Cognitive Development During Adolescence

355
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

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.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.6K
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
  • Media Studies

Background:

  • Parental concerns regarding Generation Alpha's media use are rising.
  • Assumptions link excessive media consumption to sedentary behavior, mental health issues, and risky online content exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the validity of assumptions about the negative impacts of media consumption in young people.
  • To analyze the relationship between media use, sedentary behavior, mental health, and other risk factors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the 2014 Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study for Belgium.
  • Conducted a bibliographical search of online databases for articles published between 2014 and 2019.
  • Selected 27 original research articles and meta-analyses.

Main Results:

  • Media consumption significantly increased in 2014, but no parallel rise in sedentary behavior was observed.
  • Approximately 5% of young people exhibit unusual internet use, with 97.5% meeting criteria for a mental disorder.
  • Risk factors for problematic internet use include familial, personality, peer influence, supply, and specific factors related to sexual content and suicidal behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Generation Alpha's increased screen time does not inherently place them at greater risk unless multiple risk factors are present.
  • Emerging challenges include managing online privacy and the impact of readily available online information on knowledge acquisition.
