The Stanford Prison Experiment03:20

The Stanford Prison Experiment

24.6K
The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

1.5K
Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Growth Models with Integration: Problem Solving

49
In population modeling, integration provides a systematic way to determine accumulated quantities from known rates of change. One such application arises in ecology, where the total weight of a fish population in a body of water is referred to as its biomass. When the rate of growth of this biomass is known as a function of time, calculus can be used to determine the total biomass at a future date.Growth Rate and Biomass FunctionLet the growth rate of the fish population be represented by a...

Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

1.0K
Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.6K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

253
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Sociology
  • Penal Studies

Background:

  • Prison misconduct is a significant challenge in correctional facilities.
  • Existing research often uses integrated models to understand inmate behavior.
  • Life-course perspectives and importation models are key theoretical frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate and expand upon existing prison misconduct research.
  • To examine the relationship between inmate characteristics and misconduct trajectories.
  • To identify distinct patterns of misconduct, focusing on chronic offenders.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized longitudinal data from a large sample of U.S. inmates.
  • Employed an integrated model combining developmental/life-course and importation perspectives.
  • Systematically analyzed inmate characteristics and their association with misconduct patterns.

Main Results:

  • A smaller subset of inmates exhibits persistent criminal careers and high misconduct levels.
  • Specific inmate characteristics effectively distinguish high-risk/persistent offenders from low-rate offenders.
  • Identified distinct misconduct trajectories among the incarcerated population.

Conclusions:

  • Inmate characteristics are crucial for identifying persistent offenders.
  • Findings can inform the design of tailored prison services and rehabilitation programs.
  • Understanding misconduct trajectories is vital for effective correctional management.
