescents (8th-10th grade) across 3 time points (1-year intervals).
  • Utilized the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ) to assess values.
  • Measured aggression using 6 items of peer nominations.

Main Results:

  • Concurrent positive associations found between aggression and self-enhancement and openness to change values.
  • Concurrent negative associations observed between aggression and self-transcendence and conservation values.
  • Self-enhancement values predicted future aggression; self-transcendence values demonstrated mutual associations with aggression over time.

Conclusions:

  • Values are significantly associated with adolescent aggression, both concurrently and longitudinally.
  • Self-enhancement values may predispose adolescents to future aggression.
  • Self-transcendence values appear to have a reciprocal relationship with aggression during adolescence.
