Document Summary
Moral development: affective, cognitive and behavioural components. Theories of moral development (not on exam) Range of behaviour that result in both physical and psychological harm to oneself, other or objects in the environment. Harm is means to an end (access to objects, space or privileges) Aggression is a fairly stable attribute: high levels of aggression in toddlerhood predict delinquency in adulthood. Why is it stable: genetic dispositions, parenting influences, coercive home environments. Corporal punishments, home that are not warm or fuzzy: cultural influences. Bullying: unwanted, aggressive behaviour among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. 17% are bullied and 19% bully ( 6% do both) Boys are physically bulled; girls are verbally bullied (relational bullies) Children with exceptionalities are more likely to be victimized: gifted children, children with learning disabilities experience more victimization their peers, obese children experience more victimization than their average weight peers.
