Download or read book Social Emotional and Psychophysiological Risk Factors for Aggression in Pre Adolescent Girls written by Kelsey Stiles and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conduct problems in youth, including aggression, constitute a significant and increasing public health burden. Despite replicated evidence that conduct problems in girls predict numerous poor outcomes (e.g., health, substance use), research on aggression is focused almost exclusively on boys, thus perpetuating significant gaps in knowledge about risk factors, explanatory processes, and outcomes in girls. In boys, threat-biased social information processing is a correlate of aggressive behavior, particularly reactive aggression (i.e., retaliatory response to perceived threat/provocation). Elevated trait negative emotionality, the dispositional tendency to experience negative affective states such as anger and sadness, is a transdiagnostic risk factor for emotional and behavioral problems that may plausibly interfere with social cognition to promote aggression. Individual differences in autonomic functioning, including respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), are also replicated risk factors for emotional and behavioral problems, as aberrant psychophysiological responding can have pronounced effects on emotional reactivity and regulation. Despite theoretical rationale and empirical support from research with boys and men, the associations of social information processing, elevated trait negative emotionality, and RSA with respect to aggression in girls remain largely unknown. To inform models of aggressive behavior in girls, the goals of these dissertation studies were to evaluate individual differences in negative emotionality, social information processing, and psychophysiology (i.e., RSA) as correlates of conduct problems, including separate dimensions of aggression (e.g., relational aggression). Using a sample of ethnically diverse pre-adolescent girls, Study I evaluated trait negative emotionality and threat-biased encoding and interpretation processes as sequential predictors of conduct problems. Preliminary evidence suggested that the hypothesized chain reaction effect marginally predicted both reactive relational aggression and general aggressive behavior. In the same sample, Study II assessed initial RSA and RSA withdrawal (i.e., reductions in RSA, also referred to as RSA reactivity), during a novel social information processing task, as correlates of conduct problems. Excessive RSA withdrawal was associated with higher levels of reactive relational aggression, and RSA initial values were inversely associated with rule-breaking behavior. Although these findings largely align with previous findings from male samples, reactive physical aggression was generally unrelated to aberrant social cognition and individual differences in RSA, unlike previous evidence based mostly on boys. Collectively, these preliminary findings fill critical gaps in knowledge on aggression and conduct problems in girls, informing the design of future studies that can propel targeted prevention and intervention approaches that are specific to risk factors and processes in girls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Aggressive behavior during childhood and adolescence is an important risk factor for later serious and persistent adjustment problems in adulthood, including criminal behavior, school dropout as well as family-related and economic problems. Researchers have thus deployed considerable efforts to uncover what drives individuals to attack and hurt others. Each chapter explores the issue of aggression with an introduction, theoretical considerations, measures and methods, research findings, implications, and future directions"--

Book excerpt: Authors from Europe and the USA give a summary in this book of the current psychological knowledge about the socialization determinants of human aggressive behavior development and outline theoretical perspectives as wellas directions of future research. Thus, the volume includes theoretical and conceptual chapters concerning socialization and sources of aggression (Part I), chapters presenting a summary of empirical researchon early developmental determinants of aggressive and antisocial behavior patterns (Part II), chapters on the effects of social norms and education onaggression in children and youth (Part III), and finally contributions analyzing relationship between aggression as a psychological phenomenon and socio-cultural phenomena and processes (Part IV). The contributing authors have outstanding research experience and significant publications on socialization and aggression development. Their studies are embedded in various philosophical traditions and specific socio-cultural experiences; the book therefore provides a wide range of approaches and syntheses of current research.

Download or read book Aggression and Adaptation written by Todd D. Little and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-02-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aggression and Adaptation raises thought provoking questions about interpersonal functioning within social groups. The reader may find him/herself entertaining thoughts about the nature of goodness as the chapters suggest that aggressive behavior can offer significant avenues for personal growth, goal attainment, and bolstering one's social standing. The volume brings to light alternative points of view to the prevailing orthodoxy that aggression equals pathology. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book features evolutionary, school, feminist, historical, and methodological perspectives. Adaptation is addressed at multiple levels, the first of which is ultimate causation. Four chapters cover the aggression-adaptation link from various evolutionary perspectives. Succeeding chapters focus on: adaptation as psychological adjustment; aggression in the peer system and the contexts in which these systems occur; and the self-other dialectic in societal context, highlighting that aggressive children are often well-embedded in the social network. Intended for researchers in developmental, evolutionary, social, personality, and educational psychology, as well as developmental psychopathologists, this book is also suitable for advanced courses on social-personality development, the psychology of violence, aggression, peer relationships, and human motivation.

They also look at violence at multiple levels: individual, family, neighborhood, cultural, and across multiple perspectives and systems, including treatment, justice, education, and public health.
Download or read book Prosocial Development written by Laura M. Padilla-Walker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prosocial behavior-broadly defined as voluntary action intended to help or benefit another-has been associated with positive outcomes across the lifespan. Children with a more prosocial orientation are better liked and trusted by their peers, have a higher status in peer groups, are better at maintaining friendships, demonstrate better self regulation, empathy, and social cognitive skills, and excel in academics. Researchers have shown that prosocial behaviors correlate to lower rates of school suspension and drop-out, teen pregnancy, substance use, aggression, and delinquency. These positive effects speak to the value of prosocial behavior during formative years. Prosocial Development examines a variety of biological, socialization, and contextual influences on prosocial development from infancy through early adulthood. While the definition of prosocial behavior may seem straightforward, recent research has highlighted its multifaceted nature. This volume specifically focuses on the multidimensionality of prosocial development, examining different contexts, motivations, types, and targets of prosocial behavior that are differentially predicted by socialization and dispositional characteristics. Skillfully edited by Drs. Padilla-Walker and Carlo, each chapter in this volume highlights some aspect of multidimensionality in regard to prosocial behavior and meaningful avenues for future research. This volume will be an important tool for scholars, researchers, and practitioners who are interested in prosocial, moral, and positive youth development. The organization and focus of this volume are also well-suited for use as a text for graduate courses in moral development, child and adolescent development, social psychology, sociology, anthropology, and family studies.
