Action cartoons and the effect on children's aggressive behavior

Cartoons present a unique attraction for children, and the action genre is one of the television programs that primarily broadcast. Children observe characters in action cartoons and repeat what they see or hear. This study aims to determine whether the effect of aggressive behavior in children when watching action cartoons. The research approach is quantitative. The subject was 12 children aged 5-6 years in the Doa Ibu Kindergarten, Makasar. The researcher used data collection techniques in descriptive statistical analysis and Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis. The results showed a positive relationship between watching action cartoons and aggressive behavior of children aged 5-6 years and included in the category of moderately influential. To reduce these effects, interventions that must be carried out need to be studied further.

Analysis of Aggressive Behavior in High School Students in The City of Pekanbaru

Aggressive behavior is the fourth leading cause of adolescent death in 2016 (Enopadria, 2018). The effects of aggressive behavior on adolescents include physical injuries, psychological injuries and social injuries. This aggressive behavior is not only in the form of physical aggression but can manifest in other forms such as angry behavior, verbal aggression, and show hostility to others (Hardoni, 2019). The purpose of this study is to analyze the aggressive behavior that occurs in adolescents, especially high school students in the Pekanbaru city. The population in this study were high school students in the city of Pekanbaru. The number of samples of this study were 904 adolescents. The sample technique used is accidental sampling. The research instrument uses the Brief Aggression Questionnaire. The results of a study conducted in 2020 on high school students in Pekanbaru city about aggressive behavior were 42.1% of adolescents showing low aggressive behavior, while another 57.9% showed high aggressive behavior. It is expected that educational sites will activate the PIK-R program at school because this program is expected to be one of the platforms to suppress aggressive behavior that can occur in adolescents or students in Pekanbaru and its surroundings.

The effectiveness of psychological interventions for aggressive behavior following acquired brain injury: Ameta-analysis and systematic review.

The consequences of aggressive behavior following ABI have an impact at both an individual and systemic level. In contrast to other ABI sequelae, aggressive behavior has been shown to increase over time without appropriate timely interventions. The current meta-analysis aimed to systematically review the current literature examining psychological interventions for aggressive behavior following ABI. The meta-analysis also aimed to provide a statistical synthesis of the available evidence. Following the PRISMA guidelines, an electronic and ancestral search of the available literature identified eleven studies (N = 123) that met the inclusion criteria for the review. Non-overlap effect sizes (Tau-U) were calculated to synthesize the available evidence from single case experimental design studies (SCEDs; N = 7). Standardized mean difference effect sizes (d) were calculated to synthesize the available evidence from group studies (N = 4). A medium omnibus effect size (weighted d = -0.46, 95% CI: -0.69 <> -0.24) was found for group studies. Similarly, the overall effect size (Tau-U) for SCEDs was -0.59 (95% CI: -0.72 <> -0.46), indicating a 59% reduction in aggressive behaviour compared to baseline. The findings of the meta-analysis suggest that psychological interventions for aggressive behavior are at least moderately effective at reducing aggressive behavior following ABI.

Aggression in fragile X syndrome.

Individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS), especially men, have long been described as presenting with significant behavioural challenges. Despite this known aspect of the phenotype, there has been little research exploring the prevalence, frequency, nature or consequences of aggressive behaviour in FXS. This study used survey methodology to gather caregiver reports on the types, frequency and severity of aggressive behaviour in 774 individuals with FXS. Based on caregiver report, nearly all (>90%) male and female individuals were reported to have engaged in some aggression over the previous 12 months, with a third of male cases and slightly fewer than 20% of female cases being described as engaging in moderate to severe aggression or being diagnosed or treated for aggression. Further, aggressive behaviours in male individuals were serious enough that 30% had caused injuries to caregivers and 22% had caused injuries to peers or friends. Sensory issues and hyperactivity were significant predictors of the frequency of aggressive acts, while sensory issues and anxiety were predictive of the severity of aggression. Traditional behaviour management techniques as well as medication was described as the most common and successful treatment options. Aggressive behaviours are a significant concern for a subsample of both male and female individuals with FXS. Given that sensory concerns were predictive of both the frequency and the severity of aggression suggests these behaviours may be a reactive means of escaping uncomfortable situations.

