Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

95
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

581
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

152
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

67
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...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Psychology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Internet gaming disorder (IGD), compulsive sexual behavior (CSB), and problematic social network usage (PSNU) are increasing among adolescents.
  • Adolescent diagnoses for these behavioral disorders are on the rise globally.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify unique profiles of risk and protective factors in adolescents.
  • To determine if these profiles correlate with the varying severities of IGD, CSB, and PSNU.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 544 Jewish Israeli adolescents (ages 14-18) on risk factors (adversity, trauma, mental health issues, stigma) and protective factors (parent-adolescent communication).
  • Assessed addictive behaviors including IGD, CSB, and PSNU.

Main Results:

  • Three adolescent clusters emerged: 'at risk' (8.82%), 'moderate' (73.53%), and 'resilient' (17.65%).
  • The 'at risk' group showed significantly higher severity of addictive behaviors compared to the 'moderate' and 'resilient' groups.
  • The 'moderate' group exhibited greater addictive behavior severity than the 'resilient' group.

Conclusions:

  • Profiles of risk and protective factors strongly predict adolescent addictive behaviors.
  • This study advocates for a more individualized approach to understanding and addressing adolescent addictive behaviors.
