Aggression01:47

Aggression

27.7K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

265
Affiliation motivation is the intrinsic desire to connect with others and belong to a social group, which plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining personal relationships. This type of motivation is essential for psychological well-being, as it provides individuals with a sense of community and support. An example of this is a student who joins a study group in order to feel a sense of connection. People with high affiliation motivation actively seek social approval, take satisfaction in...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

13.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Law of Effect01:06

Law of Effect

1.3K
B.F. Skinner, a prominent figure in behavioral psychology, introduced operant conditioning by emphasizing the role of consequences in shaping behavior. This theory builds upon the law of effect proposed by Edward Thorndike, which posits that behaviors followed by satisfying outcomes are likely to be repeated. In contrast, those followed by unsatisfying outcomes are less likely to recur.
Edward Thorndike's foundational work involved studying learning in animals, particularly using puzzle...

Behavior Modification01:21

Behavior Modification

121
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.
A real-world application of operant conditioning principles is applied...

Bullying02:04

Bullying

8.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Machine Learning

Background:

  • Assessing neural system integrity in functional processes is challenging.
  • Developing reliable methods to evaluate neural function in adolescents is critical for understanding behavioral development and psychopathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a machine learning classifier for identifying retaliation neural patterns in typically developing adolescents.
  • To test the generalizability of this classifier on clinically concerning youth.
  • To investigate the association between classifier-determined neural integrity for retaliation and antisocial behavior, proactive, and reactive aggression.

Main Methods:

  • Collected blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) response data from 82 typically developing and 120 clinically concerning adolescents during a retaliation task.
  • Developed a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm using data from typically developing adolescents.
  • Tested the SVM classifier's performance on the clinically concerning adolescent sample.

Main Results:

  • The SVM classifier achieved high accuracy (92.48%), sensitivity (89.47%), and specificity (93.18%) in distinguishing retaliation phases in typically developing adolescents.
  • The classifier demonstrated comparable success in distinguishing neural function in the clinically concerning adolescent group.
  • Greater distance from the classifier's hyperplane for retaliation was associated with reduced conduct problems and proactive aggression.

Conclusions:

  • This study introduces a preliminary "retaliation endophenotype" using machine learning.
  • The functional integrity of this endophenotype is significantly associated with conduct problems and proactive aggression in adolescents.
  • These findings highlight the potential of machine learning in understanding neural mechanisms underlying behavioral issues.
