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. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

58
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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.2K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Cyber dating violence in adolescents is often categorized into direct aggression and controlling behaviors.
  • Adolescents readily identify direct aggression but frequently normalize controlling behaviors, such as constant location tracking or password sharing.
  • This normalization highlights a significant gap in understanding the full spectrum of cyber dating violence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore adolescent perceptions of cyber dating violence.
  • To identify the differential characteristics of cyber-violent relationships among adolescents.
  • To analyze adolescent understanding of controlling behaviors within dating contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from 466 secondary school students.
  • Analysis of responses using the Iramuteq software program for text analysis.
  • Identification of common terms and themes related to perceived cyber dating violence.

Main Results:

  • Key themes included violent behaviors, online media, toxic relationships, and victim coercion.
  • A significant lack of recognition of controlling behaviors as cyber dating violence was observed.
  • Adolescents frequently normalized behaviors like constant monitoring and forced password sharing.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescents exhibit a limited understanding of cyber dating violence, particularly concerning controlling behaviors.
  • There is a critical need for educational and preventive measures to address the normalization of controlling behaviors.
  • Early education on healthy relationships, communication, privacy, and recognizing excessive control is recommended to mitigate cyber dating violence.
