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...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

372
Affiliation motivation is the intrinsic desire to connect with others and belong to a social group, which plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining personal relationships.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

39.1K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.7K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

139
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...

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Sociology of Education

Background:

  • Peer victimization poses significant risks to youth development.
  • Relational peer victimization, a specific form of bullying, warrants focused investigation.
  • Understanding its impact on academic engagement is crucial for educational interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the longitudinal relationship between relational peer victimization and academic engagement.

  • To explore the convergence of multiple informant reports on victimization.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study design.
  • Multiple informants: students, parents, and teachers.
  • Quantitative analysis of self-reported and parent-reported relational peer victimization and teacher-reported academic engagement.

Main Results:

  • Student and parent reports of relational peer victimization showed convergence.
  • Experiencing relational peer victimization in the fall negatively predicted academic engagement in the spring.
  • This effect was observed in teacher-reported academic engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Relational peer victimization is a significant factor negatively affecting students' academic engagement.
