Bullying

8.8K
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...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.2K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

7.3K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

42.4K
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...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.0K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

The Representativeness Heuristic02:13

The Representativeness Heuristic

16.7K
The representative heuristic describes a biased way of thinking, in which you unintentionally stereotype someone or something. For example, you may assume that your professors spend their free time reading books and engaging in intellectual conversation, because the idea of them spending their time playing volleyball or visiting an amusement park does not fit in with your stereotypes of professors.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Teacher victimization is a prevalent issue, comparable to student victimization, but receives less research attention.
  • Existing research on school crime and student victimization is more extensive than that on teacher victimization.
  • Criminological theories are underutilized in explaining the phenomenon of teacher victimization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between communal school organization and teacher victimization.
  • To address the research gap concerning teacher victimization within the framework of criminological theory.
  • To analyze data from a nationally representative sample of U.S. public school teachers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a nationally representative sample of 37,497 teachers from 7,488 U.S. public schools.
  • Examined the hierarchical relationship between communal school organization and teacher victimization.
  • Employed statistical analysis to assess the impact of school environment on teacher safety.

Main Results:

  • A significant inverse relationship was found between communal school organization and teacher victimization.
  • Teachers reported experiencing less victimization in schools characterized by higher levels of communal organization.
  • Communal school organization emerged as a protective factor against teacher victimization.

Conclusions:

  • Stronger communal organization in schools is associated with reduced teacher victimization.
  • Findings suggest that fostering a sense of community within schools may be an effective strategy for enhancing teacher safety.
  • Implications for school-based delinquency prevention and creating safer educational environments are discussed.
