Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Sozialpädagogik, Note: 1,0, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, Veranstaltung: Konflikte in der Schule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird zunächst der Begriff der Aggression erläutert und von verwandten Begriffen abgegrenzt. Danach gilt es zu veranschaulichen, wie sich Aggressionen äußern können und wie man diese unterschiedlichen Formen von Aggression kategorisieren kann. Da es für Lehrerinnen und Lehrer von Bedeutung ist, zu erkennen, woher aggressives Verhalten rührt, werden im Anschluss verschiedene Aggressionstheorien präzise zusammengefasst und kritisch gewürdigt. Nach einer Befassung mit den theoretischen Grundlagen des Begriffs Aggression liegt der Fokus auf dem Anwendungsbereich der Schule.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Sonstiges, Note: keine, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg, Veranstaltung: Besonderheiten der psychischen Entwicklung im pädagogischen Feld, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Medien berichten immer zunehmender über Gewalt an den Schulen, auch wissenschaftliche Berichte zeigen auf, dass Gewalttaten zwischen Schülern und dem Lehrkörper in der letzten Zeit zugenommen haben. Die Schule ist neben der Familie eine der wichtigsten Sozialisationsinstanzen, die Kinder in ihrem Leben durchlaufen. Daher sollten sie ein Umfeld in ihrer schulischen Laufbahn vorfinden, in dem sie sich frei und ohne Zwänge entwickeln können. Da dies auch als eine Verpflichtung der Gesellschaft gegenüber „ihren“ Kindern verstanden werden kann, müssen die Verantwortlichen für die Ausbildung, unter Einbeziehung der Erziehungsberechtigten, hier im pädagogischen Feld tätig werden. Für eine Annäherung an das Thema „Gewalt in der Schule“ wird in dieser Arbeit sich einer psychologischen Sichtweise bedient, um im weiteren Verlauf Richtlinien zu erarbeiten, die als Hilfestellung für den Umgang von gewalttätigen Schülern verstanden werden können. In der Literatur besteht kein Zweifel, dass sich Gewalttaten auf Aggressionen und Aggressionspotentiale zurückführen lassen. In dieser Arbeit wird davon ausgegangen, dass natürliche Aggressionen und Aggressionspotentiale in jedem Menschen vorhanden sind, welche Schutzfunktionen für das Überleben erfüllen. Diese Sichtweise lässt sich darin begründen, dass Tiere von Geburt an über ein gewisses Aggressionspotential verfügen, um Nahrungsquellen und die Fortpflanzung zu sichern. Die Annahme über ein natürliches Aggressionspotential beim Menschen ist insofern zu erklären, da sich der Mensch in seiner Evolution auch aus einem Tier entwickelte. Dieses dient zwar nicht als plausible Erklärung für die Gewalt an Schule und in der Gesellschaft, erklärt aber warum sie existiert. Für eine genauere Untersuchung werden die wichtigsten Theorien der Aggressionsforschung untersucht. Im weiteren Verlauf werden zudem Formen von Aggressionen im Allgemeinen und im Speziellen in Bezug zur Schule dargestellt. Hierzu wird ein Forschungsbericht über aggressives Verhalten und Gewalt an Schulen Sachsen-Anhalts herangezogen. Den Abschluss bildet, wie oben erwähnt, eine Übersicht von Möglichkeiten, wie Lehrer und Eltern mit aggressiven Verhalten in der Schule umgehen können. Ein weiteres Anliegen ist es aggressives Verhalten nicht zu verdammen, sondern die Hintergründe und Motivationen der Täter zu verstehen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Pädagogische Psychologie, Note: 2.0, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Erziehungswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: HS: Emotionale Störungen im Kindes- u. Jugendalter - Möglichkeiten pädagogisch-therapeutischen Handelns in der Schule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gewalt ist ein Thema, das alle Menschen bewegt, egal welchem Milieu sie angehören, welches Geschlecht sie haben oder welchem kulturellen und ethnischen Hintergrund sie entstammen. Jeder reagiert individuell auf Gewalt, entsprechend der Situation, in welcher er sie erfährt: schockiert, ängstlich, betroffen, selbst aggressiv oder sogar amüsiert. Oft betrachtet die okzidentale Gesellschaft Gewalt als ein Phänomen der Anderen, als Ausdruckeines "vormodernen Zivilisationsstandes". Vor allen Dinge ist es die Schule als Schauplatz der Gewalt schockierend, da Schulen Symbole für eine viel versprechende Zukunft sein sollen. Diese Arbeit wendet sich Aggression und Gewalt an Schulen zu. Die Begriffe "Gewalt" und "Aggression" werden multiperspektivisch betrachtet, da das Phänomen von Aggression und Gewalt nicht nur von der Psychologie, sondern auch von Soziologie, Anthropologie, Geschichtswissenschaft, Biologie, Medizin, Verhaltensforschung, etc. untersucht wird. Ferner gibt es einen Ausblick auf unterschiedliche Ansätze, wie z.B. Lerntheorie oder ethnologische Modelle. Die Medien stellen allein die Schüler als Träger der Gewalt ins Zentrum des Interesses, daher ist auch die Struktur der Schule und die Lehrer als Faktoren für Gewalt in die Analyse mit einzubeziehen. Die theoretischen Überlegungen werden dann an den statistischen Daten des Berliner Senates konkretisiert. Speziell die Hypothese, dass Gewalt unter Jugendlichen zunimmt, wie es von den Medien immer wieder behauptet wird, soll kritisch untersucht werden.

