Intergroup bias is a major problem with terrible consequences for our society and research shows that this human tendency can be evident in children as young as three. This essay has critically discussed the SIT’s social-psychological perspective on why intergroup bias occurs, comparing the SIT model to other theories, highlighting why it is an ideal model to explain intergroup bias. The SIT model refers to self-esteem as the motive for intergroup bias and achieving a positive social identity and enhancing self-esteem may promote intergroup bias (Trepte, 2006). As well as explaining why intergroup bias occurs, studies have been carried out on how to reduce bias. The reduction of both implicit and explicit bias can come from education, better

A. The PAS Doctrine Gardner defined PAS as a disorder, in which the child during a custody dispute begins a campaign of denigration against the targeted parent, without justification. The disorder results from “the combination of a programming (brainwashing) parent’s indoctrinations and the child’s own contributions to the vilification of [a] target[ed] parent.” When referring to brainwashing he refers to the active and conscious attempt of the alienating parent “to deliberately bring about the
As one of the children from around the world that was once a victim of spanking and as a science major and hopefully a future doctor, I must say that I am torn on the topic of spanking. My research has led me to different opinions on spanking, it has taught me the good use of spanking in child’s discipline which many adults have tried to convince me of several times. My research also showed me how spanking can lead to the destruction of a child by damaging a child’s brain and making them prone to mental diseases and lowering their intelligence and memory. It also showed me how spanking can lead to physical abuse and bad behaviors. Combined with personal experience, my research made me see that not all spanking is necessarily bad for children.

Babchishin, which used people that have been labeled as sex offenders already. The overall goal of this research to find differences amongst this group and the different categories that lie within it as well, by using scales such as sexy versus not sexy or erotic versus non-erotic type categories (KELLY). Being that children are commonly victims of sexual abuse, the study stated that they set out to find more answers and predictors of why this happens and how they found early on in their research that a key predictor of potential sexual molestation is the amount of attraction that a person has towards children (KELLY). From the research done, they found that out of this group of men, there was a larger amount of attraction to girls rather than women and that there was not a large difference in results regarding the attraction of boys to men. It is stated that results found were consistent with the relation of sexual attraction and those of which who were categorized as pedophiles, which I think could be used in the future as a type of screening of individuals for a preventative
Childhood Victimization is one of the most researched areas relating to the consequences of victimization involves child maltreatment, including how victimization by caregivers, peers, and others affects children and adolescents. The vast body of research on these topics suggests that there are both short- and long-term physical and mental health consequences for children and adolescents.

Neglect can lead to vitamin deficiencies, obesity, untreated medical conditions, and injuries incurred due to a lack of supervision. In terms of mental health, child maltreatment is associated with lack
