Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

32.0K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Bullying02:04

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...

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Naturalistic Observations

15.4K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

36
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

27.8K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Area of Science:

  • Sports Psychology
  • Child Development
  • Sociology of Sport

Background:

  • Youth sports environments can foster negative adult behaviors.
  • Exposure to non-familial adults at events presents risks.
  • Parental conduct significantly influences child experiences in sports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify negative parent and spectator behaviors at youth sporting events.
  • To compare the frequency of these behaviors across different sports (baseball, basketball, soccer, football).
  • To analyze incidences across different age ranges (6-10 years).

Main Methods:

  • Observational study at youth sporting events in Central O'ahu, Hawai'i.
  • Data collection on spectator behaviors: alcohol use, smoking, swearing, negative language.
  • Focus on events involving children aged 6 to 10 years.

Main Results:

  • Negative behaviors were observed at a majority (68%) of youth sporting events.
  • No statistically significant differences in negative behaviors were found between the four sports studied.
  • Confidence intervals for observed negative behaviors overlapped, indicating similar frequencies across sports.

Conclusions:

  • Negative parent and spectator conduct is prevalent in youth sports.
  • The study did not find significant differences between baseball, basketball, soccer, and football.
  • Younger player age, small sample size, and event timing may explain the lack of statistically significant sport-based differences.
