Bullying

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...

Schemas

11.6K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

82
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Developmental Science

Background:

  • Problematic mobile phone use is prevalent among adolescents, necessitating research into protective factors.
  • Existing meta-analyses often exclude younger populations, leaving a gap in understanding social support's role in this demographic.
  • Clarifying the relationship between social support and problematic mobile phone use is crucial for intervention development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a three-level meta-analysis on the association between social support and problematic mobile phone use in children and adolescents.
  • To examine potential moderators, including age, measurement tools, support sources, and specific symptoms, that influence this relationship.
  • To synthesize existing research and provide evidence-based recommendations for mitigating problematic mobile phone use.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search identified 33 studies with 135 effect sizes.
  • Included 25,537 students aged 7-19 (grades 3-12).
  • Performed a three-level meta-analysis to assess the overall correlation and moderating effects.

Main Results:

  • A significant negative correlation (r = -0.139) was found between social support and problematic mobile phone use.
  • Age, social support measurement, source of support, and specific symptoms moderated the relationship.
  • Older adolescents showed a stronger negative association; family support and the symptom of craving control were particularly influential.

Conclusions:

  • Enhancing social support, particularly familial support, may be an effective strategy to reduce problematic mobile phone use in children and adolescents.
  • Interventions should consider age-specific needs and focus on strengthening family bonds.
  • Further research into the nuances of social support and mobile phone use patterns is warranted.
