Bullying

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. 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...

Social Scripts

People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.
Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a...

Problem-Solving

Problem-Solving

Effective problem-solving consists of two steps: 1. identifying the problem and 2. selecting the appropriate problem-solving strategy (i.e., a plan of action used to find a solution). Humans use four problem-solving strategies:

Psychology
Education Technology
Adolescent Health

Background:

Problematic internet gaming is linked to negative psychological outcomes in adolescents, including low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety.
Existing interventions may not fully address the underlying psychological factors contributing to excessive gaming.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the comparative effectiveness of game coding education versus game literacy education in mitigating problematic internet gaming among adolescents.
To explore the role of self-esteem improvement as a mediator in reducing problematic gaming behaviors.

Main Methods:

A study involving 126 adolescents participating in a "Visiting Game Class" project, comparing game coding and game literacy education programs.
Data collection included demographics, gaming patterns, psychological status (depression, anxiety, game perceptions), and Young's Internet Addiction Scale scores to identify problematic gamers.

Main Results:

Game coding education demonstrated significant effectiveness in reducing overall internet use, decreasing depressive symptoms, and enhancing self-esteem.
Hierarchical logistic regression indicated that increased education time, participation in coding education, negative gaming perceptions, and high self-esteem were predictors of reduced problematic internet gaming.

Conclusions:

Game coding education serves as an effective intervention for problematic internet gaming by improving adolescent self-esteem.
Recommendations include increasing game education duration and developing tailored programs that consider adolescents' psychological profiles.
