This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project used inferential statistics to assess correlates of physical aggression and relation aggression in 103 children enrolled in early childhood programs in Alachua County Florida. The Expressive Vocabulary Test was used to assess expressive language abilities; the Preschool Social Behavior Scale- Teacher Form was used to assess levels of physical and relational aggression; and the Early Childhood Social Cognitions Interview and Relational Aggression Perspective Taking Questions were used to measure each participating child's level of perspective taking skills. Anticipated benefits of this project include (a) furthering knowledge of relational aggression correlates and possible predictors, (b) differentiating predictors and correlates of relational aggression from predictors and correlates of physical aggression, and (c) utilizing information regarding the correlates of relational aggression to make recommendations concerning the development of relational aggression intervention and prevention programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research over the last few decades has revealed that individuals use a variety of mechanisms to hurt one another, many of which are not physical in nature. In this volume, editors Sarah M. Coyne and Jamie M. Ostrov turn their focus on relational aggression, behavior that is intended to cause harm to another individual's relationships or social standing in the group (e.g., gossiping, social exclusion, and spreading malicious rumors). Unlike physical aggression, the scars of relational aggression are more difficult to detect. However, victims (and their aggressors) may experience strong and long-lasting consequences, including reduced self-esteem, loneliness, depression, anxiety, and more. Over the past 25 years, there has been a growing body of literature on relational aggression and other non-physical forms of aggression that have focused predominantly on gender differences, development, and risk and protective factors. In this volume, the focus turns to the development of relational aggression during childhood, adolescence, and emerging adulthood. Here, Coyne, Ostrov, and their contributing authors examine a number of risk factors and socializing agents or models (e.g., parenting, peers, media, the classroom) that lead to the development of relational aggression over time. An understanding of how these behaviors develop will inform readers of important intervention strategies to curb the use of relational aggression in schools, peer groups, and in family relationships. The Development of Relational Aggression provides scholars, researchers, practitioners, students, and parents with an extensive resource that will help move the field forward in our understanding of the development of relational aggression for the future.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Relational aggression is a pivotal concept associated with the trend toward increasing attention toward aggression in girls. Specifically, acts of relationship manipulation are hypothesized to be especially salient for girls, who are expected to covet social acceptance and inclusion more than boys. Past studies have supported a distinction between relational and physical forms of aggression and identified unique correlates of relational aggression. However, characteristics of relational aggression have been largely examined in isolation, thereby providing only indirect information about the nomological network of relational aggression. The present study adopted a construct validation approach to replicating and expanding upon existing research. Two hundred twenty-four children, aged 11 to 14, completed measures of relational, reactive, and proactive aggression as well as various other behaviors. One parent and one teacher per child completed parallel measures. At the manifest variable level, hierarchical regression analyses, which were conducted separately for child, parent, and teacher reports, varied across informants. Overall, these analyses suggested that relational aggression is both uniquely reactive and uniquely proactive in nature. Consistent with previous research, relational aggression was associated with such harmful correlates as social and internalizing problems. In many cases, such associations were mediated by either reactive or proactive aggression. Moreover, although there were generally no gender differences in mean levels of relational aggression, there was some suggestion that the implications of relational aggression may differ for boys and girls. At the latent variable level, a multitrait-multimethod approach was used to model associations between relevant constructs. Overall, these analyses provided consistent