Download or read book Family Peer Relationships written by Ross D. Parke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1992, this volume provided an up-to-date overview of recent research concerning the links between family and peer systems. Considerable work in the past had focused on family issues or peer relationships, but these systems had typically been considered separately. This volume bridges the gap across these two important socialization contexts and provides insights into the processes that account for the links across the systems – the ways in which the relationships between these systems shift across development. In addition, the variations in the links between family and peers are illustrated by cross-cultural work, studies of abused children, and research on the impact of maternal depression. In short, the volume provides not only a convenient overview of recent progress at the time but lays out an agenda for future research.
Download or read book Moderating Effect of Intimate Exchange on the Reciprocal Relation Between Best Friend Delinquency and Child Externalizing Behavior written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates both peer selection (choosing behaviorally similar individuals as friends) and peer socialization (mutual regulation of behavior) processes impact the development of problem behavior in childhood and adolescence. Differential association theory explains these processes by suggesting children and adolescents elect to participate in peer groups that conform to a commonly accepted set of group norms. Moreover, deviant peer groups ascribe to unconventional norms characterized by a higher proportion of pro-deviance messages learned in the context of intimate personal groups. Consistent with differential association theory, the current study examined the moderating effect of intimate exchange, or relational closeness, on the reciprocal relation between externalizing behavior (aggressive and rule breaking behavior) and best friend delinquency (rule breaking behavior). Participants included 65 children (67% male), ranging from 10-13 years of age at baseline (M = 11.95 years, SD = 1.30), and their primary caregivers. Contrary to hypotheses, peer delinquency did not predict increases in child externalizing behavior over time and intimate exchange did not moderate this effect. Moreover, intimate exchange moderated the relation between child externalizing behavior and best friend delinquency, but not in the expected direction. At high levels of intimate exchange, best friend delinquency predicted decreases in child externalizing behavior whereas at low levels of intimate exchange, best friend delinquency predicted increases in child externalizing behavior. Implications and future directions of these findings are discussed.

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.

Download or read book Self esteem as a Mediator Between the Quality of Interpersonal Relationships in the Family and Children s Social Acceptance by Peers written by Marcia L. Galvinhill and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was conducted to examine whether the quality of interpersonal relationships in the family is predictive of later social acceptance by peers and to evaluate self-esteem as one mechanism by which interpersonal relationships in the family and social acceptance by peers might be related. No previous research has established whether self-esteem functions as a link between interpersonal relationships in the family and social acceptance by peers. Due to potential differences in socialization, race and gender were examined as possible moderators of the connection between interpersonal relationships in the family and children's social acceptance by peers mediated by self-esteem. All participants were non-chronically-ill control participants from a larger study designed to investigate the impact of severe chronic illnesses on the psychosocial functioning of children and their families. Participants were 171 8- to 15-year-old children, their mothers and fathers, and classroom peers. The sample included data from 83 girls and 88 boys. Seventy-two participants were African American and 99 were European American. Data collection relevant to the present study occurred in three phases. During the first phase of data collection, Like-Rating Scale (Asher, Singleton, Tinsley, & Hymel, 1979) scores were collected in the classroom. In the second phase, participants were visited at their home where the Family Environment Scale (FES; Moos & Moos, 1986) was completed by the parents, and the Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC; Harter, 1985)was completed by the child. In the third phase, Like-Rating scores were collected again 1 1/2 to two years later in the classroom of each child participant. The findings suggest that the quality of interpersonal relationships in the family is related to the child's self-esteem and is related to subsequent social acceptance by peers. The child's self-esteem is also related to subsequent social acceptance by peers. However, self-esteem does not appear to be an explanatory link in the relationship between the quality of interpersonal relationships in the family and subsequent social acceptance by peers. That self-esteem does not explain the connection between family and peer relationships appears to be true for boys and girls, for European Americans and African Americans.

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.
