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...

Depressive Disorders: Etiology

58
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.
Biological Factors in Depression
Biological predispositions significantly influence the risk of developing depressive disorders. Genetic studies highlight the role of variations in the serotonin transporter...

Depression: Overview

227
Depression is a prevalent mental illness marked by persistent sadness and lack of interest in previously enjoyable activities. It can take several forms, including major depression, persistent depressive disorder, and bipolar I and II disorders. Symptoms range from emotional changes like chronic worry to physical changes like sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. From a neurobiological perspective, depression is believed to be triggered by abnormalities in the brain's prefrontal cortex,...

Stress and Mental Health

86
Chronic stress profoundly affects mental health, significantly influencing mood, behavior, and overall quality of life. Research closely links chronic stress with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Ongoing exposure to stress can lead to physiological and psychological changes, initiating a cycle of emotional distress and maladaptive coping mechanisms.
Individuals with depression often experience challenges in both their personal and professional...

Depressive Disorders: MDD and Dysthymia

69
Depressive disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterized by pervasive feelings of sadness, diminished pleasure in life, and a significant impact on daily functioning. These conditions are most prevalent in individuals during their 30s and affect women at twice the rate of men. Contrary to popular belief, younger individuals are generally more susceptible to these disorders than older adults. Two key types of depressive disorders include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and...

Long-term Depression01:03

Long-term Depression

2.5K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Adolescent Mental Health
  • Cyberpsychology

Background:

  • Cyber victimization is a growing concern among adolescents, strongly linked to increased depressive symptoms.
  • Understanding the underlying mechanisms is crucial for developing effective mental health interventions for young people.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mediational pathways between cyber victimization and depressive symptoms in adolescents.
  • To examine the roles of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral attributions in this association using the General Aggression Model.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative study involving 277 adolescents (mean age 15.84, 65.7% female).
  • Participants reported cyber victimization experiences, depressive symptoms, and attributions to a hypothetical cyber victimization scenario.
  • Path analysis within structural equation modeling was employed to test the proposed mediational model.

Main Results:

  • Cyber victimization was positively associated with depressive symptoms.
  • Characterological self-blame partially mediated this association.
  • Sadness emotions and passive avoidance behaviors did not significantly mediate the relationship.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive factors, specifically characterological self-blame, play a significant role in the link between cyber victimization and adolescent depression.
  • Cognitive re-framing education should be integrated into anti-cyberbullying initiatives to support adolescent mental health.
