This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that children are often less accepting of their overweight peers as compared to their average weight counterparts (e.g., Brylinsky & Moore, 1994; Cramer & Steinwert, 1998). Blaming one for his/her overweight condition may lead to more negative attributions about that person, according to attribution theory (Weiner, 1986). The current study examined the role of blame in children's attributions about their overweight peers. Further, the current study investigated whether perceiver characteristics, specifically age and gender, were related to children's attributions about their overweight peers, and the extent to which blame mediated these relationships. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine whether the seven traits (e.g., being bad, worried, happy, nice) measured in this study were reflective of a single, unidimensional factor rather than separate constructs. Data for two hundred ninety-one children (aged 3- to 11-years-old) were analyzed for this study. Participants were assigned to view a videotape of a same-sex peer dressed to appear overweight. Following the viewing of the videotape, children completed the Child Interview (Lehmkuhl, 2005; Lehmkuhl et al., 2002; Lehmkuhl et al., 2004), which assessed the participants' perceptions of the target child on certain traits, their perceptions about how much the child was to blame for being overweight, and how much they generally accepted the target child. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that six of the seven traits loaded onto a single factor, referred to as "judgment." Blame was significantly and positively associated with judgment, with higher blame scores (low blame) being related to higher judgment scores (more positive judgment). Gender was neither related to blame nor judgment. Results also suggested age level differences in blame and attributions about overweight peers. However, these age level differences depended on which endogenous variable was being examined. Five- to 8-year-olds reported the least amount of blame, and, through mediation, the most accepting views of the model, compared to the other age groups. Young children (aged 3- to 4-years-old) were less accepting compared to the other two age groups, and thus, interventions should focus on this age group to possibly prevent negative opinions in later years. Further, because positivity toward overweight peers did not continue into the 9- to 11-year-old age group, interventions should also be directed at this age group, who might be apt to be less accepting of their overweight peers due to the social concerns and identity formation (Jones & Crawford, 2006; Neumark-Sztainer, Falkner, Story, Perry, Hannan, & Mulert, 2002) during this time in development. Future research should examine the impact of interventions on children's perceptions of fault for peers who are overweight to determine what techniques are related to improved perceptions of peers who are physically different.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the hypothesis that the association between hostile attributions and aggressive behavior with peers is moderated by children's temperament among three samples of preschoolers. Hostile attributions were assessed through videotape-based and story-based laboratory procedures. Maternal ratings and laboratory-based assessment provided the measures of temperament, and children's teachers completed ratings of aggression. Results revealed significant interaction terms between hostile attributions and temperament in the prediction of aggression. For children rated well or moderately skilled in self-regulation there was no association between hostile attributions and aggression. For children rated as poorly skilled in self-regulation making hostile attributions was significantly associated with aggression. This pattern of associations was particularly apparent for boys. Mother-rated items used to compute emotions regulation composite is appended. [This research was supported by a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Foundation research grant.] (Contains 5 tables and 3 figures.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to further examine childhood aggression as it relates to the social cognitive process of social cue interpretation and peer interactions by replicating previous studies that have examined children's attributions of intent and their subsequent behavioral responses and also by expanding on previous studies by examining possible gender and age group differences in social information processing. Participants were a sub-sample of 98 children selected from a community sample of self-nominated families in a university project, 'Parents and Children Together' (PACT). Findings indicated a link between hostile attributions and aggressive responses when these two constructs were measured at the same point in time using hypothetical situations. However, when the measures of social behavior followed the measure of hostile attributions by at least six months, it appeared that social behavior was unrelated to attributions of peer intent. With regard to gender differences, differences were found in observed aggression on the playground where boys engaged in significantly more aggressive behaviors than girls. No gender differences were found in children's intended aggression as measured by hypothetical peer problem situations or in the type of aggression (overt vs. relational), as reported by teachers. Age group differences were not found in the link between younger (5-6 year olds) and older (7-9 year olds) children's beliefs about their peer's intentions and their social behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender Development is the first book to examine gender from a truly developmental perspective and fills a real need for a textbook and source book for college and graduate students, parents, teachers, researchers, and counsellors. It examines the processes involved in the development of gender, addressing such sensitive and complex questions as what causes males and females to be different and why they behave in different ways. The authors provide an up-to-date, integrative review of theory and research, tracing gender development from the moment of conception through adulthood and emphasising the complex interaction of biology, socialisation, and cognition. The topics covered include hormonal influences, moral development, play and friendships, experiences at school and work, and psychopathology.

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.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
