The importance of developmental experiences in the onset of criminal behaviour

 👮 It has long been debated why some individuals develop criminal behaviour. Researchers investigate various factors that would help to prevent future crimes. Most researchers agree that developmental experiences are crucial for future well-being. In other words, what we experience during childhood can influence what person we will become later. Developmental perspective has become one of influential theories in explaining criminal behaviour. Theories suggest that criminal behaviour is influenced by early experiences. The following essay will explore the role of developmental experiences in the onset of criminal behaviour. Epistemological belief is that we, humans are born with no inbuilt knowledge and all is delivered by experiences or senses, allude to blank state or tabula rasa. Newborns are dependent on parents providing care. Parents also provide shelter from stress and regulate behaviour (Hofer, 2006). If parents do not protect children from stressors or fail to regulate the...

The meaning and importance of resilience in developmental psychology and what are the main factors that enhance resilience

  “I am not what happened to me I am what I choose to become.” -Carl Gustav Jung   The aim of this essay is to discuss the meaning and importance of resilience in developmental psychology and what are the main factors that enhance resilience. In psychological context resilience (Latin resilire – leap back) is a process of, or outcome adaptation despite threatening circumstances (Masten et al, 1990). In other words it is a capacity to adapt well when facing traumatic events, threats or stress. The estimation of resilience requires disruptive and challenging circumstances that imperil positive adaptation (Masten et al, 1990). However some children develop positive adaptation despite violence, poverty or other stressors in their environment. Researchers have described resilience as adaptation to changing events (Block and Block, 1980), as resistance to psychosocial threat experience (Rutter, 1999), vigorous coping with trauma (North et al, 2012), ability to bounce back from adver...

Vaikai ir išmanieji

Yra daugybė atliktų tyrimų, patvirtinančių smart telefonų žalą vaikams. Horowitz-Kraus ir Hutton.,2 017 – Smegen ų jungiamumas padidėja skaitant knygas, ir sumažėja naudojant išmaniuosius įrenginius. Išmanieji telefonai/įrenginiai neigiamai veikia vaiko kognityvines funkcijas, kalbą ir elgesį. Kuo ilgiau vaikas praleidžia socialiniuose tinkluose tuo didėja rizika psichinėms problemos, padidėja savižudybių rizika. Vaikui socialiniuose tinkluose praleidžiant iki valandos, įtaka savižudybių rizikai nepastebėta arba labai minimali, tačiau praleidžiant 4-5 valandas ir daugiau savižudybių rizika padidėja net iki 50%. Šie rezultatai iš didžiausios apimties – 500 000 populiacijos 12-19 m. vaikų. Klaidingas mitas manyti,kad socialiniai tinklai padeda vaikams bendrauti. Tiesa ta,kad socialiniai tinklai kaip tik sukelia vienišumo pojūtį (MacDonald., 2021). Daugybė studijų atrado teigiamą koreliaciją tarp vienišumo ir naudojimosi išmaniaisiais telefonais (Saggu., 2024.,...

Reaction Time for Detection of Object in Visual Search

  Reaction Time for Detection of Object in Visual Search Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate reaction time in visual search. 39 participants performed a reaction time test in different conditions, within different colours of letters and different number of letters. Based on previous research the hypothesis was supported, that there was significant difference in condition of number of letters. However, there was no significant difference found between one and five letters. Introduction Visual search is a process that requires attention and perception to detect particular object in environment. We use visual search in our everyday life such as when we go shopping and looking for certain items, when we are looking for our friends in a crowd. Treisman et al (1977) introduced a feature integration theory of attention that suggested that in perception features come first. According to this proposed model, features are registered automatically and early, object are identified...
