    Peer Attachment: A Meta-analytic Review of Gender and AgeDifferences and Associations with Parent Attachment

    No full text
    In adolescence, peers represent key actors within individual social network. Given the relevance of peer connections and the growing literature examining them, the purpose of this article was to review, through a meta-analytic approach, studies on adolescent and youth peer relationships within the theoretical framework of attachment. First, we synthesized results of 44 studies focused on relationships between parent and peer attachment. Second, we summarized findings of 54 studies reporting gender differences on peer attachment. Third, we computed an overall effect for age differences on peer attachment documented in 19 studies. Main findingshighlighted that parent attachment is moderately correlated to peer attachment; that females were significantly more attached to their peers than males; and that the correlation between age and peer attachment was not significant. This set of findings was confirmed examining both overall peer attachment as well as specific dimensions of attachment, such as trust and communication. Furthermore, since a significant heterogeneity was found across studies, we tested the effects of various categorical (i.e., year and language of publication, country, attachment measure) and continuous (i.e., mean age and percentage of females of the sample, number of items of the peer attachment scale) moderators related to characteristics of the study samples and designs. Implications of these findings for future research are discussed. A focus on cultural dimensions and on peer attachment processes would be worthwhile to address relevant research questions: How do peer relationships progressively become mature attachment relationships? How is this process shaped for individuals with different parent attachment histories

    Peer attachment and self-esteem: A meta-analytic review

    Peer attachment might provide individuals with opportunities to build their sense of self-worth. The pur- pose of this paper was to meta-analytically review literature on peer attachment and self-esteem. A total of 22 articles reporting 24 studies documenting correlations between peer attachment and self-esteem in adolescents and emerging adults were included in this meta-analysis. Of these studies, most examined links between global peer attachment and self-esteem, while few studies reported any associations between specific dimensions of peer attachment (i.e., trust, communication, and alienation) and self- esteem. Results showed significant correlations between peer attachment and self-esteem, consistently found both in studies focused on global attachment as well as in studies including specific attachment dimensions. Furthermore, since a significant heterogeneity was found across the studies, the effects of various categorical and continuous moderators related to characteristics of the study samples and designs were tested. Implications of these findings for future research are discussed

    Videogiochi a contenuto violento ed aggressività.Un modello semiotico della loro relazione

    Nel presente lavoro viene proposto un modello semiotico della relazione tra i videogiochi a contenuto violento ed aggressività. Si sostiene che tale tipo di video- giochi non ha effetti invarianti sugli adolescenti poiché la relazione tra il giocare e il suo impatto è mediata dal significato che i giocatori associano alla violenza esercitata virtualmente ed alla attività di gioco. Lo studio è stato condotto su un campione di 128 soggetti (64M; 64F) di età compresa tra i 15 e i 18 anni. Sono state prese in considerazione tre variabili fattoriali: a) il tipo di violenza espressa nel videogioco (videogioco a contenuto violento: Legittimo vs Illecito), b) il contesto sociale entro cui l’attività di gioco si realizza (condizione di gioco: Individuale vs Interpersonale), c) la durata del gioco (10’ vs 45’). La risposta aggressiva è stata misurata per mezzo di due scale self report, una relativa alla dimensione cognitiva della aggressività, l’altra a quella affettiva. I risultati delle analisi multivariate ed univariate sono coerenti con le principali ipotesi derivate dal modello. Parole chiave: videogiochi violenti; aggressività; costruzione significato. We propose a semiotic model of the relationship between violent videogames and aggressiveness, stating that playing a violent videogame does not have invariant ef- fect, because the relationship between playing and aggressive response is mediated by the meaning adolescents associate to the violence performed and to the activity of playing. The study adopts a sample of 128 participants (64M+64F), 15-18 aged. The design takes into account 3 factorial variables: a) the kind of violence provided by the videogame (valorised vs illicit); b) the social context within which the activity of playing is performed (playing individually vs playing as an interpersonal activity); c) the duration of playing (10’ vs 45’). The aggressive response has been measured by means of two self-report scales - one referred to the cognitive aggressiveness and one to the affective aggressiveness. Multivariate and univariate analysis provide re- sults being consistent with the core hypotheses drawn by the model. Key-words: violent videogames, aggressiveness, sense-making