Assessing Effectiveness of Aggression Replacement Training at a Technical College in Thailand

Youth violence is a significant public health issue in Thailand where most people who are injured are vocational college students. There is a need to identify methods whereby such violence can be prevented. We trialed a group program in a technical college in Thailand with 23 students who received a modified version of aggression replacement training. We then compared their results with those of 24 students who did not receive any intervention or preintervention at 1 and 3 month followups. Although we found little evidence supporting the effectiveness of the intervention, participants in the intervention group suggested in the followup in-depth interviews that they felt more able to avoid or ignore provocation, and that they thought more about the consequences of aggressive behavior than they did prior to the intervention.

Aggression and violence against health care workers in Germany - a cross sectional retrospective survey

BackgroundAlthough international scientific research on health issues has been dealing with the problem of aggression and violence towards those employed in health care, research activities in Germany are still at an early stage. In view of this, the aim of this study was to examine the frequency and consequences of aggressive behaviour towards nurses and health care workers in different health sectors in Germany and to assess the need for preventive measures.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional retrospective survey. Nurses and health care workers from two nursing homes, a psychiatric clinic and a workshop for people with disabilities were interviewed using a standardised questionnaire. The sample covered 123 individuals (response rate 38.8%). The survey assessed the frequency, the type and the consequences of aggressive behaviour, and social support in connection with coping with aggression in the workplace. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for putative risk factors which may influence the stress induced by aggression at the workplace were calculated using conditional logistic regression.ResultsDuring the previous twelve months 70.7% of the respondents experienced physical and 89.4% verbal aggression. Physical aggression more frequently occurred in nursing homes (83.9% of the employees) and verbal aggression was more common in the psychiatric clinic (96.7% of the employees). The proportion of the individuals affected in the workshop for people with disabilities was lower (41.9% and 77.4% respectively). The incidents impaired the physical (55%) and emotional well-being (77.2%) of the employees. The frequency of incidents (weekly: OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.1-6.4) combined with the lack of social support (OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.2-6.6) increased the probability of higher stress due to aggression.ConclusionsThis study corroborates previous reports of frequent physical and verbal aggression towards care workers in the various areas of health care. The present study highlights differences between various areas of health care in Germany and the aggravating effect of prevention neglect such as missing social support at the workplace. Therefore our data suggest the need for improved target group specific prevention of aggressive incidents towards care workers and the need for effective aftercare in Germany.

Consequences of Aggressive Behavior in Patients With Dementia

This study examined aggression as a predictor of nursing-home placement, injuries, use of restraints, and use of health services in community-dwelling patients with newly diagnosed dementia. Participants were identified from 2001-2004 Veterans Administration databases; all had a new diagnosis of dementia and no aggression. Patients and caregivers were evaluated for aggression, using the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory-aggression subscale, and other outcomes for 2 years, with outcome rates compared between patients who did or did not develop aggression and between pre- and postaggressive periods. Of 215 patients, 88 became aggressive, associated with significantly increased use of psychotropic medication (p< or =0.04), injuries (p< or =0.0001), and nursing-home placement (p< or =0.004).

Aggressive behaviour in adolescent psychiatric settings: what are risk factors, possible interventions and implications for nursing practice? A literature review

This study was aimed to identify the risk factors of aggressive behaviour in adolescents (1318 years), and to describe available intervention strategies. The findings are evaluated on the basis of their implications for nursing practice. Aggressive behaviour in adolescent psychiatric settings is a neglected research area. The consequences of aggressive behaviour on nurses, other patients and the therapeutic environment can be profound. For the development and implementation of innovative intervention strategies aimed at preventing aggressive behaviour in adolescent psychiatric patients, knowledge of risk factors and evidence-based interventions for aggressive behaviour are of the utmost importance. A systematic search of PubMed, Cinahl, PsychINFO and Cochrane Systematic Reviews (19912007) was employed. The risk factors for aggressive behaviour comprise personal and environmental risk factors. Some risk factors can be influenced by nursing intervention strategies. Available intervention programmes range from interpersonal skills training to massage therapy, parent management training, functional family therapy and multi-systemic therapy. The most effective programmes combine interpersonal skills training with parent management training. No specific nursing intervention programmes were found for dealing with aggressive behaviour in adolescent patients. Nursing staff can assist in achieving a systematic improvement in the treatment outcomes of existing intervention programmes for the prevention of aggression. There is a need for specific nursing intervention programmes to deal with aggressive behaviour in adolescent psychiatric settings.

