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...

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Aggression

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...

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.6K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Dating violence, encompassing both online and offline forms, is a significant issue among adolescents and young adults.
  • The rise of digital communication has introduced new avenues for harassment, control, and abuse within romantic relationships.
  • Understanding the prevalence and characteristics of both online and offline dating violence is crucial for developing effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence rates of online and offline dating violence by sex and age.
  • To investigate the co-occurrence and correlation between online and offline dating violence.
  • To examine the psychological profiles (self-esteem, hostility, general psychological state, emotional intelligence) of victims and perpetrators of both online and offline dating violence.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 341 university students from the Basque Country, Spain.
  • Utilized six validated instruments to assess dating violence, self-esteem, hostility, psychological state, and emotional intelligence.
  • Statistical analyses were performed to examine prevalence, co-occurrence, and psychological correlates.

Main Results:

  • High prevalence of both online and offline dating violence was observed, with significant co-occurrence.
  • No significant gender or sex differences were found in perpetration or victimization rates.
  • Victims of both online and offline dating violence reported higher hostility and psychological symptomatology.
  • Perpetrators of online and offline dating violence shared some psychological characteristics but differed in others, including emotional intelligence.

Conclusions:

  • A continuum exists between online and offline dating violence victimization and perpetration.
  • Despite the continuum, distinct differences in self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and overall functioning are associated with online versus offline modalities.
  • Findings underscore the need for comprehensive strategies addressing the multifaceted nature of dating violence.
