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...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

42.8K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

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...

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...

Conduct Disorder

685
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

The early parent-child relationship serves as a foundational influence on a child's self-concept, with long-lasting effects extending into adolescence and adulthood.Parental Behaviors and Early Self-Esteem FormationEmpirical studies have identified four principal parental behaviors that foster healthy self-esteem in children. These include expressions of acceptance, affection, and...

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Peer victimization is a significant factor affecting children's social and emotional development.
  • The precise impact of peer victimization on objectively measured academic performance remains unclear.
  • Understanding this relationship is vital for developing effective educational and support strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the cross-sectional associations between peer victimization and academic performance in a large Australian child population sample.
  • To investigate differences in these associations based on the type of victimization (physical vs. verbal) and gender.
  • To provide empirical evidence for the link between peer victimization and academic outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A stratified random sample of 8- to 9-year-old children from Australian primary schools was recruited.
  • Academic performance was assessed using a national achievement test.
  • Physical and verbal victimization were measured through child self-report, with data analyzed using multilevel mixed-effects linear regression.

Main Results:

  • Verbal victimization was linked to poorer performance in writing and grammar/punctuation for girls.
  • Physical victimization was associated with lower scores in numeracy and writing for both genders, and for girls specifically in writing.
  • Both types of victimization correlated with diminished performance across reading, writing, spelling, and grammar/punctuation, particularly for girls.

Conclusions:

  • Physically victimized children demonstrated academic performance 6-9 months behind their peers.
  • These findings underscore the need for educational systems to prioritize bullying prevention and foster positive peer interactions from early school years.
  • Interventions targeting peer victimization may have a positive effect on academic achievement.
