Schemas

12.1K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

483
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Reason and Intuition

7.1K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

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...

Stimulants01:29

Stimulants

580
Stimulants are substances that enhance neural activity and elevate dopamine levels in the brain, leading to their highly addictive nature. These drugs include cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, caffeine, and nicotine, each with distinct mechanisms of action and varied health implications.
Cocaine can be administered via snorting, injection, or smoking. It primarily functions by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, resulting in a euphoric high characterized by an intense sensation of happiness and...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

42.1K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Traffic Safety Research
  • Psychology of Driving
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Young drivers are a high-risk group for traffic accidents.
  • Risky driving behaviors, including cell phone use, are prevalent.
  • Impulsivity is a known personality trait linked to risk-taking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if cell phone use is distinct from other risky driving behaviors.
  • To examine the relationship between risky driving, crashes, and impulsivity in young drivers.
  • To determine the independent contribution of cell phone use to crashes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective online survey of 384 young drivers in the U.S.
  • Measurement of risky driving practices, cell phone use, crash history, and impulsivity traits.
  • Statistical analyses including factor analysis and structural equation modeling.

Main Results:

  • Cell phone use was strongly associated with other risky driving practices.
  • Risky driving behaviors were linked to a history of crashes.
  • Impulsivity indirectly related to crashes through risky driving.
  • Frequent cell phone use did not independently predict crashes.

Conclusions:

  • Young drivers exhibit a pattern of risky driving linked to impulsivity.
  • Cell phone use is part of a broader set of risky driving behaviors.
  • Comprehensive safe driving strategies should address multiple risky practices, including cell phone use, especially for impulsive young drivers.
