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...

Group Design

11.0K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

941
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...

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...

Impact of Individuals on Individuals

483
Human behavior is intricately shaped by social influences that arise from interactions with others in diverse contexts. These influences not only mold beliefs and attitudes but also drive the regulation of behaviors through both direct communication and observational learning. The study of these processes falls within the domain of social psychology, which seeks to understand how individuals are affected by and affect those around them.Mechanisms of Social InfluenceDirect social influence...

Causes of Social Behavior III: Biological and Environmental Influences

449
Social behavior is a complex phenomenon that arises from the interaction between biological predispositions and environmental influences. This intricate interplay shapes how individuals think, feel, and act in various social contexts. Understanding these mechanisms requires insights from psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and evolutionary theory.Environmental Influences on Social BehaviorEnvironmental factors, including temperature, odors, and visual stimuli, play a crucial role in shaping...

Area of Science:

  • Media Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Research on TV violence and aggression often overlooks moderating factors.
  • Limited understanding exists on conditions that enhance, mitigate, or reverse aggression-stimulating effects of media violence.
  • Focus has been on policy implications rather than nuanced individual differences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine variables moderating the influence of TV violence exposure on aggressive behavior.
  • To investigate how demographic factors (race, gender) interact with TV violence viewing.
  • To explore differential effects of TV violence on cognitive and social behaviors across diverse groups.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal correlational study design.
  • Data collected on TV violence viewing habits.
  • Assessment of social behaviors and cognitive attributes in elementary-school-age children.

Main Results:

  • TV violence viewing associated with lower cognitive attributes and negative social behaviors in White males and females.
  • Similar negative associations found for African-American females.
  • A distinct pattern of relationships emerged for African-American males, differing from other groups.

Conclusions:

  • Moderating factors, particularly race and gender, significantly alter the impact of TV violence.
  • The effects of media violence are not uniform across all viewers.
  • Further research is needed to understand the unique responses of African-American males to TV violence.
