Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

14
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.

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

19
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Behaviorism

2.1K
The field of behaviorism was pioneered by figures such as Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner fundamentally shifted the focus of psychology to the observable and controllable aspects of human and animal behavior. This shift marked a critical evolution in the discipline, emphasizing scientific rigor and experimental methodology.
The core premise of behaviorism is its focus on observable behavior rather than internal thoughts or feelings. This approach argues that true scientific...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

89.6K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Anal01:26

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Anal

384
Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development describes the anal stage as occurring between 18 months and three years of age. During this period, children derive pleasure from controlling and releasing their bowel movements. However, they quickly learn that societal expectations impose restrictions on when and where this can happen. This stage marks a critical point where children begin to develop a sense of control and mastery over their bodily functions, as well as their broader...

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

21
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Area of Science:

  • Animal Behavior
  • Veterinary Science
  • Canine Studies

Background:

  • Undesirable dog behaviors negatively impact canine welfare and the human-animal bond.
  • These behaviors can lead to dog relinquishment or euthanasia, a significant welfare concern.
  • Early identification and intervention are crucial for addressing behavioral issues in young dogs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To longitudinally track owner-perceived undesirable dog behaviors from 6 to 18 months of age.
  • To determine the prevalence of specific common behaviors like barking, jumping, pulling, and recall issues.
  • To analyze changes in the frequency of these behaviors across different developmental stages.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study design with owner-reported data collection at 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months.
  • Utilized free-text responses in self-administered surveys for behavior reporting.
  • Employed binomial mixed-effects models to analyze prevalence differences across timepoints.

Main Results:

  • The highest prevalence of undesirable behaviors was observed at 12 months (42.1%).
  • Barking, jumping up, pulling on the lead, and recall issues were consistently reported.
  • Significant changes in prevalence were found for barking, pulling, and recall issues, but not for jumping.

Conclusions:

  • A substantial proportion of young dogs exhibit behaviors owners find undesirable.
  • Owner education on common puppy behaviors and training resources is essential.
  • Proactive behavioral support can mitigate risks of relinquishment due to behavioral problems.
