A thorough re-examination of Obedience to Authority (Milgram, 1974), a seminal work, is warranted from both a historical and moral standpoint. Stanley Milgram originally reported his findings in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology in 1963, stating that 65% of gullible subjects were coerced into giving an individual deadly electrical shock after they provided wrong responses in a memory learning experiment. What is the experiment about? In 1960s, Stanley Milgram, who was working at Yale University as a psychologist, carried out a number of obedience tests, which produced some unexpected results. Participants in the research were given orders ... Read More

Do you ever wonder how media influences your choices and decisions? Is it only media that influences you as the audience, or do you, as the audience, shape what media portrays as well? Using the effects of transition and active audience in media studies, a better understanding of these questions is done. What is Effects Tradition and Active Traditions? The notion that media can sway and mold its audience's attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors are referred to as the effects of tradition in media studies. This viewpoint contends that media can directly influence how people think and behave and ... Read More

Neurobehavioural Development in Infancy

Utkarsh Shukla
Updated on 10-May-2023 11:11:15
Infant neurobehavior and development comprise behaviours produced by neurophysiological and psychological processes that mediate babies' internal processes and interactions with the outside environment. Neurobehavior should ideally develop adaptability within circumstances that challenge babies daily. We begin with a very restricted description of neurobehavior, followed by the argument that understanding neurobehavioral development requires a larger biosocial perspective. Although this may surprise some readers, we contend that neurobehavior is not self-contained, predetermined, or simply unfolding under the supervision of genetic maturational processes. We consider neurobehavior integrated into constant, bidirectional, dynamic regulation interactions between babies and carers. Infant Neurobehavioural Capacities In ... Read More

In the United States, unintentional injuries represent a substantial concern to the health of children and adolescents. Even though children have a low baseline prevalence of significant injuries, they are more sensitive to accidental or unintentional injuries than to any other environmental hazard. Every year, between 20 and 25 percent of all children have an accident that necessitates medical treatment, missed school, and bed rest. Unintentional Injuries Unintentional injuries are the most significant cause of mortality for those aged one to twenty-one. An injury causes around one in every 17 fatalities in the general population in the United ... Read More

How to Understand Child's Temperament?

Utkarsh Shukla
Updated on 10-May-2023 10:40:39
The behavioral style of every individual varies and it can be noticed during the early childhood itself. Such individualistic behavioural style is customarily referred to as temperament. Individual differences, which are thought to be focused on the "how" rather than the "what" or "why" of behavior, are commonly regarded to be biologically based, largely stable across contexts and time, and impacted in their expression by environmental influences. Furthermore, human temperament has been discussed since Hippocrates (460 BCE), who believed temperament was influenced by the preponderance of four body humor: yellow bile, blood, black bile, and phlegm. The work ... Read More

Cognitive Development in Adolescence

Humans are a highly sociable species. We continuously read one other's behaviours, gestures, and faces regarding underlying mental states and emotions, and try to figure out what others are thinking and feeling and what they are about to do next. This is referred to as the theory of mind or mentalizing. The ability to understand the mental states of others develops throughout the first four or five years of life, according to developmental psychology research on the theory of mind. While specific components of the theory of mind are evident in infancy, it is not until about the ... Read More

Social Cognition: Development in Early Childhood

Utkarsh Shukla
Updated on 10-May-2023 10:36:54
Human social cognition is very complicated. Unlike other mammals, which essentially respond to one another's outward behavioural cues, we dig deeper into our other's thoughts to comprehend one another. For example, suppose we see a stranger bursting into a loud song on a crowded street. In that case, she is smiling and acting exuberantly on the outside. However, our initial reaction will be understanding her unexpected actions by thinking about what is going on within her thoughts. She could wish to convey a message. She may believe this is an excellent approach to landing a recording deal. Maybe ... Read More

Most of us grow up with siblings, and the sibling bond is the most likely to survive our entire lives. How crucial are siblings as influences on our development? Clinicians and family therapists have long claimed that siblings play an essential and influential role in children's development. However, comprehensive research on sibling impact was limited until the previous two decades. What has a recent study revealed about the elements that influence how siblings interact with one another? Is there any consistency in the friendliness or enmity between siblings throughout time? What is the evidence regarding sibling influence on ... Read More

Promoting Infant Mental Health

Updated on 10-May-2023 10:24:02
Infant mental health is more than just the absence of mental disease, a definition challenging to apply to newborns. Instead, mental health is a comprehensive assessment of an infant's abilities, encompassing development, learning, and relationships. It is difficult for a newborn to envisage a situation where only one is encouraged without serving others. Although physically reliant on its carers, the newborn has a biological urge and can react to and engage with other persons. It is now apparent that this process impacts not just the infant's learning and emotional ability but also the brain's architecture, with long-term consequences ... Read More

Promoting Children's Health and Well-Being

Updated on 10-May-2023 10:14:49
According to community polls, psychological issues in children and adolescents are common and can considerably affect daily functioning. Issues continue if addressed, increasing the probability of psychological issues in maturity. Improving children's mental health is an important public health goal, and while effective therapies are available, most children, particularly those with emotional illnesses, go unrecognised and untreated. Focusing on treating existing disorders will thus have a limited influence on children's psychological health. Prevention is an alternative method to minimise the prevalence of psychological issues and illnesses while optimising psychological well-being. This can be accomplished by implementing initiatives to ... Read More