The Developmental Trend of Mutual Friendship and the Prospective Effect of Aggressive Behavior: A Three-year Longitudinal Study

A great deal of research documents the importance of relationships such as mutual friends for a child's development and the importance of negative behaviors such as aggression for a child's maladjustment.However,previous research on peer relations,especially in China,has been limited in two crucial ways:(1)most of the studies have employed cross-sectional designs,which precludes directly examining developmental changes;and(2)few studies have analyzed for influences between friendships and aggression.The present research investigated developmental trends and individual differences for children's mutual friendship and explored the longitudinal effects of aggressive behavior on children's mutual friendships.Data were collected for 285 students from Grade 3 and Grade 4 in June of 2002,2003 and 2004.Measures included(1)Friendship Nominations,from which we determined each child's number of mutual friends with boys and with girls;and(2)peer nominations for overt aggression and relational aggression behaviors,using the Revised Class Play procedure.The present study employed Hierarchical Linear Model to analyze the longitudinal data.In terms of friendships,results indicated that,as expected,the number of mutual friends increased over time and children had more same sex mutual friends than opposite sex mutual friends.This same sex preference increased more for girls than for boys.For girls,having more mutual friends at the first assessment predicted a faster rate of accumulating mutual friends during the three years.After controlling for the effect of relational aggression,overt aggression had a significantly negative effect on the number of children's mutual friends at each time of testing for girls but not for boys.After controlling for the effect of overt aggression,relational aggression had a significantly positive effect on children's number of mutual friends for girls at each time of testing,but not for boys These findings confirm an increase of mutual friends over time as well indicate a strong gender segregation in children's friendships.Also,aggressive behaviors were not necessarily associated with maladjustment,in that friendships were not negatively affected for children who exhibited gender normative aggressive behaviors.

The relationships between stocking density and welfare in farmed rainbow trout

There is increasing public, governmental and commercial interest in the welfare of intensively farmed fish and stocking density has been highlighted as an area of particular concern. Here we draw scientific attention and debate to this emerging research field by reviewing the evidence for effects of density on rainbow trout. Although no explicit reference to ‘welfare’ has been made, there are 43 studies which have examined the effects of density on production and physiological parameters of rainbow trout. Increasing stocking density does not appear to cause prolonged crowding stress in rainbow trout. However, commonly reported effects of increasing density are reductions in food conversion efficiency, nutritional condition and growth, and an increase in fin erosion. Such changes are indicative of a reduced welfare status—although the magnitude of the effects has tended to be dependent upon study‐specific conditions. Systematic observations on large scale commercial farms are therefore required, rather than extrapolation of these mainly small‐scale experimental findings. There is dispute as to the cause of the observed effects of increasing density, with water quality deterioration and/or an increase in aggressive behaviour being variously proposed. Both causes can theoretically generate the observed effects of increasing density, and the relative contribution of the two causes may depend upon the specific conditions. However, documentation of the relationship between density and the effects of aggressive behaviour at relevant commercial densities is lacking. Consequently only inferential evidence exists that aggressive behaviour generates the observed effects of increasing density, whereas there is direct experimental evidence that water quality degradation is responsible. Nevertheless, there are contradictory recommendations in the literature for key water quality parameters to ensure adequate welfare status. The potential for welfare to be detrimentally affected by non‐aggressive behavioural interactions (abrasion, collision, obstruction) and low densities (due to excessive aggressive behaviour and a poor feeding response) have been largely overlooked. Legislation directly limiting stocking density is likely to be unworkable, and a more practical option might be to prescribe acceptable levels of water quality, health, nutritional condition and behavioural indicators.

Effects of aggressive behaviour and group size on collective escape in an emergency: a test between a social identity model and deindividuation theory.

This study models escape behaviour in emergency situations and compares the ability of deindividuation and social identity-based explanations in particular to account for responses. According to deindividuation theory, the larger the group, the higher the degree of anonymity and the stronger antisocial responses such as competitiveness will be. Moreover, the competition for escape should be more severe, and the escape rate lowered, in a large group, regardless of whether participants have an aggressive option. A social identity model predicts that when group members have an option of aggressive behaviour, the salience of the aggressive norm in a larger group will be stronger than that in a smaller group. In contrast, when participants only have concessive option, the salience of the non-aggressive norm in a large group is expected to be stronger than that in a small group. The results of Study 1 supported the social identity model. Study 2 tested how participants responded to their norm. The social identity model suggests a more conscious and socially regulated process whereas deindividuation theory implies an unconscious or unregulated process. The results showed that what directly affects norm formation is the density of stimulus, that is, the amount of aggression received from others and of others' escape activity divided by group size. The results suggest the conscious process of the norm formation and support the social identity model.