Book excerpt: Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2000 im Fachbereich Padagogik - Padagogische Psychologie, Note: 1,5, Padagogische Hochschule Weingarten (Pad. Psychologie), Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Namen von Personen und Orten wurden vor der Veroffentlichung geandert., Abstract: 1. Einleitung Aggression und Gewalt waren schon immer brisante Themen und werden auch in Zukunft Be-standteil der menschlichen Existenz bleiben. Die Meinung, dass Aggressionen und Gewalt heute ein wesentlich grosseres Problem darstellen als fruher, ist immer haufiger anzutreffen. Vor allem hort man immer wieder, dass Kinder wesentlich aggressiver seien. Die Hauptursa-che fur diesen Eindruck liegt vermutlich in den Berichten der Medien. Man hort von einem 15-jahrigen Schuler, der seine Lehrerin mit 22 Messerstichen brutal ermordet hat oder von Gruppen, die anderen Kindern auflauern, sie erpressen oder qualen. In den USA haufen sich Falle von jugendlichen Amoklaufern, die Dutzende von Kindern erschiessen. Die Allgemein-heit scheint sich der Grunde sicher zu sein: Man hort Schlagworte wie Gewalt im Fernsehen" oder auch Verwahrlosung." Inwiefern die Inhalte dieser Begriffe eine Rolle spielen, werde ich im Laufe der Arbeit klaren. Nach einigen Definitionsvorschlagen und der Unterscheidung verschiedener Arten der Aggression, werde ich zunachst die wichtigsten Aggressionstheorien und Erklarungsmoglichkeiten darstellen. Kapitel 2 beschaftigt sich mit biologischen Faktoren, mit soziologischen Erklarungen und psychologischen Theorien. Es folgt ein kurzer Vergleich der Ansatze. Nach den ersten beiden allgemeinen Kapiteln, werde ich in den folgenden Punkten direkten Bezug zur Schule herstellen. Zunachst werde ich in Kapitel 3 ein Modell aggressiven Schulerverhaltens darstellen. Kapitel 4 beschreibt konkrete Erscheinungsformen von Aggressionen in der Schule. Die wichtigste Frage wird allerdings sein, was die Schule und Lehrer unternehmen konnen, damit Aggressionen und Gewalt gar nicht erst zum Problem werden. Vorsc

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews how people and animals learn and how their behaviors are later changed as a result of this learning. Nearly all of our behaviors are influenced by prior learning experiences in some way. This book describes some of the most important principles, theories, controversies, and experiments that pertain to learning and behavior that are applicable to many different species and many different learning situations. Many real-world examples and analogies make the concepts and theories more concrete and relevant to the students. In addition, most of the chapters include sections that describe how the theories and principles have been used in the applied field of behavior modification. Each chapter in the seventh edition was updated with new studies and new references that reflect recent developments in the field. The book includes a number of learning aids for students, including a list of learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter, practices quizzes and review questions, and a glossary for all important terms. Learning & Behavior covers topics such as classical and operant conditioning, reinforcement schedules, avoidance and punishment, stimulus control, comparative cognition, observational learning, motor skill learning, and choice. Both the classic studies and the most recent developments and trends in the field are explored. Although the behavioral approach is emphasized, many cognitive theories are covered as well along with a chapter on comparative cognition. Upon completing this book readers will be able to:understand the field of learning and discuss real-world applications of learning principles.

