Milgram's Obedience to Authority02:20

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

6.0K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Bullying

7.9K
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...

Signs of Puberty

2.1K
Puberty is a critical phase, typically beginning between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 9 and 14 in boys, though timing can vary based on genetics, environmental factors, and overall health. This period is characterized by the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the attainment of reproductive potential. Endocrine changes underpin puberty, with hormonal surges of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) instigated by Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)...

Psychosexual Theory of Development

3.7K
Sigmund Freud's psychosexual theory of development suggests that early childhood experiences significantly shape personality and behavior. Freud proposed that development is discontinuous, occurring in five distinct stages, each defined by a focus on different erogenous zones. He believed that failure to resolve the conflicts specific to each stage successfully could result in fixation, potentially influencing behavior as adults.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

2.2K
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Adolescent Psychology
  • Cybersecurity

Background:

  • Coercive requests for sexual images are a prevalent yet understudied aspect of adolescent digital interactions.
  • Such requests, when coercive, constitute sexual harassment, distinct from consensual image sharing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate adolescent experiences with coercive sexual image requests before age 18.
  • To identify characteristics of incidents and individuals associated with sharing images under coercion.

Main Methods:

  • A US-based survey study (June 2023-April 2024) of 6204 young adults (aged 18-28).
  • Oversampling for individuals with histories of image-based sexual abuse to analyze incident dynamics.
  • Statistical weighting was used for population generalizability.

Main Results:

  • 2853 respondents reported 4205 incidents of image-based sexual abuse, including 2003 coercive requests before age 18.
  • Adolescents shared images in 55.6% of coercive request incidents.
  • Sharing was less likely when perpetrators were met online and more likely for longer incidents; sharing was linked to worse mental health and less disclosure.

Conclusions:

  • Providing sexual images in response to coercive requests during adolescence results in significant negative outcomes.
  • Adolescents require enhanced skills to navigate image requests and information on the detrimental effects of coercive sexual image demands.
