“…As independent use of the Internet and social media becomes more common, parents can actively monitor usage and equip their adolescent children with skills to engage online responsibly and in a way that maintains their privacy (Padilla-Walker, Coyne, Kroff, & Memmott-Elison, 2018;Sarriera, Abs, Casas, & Bedin, 2012;Velki & Jagodić, 2017).…”

Throughout the rapid and intense changes that adolescents experience, their parents retain important influence over how they interact with the complex factors that shape their development. How parents care for their adolescent children has a deep and lasting impact on their well-being and development. Yet, parents often require support to meet their own and their adolescent children's needs, which can be achieved through parenting support programmes. Parenting support programmes are delivered to parents of younger children across different contexts and populations, but the benefit of these programmes for parents of adolescents is not wellrecognised or prioritised. Given the clear need for these interventions during adolescence and the substantial evidence for effectiveness in this age group, it is time to move the field forward. Increased resources to support parents of adolescents would maximise adolescents' developmental potential and promote their well-being. We highlight four pressing areas for action: including parents of adolescents in parenting initiatives; involving parents in adolescent programming; strengthening efforts to address poverty and inequality, violence, and gender inequality; and engaging in strategic research to intensify the impact of programming.

“…Some research has been done on the impact of online hatred on the frequency of peer aggression in schools. 32 Individuals who exhibit verbal aggression, including acceptance of verbal aggression, may be less sensitive to online hate speech. 2 Some studies have found that high impulsivity is associated with both offline 33 and online 34,35 aggressive behavior and compulsive internet use.…”

Online hate speech is a concern for social media platforms, regulators, scholars, researchers, and the public. Considering the prevalence and controversy of hate speech, little research has been reported on hate speech perception and its psychosocial predictors. Our study examines the differences in the perception of hate speech toward migrants in publicly available online comments between a public group (NPublic= 649) and an expert group (NExperts = 27). We also test how well the proposed hate speech indicators (characteristics of a comment) correlate with perceived hate speech in both groups. Furthermore, we explore predictors of hate speech perception by correlating it with demographic and psychological variables (i.e., human values, prejudice, aggression, impulsiveness, social media behavior, attitudes toward migrants and migration, and trust in institutions). The results indicate that the public and experts are not equally sensitive to hate speech. The expert group perceived the comments as more hateful and emotionally hurtful compared to the general population. By contrast, the public agreed more with the anti-migrant hateful comments. The proposed hate speech indicators and especially the total score correlate very strongly with both the public’s and experts’ perceptions of hate speech. Psychological predictors such as the human values of universalism, tradition, security, and subjective social distance/closeness are significant predictors of online hate speech evaluation. Our findings highlight the need for public and scholarly discussions, more robust educational policies, and intervention programs with specific measures to counter hate speech online.

“…The effects of the family environment and different types of media environment on adolescent aggressive behavior have been found in a number of studies, e.g. [5][6][7][8], but the parallel impact of these factors, as well as the impact of the social context in which adolescents play video games and watch different media shows, still need to be verified [9]. This outlines the need for systematic research among different types of social, cultural, and family contexts in which children and teenagers learn and are brought up.…”

The article examines the influence of two of the main social environments on students’ aggressive behaviours. On the one hand, attention is paid to the general socio-psychological climate in the family environment and the attitude of the parents towards the child; and on the other hand, a less frequently studied aspect related to aggressive manifestations of the children and adolescents towards the parents is addressed. The study explores how watching TV shows and movies, as well as video games, in which aggression and violence predominate, is connected to the frequency and degree of manifestation of types of aggression in adolescents. The survey was conducted at the end of 2017 among 992 students in 18 primary schools, secondary schools, and vocational schools/high schools in six different cities in different regions of Bulgaria. A structured questionnaire for the study of aggression in school was designed and was intended for students. The results of the study generally show that the verbal aggression towards parents (insulting and shouting) is mostly associated with verbal aggression towards both teachers and classmates. Regarding the influence of TV shows and movies containing aggression, it was found that students who watched movies with military, fighting and bloody scenes demonstrated more frequent manifestations of verbal aggression, but the TV contents did not significantly influence the manifestations of indirect aggression and physical aggression. However, the frequency of playing video games with aggressive content has a significant effect on all investigated forms of aggression, with the strongest effect on physical aggression. Aggression in social networks is a significant factor that affects the frequency of manifestation of various forms of aggression. Students who bully others on social networks stand out as the most aggressive (verbally, physically, and indirectly).
