Call for Papers - Cyberbullying: Definition, Measurement, Correlates and Development
With the increase and diffusion of modern technologies a new form of aggression and bullying has emerged. Many researchers refer to these new forms with the term Cyberbullying, Electronic Bullying, or Internet Bullying.
Based on the existing research findings, there is primarily a need for a clear and accepted definition of cyberbullying taking into account the definition of traditional bullying. As different measurement approaches are applied, a systematic discussion about why what approach may be used and what findings may be expected is needed. Furthermore, more knowledge on correlates of cyberbullying is needed.
We openly invite contributions to a topical special issue of the European Journal of Developmental Psychology on "Cyberbullying: Definition, Measurement, Correlates and Development”.
Family Science: New Journal for 2010
Family Science will be the official journal of the European Society on Family Relations.
To this end, the journal will promote the development of Family Science within Europe and around the globe, by publishing original research, theoretical, methodological and review papers that address issues pertinent to the family.
New: Parenting with Reason - Evidence-Based Approaches to Parenting Dilemmas
Parenting with Reason cuts through the masses of confusing and often contradictory advice about parenting by providing hard evidence to back up the tough decisions all parents face.
Unlike many self-help guides to parenting which are based on the opinion of one author, this book is based on findings from scientific research, making it a trustworthy, evidence-based guide to parenting dilemmas.
This book is ideal for new or prospective parents, paediatricians, family health providers, and anyone who works with parents and children.
Should we leave babies to cry?
Bestselling author of Why Love Matters, Sue Gerhardt, helps answer this question in an article in The Independent.
"To put it as bluntly as Sue Gerhardt in her marvellous book Why Love Matters, your baby can't 'tune out' her stress hormones, she needs you to switch them off for her."
