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...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

374
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...

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective

443
In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology provides one explanation for these findings, suggesting...

Factors Influencing Attraction I: Proximity

362
Proximity plays a fundamental role in shaping interpersonal attraction by increasing opportunities for interaction and fostering familiarity. Research consistently demonstrates that individuals are more likely to form social bonds with those who are physically closer to them, whether in residential settings, workplaces, or educational institutions. This effect is largely driven by the increased frequency of encounters, which facilitates the development of friendships and romantic...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Cyberpsychology

Background:

  • The theory of planned behavior posits attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control predict behavior.
  • Previous research on risky online behaviors has not adequately explored gender differences in these predictors.
  • Understanding social and cognitive factors influencing adolescent online risks is crucial for developing targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the social and cognitive antecedents of risky online behaviors in adolescents.
  • To examine gender-specific differences in the predictors of risky online behaviors.
  • To identify key factors influencing adolescent engagement in online risks.

Main Methods:

  • Structural equation modeling was used to analyze data from 495 Israeli students (grades 6-11).
  • Measures included frequency of posting personal details, sending insults, and meeting online strangers.
  • The study modeled attitudes, subjective norms (peers and parents), and perceived behavior control.

Main Results:

  • For boys, peers' subjective norms, parents' subjective norms, and perceived behavior control predicted risky online behavior.
  • For girls, only parents' subjective norms were significantly associated with risky online behavior.
  • Family factors emerged as the strongest predictors of risky online behavior among girls.

Conclusions:

  • Gender plays a significant role in the factors influencing adolescent risky online behaviors.
  • Parental influence, particularly subjective norms, is a critical factor for both genders, but especially for girls.
  • Future interventions should consider gender-specific approaches to mitigate online risks in adolescents.
