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...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

27
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

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,...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

99
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...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

50
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.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

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:

  • Social Psychology
  • Adolescent Health
  • Network Science

Background:

  • Adolescent physical intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue.
  • Research on the social network correlates of adolescent IPV is limited, especially in low and middle-income countries.
  • Understanding peer influences and social network structures is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze individual and social network correlates of adolescent physical IPV perpetration and victimization.
  • To investigate the influence of peers' IPV engagement and victimization on adolescents' own IPV behaviors.
  • To examine social network patterns related to IPV status among adolescents in rural Colombia.

Main Methods:

  • Socio-centric network data collected from 242 high-school students in rural Colombia.
  • Logistic regression used to assess relationships between individual IPV and peer IPV engagement, victimization, and network position.
  • Social network statistical methods employed to detect preferential attachment based on IPV status.

Main Results:

  • A higher proportion of friends perpetrating physical IPV was associated with increased adolescent IPV perpetration.
  • A higher proportion of friends experiencing IPV victimization was linked to decreased adolescent victimization.
  • Victimization, more common in boys, correlated with perpetration for both genders.
  • Contrary to social network literature, no preferential friendships were found based on IPV perpetration or victimization.

Conclusions:

  • Peer perpetration of physical IPV is a significant risk factor for adolescent perpetration.
  • Adolescents do not appear to form friendships based on shared IPV experiences.
  • Findings highlight the importance of peer influence while challenging network theories in the context of adolescent IPV.
