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...

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;...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

25
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...

This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.1K
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...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development01:30

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

14
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Adolescent Behavior
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Classroom incivility, a form of low-level antisocial behavior, negatively impacts the learning environment.
  • Adolescent incivility is linked to bullying and predicts future aggression.
  • Understanding the developmental trajectory of classroom incivility is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the developmental growth patterns of classroom incivility in adolescents.
  • To identify specific age ranges where incivility is most prevalent.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study of Canadian students in grades 8-12 (N=559).
  • Data collected across four waves from Fall 2022 to Spring 2024.
  • Growth curve modeling used to analyze self-reported classroom incivility over ten timepoints.

Main Results:

  • A quadratic growth model best fit the data, indicating a non-linear trend.
  • Classroom incivility significantly increases in early adolescence.
  • Incivility levels taper off in later adolescent years (grades 11-12).

Conclusions:

  • The study provides novel insights into the developmental trajectory of adolescent classroom incivility.
  • Early adolescence emerges as a critical period for intervention.
  • Findings can inform school-based strategies to foster positive classroom behavior.
