Bullying

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.

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them.

Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived.

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.

Stress and Mental Health

195
Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.8K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Suicidal behavior is a major global health concern, especially among university students.
  • Problematic internet use (PIU) is an emerging risk factor for suicidal behavior in young populations.
  • Limited research exists on the link between PIU and suicidal behavior in Spanish university students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between problematic internet use (PIU) and suicidal behavior.
  • To examine PIU as a risk factor for suicidal behavior in a Spanish university student population.

Main Methods:

  • Ex post facto prospective design.
  • 1,386 Spanish university students participated.
  • Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and CORE-OM were used to assess PIU and psychological problems.

Main Results:

  • A significant relationship was confirmed between PIU and suicidal behavior.
  • Social isolation and depression were strongly associated with PIU and suicidal behavior.
  • The risk of suicidal behavior was 3.78 times higher for women with PIU and 5.58 times higher for men with PIU.

Conclusions:

  • Problematic internet use (PIU) is a significant risk factor for suicidal behavior.
  • PIU, social isolation, subjective distress, and depression should be considered together in assessing suicide risk.
  • Intervention strategies should address PIU in university student mental health initiatives.
