Download or read book No More Mean Girls written by Katie Hurley and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Queen Bees and Wannabes for the elementary and middle school set, child and adolescent psychotherapist Katie Hurley shows parents of young girls how to nip mean girl behavior in the bud. Once upon a time, mean girls primarily existed in high school, while elementary school-aged girls spent hours at play and enjoyed friendships without much drama. But in this fast-paced world in which young girls are exposed to negative behaviors on TV and social media from the moment they enter school, they are also becoming caught up in social hierarchies much earlier. No More Mean Girls is a guide for parents to help their young daughters navigate tricky territories such as friendship building, creating an authentic self, standing up for themselves and others, and expressing themselves in a healthy way. The need to be liked by others certainly isn't new, but this generation of girls is growing up in an age when the "like" button shows the world just how well-liked they are. When girls acknowledge that they possess positive traits that make them interesting, strong, and likeable, however, the focus shifts and their self-confidence soars; "likes" lose their importance. This book offers actionable steps to help parents empower young girls to be kind, confident leaders who work together and build each other up.
Download or read book The Development of Relational Aggression written by Sarah M. Coyne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 369 pages. 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.

Download or read book Relational Aggression Among Emerging Adults written by Kyle Meditz and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relational aggression (RA) consists of behaviors meant to harm the social status or self-esteem of others through exploitation of relationships. RA has been studied in children and adolescents in the context of their peer relationships, suggesting associations with antisocial behavior, interpersonal impairments, and psychological maladjustment. Fewer studies of RA have been conducted with older adolescents and emerging adults and these have not considered the social context of relational aggression, such as with peer or romantic partners, as a meaningful correlate. Emerging adults are at increased risk for psychological maladjustment, including depression, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation and attempts, compared to the general population. The present study therefore investigated the association of RA and gender with perceived quality of relationships and social psychological adjustment, in a sample of students (N=104) attending an urban, public, ethnically diverse college. It was hypothesized that: (1) females will perpetrate more romantic RA than males; (2) greater frequency of RA victimization, regardless of social context, would be correlated with poor adjustment; (3) romantic RA would be associated with worse adjustment than peer RA; and (4) presence of RA perpetration within multiple rather than single contexts would be associated with poorer adjustment. No significant gender differences were observed in rates of RA perpetration or victimization, regardless of social context of RA. However, males' reports of high rates of RA perpetration within multiple social contexts was significantly correlated with poor adjustment across all dimensions. Limitations and implications for future research in this age group and preventon are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dark Side of Interpersonal Communication examines the multifunctional ways in which seemingly productive communication can be destructive—and vice versa—and explores the many ways in which dysfunctional interpersonal communication operates across a variety of personal relationship contexts. This second edition of Brian Spitzberg and William Cupach’s classic volume presents new chapters and topics, along with updates of several chapters in the earlier edition, all in the context of surveying the scholarly landscape for new and important avenues of investigation. Offering much new content, this volume features internationally renowned scholars addressing such compelling topics as uncertainty and secrecy in relationships; the role of negotiating self in cyberspace; criticism and complaints; teasing and bullying; infidelity and relational transgressions; revenge; and adolescent physical aggression toward parents.

By posing questions at the micro and macro levels, The Dark Side of Interpersonal Communication draws closer to a perspective in which the darker sides and brighter sides of human experience are better integrated in theory and research. Appropriate for scholars, practitioners, and students in communication, social psychology, sociology, counseling, conflict, personal relationships, and related areas, this book is also useful as a text in graduate courses on interpersonal communication, ethics, and other special topics.

Download or read book Cross gender Relational Aggression in Adolescence written by Christopher Robert Skrabec and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of this study were to examine cross-gender relational aggression during adolescence and how it may be related to depression and self-esteem. Specifically of interest was how gender composition of aggressor-victim dyads may relate differently to depression and self-esteem reported by victims. This study was conducted using a survey with 35 freshman at a Northern California high school. Results support the linkage between victimization and depression for all groups where self-esteem was associated with only same-gender aggressor-victim dyads. Genders differences were found in the ratings of harmfulness of relational aggression tactics. Limitations and future implications are discussed.

