Abstract:RESUMEN: Se exploró la relación entre factores psicosociales del contexto y el afrontamiento de conflictos en edad escolar. Una muestra de 378 niños (158 niños y 220 niñas) residentes en Barranquilla (Colombia), respondieron a un videojuego que simula situaciones de conflicto. El sexo fue determinante en el afrontamiento y en la expectativa sobre los pares y los adultos como sancionadores, neutrales o legitimadores de la violencia. El barrio y la televisión fueron los escenarios donde los niños observan más vi… Show more
“…Another significant predictor of aggression was moral disengagement, coinciding with previous studies [ 4 , 9 , 38 , 80 , 81 ]. Most acts of human cruelty are the product of a deliberative conscience, in which the person engages in aggressive or malicious behaviors, justifying their actions to reduce feelings of guilt and self-concept [ 32 , 49 , 82 ].…”

“…Positive discipline refers to the use of induction and positive reinforcement to control children’s behavior. Our findings exhibit that occurs when the father uses inductive discipline, calls to reason, and reflection on the consequences of the actions, which have been linked to prosocial behavior and empathy in children [ 8 , 9 ]. On the other hand, guilt induction is the disciplinary technique that promotes shame in children for their bad behavior [ 28 ] and has been related to psychological control and conditional love [ 74 , 75 ].…”

“…However, much has been said about evolutionary inheritance, the biological aspects of sexual differences, and care or socialization practices around the dimensions of masculinity and femininity [7]. In addition, some studies agree that children and young people from violent communities show more significant risks of developing criminal or antisocial behaviors than those in an enriched environment [8][9][10].…”
This study aims to find causal factors of aggression in a group of Latino adolescents to achieve a greater understanding of human nature, taking into account personal and contextual variables. The fundamental hypothesis is that moral disengagement, personality traits, self-esteem, values, parenting, sex, and socioeconomic situation can function as possible casual factors of aggression in adolescents. The study examined the variables using the structural equations model (SEM) to determine causal factors of aggression in a sample of 827 adolescents (54% men and 46% women) between 11 and 16 years of age. According to the scientific literature review, sociodemographic, personal, and familiar variables were included in the causal model. The influence of the variables occurred in two ways: one that inhibits aggression and the other that reinforces it. The results are discussed based on identifying protective and risk factors against aggression: biological sex and values of conformity and transcendence as aggression’s inhibitors and, on the other hand, openness, moral disengagement, and leadership values as the most important predictors of aggression.

“…Previous studies about violence legitimization in childhood highlighted the perception of legitimacy to use violence against provocation, based on the authority, and as a persuasive action when the situation is threatening [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. These studies also analyzed the role of moral disengagement mechanisms and the expectations of legitimation perceived from peers and adults as behavioral determinants [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Growing up perceiving situations of violence both in the family and in the community has been associated with children’s legitimation of violence [ 7 , 8 , 10 , 11 ]. A context that legitimizes violence reduces prosocial behaviors [ 12 ] and reduces the negative affect of the anxiety associated with witnessing these events and recognizing its manifestations [ 13 ].…”
We analyzed gender and anxiety differences in middle school students facing a physical peer aggression situation. The participants were 1147 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years (male: n = 479; female: n = 668) who watched a 12 s animation representing the situation and filled out a questionnaire to analyze the legitimation of violent behaviors and anxiety levels. We registered their decisions to solve the situation using a categorical scale that included assertive, avoidant, aggressive, submissive, and supportive behaviors. Gender was not associated with the adolescent’s behaviors in facing a simulated peer aggression situation. However, male teenagers tended to perceive adults as sanctioners and neutrals; those who used the diffusion of responsibility and dehumanization to justify their behavior also showed a higher state of anxiety. Female teenagers who expected legitimation from their peers, presented higher anxiety as well. Educational interventions may use these results, helping adolescents to understand that their acts have substantial implications in the lives of others. It is essential to develop group interventions that modify how adolescents manage their conflicts and change gender stereotypes that significantly impact health. We highlight the need for linking families in educational programs facing the challenges of transforming the legitimization of violence in parental practices.
Introduction: This article is the product of a project developed by UNIMINUTO in the nineth grade of the Educational Institution Simón Bolivar in “La Nohora” neighbourhood of the Villavicencio - Colombia, this project was executed during 2017 and 2018.
Problem: The problem is the low academic performance of students in mathematics, in addition to multiple possible adverse situations they face as a vulnerable population.
Objective: The objective is to have a positive impact on the academic performance of the students.
Methodology: In the strategy development, STEM education was used to support the learning of math through six sessions were carried out your own classroom. The students solved challenges by programming robots.
Results: Complete each challenge had an important attitudinal impact on the students, the joy and satisfaction of them were an unexpected result. A previous knowledge test was carried out at beginning and at the end of the sessions a formative test was applied too. Afterwards, the results of both tests were compared to evidence improvements in the students' mathematical skills.
Conclusions: It was possible to provide the target population with an alternative to understand issues mistakenly considered difficult and to propose important playful and didactic moments in cognitive development.
Originality: This article shows an educational innovation that the team of researchers will continue to apply. through new projects that allow financing the purchase of equipment and the logistics of the workshops.
Limitations: Lack of strategic alliances that allow financing more meetings with students and the acquisition of more robots.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
