write down why you think some children become violent
Answers
Explanation:
Many aggressive children and adolescents have grown up in violent homes and neighborhoods (environmental factors), but some became violent for other reasons, such as the student shootings at Columbine High School and other schools. Studies on the causes of aggression in children and adolescents have reported that in general there is no one single cause of aggression.
When this study was started, the focus in the aggression literature was on the environmental causes/risk factors of aggression, with little emphasis on psychological and personality traits. This study attempts to delve into some of these issues while also revisiting the environmental factors as a cause of aggression and violence.
Findings
The seven-year study showed that two characteristics strongly predicted the development of aggression: 1) physical punishment/ aggression by parents against the children, and 2) inhibited temperament of the child (child withdraws from unfamiliar situations, people, or environments).
The most powerful factor was parents’ physical punishment and violence in the home. Inhibited temperament was the only personality characteristic that predicted aggression, which suggests possible connections with the isolated, alienated children and adolescents who have committed school attacks. The important factors for predicting aggression seemed to be fearfulness in general and apprehension/lack of confidence about school, not simple shyness. Inhibited children in this study were characterized as socially withdrawn, uncomfortable or distressed in new situations, and anxious about making new friends or trying new activities. Inhibited children may react to problems with peers and schools by making negative attributions against others, which makes acting aggressively towards others more likely.