Effects of aggressive behavior and perceived self-efficacy on burnout among staff of homes for the elderly.

This study elicits effects of experienced aggressive behavior and perceived self-efficacy in coping with aggressive behavior on the dimensions of burnout of staff caring for the elderly (N = 551). From the results of the hierarchical regression analysis it appears that physical and psychological aggression and the number of weekly working hours has an effect on emotional exhaustion of staff. Psychological aggression is found to have an effect on depersonalization. The number of weekly working hours and the perceived self-efficacy in turn appear to have an effect on personal accomplishment. Neither sex nor age has an effect on the burnout dimensions. Implications for research and suggestions for work and training of staff caring for the elderly are discussed.

Changed count of CD4+ T-lymphocytes in the bone marrow of aggressive CBA mice

Enhanced immune response of aggressive CBA mice after 10 daily confrontations in sensory contact on day 4 after immunization with sheep red blood cells (5×108) is paralleled by an increase in the count of CD4+ T-cells in the bone marrow. Aggressive behavior, weight of the spleen, and count of CD4+ T-helpers in the bone marrow (which is increased only in aggressors with a history of at least 3 victories) are correlated. The effect of aggressive behavior on immunity can be caused by changes of the neurochemical status of the brain and determined by an increase in the CD4+ T-helper count.

Predictors and Consequences of Aggressive Behavior by Community-Based Dementia Patients

The frequency, nature, context, and caregivers' reactions to aggressive behavior in 213 dementia patients residing in the community was studied. Aggression was reported in 57.2% of the patients and in 10.6% of the caregivers. Predictors of patient aggression were greater frequency of behavior and memory problems, premorbid aggression, and a more troubled premorbid social relationship between patient and caregiver. Patient aggression predicted the decision to discontinue home care.

Some consequences of aggressive behavior: A selective review of the literature on other animals

Animal experiments in which the opportunity to aggress was positively reinforcing are surveyed, with attention paid to field and laboratory reports on play and play fighting. A distinction is drawn between ways in which aggressive behavior may be elicited and factors which increase or decrease the probability that aggression will be emitted. Since aggression may be emitted and may also be reinforcing, the possibility that aggressive behavior may be self-reinforcing is mentioned. In addition to positive reinforcement, consequences of aggressive behavior are presented. These include punishment, removal of a noxious stimulus, feeding, arousal, and disinhibition.

Effects of Aggressive Behavior on the Adrenal Cortex in Male Laboratory Mice

Grouped laboratory mice (Mus musculus) show higher adrenocortical function than isolates, and this is usually attributed to the occurrence of aggressive behavior in such groups. the present experiment compares the effects of controlled bouts of fighting on adrenocortical function in trained fighter and defeated male mice. the results revealed increased adrenal function (compared with isolated controls) only in the latter condition; it is therefore concluded that success in aggressive encounters, in contrast to defeat, does not contribute to the increased adrenocortical function found in grouped mice.

AN ANALYSIS OF AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR, GROWTH, AND COMPETITION FOR FOOD AND SPACE IN MEDAKA (ORYZIAS LATIPES (PISCES, CYPRINODONTIDAE))

The role and consequences of aggressive behavior in competition for food and space were studied among laboratory populations of juvenile medaka. Growth rate, used to measure the success of an individual fish in different competitive situations, was followed for 648 fish in populations of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 fish in 1-, 4-, or 8-liter baskets.Aggressive behavior was initiated by internal state of "hunger" and the presence of food stimuli and smaller medaka. Aggression was at a low level when food was supplied in excess and large fish had no competitive advantage over small fish. Reducing the amount of space from 1 to 1/16 liter per fish did not alter the growth consequences of competition as long as the accumulation of waste products was prevented and food was supplied in excess.When food supply was limited, large medaka were socially dominant, chased small fish away from food, and grew faster than small fish. If food was spatially localized the social hierarchical societies changed into territorial societies in which the dominant defended the food area, but aggression only dispersed the subordinates throughout the habitat when food was evenly distributed. The advantage of social dominance was less if population size was large, if food was evenly distributed, and visual isolation between competitors was great. The advantage was high if food was contagiously distributed and visual isolation between competitors was great.
