Friendships and Close Friendships01:20

Friendships and Close Friendships

215
Friendship formation is a dynamic process shaped by psychological, cultural, and social factors. Friendships play a crucial role in emotional well-being, social development, and personal identity from childhood to adulthood.Childhood and Early FriendshipsFriendships in childhood often arise due to shared environments, such as school or neighborhood interactions. At this stage, proximity and common interests serve as the primary basis for connection. As children grow, their friendships evolve...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

479
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development

Atomic Mass01:52

Atomic Mass

69.7K
Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

Molar Mass

The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains but by the quantity of each type of atom or ion. For example, water, H2O, and hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, are alike in that their respective molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However, because a hydrogen peroxide molecule contains two oxygen atoms, as opposed to the water molecule, which has only one, the two substances exhibit very different properties.

The Role of Culture01:23

The Role of Culture

362
Culture plays a crucial role in shaping self-identity and influencing thought and behavior, a foundational interest within social psychology. The multicultural perspective recognizes that individuals do not exist in a vacuum; instead, their experiences, perceptions, and actions are deeply influenced by the intersecting dimensions of their cultural, ethnic, and social group affiliations.Cultural Influence on Self-Identity and Social PerceptionCultural frameworks inform how individuals define...

Role of Septins01:02

Role of Septins

2.1K
Septins are the recently discovered fourth major protein component of the cytoskeleton, along with microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. These proteins can associate with other cytoskeletal filaments and carry out varied roles or can be free-floating in the cytoplasm.
Cellular Functions of Septins
Recent studies have revealed the multifaceted roles of septins in various cellular processes such as cytokinesis, ciliogenesis, and neurogenesis. Septins act as scaffolds and...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Trauma Studies

Background:

  • Mass traumas are increasing globally.
  • Research on mass trauma's impact on children's peer relations is limited.
  • Children's lived experiences of trauma are under-explored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how mass trauma affects children's peer relations and friendships.
  • To understand the role of friendships in children's coping mechanisms after trauma.
  • To center children's voices in trauma research.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative, phenomenological approach.
  • Focus groups with 51 children and youth aged 10-17.
  • Exploration of lived experiences following a terror attack and war.

Main Results:

  • Trauma initially disrupted friendships but also strengthened them.
  • Children reported enhanced social bonds, expanded networks, and increased peer appreciation.
  • Friendships served as a vital coping resource, offering emotional support.

Conclusions:

  • Friendships are crucial for children's resilience after mass trauma.
  • Adults' emotional absence during trauma can be compensated by peer support.
  • Prioritizing children's perspectives is essential for understanding trauma's social impact.
