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. 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...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

161
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

262
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

382
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Relative Risk01:12

Relative Risk

1.8K
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Digital Media Studies
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Social media challenges (SMC) are online activities that can lead to severe injuries and fatalities.
  • Peer-reviewed literature on risky SMC is limited despite frequent media coverage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of risky social media challenges (SMC) to map the existing research landscape.
  • To identify trends, common platforms, types of challenges, and reported outcomes associated with risky SMC.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed on MEDLINE and PsycInfo® from 2000 to 2024.
  • Articles focusing on risky SMC, defined as those with a likelihood of causing injury (excluding intentional self-harm), were included.
  • Descriptive statistics were used to summarize article characteristics and findings.

Main Results:

  • 54 articles met inclusion criteria, with a notable increase in publications since 2010.
  • YouTube and TikTok were the most discussed platforms, featuring challenges like the Cinnamon Challenge and Fire Challenge.
  • Injuries, including burns, poisoning, and strangulation, were reported in 89% of articles, with outcomes ranging from medical evaluation to death.

Conclusions:

  • Injuries associated with risky social media challenges (SMC) are increasingly reported in scientific literature.
  • There is a critical need for further research and the development of interventions to address the harmful effects of these online activities.
