Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.4K
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.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

50.9K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Social Facilitation

32.7K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Modeling in Therapy

141
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Group Therapy01:26

Group Therapy

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Child Development
  • Public Health

Background:

  • School connectedness (SC) is a key factor linked to positive health and academic achievements in students.
  • Understanding the elements that shape students' perceptions of SC is crucial for educational interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify factors influencing fifth and sixth graders' perceptions of school connectedness.
  • To investigate the association between participation in structured school recreation and students' SC.

Main Methods:

  • A concurrent mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative journaling with quantitative surveys.
  • Data were collected from 330 fifth and sixth graders across two Phoenix schools, with 129 students participating in recreation surveys.
  • Qualitative data were analyzed using deductive and inductive thematic analysis, while quantitative data underwent one-way ANOVA.

Main Results:

  • Eight core themes emerged influencing SC: Relationships, Competence, Autonomy, Relaxation, Recreation, Fun, Academics, and Environment.
  • Students participating in structured recreation activities, both in-class and during recess, reported significantly higher levels of school connectedness (p < .05).

Conclusions:

  • Structured recreation offers a viable and engaging method for schools to enhance student connectedness.
  • Implementing recreational opportunities can foster supportive adult-student and peer relationships, thereby improving overall SC.