This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying has long been tolerated as a rite of passage among children and adolescents. There is an implication that individuals who are bullied must have "asked for" this type of treatment, or deserved it. Sometimes, even the child who is bullied begins to internalize this idea. For many years, there has been a general acceptance and collective shrug when it comes to a child or adolescent with greater social capital or power pushing around a child perceived as subordinate. But bullying is not developmentally appropriate; it should not be considered a normal part of the typical social grouping that occurs throughout a child's life. Although bullying behavior endures through generations, the milieu is changing. Historically, bulling has occurred at school, the physical setting in which most of childhood is centered and the primary source for peer group formation. In recent years, however, the physical setting is not the only place bullying is occurring. Technology allows for an entirely new type of digital electronic aggression, cyberbullying, which takes place through chat rooms, instant messaging, social media, and other forms of digital electronic communication. Composition of peer groups, shifting demographics, changing societal norms, and modern technology are contextual factors that must be considered to understand and effectively react to bullying in the United States. Youth are embedded in multiple contexts and each of these contexts interacts with individual characteristics of youth in ways that either exacerbate or attenuate the association between these individual characteristics and bullying perpetration or victimization. Recognizing that bullying behavior is a major public health problem that demands the concerted and coordinated time and attention of parents, educators and school administrators, health care providers, policy makers, families, and others concerned with the care of children, this report evaluates the state of the science on biological and psychosocial consequences of peer victimization and the risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease peer victimization behavior and consequences.

Download or read book Relational Aggression and Student Engagement written by Lynanne Williams and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a substantial amount of scholarly research has repeatedly shown the negative effects of bullying on children and adolescents (Chapell et al., 2006; Crick & Grotpeter, 1995; Crick et al., 1999), less is known about the effects of peer victimization on young adults. This study investigated the relationship between relational aggression (RA; Gros et al., 2010) and student engagement (SE; Appleton, Christenson, Kim, & Reschly, 2006) for males and females in a college sample. A correlational design utilized self-report surveys (Appleton et al., 2006; Morales & Crick, 1998) of RA and SE obtained from 75 college students. Pearson correlations (Stevens, 2009) were -0.27126 for Group 1, which included participants endorsing a romantic relationship, suggesting a weak, negative correlation, and -0.14679 for Group 2, which included participants not endorsing a romantic relationship, suggesting no relationship, or a negligible relationship. Thus, neither finding was significant. Implications, limitations, and directions for further research are discussed.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore and understand relational workplace aggression among female faculty and administrators at three western U.S. universities. This study was designed to address the gap in empirical knowledge of the phenomenon by elucidating how workplace relational aggression affects the lives of female university faculty and administrators who are targets of workplace aggression by their female colleagues. This study employed mixed methods: quantitative data were derived from surveys sent to 210 female faculty and administrators at three universities; qualitative data were derived from face-to-face interviews conducted with 9 survey respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to draw conclusions from the data derived from the survey. The quantitative research explored the perceived prevalence of workplace aggression, as defmed and delimited by twenty-three workplace aggression survey items. Among the twenty-three survey items designed to query workplace aggression instances and associated prevalence, nearly a quarter of respondents noted they had been subject to someone rolling their eyes when the respondents were talking, receiving unkind looks, and being given the silent treatment. Another quantitative question explored perceptions of the effect of relational aggression on job satisfaction. Although the means indicated that the majority of participants disagreed to some extent with the majority of the survey items associated with reduced job satisfaction, the highest ranked items conveyed psychological and emotional impacts that reflected reduced job satisfaction including sleepless nights and crying. The inductive analysis of the interview data yielded five broad themes. They were: (a) anytime, anywhere; (b) motives; (c) trigger events; (d) target resilience; and (e) not everybody. None of the interviewees indicated a motive associated with race, sexual orientation or gender, but several referenced power, feelings of importance and self- esteem as factors in the aggression they experienced or witnessed. Interviewees most often cited the motivation for relational aggression to be jealousy, although their circumstances varied. Although the quantitative data in terms of overall prevalence of experiences associated with workplace aggression instances were low, the qualitative data indicated that workplace aggression was an issue, with eight of the nine respondents indicating that they had been witnesses to such acts, and seven of the nine indicating that they had at some point been targets of aggression.
