Bullying

8.9K
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...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

231
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.8K
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:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Development

Background:

  • Social media use is prevalent among adolescents.
  • Limited data exists on problematic social media use prevalence in teenage populations.
  • Understanding at-risk groups is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the prevalence of problematic social media use among Hungarian adolescents.
  • To identify characteristics of adolescents at risk.
  • To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS).

Main Methods:

  • Survey of a nationally representative sample of 5,961 Hungarian adolescents.
  • Utilized the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS).
  • Employed latent profile analysis to identify risk groups.

Main Results:

  • 4.5% of adolescents were identified as belonging to the at-risk group for problematic social media use.
  • At-risk adolescents reported lower self-esteem and higher levels of depression symptoms.
  • The BSMAS demonstrated appropriate psychometric properties for this population.

Conclusions:

  • Problematic social media use affects a significant minority of adolescents.
  • Adolescents exhibiting risk factors require targeted school-based prevention and intervention.
  • The BSMAS is a reliable tool for assessing social media addiction risk.
