birth order is sometimes not a major influence on personality development and that the child's opinion of himself and his situation determines his choice of attitude
mélange of two distinct sciences: sociology and psychology
Like all sciences, social psychology searches for concrete proof before belief
“the biologizing of human beings is not only bad humanism, but also bad science.”
study at Ohio State University conducted in the winter of 2001 showed that birth order affects career interests. In the Journal of Career Assessment, researchers noted that only children and first born children tended to have more cognitive and analytical interests, while those later-born were more artistic and outdoors oriented.

April 1, 2003, the Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA)
emphasize the rehabilitation and re-entry of a young offender into society.
"The youth criminal justice system is to prevent crime by addressing the circumstances underlying a young person's offending behaviour, rehabilitate young persons who commit offences and reintegrate them back into society, and ensure that a young person is subject to meaningful consequences for his or her offences, in order to promote the long-term protection of the public."
Researchers in Hamilton, Ohio, documented
that students participating in a string pullout
program scored higher on the reading, mathematics
and citizenship portions of the Ohio Proficiency
Test (OPT), than their non-music peers.
This study paired string and non-music students
based on their verbal Cognitive Abilities
Test (COGAT). Four groups of string students
were released two times a week for instruction.
Two of those four groups scored significantly
higher on the reading and mathematics portion
of the OPT than their non-music peers. Additionally,
68% of string students scored at grade level
or higher on all four sections of the test
compared to 58% of the non-music students.

SAT scores of students who took part in
music instruction surpassed students with
no music training. Data collected from students
taking the SAT, indicated that students taking
music and arts averaged scores that were
higher than non music students by 60 points
on the verbal section and 43 points on the
math section.
This is a website about children in school learning to play music. They want to show us how being knowledgable in music affects our school grades. They use recent studies to prove that this is true. Musical prowess equals academic prowess.
. Films have been using musical scores for years to create the right mood for a scene. At times you hardly notice the music at all but you are very receptive to the mood being conveyed. So can we use music to put us in a "productive" mood?
Research seems to support such a claim. For example, a trial where 75 out of 256 workers at a large retail company were issued with personal stereos to wear at work for four weeks showed a 10% increase in productivity for the headphone wearers. Other similar research conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois found a 6.3% increase when compared with the no music control group.
f your goal is to increase your concentration then music which has a constant, easy beat and light melodies are recommended.
they help you pace your reading to aid focus and memorising. Baroque music is reported as an excellent example, especially the works of Vivaldi, Bach and Handel.
the Russian Academy of Sciences discovered that a person's ability to recognize visual images, including letters and numbers, is faster when either rock or classical music is playing in the background
If you are aiming to be more productive through being more relaxed, then you may be interested to learn that research has shown that music with an upbeat rhythm can reduce stress hormone levels by as much as 41%.
Apparently cows will produce more milk if Mozart is played.
Music can be of assistance when you study however it needs to be a relaxing music as you don't want to create distractions for the brain
Your favourite rock band where you sing along to all the lyrics for example is not a good choice.
You can also use music to break up your study time. It's great for example to study for 40 minutes with music then 30 minutes without, each time you make a shift it will seem like a fresh study period and can actually help you study more effectively for longer.
The mind benefits from short periods of intensive study followed by breaks. During the breaks it's thought that the mind processes what's been learnt. When you return to study again for the second time it has a compound effect.
Classical music has been widely touted as favorable to intelligence. According to Sylvan Learning centers, studies indicate that soft, classical musical aids in concentration, and, according to Scholastic, studies also indicate that classical music stimulates the section of the brain used in math.
Instrumental music playing lightly in the background can help prevent outside distractions, making it easier to focus on homework.
Loud music with words can often be more distracting than beneficial if you are trying to study.
However, you may be able to tune out the lyrics of a song, get into the rhythm of the music and study more effectively while songs you like are playing.
While classical music has proven in studies to be good for the thought process, even it can be distracting for some people. Trial and error is the only way to know how distracting music will be for you.
This website is extremley useful for my partner and I because it explains the consequences of peer pressure, which is our research subject. It is based on numerous, very credible researches such as the Zill research. It also explains the role that the parents have in preventing peer pressure as well as the factors that influence our generation to be much more pressured than the previous generation. Lastly, it explains that peer pressure does not only come from peers, but also from the parents' role and the role of media.
This webpage is useful for my project because it helps explain the ways in which involving yourself in sports can affect your self-esteem. It gives examples of studies that have been done with their conclusions on the relation between sports and self-esteem.
The study
does beg one age-old question: Which came first? Do kids think
better of themselves because they're involved in sports, or do
they get involved in sports because they already have higher self-esteem?
"It's difficult to swoop into a one-time study and then determine
whether the kids have better self-esteem to begin with,"
says McHale.
I think this is a very good question to keep in mind when working on my project because I think there could be some bias in our results if kids are involved in sports because they already have higher self-esteem.
This page is extremly helpful for my partner and I because it is based on a research and is highly credible. It explains that peer pressure is often misunderstood. Teens choose like-minded friends, which means that if the friend is pressuring them for something, it's often a thought that has been considered by the teenager before. It gives us a very different point of view on teens and peer pressure.
This web page shows a study where a survey that is being orchastrated every 2 years has been reviewed again only to see a rise in teenagers that lie, cheat and steal to get anything and everything that they want. This study also compares present results to past results.
And they lie even more than they steal. Forty-two percent say they have lied to
save money (compared with 39 percent in 2006), and 83 percent said they lied to
their parents about something significant.
The institute conducted a random survey of 29,760 high school students earlier
this year (as they have every two years since 1992) and found that the next
generation of leaders have a somewhat casual relationship with the truth.
Ninety-three percent said they were “satisfied with their personal ethics and
character.” And 26 percent said they lied on at least one or two questions on
the survey about lying.
This URL has given 4 reasons why they believe that teens are dishonest with there parents. It gives reasons as to why and what pushes them to lie to there parents.
This website shows a few examples of what teenagers typically would lie about. These little white lies are very common our society, and happen all the time. In addition, this web page indicates a survey that was taken to 9 000 high school students about there honesty. I believe that this is a proper amount of students to be able to generally analize teenagers as a society, and formulate how honest they are as a population.
In a recent survey of almost 9,000 high school students:
92% lied to their parents in the past 12 months (79% two
or more times)
78% lied to a teacher
71% cheated on a test
would lie to get a job
