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...

Long-term Depression

2.6K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

181
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...

Depressive Disorders: Etiology01:27

Depressive Disorders: Etiology

147
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.
Biological Factors in Depression
Biological predispositions significantly influence the risk of developing depressive disorders. Genetic studies highlight the role of variations in the serotonin transporter...

  • The review focuses on factors contributing to suicide attempts and mortality.

    • Main Results:

    • Elevated suicide risk is linked to prior suicide attempts, self-injurious behavior, and psychiatric disorders.
    • Gender and sexual minority status, family history, and trauma/loss history are significant risk factors.
    • Bullying, lack of social connectedness, and access to lethal means increase suicide risk.

    Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive screening and assessment are vital for identifying at-risk youth.
    • Effective crisis planning and intervention strategies can help mitigate suicide risk.
    • Addressing identified risk factors may help reverse the trend of increasing youth suicide rates.
