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...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

552
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.5K
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...

Social Relationships and Well-Being

97
The significance of social relationships in psychological well-being is a well-established area of inquiry within social psychology. Research consistently demonstrates that the presence of meaningful, supportive relationships enhances emotional health, while the absence or deterioration of such connections can contribute to psychological distress. Relationships serve as a foundation for emotional support, identity, and social belonging, all of which are critical to an individual’s overall...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Development
  • Social Neuroscience

Background:

  • Peer victimization is linked to socio-emotional challenges in adolescents.
  • Adolescence is a critical period for social development and peer relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate heterogeneity among victimized adolescents.
  • To examine social functioning and loneliness in different victim groups.

Main Methods:

  • Used a multidimensional peer nomination measure.
  • Sample: 440 Portuguese adolescents (11-17 years).
  • Identified three groups: anxiously withdrawn victims, non-anxiously withdrawn victims, and non-victims.

Main Results:

  • Anxiously withdrawn victims were perceived as more excluded, less aggressive, and less popular.
  • Non-anxiously withdrawn victims were seen as more excluded and aggressive.
  • Anxiously withdrawn victims reported higher social and emotional loneliness with peers.

Conclusions:

  • Victimized youth are a heterogeneous group with varying social behaviors.
  • Anxious withdrawal influences peer perceptions and feelings of loneliness.
  • Loneliness was specific to peer relationships, not family.