support for the convergent validity of all relevant constructs. However, there was less evidence for the discriminant validity of relational, reactive, and proactive aggression, suggesting that the distinguishing features of these hypothesized aggression subtypes may become obscured when combining multiple informants' perspectives. Method effects were identified for parent and child reports. Differences between results at the manifest and latent variable levels highlighted potential limitations of combining multiple reports. As direct tests of fundamental assumptions of a multi-informant approach were unavailable, it is suggested that the unique manifest variable results may offer more promising directions for future research.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Adolescence written by Roger J.R. Levesque and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-05 with total page 3161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Adolescence breaks new ground as an important central resource for the study of adolescence. Comprehensive in breath and textbook in depth, the Encyclopedia of Adolescence – with entries presented in easy-to-access A to Z format – serves as a reference repository of knowledge in the field as well as a frequently updated conduit of new knowledge long before such information trickles down from research to standard textbooks. By making full use of Springer’s print and online flexibility, the Encyclopedia is at the forefront of efforts to advance the field by pushing and creating new boundaries and areas of study that further our understanding of adolescents and their place in society. Substantively, the Encyclopedia draws from four major areas of research relating to adolescence. The first broad area includes research relating to "Self, Identity and Development in Adolescence". This area covers research relating to identity, from early adolescence through emerging adulthood; basic aspects of development (e.g., biological, cognitive, social); and foundational developmental theories. In addition, this area focuses on various types of identity: gender, sexual, civic, moral, political, racial, spiritual, religious, and so forth. The second broad area centers on "Adolescents’ Social and Personal Relationships". This area of research examines the nature and influence of a variety of important relationships, including family, peer, friends, sexual and romantic as well as significant nonparental adults. The third area examines "Adolescents in Social Institutions". This area of research centers on the influence and nature of important institutions that serve as the socializing contexts for adolescents. These major institutions include schools, religious groups, justice systems, medical fields, cultural contexts, media, legal systems, economic structures, and youth organizations. "Adolescent Mental Health" constitutes the last major area of research. This broad area of research focuses on the wide variety of human thoughts, actions, and behaviors relating to mental health, from psychopathology to thriving. Major topic examples include deviance, violence, crime, pathology (DSM), normalcy, risk, victimization, disabilities, flow, and positive youth development.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Parental Beliefs and Intervention Strategies Toward Relational Aggression and Reported Child Use of Relational Aggression written by Jamison P. Harnish and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relational aggression is a known form of aggressive behavior in which the relationship is used as the tool to inflict harm. Previous research indicates that relational aggression is predictive of maladjustment in children, is present in early childhood, and is linked to parental attitudes and practice. Using questionnaires, this study examined the relationship among parent beliefs and reported intervention strategies for relational aggression and teacher and parent reported levels of relational aggression in children. Findings indicated that parents and teachers rated preschool-aged (2-5 years) boys as more physically aggressive than preschool-aged girls, and rated older preschool-age children as more relationally aggressive than younger children. Parents rated their children lower in relational and physical aggression than their teachers did. In addition, there was a significant correlation between parental beliefs about relational aggression and how they rated their child's level of aggression. Parents who viewed relational aggression as a typical/normal behavior also rated their child lower in prosocial skills and higher in relational and physical aggression than parents who viewed relational aggression as abnormal. Suggestions for future research are discussed.

