Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders present with various behavior challenges (Ludlow, Skelly & Rohleder, n.d.).

This behavior entails the repetitive body movements. The self-stimulatory behavior in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder is related with various senses. Some of the senses highlighted by Edelson (2017) include visual senses such as hand-flapping repetitive blinking, and staring at lights. The self-stimulatory behavior involving the auditory senses include the snapping of fingers and the tapping of the fingers. Others senses that are related ...

Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Preamble

Autism Speaks (2012) argues that autism spectrum disorders are not the causes of the challenging behaviors that are witnessed in children diagnosed with the disorders. Instead, the biological processes that cause the disorders also cause the challenging behaviors. Whether there are divergent perspectives can be determined by reviewing literature on the subject. The following is an annotated bibliography with the sources that offer insight on why individuals with autism spectrum disorder engage in challenging behavior. Connie, A. (2011).

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

In the 1970s, domestic violence came into view when feminist groups revealed the complicity in women to be compliant, even with men lifting their hand against them. Women who were maltreated were given refuge under the women’s movement, while health and social workers were being trained on how to handle women who were maltreated. By the 1980s, international organizations had declarations defining violence against women and children as “an unacceptable violation of human rights [and] a source of tragic consequences” (Romito, 2008, p.1). This, however, may have proven to be fragile, especially in certain parts of Europe wherein ...

Exploring High Self-Esteem and Narcissism as Contributors of Aggressive Tendencies: an Argument against the Low Self-Esteem Hypothesis

Literature Review Introduction There are relevant themes in the current literature that relate to the argument presented in this position paper. Many of these themes have focused on supporting the high self-esteem hypothesis, which holds that highly favorable self-appraisals cause aggression and make people more prone to acts of aggression. The results and findings of several research studies conducted with the purpose of supporting the so called high self-esteem hypothesis have actually been successful in providing evidence in favor of the view that it is actually high levels of self-esteem that increase an individual’s proneness to aggressive tendencies ( ...

Abstract

Domestic violence is a worldwide issue. In 1993, the United Nations General Assembly created a declaration to help eliminate violence against women. Since then, ample research has been conducted on both the effects and individuals who conduct domestic violence. Over the years, researchers have discovered that certain personality traits that become apparent in childhood are also apparent in perpetrators of domestic violence. These studies suggest that children and adolescents who display these personality traits should be placed in early intervention treatment in order to limit the likelihood of domestic violence abuse during adulthood. The following discusses five different personality ...

Quasi-experiments are research designs that attempt to mimic an experimental design. However, the researcher cannot control the assignment of study participants to groups: a key feature for true experiments (Wadsworth, n.d.). This paper explores quasi-experiments as a research design.

Part 1

Advantages of Quasi-experiments Firstly, quasi-experiments, as the name suggests, are not true experiments. They contain elements of both a true experimental and correlational research (Jackson, 2012). Therefore, they allow the researcher to obtain stronger conclusion compared to when they conduct a pure correlational research. Secondly, quasi-experiments are useful in circumstances when conducting a true experiment is either infeasible or very ...

Therefore, researchers studied the role of prior knowledge and its importance in comprehending the present information. They were trying to show that prior knowledge is not only involved in comprehension but is also necessary for the meaningful information. They also studied the effect of prior knowledge on subjects by ...

Introduction

Since the dawn of media evolution, psychologists, parents, teachers and health specialists have shown concerns about the harmful influence of media violence, mainly on children. The legitimacy of that apprehension is supported by extensive scientific research that has been done.

Nature or nurture is an eternal debate among psychologists. It is rather complicated to define one exact side of the case as mostly one’s aggressive behavior is caused both by the genetic inheritance and environment and background the person came from. To my mind, the role of nature is evident as people get certain genetic information from the very birth and some of the reactions can be easily transmitted from parent to child. Nonetheless, the majority of the information, rules and conditions of the world, children get from parents, copying the behavior. In this regard, I assume that ...

Consciously or subconsciously, children tend to imitate behaviors, by inculcating to their own personalities features “borrowed” from the ones they identify as models. Such models can be their parents or relatives, either characters they see on TV or on video games. Children’s exposure to violent TV programs or video games may influence their behavior and personalities, making children more aggressive.

Watching violent programs on TV on a regular basis may create the idea for children that violence is a normal behavior and attitude and a viable solution for solving problems (“Children and TV Violence”). Moreover, because childhood represents a sensitive period, ...
