Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.9K
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.

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. 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...

Horney's Sociocultural Approach

606
Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories emphasize the potential for self-realization and the importance of addressing social and cultural, rather than biological, factors in personality development. She challenged traditional Freudian views, particularly Freud's concept of "penis envy," which she argued stemmed from cultural influences rather than inherent biological differences. Horney believed that any sense of inferiority in women was a result of societal conditioning, such as...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

77
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Cross-Sectional Research

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...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.4K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Internet Studies
  • Cross-cultural Research

Background:

  • Problematic Internet Use (PIU) is a growing concern globally.
  • Understanding its prevalence and risk factors across diverse populations is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare adult online activity patterns, PIU frequency, and associated risk factors across 15 countries.
  • To investigate psychopathological correlates like distress and impulsivity in PIU.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey was administered to 5130 adults across Europe, North America, and Asia.
  • Participants completed measures for PIU, depression, anxiety, stress, and impulsivity.

Main Results:

  • PIU rates were generally lower in European countries compared to North American and Asian countries.
  • Problematic gaming and social networking, lack of perseverance, positive urgency, and depression significantly predicted PIU.
  • Specific PIU rates varied, with problematic gaming highest in Indonesia.

Conclusions:

  • Significant differences in PIU exist between continental regions, with higher rates outside Europe.
  • Despite variations, overall PIU risks were relatively low compared to existing literature.
  • Intra-European differences in PIU were also observed.
