, Secure (secure-autonomous)
-more positive self concept
-greater social competence and conflict resolution skills
-better school adjustment
Insecure-Avoidant (dismissive)
-low social competence
-more likely to victimize others
-difficulties with emotional closeness
-conduct disorders, depression, substance abuse, running away more likely
Insecure-Ambivalent or Resistant (preoccupied)
-higher rates of anxiety disorders
-high susceptibility to peer pressure and being bullied
-dependency on others
Observational Study Results
1) as much if not more time interacting with other adolescents than adults
(original hypothesis was that working would help to increase contact with
adults)
2) Unlikely to be involved in decisions or allowed to act independently
3) Rarely used knowledge that they learned in school
4) Receive minimal instruction from adults
the results that this was an overall negative experience
Research on classroom sizes of 20-40 students suggests academic success isn’t
impacted
-one exception to this is where students need remedial classes/extra help so
schools might "trim the edges" (increase the class size slightly in regular classes to
free up money/rooms/teachers/resources so that students who need specialized
instruction can have smaller classes)
