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...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

373
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

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...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

381
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Relationship with Other Adult Family Members and Siblings

235
Other adult family members and siblings play a crucial role in shaping children’s social and emotional development. While parents or primary caregivers are often the central figures in early attachment and socialization, other adults in a child’s life, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles, can significantly influence developmental outcomes. These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Intervention Studies
  • Social Dynamics

Background:

  • Bullying significantly impacts children's social development and well-being.
  • School-based interventions are crucial for addressing peer victimization.
  • Lunchtime provides a unique social context for observing and intervening in peer dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine change processes in school-based lunchtime mentoring for bullied children.
  • To assess the impact of Lunch Buddy (LB) mentoring on peer relationships.
  • To determine if changes in lunchtime relationships predict key outcomes like social preference and victimization.

Main Methods:

  • Open trial of the Lunch Buddy (LB) mentoring program over one semester.
  • Data collected from 24 bullied children participating in the mentoring program.
  • Analysis of changes in lunchtime peer relationships and their predictive power for post-mentoring outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Partial support found for improved lunchtime peer relationships among bullied children in LB mentoring.
  • Gains in lunchtime relationships predicted post-mentoring social preference and peer victimization.
  • Child-rated mentor support and conflict, not overall relationship ratings, predicted improvements in lunchtime peer relationships.

Conclusions:

  • School-based lunchtime mentoring shows promise as a selective intervention for bullied children.
  • Improvements in peer relationships during lunchtime are linked to positive social outcomes.
  • Further research is needed to optimize mentoring strategies for bullied youth.
