“…Indegree and betweenness are basic network attributes that portray an individual's social position. Indegree typically refers to an individual's popularity (Faris, Felmlee, & McMillan, 2020;Haynie, 2001) or peer acceptance (Rulison et al, 2014). Researchers suggested that indegree is a useful indicator to capture an individual's integration capacity attributes (Baron & Tindall, 1993).…”

Background and aimsDuring the COVID-19 lockdown, problematic Internet use (PIU) has become a serious issue among residential college students, who remain physically isolated from off-campus society. This study constructs an integrated model to investigate the influencing mechanisms of internal locus of control (LOC) and objective peer effects.MethodsResidential college students (n = 494) were surveyed from a single department of a Chinese university. An item from the World Value Survey was employed to measure internal LOC, while objective peer effects were assessed via friends’ mutual nominations. Finally, PIU was measured using Young’s Internet Addiction Tests, while a social network analysis and logit regression were combined to estimate various factors’ effects on PIU.ResultsIn our sample, the prevalence rate of PIU was 30.6%, and while internal LOC was a protective factor for PIU, its protective role was diluted when exposed to a peer environment with high PIU prevalence. Furthermore, indegree performed contrasting roles on PIU under various network conditions. It acted as a protective factor when exposed to a low prevalence of PIU in a peer environment; however, it became a risk factor when PIU peers were prevalent. Lastly, the protective efficacy of betweenness was activated when individuals had more than one PIU friend.Discussion and conclusionsFurther intervention studies focusing on individuals with a weak internal LOC are recommended during the lockdown. Additionally, interventions that consider the network structures carefully, may enhance the prevention of PIU.

“…The poor outcomes for BV targets might thus be due to a socioemotional asymmetry that is characterized by a higher sensitivity to rejection vs. the higher need to belong seen in perpetrators. Perpetrators of bullying have been shown to have status goals related to dominance and prestige (Sijtsema et al, 2009 ) and often enjoy greater power, dominance, and popularity than BV targets (Vaillancourt et al, 2003 ; Pouwels et al, 2018 ; Faris et al, 2020 ).…”

Bullying victimization is a form of psychological stress that is associated with poor outcomes in the areas of mental health and learning. Although the emotional maladjustment and memory impairment following interpersonal stress are well documented, the mechanisms of complex cerebral dysfunctions have neither been outlined nor studied in depth in the context of childhood bullying victimization. As a contribution to the cross-disciplinary field of developmental psychology and neuroscience, we review the neuropathophysiology of early life stress, as well as general psychological stress to synthesize the data and clarify the versatile dynamics within neuronal networks linked to bullying victimization. The stress-induced neuropsychological cascade and associated cerebral networks with a focus on cognitive and emotional convergence are described. The main findings are that stress-evoked neuroendocrine reactivity relates to neuromodulation and limbic dysregulation that hinder emotion processing and executive functioning such as semantic cognition, cognitive flexibility, and learning. Developmental aspects and interacting neural mechanisms linked to distressed cognitive and emotional processing are pinpointed and potential theory-of-mind nuances in targets of bullying are presented. The results show that childhood stress psychopathology is associated with a complex interplay where the major role belongs to, but is not limited to, the amygdala, fusiform gyrus, insula, striatum, and prefrontal cortex. This interplay contributes to the sensitivity toward facial expressions, poor cognitive reasoning, and distress that affect behavioral modulation and emotion regulation. We integrate the data on major brain dynamics in stress neuroactivity that can be associated with childhood psychopathology to help inform future studies that are focused on the treatment and prevention of psychiatric disorders and learning problems in bullied children and adolescents.

“…There is a growing recognition in popular books and media that friendship is not simply an easy, pleasurable bond, but that it requires work and can disappoint (Kreider 2012; Schaefer 2019; Sow and Friedman 2021). While for a long time scholars largely celebrated friendship as a positive feature of people's lives (Heaphy and Davies 2012:311), research on the difficult side of friendship is becoming more prominent (Aeby and van Hooff 2019; Anthony and McCabe 2015; Eramian and Mallory 2021; Faris, Felmlee, and McMillan 2020; Heaphy and Davies 2012; Smart et al 2012). What is clear is that there is no contradiction between friendships being difficult and those same friendships being important to people.…”

Friendship depends on equality, yet friends are seldom fully equal. In this article, we investigate failed and difficult friendships through attention to the relationship between (in)equality, recognition, and “rules of irrelevance.” Based on interviews in an Atlantic Canadian city, we argue that since friendship offers the chance to develop an identity and be recognized as a whole person, it encounters difficulty when friends will not or cannot enact rules of irrelevance around their inequalities. We identify four flashpoints that may undermine those rules of irrelevance: authority over a friend, unequal cultural capital, suffusion of work relations and friendship, and complexities of cross‐gender friendships.
