Bullying

8.8K
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.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them.

Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

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...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Peer victimization is theorized to correlate with adolescent problematic Internet use.
  • Existing empirical evidence presents inconsistent findings regarding this association.
  • A comprehensive understanding requires synthesizing current research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To meta-analytically examine the overall association between peer victimization and problematic Internet use in adolescents.
  • To identify and explore potential moderators influencing this relationship.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic search of seven academic databases was conducted.
  • Data from 55 studies (N=249,892 adolescents) were synthesized using three-level meta-analytic models.
  • Publication bias was assessed and did not affect the results.

Main Results:

  • A significant positive correlation (r=.237) was found between peer victimization and problematic Internet use.
  • Publication year, data type, and measurement tools for both variables were significant moderators.
  • Culture showed a marginal moderating effect; sex, age, and publication status did not.
  • No significant moderation was found for the type of problematic Internet use.

Conclusions:

  • Peer victimization is a small but significant risk factor for adolescent problematic Internet use.
  • Interventions should consider the impact of peer victimization experiences.
  • Understanding moderating factors is crucial for targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
