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.

Download or read book Adult Friendship written by Rosemary Blieszner and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1992-06-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have a best friend? If so, you probably share the same race and social status. Why is this so? Does social structure determine your choice of friends? Or do other factors cause you to choose friends? Co-authors Blieszner and Adams explore these issues and offer a theoretical framework which incorporates both sociological and psychological perspectives on friendship. They use this model to synthesize the research theoretically, identify gaps in the literature, scrutinize the methods used, and produce a map for future research. Adult Friendship also covers historical conceptions of friendship, the internal structure of friendship, and the phases of friendship. Clearly written yet scholarly, Adult Friendship is perfect for students, researchers and professionals in psychology, sociology, communication, gerontology, family studies and social work. "The analysis is ably argued, identifying the contributions to and gaps in the field and challenging others to give attention to the theoretical and methodological issues in the emerging research on adult friendship." --Contemporary Sociology "Adult Friendship is a noteworthy publication in the emerging area of the study of personal relationships. . . . A useful synthesis of theory and research on close relationships over the life cycle. . . . suitable for students and others wanting an introduction to the topic, yet also gives professionals more knowledgeable with this literature a fresh, distinctive perspective on it. . . .Blieszner and Adams′ chapters are concise and internally well organized. . . . a worthwhile read for researchers, students, practitioners, and laypersons concerned with the study of friendship across the life span." --Journal of Marriage & The Family "This volume is an important addition to the useful Sage Series on Close Relationships. It treats a topic that has been too frequently ignored in the area of close relationship research. . . . The coverage of the literature in this volume is especially good due to the tight organizational scheme that facilitates summaries of many different findings. . . . In sum, there is no doubt that both researchers and students will find this volume to be extremely useful. This is a well-organized and comprehensive book that provides a concise summary of research on adult friendship, both from sociological and psychological perspectives. Significant gaps in the literature are identified and methodological criticisms are raised.

Download or read book Functions of Peer and Romantic Relational Aggression Associations with Social cognitive and Affective Factors written by Nicole L. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine relational aggression including associations with social-cognitive and affective factors in emerging adulthood. A sample of 217 (150 women) emerging adults (M age = 18.97 years; SD = 1.29) participated in a study on the functions of relational aggression in peer and romantic relationships. We examined the associations between socio-cognitive (normative beliefs about relational aggression, exclusivity, and rumination) and affective (emotion dysregulation and callous-unemotional traits) factors in general forms of peer and romantic relational aggression and proactive and reactive functions of peer and romantic relational aggression. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted on several items assessing reactive and proactive romantic relational aggression. Hierarchal multiple regression was used to examine unique associations between social-cognitive and affective factors and relational aggression sub types. Findings suggest that exclusivity and normative beliefs about aggression uniquely contributed engagement in relation aggression across relationship contexts. Findings of this study extend the literature on relational aggression in emerging adulthood.

Download or read book The Psychology of Friendship and Enmity written by Rom Harré and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume exploration of what might be termed "interpersonal war and peace" reveals why individuals and groups coalesce or collide, and how more positive relationships can be achieved. In this two-volume set, the most comprehensive treatment of its subject to date, eminent social scientists explore the processes involved in becoming friends—or enemies. Volume 1, Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Insights, focuses on friendship and enmity between individuals, examining situations that arise in romances, at school, at work, and between races, genders, and sexual identities. The text is enriched by a discussion of individual interactions in classic books and movies, what those stories reflect, and what they teach about human nature. Volume 2, Group and Intergroup Understanding, focuses on group dynamics across time and around the globe. Topics range from group interactions before and after the American Civil War to friendship and enmity between Afghans and Americans today. The work's ultimate concern, however, is to present ways in which individuals, groups, and nations can learn to be friends.

