Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.4K
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...

Symbiosis00:58

Symbiosis

37.4K
Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

Predator-Prey Interactions02:39

Predator-Prey Interactions

21.6K
Predators consume prey for energy. Predators that acquire prey and prey that avoid predation both increase their chances of survival and reproduction (i.e., fitness). Routine predator-prey interactions elicit mutual adaptations that improve predator offenses, such as claws, teeth, and speed, as well as prey defenses, including crypsis, aposematism, and mimicry. Thus, predator-prey interactions resemble an evolutionary arms race.

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

26.9K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Obedience

35.6K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift01:09

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

64.2K
In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

Summary

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors occur in preschoolers, affecting 4-13%. Early identification of suicidal ideation (SI) and behavior (SB) is crucial as it predicts later occurrences in school-aged children.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Psychiatry
  • Child Psychology
  • Developmental Psychopathology

Background:

  • Suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal behavior (SB) are under-researched in very young children, despite clinical observations.
  • Prevalence rates for SI/SB in preschoolers (4-13%) and 3-7 year olds (1.6%-3%) indicate a significant clinical concern.
  • Variability in prevalence may stem from differing definitions of SI/SB and reporting biases.

Discussion:

  • Preschool SI/SB is strongly linked to child distress, psychopathology (e.g., ADHD, ODD, PTSD, depression), and external factors like abuse, neglect, and family instability.
  • Parental psychopathology and family instability are significant co-occurring factors with preschool SI/SB.
  • Impulsivity and nonsuicidal self-directed aggression are associated with SI/SB in this age group.

Key Insights:

  • Preschool SI/SB is a significant predictor of SI/SB in school-aged children (7-12 years), with nearly 75% of preschoolers exhibiting these behaviors continuing to do so.
  • The persistence of SI/SB from preschool to school age underscores the critical need for early assessment and intervention.

Outlook:

  • Further research is needed to refine definitions and assessment methods for SI/SB in preschoolers.
  • Developing targeted, timely interventions for young children exhibiting SI/SB is paramount to prevent long-term consequences.
  • Longitudinal studies are essential to fully understand the developmental trajectory of SI/SB from early childhood through adolescence.
