Download or read book The Relationship Among Gender, Age, Blame, and Children's Attributions about an Overweight Peer written by Emily A. Iobst and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that children are often less accepting of their overweight peers as compared to their average weight counterparts (e.g., Brylinsky & Moore, 1994; Cramer & Steinwert, 1998). Blaming one for his/her overweight condition may lead to more negative attributions about that person, according to attribution theory (Weiner, 1986). The current study examined the role of blame in children's attributions about their overweight peers. Further, the current study investigated whether perceiver characteristics, specifically age and gender, were related to children's attributions about their overweight peers, and the extent to which blame mediated these relationships. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine whether the seven traits (e.g., being bad, worried, happy, nice) measured in this study were reflective of a single, unidimensional factor rather than separate constructs. Data for two hundred ninety-one children (aged 3- to 11-years-old) were analyzed for this study. Participants were assigned to view a videotape of a same-sex peer dressed to appear overweight. Following the viewing of the videotape, children completed the Child Interview (Lehmkuhl, 2005; Lehmkuhl et al., 2002; Lehmkuhl et al., 2004), which assessed the participants' perceptions of the target child on certain traits, their perceptions about how much the child was to blame for being overweight, and how much they generally accepted the target child. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that six of the seven traits loaded onto a single factor, referred to as "judgment." Blame was significantly and positively associated with judgment, with higher blame scores (low blame) being related to higher judgment scores (more positive judgment). Gender was neither related to blame nor judgment. Results also suggested age level differences in blame and attributions about overweight peers. However, these age level differences depended on which endogenous variable was being examined. Five- to 8-year-olds reported the least amount of blame, and, through mediation, the most accepting views of the model, compared to the other age groups. Young children (aged 3- to 4-years-old) were less accepting compared to the other two age groups, and thus, interventions should focus on this age group to possibly prevent negative opinions in later years. Further, because positivity toward overweight peers did not continue into the 9- to 11-year-old age group, interventions should also be directed at this age group, who might be apt to be less accepting of their overweight peers due to the social concerns and identity formation (Jones & Crawford, 2006; Neumark-Sztainer, Falkner, Story, Perry, Hannan, & Mulert, 2002) during this time in development. Future research should examine the impact of interventions on children's perceptions of fault for peers who are overweight to determine what techniques are related to improved perceptions of peers who are physically different.

Book excerpt: Previous research on peer victimization and aggression has provided some insight into the development and maintenance of physical aggression, but less is known about the processes involved in relational aggression. This short-term longitudinal study examined the direct association between relational victimization and relational aggression over a: five-month period, and proposed that hostile attributional bias for relational provocations was one mechanism linking relational victimization and relational aggression. Gender differences in the levels of relational victimization and aggression, hostile attributions, and physical victimization and aggression were explored. Participants included 140 elementary school children in grades four and five. Relational victimization and relational aggression were assessed from children's self-reports of how often they experienced relational victimization and how often they demonstrated relationally aggressive behaviors toward others respectively. Hostile intent attributions were measured from children's responses to five hypothetical peer provocation situations that depicted relational provocations (e.g., the child looks for a friend because they have an important secret to share with them, but finds that their friend is already playing with someone else that the child does not like very much). Concurrent and longitudinal findings revealed that more relationally victimized children were also more relationally aggressive toward their peers. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that hostile attributions partially mediated the association between relational victimization and relational aggression concurrently, but the mediating effect was not stable over time. Boys reported significantly higher levels of physical victimization. physical aggression, and relational aggression than girls. No significant gender differences for relational victimization or hostile attributions were revealed. Implications for the development of prevent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender Development is the first book to examine gender from a truly developmental perspective and fills a real need for a textbook and source book for college and graduate students, parents, teachers, researchers, and counsellors. It examines the processes involved in the development of gender, addressing such sensitive and complex questions as what causes males and females to be different and why they behave in different ways. The authors provide an up-to-date, integrative review of theory and research, tracing gender development from the moment of conception through adulthood and emphasising the complex interaction of biology, socialisation, and cognition. The topics covered include hormonal influences, moral development, play and friendships, experiences at school and work, and psychopathology.

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.

This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in the conceptualization of externalizing spectrum disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and substance use disorders, suggest common genetic and neural substrates. Despite this, neither shared vulnerabilities nor their implications for developmental models of externalizing conduct are captured by prevailing nosologic and diagnostic systems, such as the DSM-5. The Oxford Handbook of Externalizing Spectrum Disorders is the first book of its kind to capture the developmental psychopathology of externalizing spectrum disorders by examining causal factors across levels of analysis and developmental epochs, while departing from the categorical perspective. World renowned experts on externalizing psychopathology demonstrate how shared genetic and neural vulnerabilities predispose to trait impulsivity, a highly heritable personality construct that is often shaped by adverse environments into increasingly intractable forms of externalizing conduct across development. Consistent with contemporary models of almost all forms of psychopathology, the Handbook emphasizes the importance of neurobiological vulnerability and environmental risk interactions in the expression of externalizing behavior across the lifespan. The volume concludes with an integrative, ontogenic process model of externalizing psychopathology in which diverse equifinal and multifinal pathways to disorder are specified.

Book excerpt: "George Holden embraces the idea that parenting is a dynamic process: children affect parents just as much as parents affect children. A multi-level, ecological approach to parenting and childrearing allows a full range of parenting styles, covering topics from co-parenting, evolutionary views, human behavioral genetics, to religious influences, and addressing challenges to be encountered across parenting courses, such as family violence, behavior problems, and the role of pathology in the family. Completely updated in a new third edition, Parenting: A Dynamic Process presents research in a way that is accessible and interesting but also accurate, current, and intellectually rich. Although written from a psychological perspective, views and applications from other disciplines - including sociology, criminology, anthropology, and pediatrics - are also discussed where appropriate. The text discusses contemporary issues, such as fertility problems, daycare, marital conflict, whether or not to use physical punishment, divorce, remarriage and step-parents, gay parents, the effects of poverty, risks and benefits of media use among children, and family violence. Additionally, Holden includes selected studies from developing and non-western countries as well as recent statistics on such topics as US & world birthrate, birth problems, adolescent pregnancy, child injury, divorce and remarriage, child maltreatment, and certain social policy issues"--

Book excerpt: In this volume, Kathleen Nader has compiled an articulate and comprehensive guide to the complex process of assessment in youth and adolescent trauma. There are many issues that are important to evaluating children and adolescents, and it is increasingly clear that reliance on just one type of assessment does not provide the most accurate results. From history to recent advances, this book covers a wide range of methods and measures for assessing trauma, including case examples to illustrate the integration of these different facets. Altogether, the broad scope and inclusive depth of this work make it an essential addition to the field of trauma assessment.