Download or read book The Lasting Effects of Relational Aggression on Women s Friendships with Other Women Including Their Relational Capacity for Others and Themselves written by Claudia D. Legarreta and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distinct from physical aggression where acts are meant to harm another's physical well-being, relational aggression is a covert mean of harming others through damage of social relationships. The present study explored the effect of relational aggression experienced during adolescence on adult female friendships, including female relational capacity. The effects of relational aggression on women's friendships are long lasting, and, therefore, it is important to learn as much as possible about the ways women develop friendships with one another and how they bridge the gap between girlhood and womanhood. This qualitative study provides a contextual understanding of the lasting effects of relational aggression on women's friendships with other women. Specifically, the research investigated the lived experiences of ten women who experienced relational aggression in adolescence and its current influence on their friendships with women using a phenomenological approach. The researcher employed individual in-depth interviews that were transcribed and analyzed for thematic content. Within the participant's interviews, the researcher identified common themes among experiences through the qualitative data analysis included how the participants defined relational aggression, how the participants develop their friendship circle, the messages given to them about how to handle conflicts, how they express their anger, and the important role female friendships have had on their development. The results of this study may benefit women who experienced relational aggression in adolescence as well as assist mental health care providers to understand better the role that relational images formed in adolescence has on the future friendships of adult women with one another.

Download or read book Testing the Instrumental and Reactive Motivations of Romantic Relational Aggression written by Charity E. Clifford and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature suggests that aggressive behaviors occur in response to provocation (i.e., reactive aggression) or to achieve a goal (i.e., instrumental aggression). Relational aggression - hen an individual harms another interpersonal relationships - has been studied from the reactive and instrumental framework in peer-directed contexts, usually with children. However, relational aggression in romantic relationships is yet to be studied from this framework. This dissertation includes a series of studies investigating whether two specific relationally aggressive behaviors found in romantic relationships (i.e., social sabotage and love withdrawal) are 1) motivated by instrumental and reactive aggression, 2) associated with differential characteristics, and 3) predictive of negative outcomes. The Romantic Relational Aggression Motivation (RRAM) scale, which included social sabotage and love withdrawal items with both instrumental and reactive motivations, was created to explore the above research questions. During Study 1a, an exploratory factor analysis using a sample of 170 emerging adults tested the factor structure of the RRAM. This resulted in love withdrawal, but not social sabotage, factoring into instrumental and reactive subscales. Using the same sample at a later wave, Study 1b refined the RRAM from Study 1a; the findings confirmed the results of Study 1a. In Study 2, using a sample of 118 emerging adults, the factor structure found in Study 1b was corroborated using a confirmatory factor analysis. Study 2 found that social sabotage was more closely related to instrumental than reactive love withdrawal. Reactive and instrumental love withdrawal were clearly differentiated based on their associations with constructs that were emotionally driven (e.g. neuroticism and hostile attribution bias) but not by their associations with constructs that dealt with power (e.g. self-relationship power and trait dominance). None of the romantic relational aggression scales were predictive of the negative outcomes in the study, possibly due to the small sample size (85 emerging adults) in the longitudinal portion of Study 2. As instrumental and reactive love withdrawal were associated with different constructs and combining the two together may cause substantial differences to be lost, the RRAM may be a useful tool for researchers of romantic relational aggression.

Download or read book Investing in the Health and Well Being of Young Adults written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young adulthood - ages approximately 18 to 26 - is a critical period of development with long-lasting implications for a person's economic security, health and well-being. Young adults are key contributors to the nation's workforce and military services and, since many are parents, to the healthy development of the next generation. Although 'millennials' have received attention in the popular media in recent years, young adults are too rarely treated as a distinct population in policy, programs, and research. Instead, they are often grouped with adolescents or, more often, with all adults. Currently, the nation is experiencing economic restructuring, widening inequality, a rapidly rising ratio of older adults, and an increasingly diverse population. The possible transformative effects of these features make focus on young adults especially important. A systematic approach to understanding and responding to the unique circumstances and needs of today's young adults can help to pave the way to a more productive and equitable tomorrow for young adults in particular and our society at large. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults describes what is meant by the term young adulthood, who young adults are, what they are doing, and what they need. This study recommends actions that nonprofit programs and federal, state, and local agencies can take to help young adults make a successful transition from adolescence to adulthood. According to this report, young adults should be considered as a separate group from adolescents and older adults. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults makes the case that increased efforts to improve high school and college graduate rates and education and workforce development systems that are more closely tied to high-demand economic sectors will help this age group achieve greater opportunity and success. The report also discusses the health status of young adults and makes recommendations to develop evidence-based practices for young adults for medical and behavioral health, including preventions. What happens during the young adult years has profound implications for the rest of the life course, and the stability and progress of society at large depends on how any cohort of young adults fares as a whole. Investing in The Health and Well-Being of Young Adults will provide a roadmap to improving outcomes for this age group as they transition from adolescence to adulthood.
