Cognitive Development During Adolescence

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

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...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

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...

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Area of Science:

Psychology
Public Health
Sociology

Background:

Adolescent problem gambling is a growing global concern.
Research is needed to understand the developmental pathways and contributing factors.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the factors predicting problem gambling among adolescents.
To explore the mediating roles of sensation-seeking and irrational gambling beliefs.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional study design.
Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis.
Data from 1,474 adolescents (aged 13-18 years) from the Korea Problem Gambling Agency.

Main Results:

Gambling accessibility and media exposure positively correlated with sensation-seeking tendencies.
Sensation-seeking was linked to stronger irrational gambling beliefs.
Ecological factors (accessibility, media) reinforced irrational beliefs, mediating adolescent problem gambling.
Impulsivity, though increased by media exposure, was not a significant mediator.

Conclusions:

A comprehensive approach integrating ecological and individual factors is crucial for understanding adolescent problem gambling.
Effective reduction strategies require collaboration among researchers, policymakers, educators, parents, and adolescents.
