Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

59
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.

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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. 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...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

38
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Parenting Styles01:27

Parenting Styles

67
Diana Baumrind's four parenting styles — authoritarian, authoritative, neglectful, and permissive — each influence children's socio-emotional development differently.
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
Authoritative...

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Development
  • Family Studies
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Limited systematic data exists on familial factors influencing adolescent internet use.
  • Current research often uses small, non-diverse samples, lacking key familial and offspring characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate parental perceptions and concerns regarding adolescent internet use.
  • To explore the impact of internet use on adolescent development, well-being, safety, and family connectedness.
  • To identify factors associated with problematic internet use in adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • An online survey was administered to 1005 parents of children aged 9-15 years.
  • Validated questionnaires assessed family characteristics, internet addiction, and family connectedness.
  • Data were collected between June 17 and July 5, 2022, with post hoc weightings for representation.

Main Results:

  • Parents reported concerns about exposure to harmful content (64.3%) and online bullying (53.0%).
  • Internet use was perceived to enhance family connectedness (immediate: 46.6%, extended: 56.5%).
  • Adolescent internet addiction scores correlated with parental scores and inconsistent discipline.

Conclusions:

  • Parents recognize both benefits (family connection) and risks (harmful content, addiction) of adolescent internet use.
  • Problematic internet use in youth is linked to parenting styles and parental internet habits.
  • Collaboration among families, communities, and industry is suggested to mitigate negative internet effects.
