Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

219
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Bullying

8.6K
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...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects01:29

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

116
Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

29.1K
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...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development01:30

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

136
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Child Psychiatry
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Informant discrepancies in adolescent aggression are poorly understood.
  • Longitudinal evaluation is crucial for understanding agreement/disagreement patterns over time.
  • Reporter perspectives influence the perceived developmental trajectory of aggression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine longitudinal informant discrepancies in adolescent aggressive behavior problems.
  • To investigate contextual factors influencing these discrepancies.
  • To analyze changes in parent-adolescent agreement on aggression from ages 11.5 to 15.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized five waves of multi-informant data from the PROSPER project (N=977).
  • Analyzed mother, father, and adolescent reports of aggressive behavior problems.
  • Tested longitudinal changes in informant discrepancies and predictive factors.

Main Results:

  • Parents reported higher aggression than adolescents at age 11.5.
  • Discrepancies initially converged then diverged over time.
  • Adolescents reported more aggression than parents by age 15.
  • Parental hostility, family status, and adolescent gender predicted discrepancy changes.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent aggression reporting shifts significantly from parent to self-report during adolescence.
  • Contextual factors like parental hostility and adolescent gender shape these reporting differences.
  • Accurate assessment of adolescent aggression requires considering informant perspectives and developmental changes.
