Relational Aggression In School

     Lifestyles also play an important part in youth violence. Growing up in a divorced family as well as the way your parents raised you are major aspects that effect youth today. When children go through a divorce they experience tremendous pain and go through a lot of changes in their life.(chapter 9 impact of divorce) They experience behavioral problems, and less academic achievements. Adolescents in this stage can also experience aggression toward their parents as well as their friends and other family members due to the divorce. Every parent had there own parenting styles of raising their kids, however, some ways can lead to corrupt behavior. There are the authoritative parents whose children tend to be moody, aggressive, and have poor communication skills. Then there are the permissive and authoritative parents who are generally caring and sensitive towards their children.(chapter 9 parenting styles) Studies have shown that if you grow up in a family that shows aggression towards one another, then it is more likely that you as a young adult will be aggressive as well. However in recent studies,

There are many instances where incivility occurs at school or work. An example can be if someone doesn’t thank you for opening the door for them. I observed an uncivil matter at school when several students were busy texting during class and not paying attention to the lecture given. The teacher gave the students a warning by giving them the opportunity to put up the phone. However, the students refused to listen and appropriate discipline was taken. This was a cause of incivility since the teacher was wasting her time while their phones were distracting them from focusing.

Everyone experience certain level of hostility, but most do not live with the anticipatory fear of pain and humiliation caused by the repeated aggression that characterizes bullying. Predatory individuals seek power and control over others, but carefully aggress against the most vulnerable victim repeatedly over time (Mah, 2009, pp.12-13). There are two types three types of bullies; the aggressive, follower, and the relational bully. Aggressive bullies overt aggression either physical or verbal as well as threats and intimidation. The follower is less likely to begin bullying, but is motivated to follow because the aggressive bully if the act of bullying is rewarded. Finally, the relational bully uses indirect forms of violence to inflict

First, individual strategies that can be implemented by youth is important. This is essential because youth often know the reasons they participate in school related violence. What the experience as young adults increases the likelihood of becoming involved in violence. Issues such as bullying, discrimination or poor family support are some reasons. Offering school-based prevention programs keeps have been proven to reduce rates of aggression and violent behavior among students (CDC, 2014). Programs

I would tell my friend Rene about “Parent’s approach to discipline is crucial”. When parents use physical force or social and emotional manipulation to control there children it only makes them more aggressive. Children who experience heavy doses of such such parenting are more likely to be aggressive. “Another aspect of parental behavior that is linked to aggression is monitoring, which refers to parents’ knowledge of where their children are, what are they doing, and who they're with”(p.g 372). So when you don’t monitor your children they will become aggressive. So far childern's aggression are linked when the parents are begin physcial with them. I would also tell my friend about my experence. When my sister becomes physcial with her son

Having many social connections provides many opportunities for indirect aggression. This can be done through gossiping or the specific intention of spreading rumors. Researchers found that network density, or the amount of connections among the people in an individual’s social connections, provide indirect aggression due to the more connections, the denser the network. This is because being the social connections is closely knit together; directional behavior would be frowned upon. Researchers hypothesized that people with a closer connection with each other would show more indirect aggression, where in fact, people with a tight connection, but did not know each other well had more results of indirect aggression.

Aggression can be found in children for a number of reasons. Those reasons can be because of the way they are brought up or the surroundings of their home or environment. In a study done by Lansford et. al. (2012) they examined if relational and physical aggressions in children are similar across different countries. Secondly, they addressed if there were gender differences in children’s relational and physical aggression. The nine countries they used for this study were China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand and the United States. The study began with children ranging in age from 7 to 10 years old from 1,410 families in all nine countries to answer questions about their relational and physical aggression.

Relation aggression has a negative affect toward the victim. This type of aggression have mental and physical affects. Also, it can cause children more susceptible to increased anxiety and depression. Kids who are bullied are also at an increased risk for suicide, being antisocial, and to be involved with criminal behavior.

B. Thesis: Teenagers are affected by bad parenting for a lifetime from their unpredictable and chaotic actions which can later cause them to develop aggressive behavior.

Incivility is defined as, any type of disruptive classroom behavior that shows disrespect or a disregard for the instructor and fellow-students. There are many different uncivil actions that can take place in a college setting. Some being more serious than others, but ranking any type of behavior is subjective to the professor and the peers enrolled in that specific course. Teachers create a syllabus touching on classroom rules and behaviors that are expected throughout the semester. Technology, mostly cell phone and laptop use in the classroom-becoming commonplace, there is almost always a section dedicated to this topic.

However, due to self-reported data overall results may vary (Carlo, Laible, Meyer, & Raffaelli, 1999). There is also findings that females are more relationally aggressive, which doesn’t connect with parental involvement or sympathy (Carlo, Laible, Meyer, & Raffaelli, 1999). In children, relational aggression have been linked to being ostracized by peers and feeling unhappy (Burton, Hafetz, & Henninger, 2007). With parental involvement, instilling sympathy into children may help with future physical encounters of aggression (Carlo, Laible, Meyer, & Raffaelli,

Instead of saying that this child engages in aggressive behavior toward peers because he has anger issues, a behavioral analysis of such incidents might possibly ascribe such to the purpose or function the overt behavior serves in that child’s environment . Through the sessions I noted that his behaviour could be due to his lack of understanding. I saw through teaching English lessons and math classes that he had difficulty with understanding the concepts and he took time to grasp them. He seemed ashamed of himself. It was then I understood too that the deviant and aggressive behaviour stemmed due to the teacher ridiculing him during classes, his classmates teasing him and his parents forcing him and expecting too much of him, without knowing that he needed extra help with lessons.

Reactive aggression which is often angry and emotionally dysregulated quality, one could expect, more so than proactive aggression, would elicit greater negative reactions from peers (i.e., peer rejection, low peer acceptance, lack of friends, and victimization; e.g., Dodge et al., 1990; Perry, Perry, & Kennedy, 1992; Schwartz et al., 1998). The resulting quality of the child’s peer relations would further contribute to his or her psychological maladjustment (Parker & Asher,

Social interaction theory provides an explanation of aggressive acts motivated by higher lever (or ultimate) goals. Even hostile aggression might have some rational goal behind it, such as punishing the provocateur in order to reduce the likelihood of future provocations. This theory provides an excellent way to understand recent findings that aggression to unwarranted high esteem (eg narcissism).

Exposure to marital conflict and violence is linked with negative emotional and behavioral problems among children. It is well established that the effects are unfortunate in children’s development. Internalizing (emotional) and externalizing (behavioral) symptoms are common for children who come from homes with marital conflict and violence. Along with both symptoms poor academic conduct is also huge issue. Emery (1982, cited in Glaser, Glass, Horne, & Marks, 2001) states conflict that is openly hostile is characterized as the most upsetting. Conflicts without resolution have the greatest negative impact and leave long term and short term