Book excerpt: Anthropologists have written a great deal about the coastal adaptations and seafaring traditions of Pacific Islanders, but have had much less to say about the significance of rivers for Pacific island culture, livelihood and identity. The authors of this collection seek to fill that gap in the ethnographic record by drawing attention to the deep historical attachments of island communities to rivers, and the ways in which those attachments are changing in response to various forms of economic development and social change. In addition to making a unique contribution to Pacific island ethnography, the authors of this volume speak to a global set of issues of immense importance to a world in which water scarcity, conflict, pollution and the degradation of riparian environments afflict growing numbers of people. Several authors take a political ecology approach to their topic, but the emphasis here is less on hydro-politics than on the cultural meaning of rivers to the communities we describe. How has the cultural significance of rivers shifted as a result of colonisation, development and nation-building? How do people whose identities are fundamentally rooted in their relationship to a particular river renegotiate that relationship when the river is dammed to generate hydro-power or polluted by mining activities? How do blockages in the flow of rivers and underground springs interrupt the intergenerational transmission of local ecological knowledge and hence the ability of local communities to construct collective identities rooted in a sense of place?

Book excerpt: It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 10th ACM Conference on Web Science, Amsterdam, 27-30 May 2018. This year's edition of the WebSci conference (WebSci'18) celebrates the ten year anniversary of the unique conference series where a multitude of disciplines converge in a creative and critical dialogue with the aim of understanding the Web and its impacts. The WebSci conference brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, like computer science, sociology, economics, information science, anthropology and psychology. Web Science is the emergent study of the people and technologies, applications, processes and practices that shape and are shaped by the World Wide Web. Web Science aims to draw together theories, methods and findings from across academic disciplines, and to collaborate with industry, business, government and civil society, to develop our knowledge and understanding of the Web: the largest socio-technical network in human history. This year we were very pleased to receive 113 submissions for the regular research track. Given the high quality of submissions, it has been a hard job to decide which of the contributions to select for the conference. We are grateful for the support of the Program Committee which consisted of 10 senior members and 35 regular members. All PC members worked hard, based on which we could select an interesting, varied, exciting program comprising 30 long and 15 short papers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychologist Diana Baumrind's revolutionary prototype of parenting, called authoritative parenting, combines the best of various parenting styles. In contrast to previously advocated styles involving high responsiveness and low demandingness (i.e., permissive parenting) or low responsiveness and high demandingness (i.e., authoritarian parenting), authoritative parenting involves high levels of both responsiveness and demandingness. The result is an appropriate mix of warm nurturance and firm discipline. Decades of research have supported the prototype, and we now know that authoritative parenting fosters high achievement, emotional adjustment, self-reliance, and social confidence in children and adolescents. In this book, leading scholars update our thinking about authoritative parenting and address three unresolved issues: mechanisms of the style's effectiveness, variations of effectiveness across cultures, and untangling how parents influence children from how children influence them. By integrating perspectives from developmental and clinical psychology, the book will inform prevention and intervention efforts to help parents maximise their children's potential.

Book excerpt: This handbook presents the current evidence-based psychological treatments for trauma related disorders in childhood and adolescence and in addition provides clearly structured, up-to-date information on the basic principles of traumatic stress research and practice in that age group, covering epidemiology, developmental issues, pathogenetic models, diagnostics, and assessment. Each of the chapters on treatment, which form the core of the book, begins with a summary of the theoretical underpinnings of the approach, followed by a case presentation illustrating the treatment protocol session by session, an analysis of special challenges typically encountered in implementing this treatment, and an overview of the current evidence base for the treatment approach. A special section considers modern treatments in particular settings, such as schools, hospitals, and juvenile justice systems, and the concluding chapters provide an integrative discussion on how to treat traumatized children and adolescents and an outlook. The book will be invaluable for clinical child and adolescent psychologists, child and adolescent psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and other mental health professionals working with traumatized children and adolescents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination stress and test anxiety are pervasive problems in modern society. As the information age continues to evolve, test scores will become even more important than they are today in evaluating applicants for demanding jobs and candidates for admission into highly competitive educational programs. Because test anxiety gen- ally causes decrements in performance and undermines academic achievement, the development of effective therapeutic interventions for reducing its adverse effects will continue to be an important priority for counselors, psychologists, and educators. Alleviating test anxiety will also serve to counteract the diminished access to edu- tional and occupational opportunities that is frequently experienced by test-anxious individuals. As its title promises, this volume provides a state-of-the-art evaluation of the nature, antecedents, correlates, and consequences of examination stress and test anxiety. Professor Zeidner’s cogent and comprehensive analysis of the affective, cognitive, somatic, and behavioral manifestations of test anxiety are grounded in the extensive knowledge he has gained from his own research on the assessment and treatment of test anxiety. This work has also benefitted from the author’s lo- standing and productive collaboration with leading contributors to test anxiety theory and research, and his active participation in national and international conferences devoted to understanding test anxiety, including those convened by the Society for Test Anxiety Research (STAR).
