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...

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.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

75
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...

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development01:30

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

25
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...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

47
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....

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent psychology
  • Digital well-being
  • Public health interventions

Background:

  • Problematic social media use (PSMU) is prevalent among adolescents, impacting mental health.
  • Existing research lacks longitudinal data and qualitative insights into PSMU risk factors.
  • There's a need for co-designed self-help interventions for adolescent PSMU.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Advance knowledge on PSMU and its risk/protective factors.
  • Co-design an unguided self-help app for functional social media use.
  • Assess the app's feasibility and preliminary effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study of ~1500 adolescents (14-18 years) in Italy.
  • Qualitative focus groups to gather adolescent perspectives on PSMU.
  • Co-design and pilot testing of a self-help app with adolescents.

Main Results:

  • The SMART project is funded and has ethical approval.
  • Enrollment began in December 2023, with data collection until May 2025.
  • The project utilizes longitudinal and qualitative methods, including Ecological Momentary Assessment.

Conclusions:

  • The SMART project will enhance understanding of adolescent PSMU and its antecedents.
  • A co-designed self-help app aims to address psychological distress linked to PSMU.
  • Findings will have scientific, technological, and socioeconomic impacts, addressing post-pandemic challenges.
