Bullying

8.5K
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.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.2K
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...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

283
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...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

107
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

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...

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent mental health
  • Social media impact
  • Suicidality research

Background:

  • Adolescent mental health crises are a significant public health concern.
  • Social media use is pervasive among adolescents and may influence mental health.
  • Understanding the nuanced role of social media in adolescent suicidality is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the social media experiences of suicidal adolescents presenting with acute mental health crises.
  • To identify both negative and positive impacts of social media on acute adolescent suicidal behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews with 17 adolescents experiencing acute mental health crises.
  • Grounded theory approach with independent coding by three investigators.
  • Thematic saturation achieved through iterative data collection and analysis in Dedoose software.

Main Results:

  • Key themes included social media as distraction from negative emotions and a facilitator of social connection.
  • Participants reported social comparison, desensitization to suicidal acts, and increased time on platforms.
  • Positive social media experiences were also identified as potentially protective.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent social media experiences in acute suicidality reflect themes of alienation and learned suicidal behaviors.
  • Findings align with existing suicide theories, highlighting both risks and protective factors.
  • Positive social media interactions can inform strategies to mitigate acute suicidal behaviors.