Download or read book Tasman s Psychiatry written by Allan Tasman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-09-30 with total page 5496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored by over 500 internationally acclaimed expert editors and chapter authors from around the world. Completely updated and expanded with almost 40 new chapters. Significantly increased attention to the role of culture in all aspects of evaluation and care. New sections on Digital Mental Health Services and Technologies, Treatment Issues in Specific Populations and Settings, and on Prevention, Systems of Care, and Psychosocial Aspects of Treatment address key advances. This edition is the first comprehensive reference work to cover the entire field of psychiatry in an updateable format, ensuring access to state of the art information. Earlier editions were called “the best current textbook of psychiatry” by the New England Journal of Medicine, and “the gold standard” by the American Journal of Psychiatry. Tasman’s Psychiatry, 5th Edition, builds on the initial vision in prior editions of approaching psychiatric evaluation and care from an integrative bio-psycho-social-cultural perspective. It is designed to be an essential and accessible reference for readers at any level of experience. This editorial approach encompasses the importance of the first encounter between patient and clinician, followed by the complex task of beginning to develop a therapeutic relationship and to develop and implement a treatment plan in collaboration with the patient. The importance of increasing attention to the role of culture and social determinants of mental health is reflected both in specific chapters and in components of many chapters throughout the book, especially in those pertaining to clinical evaluation, the therapeutic alliance, and treatment. The global scope of this edition is reflected throughout the book, including the section on psychiatric disorders where evaluation using both ICD 11 and DSM 5-TR is discussed. Most chapters are authored by experts from at least two different countries or continents, adding a critically important dimension which often is missing in major psychiatric textbooks. Tasman’s Psychiatry, 5th Edition, is an essential reference for all medical professionals and students who need a trusted reference or learning tool for psychiatry, psychology, clinical research, social work, counseling, therapy, and all others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overarching aim of this study was to answer the question of why boys and girls might engage in different forms of aggression and victimization. To this end, there were four major goals: (a) to determine the most parsimonious system of conceptualising forms of aggression and victimization to examine; (b) sex differences in relational and physical aggression and victimization; (c) family and individual factors related to dominance and aggression/victimization; and (d) the association between aggression and victimization. Individual factors were within four domains: peer dominance status, self-discrepancy, self-efficacy, and social importance. Participants were 367 5 th and 6 th grade, English-speaking boys and girls in suburban Montreal, Quebec. Peer-ratings of aggression and victimization as well as dominance were obtained, and participants rated their parents on dimensions of involvement and supervision. Self-ratings were obtained for actual, ideal, and ought selves regarding dominance-related characteristics; self-efficacy for aggression, conflict, and non-conflict situations, as well as outcome expectancies for aggression; and social importance for male and female dominance-related characteristics. Results showed that, using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, two separate factors (physical and relational) emerged for aggression and victimization. Boys were rated as using more physical, and girls more relational aggression (after controlling for physical aggression). Boys received higher ratings on physical victimization (when they were also aggressive). The major findings related to the remaining goals were that the association between parenting and dominance differed for boys and girls; dominance was negatively predictive of physical, and positively predictive of relational aggression for girls; dominance was negatively predictive of victimization; actual-ideal discrepancy for male dominance-related characteristics was predictive of physical victimization for boys; self-efficacy for conflict situations was negatively related to relational and positively related to physical aggression for girls; social importance for female dominance-related characteristics was negatively predictive of physical and positively predictive of relational aggression, and; victimization was more strongly related to aggression for girls. The results of this study may help to clarify the confusion about how to conceptualise different forms of aggression. In addition, it adds to the literature on sex differences in types of aggression by attempting to empirically test the reasons for girls' and boys' use of different aggressive strategies and elucidating some of the factors that are differentially predictive of aggression and victimization for boys and girls.

Download or read book Multi level Correlates of Childhood Physical Aggression and Prosocial Behavior written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study identified independent individual, family, and neighborhood correlates of children's physical aggression and prosocial behavior. Participants were 2,745 2-11-year olds nested in 1,982 families, which were themselves nested in 96 Canadian neighborhoods. Hierarchical linear modeling showed that the total variation explained by the three-level model was 28.03% for physical aggression and 17.57% for prosocial behavior. For both childhood behaviors, approximately 66% of this explained variance was between individuals and up to 30% was between families. The smallest amount of observed variation was between neighborhoods. Significant individual-level predictors common to both childhood behaviors were child's sex and maternal hostility toward the target child. Specifically, boys had more mother-reported physical aggression and less prosocial behavior. Children who experienced greater-than-average maternal hostility (compared to siblings) were more physically aggressive and less prosocial. At the family level, significant common predictors were mother's depressed mood and punitive parenting. Children had higher levels of physical aggression and lower levels of prosocial behavior in families where mothers had greater depressed mood and used more punitive parenting practices. At the neighborhood level, greater perceived problems and lower poverty level were associated with higher levels of physical aggression. Results are discussed with reference to past and future studies of multilevel effects on children's socialization.
