Bullying

8.7K
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...

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

1.0K
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

7.2K
In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Bias01:22

Bias

6.8K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Area of Science:

  • Child Protection
  • Educational Psychology
  • Social Work

Background:

  • Schools play a crucial role in identifying and referring children and adolescents suspected of violence victimization.
  • Existing research indicates significant obstacles hindering timely reporting by school personnel.
  • A mixed-method approach is rarely used to explore these reporting barriers in depth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the extent to which suspected student victimization cases align with those reported by school staff in Spain.
  • To identify and categorize the reasons school staff provide for not reporting potential victimization cases.
  • To compare knowledge levels and sociodemographic characteristics of staff based on their reasons for non-reporting.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-method study involving 453 school staff members in Spain (83.5% female, mean age 42.23).
  • Analysis of reported vs. suspected victimization cases.
  • Classification of reasons for non-reporting and comparative analysis of respondent characteristics.

Main Results:

  • A high percentage of school staff (73.5%) detected at least one potential victimization case.
  • However, only 40.8% of these cases were referred to external agencies.
  • Primary reasons for non-reporting included internal school deliberations and a threshold of requiring certainty or severe violence.

Conclusions:

  • Findings illuminate the complex decision-making process school staff undertake regarding reporting potential child victimization.
  • There is a critical need to enhance awareness regarding the mandatory duty to report suspicions to external agencies.
  • Encouraging familiarity with established protocols and supporting staff, irrespective of management agreement, is essential.
