Book The Development of Relational Aggression

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 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.

Book Relational Aggression in Adolescents

Download or read book Relational Aggression in Adolescents written by Tiffany Ann Garner and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, peer directed aggression has become one of the most studied adjustment problems in children (Crick et al., 2006). This research has focused mainly on overt aggression, the form of aggression most common in male peer groups. A relational form of aggression, which aims to harm others by manipulating and damaging peer relationships, has been found to be relatively common in female peer groups (Crick & Grotpeter, 1995). Studies have shown relational aggression to be a damaging aspect of children's socialization within peer groups (Crick, Casas & Mosher, 1997). Little is known, however, about the internal processes behind why children engage in relationally aggressive behaviors. The present study attempted to address these limitations by examining the association between relational aggression and emotion regulation in a parochial school sample of 6th through 8th grade children (N = 186) and their teachers (N = 116). -- From the author's abstract.

Book Handbook of Resilience in Children

Download or read book Handbook of Resilience in Children written by Sam Goldstein and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of this handbook addresses not only the concept of resilience in children who overcome adversity, but it also explores the development of children not considered at risk addressing recent challenges as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The new edition reviews the scientific literature that supports findings that stress-hardiness and resilience in all children leads to happier and healthier lives as well as improved functionality across the lifespan. In this edition, expert contributors examine resilience in relation to environmental stressors as phenomena in child and adolescent disorders and as a means toward positive adaptation into adulthood. The significantly expanded third edition includes new and significantly revised chapters that explore strategies for developing resilience in families, clinical practice, and educational settings as well as its nurturance in caregivers and teachers. Key areas of coverage include: Exploration of the four waves of resilience research. Resilience in gene-environment transactions. Resilience in boys and girls. Resilience in family processes. Asset building as an essential component of intervention. Assessment of social and emotional competencies related to resilience. Building resilience through school bullying prevention. Resilience in positive youth development. Enhancing resilience through effective thinking. The Handbook of Resilience in Children, Third Edition, is an essential reference for researchers, clinicians and allied practitioners, and graduate students across such interrelated disciplines as child and school psychology, social work, public health as well as developmental psychology, special and general education, child and adolescent psychiatry, family studies, and pediatrics.

Book Socio cognitive  Physiological  and Behavioral Predictors of Preadolescent Physical and Relational Aggression

Download or read book Socio cognitive Physiological and Behavioral Predictors of Preadolescent Physical and Relational Aggression written by Megan June Gangel and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historically, aggression has received much attention in the field of psychology, because of the immediate consequences and long-lasting implications of aggressive behavior for both the victim (e.g. Card, 2003) and the perpetrator (e.g. Coie & Dodge, 1988). However, research that has examined the predictors of aggression often has focused on a single form of aggression: either physical or relational aggression (e.g. Spieker et al., 2012). The present study examined a model of both physical and relational aggression in order to determine whether similar processes in middle childhood predict both forms of aggression in preadolescence. Since several theories highlight the role of children's individual abilities in preadolescent aggression, we considered whether socio-cognitive (Dodge, 1986), physiological (Calkins & Keane, 2004), and behavioral (Zelazo & Cunningham, 2007) factors in middle childhood were predictors of physical and relational aggression in preadolescence. Using behavioral, self-reported, and sociometric nomination indicators the relations among hostile attribution bias, difficulties of physiological regulation, weak executive functioning, and expressions of physical and relational aggression were examined in a longitudinal community-based sample of children aged 7 and 10. Specifically, the study used multivariate multiple regressions to examine the role of children's hostile attribution bias, respiratory sinus arrhythmia withdrawal, and executive functioning abilities as predictors of peer nominated physical and relational aggression in preadolescence. First, predictors of physical aggression were examined. Results demonstrated that children who had poorer executive functioning scores at age 7, received significantly more peer nominations of physical aggression at age 10. However, children's hostile attribution bias, RSA withdrawal, and the two-way and three-way interactions of these focal variables at age 7 did not predict children's use of peer nominated physical aggression at age 10. In contrast to the findings on physical aggression, the interaction of children's hostile attribution bias and their executive functioning abilities predicted their peer nominated use of relational aggression. Children who had better executive functioning scores at age 7 received significantly more relational aggression nominations at age 10 only when their hostile attribution bias increased. Perhaps, children who have better emotional problem solving skills are able to reassess and reframe their negative emotions and successfully plan more deliberate and covert relational aggression as a response to perceived threats. However, children's physiological regulation at age 7 did not predict their use of relational aggression at age 10. Children who may have developed more advanced regulatory skills used more peer nominated relational aggression because they did not need to rely on their basic emotional control abilities in order to cope with their emotional challenges. The current study adds to our understanding of the individual processes that contribute to the use of both physical and relational aggression in preadolescence."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Book Understanding Peer Influence in Children and Adolescents

Download or read book Understanding Peer Influence in Children and Adolescents written by Mitchell J. Prinstein and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2008-05-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists, educators, and parents of teens have long recognized the potency of peer influences on children and youth, but until recently, questions of how and why adolescents emulate their peers were largely overlooked. This book presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the processes by which peers shape each other's attitudes and behavior, and explores implications for intervention and prevention. Leading authorities share compelling findings on such topics as how drug use, risky sexual behavior, and other deviant behaviors "catch on" among certain peer groups or cliques; the social, cognitive, developmental, and contextual factors that strengthen or weaken the power of peer influence; and the nature of positive peer influences and how to support them.
