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 The Dark Side of Interpersonal Communication written by Brian H. Spitzberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-03-04 with total page 427 pages. 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. The chapters are organized thematically and offer a range of perspectives from both junior scholars and seasoned academics. 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 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.

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 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 Stability and Change in Relationships written by Anita L. Vangelisti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-01 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding interpersonal relationships requires understanding actors, behaviors, and contexts. This 2002 volume presents research from a variety of disciplines that examine personal relationships on all three levels. The first section focuses on the factors that influence individuals to enter, maintain, and dissolve relationships. The second section emphasizes ongoing processes that characterize relationships and focuses on issues such as arguing and sacrificing. The third and final section demonstrates that the process of stability and change are embedded in social, cultural, and historical contexts. Chapters address cultural universals as well as cross-cultural differences in relationship behaviors and outcomes. The emergence of relational forms, such as the interaction between people and computers, is also explored. Stability and Change in Relationships will be of interest to a broad range of fields, including psychology, sociology, communications, gerontology, and counselling.

Download or read book Associations Between Attachment Styles Relational Aggression and Victimization and Sexual Behavior Among Emerging Adults written by Jennifer Janette Guyre Reid and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined associations between attachment styles, relational aggression and victimization, and sexual behavior in the context of romantic relationships during emerging adulthood. The sample included 306 college students attending an urban university in the southeastern United States. Multiple regression analyses indicated that individuals with dismissive and fearful attachment reported higher levels of relational aggression, and individuals with fearful and preoccupied attachment reported higher rates of relational victimization as compared to those with secure attachment. Neither relational aggression nor relational victimization accounted for a significant portion of the variance in sexual behaviors. However, significant three-way interactions were found that indicated dismissive and secure attachment style, as compared to other attachment styles, moderated associations between relational victimization and sexual behavior and that the strength of these relations differed by gender. These findings highlight the complexity of these interrelations and have important implications for prevention and intervention efforts.

Download or read book Romantic Relationships in Emerging Adulthood written by Frank D. Fincham and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging adulthood - the period between the late teens and mid-twenties - is a unique and important developmental period during which people gain relationship experience before settling on someone to partner with. Romantic Relationships in Emerging Adulthood presents a synthesis of cutting-edge research and theory on this topic. Leading scholars from demography, sociology, family studies, and psychology provide original data and theoretical analyses that address the formation, nature, and significance of romantic relationships in emerging adults. Until recently, it was assumed that romantic relationships in emerging adults were not particularly important or formative. The material presented allows this assumption to be thoroughly evaluated. This volume is intended to be a resource for anyone interested in understanding romantic relationships in emerging adulthood. It is especially appropriate for classroom use in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in the fields of family sociology, human development and family studies, clinical and developmental psychology, and social work.

Download or read book Exploring the Influence of Dyadic Adult Attachment on Physical Sexual and Relational Aggression Within Romantic Relationships written by Jonathan Burton Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify if an association exists between dyadic adult attachment and physical, sexual, and relational aggression within romantic relationships. Participants were 696 couples who completed the RELATE in 2009. Subscales of the RELATE measuring adult attachment, physical/sexual aggression, and relational aggression were utilized to complete this study. Individuals were identified as secure, dismissing, preoccupied, or fearful based on their answers to the attachment measure. Attachment scores were then paired with their partner's score to form a dyadic adult attachment categorization. Differential inferential statistics were used to determine differences among attachment dyads in regard to physical/sexual and relational aggression. Relationships consisting of at least one insecurely-attached partner indicated higher levels of physical/sexual and relational aggression from both male and female partners. Relationships consisting of two insecurely-attached partners indicated the highest levels of physical/sexual and relational aggression among all groups. The findings of this study highlight the need for therapists to incorporate a measure for adult attachment into their intake assessment measures to assess risk for relationship aggression and provide context for couples presenting with a history of relationship aggression.
