Bullying

8.4K
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...

This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

156
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...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

43
A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

58
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...

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Adolescent bullying is a complex issue that is challenging to prevent.
  • Understanding predictive factors is crucial for minimizing bullying behaviors.
  • Classroom incivility, a low-level antisocial behavior, is a potential predictor of adolescent bullying.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the longitudinal link between classroom incivility and bullying in adolescents.
  • To investigate the predictive relationship between uncivil classroom behavior and the development of bullying.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative surveys were administered at two time points, three years apart (2019 and 2022).
  • The study included 349 adolescents aged 9–14 years in southern Ontario, Canada.
  • Cross-lagged analyses were used to assess the stability of classroom incivility and its longitudinal association with bullying.

Main Results:

  • Classroom incivility at the first time point significantly predicted bullying behavior at the second time point.
  • Bullying behavior at the first time point did not predict classroom incivility at the second time point.
  • Results support the stability of classroom incivility and its role as a precursor to bullying.

Conclusions:

  • Classroom incivility negatively impacts the learning environment.
  • Uncivil behavior may contribute to the development of bullying in adolescence.
  • Limiting uncivil behavior is important to prevent escalation into more severe conduct.
