Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.5K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

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;...

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.

Cross-Sectional Research

12.0K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

121
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Causes of Social Behavior III: Biological and Environmental Influences

Social behavior is a complex phenomenon that arises from the interaction between biological predispositions and environmental influences. This intricate interplay shapes how individuals think, feel, and act in various social contexts. Understanding these mechanisms requires insights from psychology, neuroscience, genetics, and evolutionary theory.Environmental Influences on Social BehaviorEnvironmental factors, including temperature, odors, and visual stimuli, play a crucial role in shaping...

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Health
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Problem gambling is a growing concern in adolescents, who are more vulnerable to negative outcomes than adults.
  • Minority youth face exacerbated gambling problems, yet remain understudied.
  • Rural African American youth represent a high-risk group for problematic gambling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate gambling frequency and problem rates in rural African American youth.
  • To identify risk factors linked to gambling problems in this demographic.
  • To explore adolescent preferences for different game types (skill vs. luck).

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from 270 African American youth (ages 14-17) in rural Georgia.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis used to differentiate between games of skill and luck.
  • Statistical analyses examined predictors of gambling frequency and problems.

Main Results:

  • 38% of youth reported past-year gambling; 11% of the total sample experienced gambling problems.
  • Gambling problems were associated with skill-based games, which were played more frequently than luck-based games.
  • Substance use and anger predicted gambling frequency; males gambled more, had more problems, and preferred skill games.

Conclusions:

  • Skill-based gambling is linked to higher problem rates among rural African American adolescents.
  • Substance use and anger are significant risk factors for adolescent gambling frequency and problems.
  • Targeted interventions for adolescent problem gambling should consider game type and risk factors like substance use.
