Bullying in the Playground: The Impact of Inter-personal Violence on Australian Children\u27s Perceptions of Their Play Environment
No full textIn Study One the extent of inter-personal violence (bullying) and the environment in which it occurred was investigated in a sample of 1050 South Australian primary school children. On average across the three schools which participated in the study 23.8% of students reported being bullied once a week or more often. The bullying was reported as most frequently taking place during break-times in the relatively open playground spaces of the oval and hard surface play areas. In Study Two 365 students from one of the participating schools were further surveyed to understand the relationship between various indices of personal and inter-personal well-being and the quality of peer relationships in the playground environment. Students who reported being victimized were significantly more likely to report playing alone, feeling unhappier and less safe in the playground. The findings were discussed in terms of schools needing to address the issue of peer bullying and working to create a safer school environment for all children

Evolutionary Environments of Human Birth and Infancy: Insights to Apply to Contemporary Life
No full textThis paper reviews the evolutionary history of human birth and infancy, using as data the cross-species, cross-cultural, and fossil records. We argue that studies of other cultures, other species, and other, more ancient times are necessary for fully understanding social, psychological, and physiological processes underlying birth and infant development. Indeed, knowledge of the differences in the ancient and recent environments of birth and infancy is necessary for understanding and solving some of the problems and dissatisfactions with the ways in which childbirth and infancy are experienced in modern life. The most dramatic differences to emerge in this review are in the social environments of childbirth and the sleeping environments of infants
