Bullying

8.2K
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...

Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Psychology as a Science

Psychology, as a scientific discipline, aims to understand the mind and behavior through rigorous and systematic methods. The foundation of psychological research is evidence-based, relying heavily on the scientific method to derive and validate knowledge. This structured approach ensures that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to broader contexts.
The scientific method in psychology involves six critical steps: making observations, formulating hypotheses, conducting tests, analyzing...

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...

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.4K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Area of Science:

  • Cyberpsychology
  • Criminology
  • Digital Forensics

Background:

  • Cyberstalking is prevalent and harmful to victims and society.
  • Existing research highlights the negative impacts of cyberstalking.
  • A comprehensive understanding of cyberstalking perpetration is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review literature on cyberstalking perpetration.
  • To identify characteristics of cyberstalking perpetrators.
  • To categorize common cyberstalking methods.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of SCOPUS and Web of Science databases.
  • Screening of empirical research and literature reviews on cyberstalking.
  • Inclusion of 80 highly relevant articles.

Main Results:

  • Perpetrators exhibit low self-control, poor social skills, prior abuse victimization, and high internet usage.
  • Motivations include relationship reconciliation, revenge, seeking relationships, and control.
  • Common methods involve repeated online contact (email, social media, text), account access, GPS tracking, and impersonation.

Conclusions:

  • Identified precursors and patterns of cyberstalking perpetration.
  • Need for research applying offline stalking typologies to cyberstalking.
  • Development of effective case management strategies for cyberstalking is essential.
