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...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Longitudinal Research

11.8K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective

91
In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology provides one explanation for these findings, suggesting...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychology
  • Criminology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Recidivism in sexual offenders presents a public health and safety challenge.
  • Assessing predictive validity of risk factors for online child exploitation is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Examine recidivism rates and risk factors in individuals involved in online child sexual exploitation.
  • Analyze data from 228 adult males with sexual and nonsexual index offenses.

Main Methods:

  • Statistical analysis of recidivism data.
  • Evaluation of predictive validity for various risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Offense-supportive cognitions (C = .73-.75) and emotional congruence with children (C = .77) predict contact sexual recidivism.
  • Consumption of child sexual exploitation material and bestiality pornography correlate with online sexual recidivism (C = .69, .75).
  • These specific pornography types showed negative relationships with general sexual recidivism (C = .29, .32).

Conclusions:

  • Nuanced understanding of recidivism patterns in online sexual offenders against children.
  • Highlights the need for tailored intervention strategies for this population.
