Cyberbullying is identified as one of the main threats on the Internet that has the most serious consequences. Research has found that cyberbullying is the most frustrating Internet threat for children (Haddon & Livingstone, 2012).

This study is part of the Lithuanian Science Council funded project “Children’s and adolescents’ Internet use in Lithuania: possibilities and risks tendencies in EU context” (No. S-MIP-17-1/LSS-250000-1087).

Implicitinis ir eksplicitinis požiūris į naudojimąsi „Facebooku“

Psichologija

ris į jo naudojimą teigiamesnis nei tų, kurie neturi susikūrę savo paskyros šiame tinkle. Be to, eksplicitinis požiūris yra susijęs su prisijungimų dažniu ir laiku, praleistu prie šio socialinio tinklo, ir padeda prognozuoti "Facebooko" paskyros turėjimą. Implicitinio požiūrio sąsajų su elgesiu bei skirtumų tarp turinčių paskyrą ir jos neturinčių jaunuolių rasti nepavyko. Taip pat šis požiūris nėra prognozuojantis veiksnys, tačiau, nagrinėjant reakcijos greičio skirtumus, pastebėta, kad turintys paskyrą jaunuoliai greičiau susieja "Facebooką" su malonumu.

Neuroscience findings on brain maturation – arguments for the exclusive criminal liability of young people

Kriminologijos studijos, 2020

Taking together all the evidence on the aetiology, development and differential processes of delinquent behaviour from childhood to adulthood, we dispose of important new evidence from the neurosciences, which, compared to traditional criminological, developmental, psychological and sociological evidence, increases our capacity to explain the age-crime curve. In particular, the right-hand side of the curve, indicating desistance from crime in young adulthood between the ages of 18 and 25, can be based on new insights from neuroscientific research on brain maturation and the development of self-control mechanisms. As a result, new questions about judicial reactions and interventions must be raised. If an individual’s brain is fully matured only in the mid-twenties, general criminal law is possibly inappropriate, and a specific youth or young-adult criminal law reflecting the transitional processes and the diminished culpability of young-adult offenders should rather be applied. In ma...
