Williford, 2015, p. 3). Research also shows that bullying behaviors are precipitated by factors that are trans-personal. “Social skills and emotional and executive functioning appear to vary systematically across bullying roles and should be considered when developing targeted social–emotional interventions to stop bullying,” (Jenkins, Demaray & Tennant, 2017, p. 42). The emphasis on interventions should also be on methods that will measurably “increase defending, and support victims or those at risk for victimization,” (Jenkins, Demaray & Tennant, 2017, p. 42).
Bullying is social psychological because it showcases the “different participant roles” each stakeholder plays in the dynamic (Pouwels, Salmivalli, Saarento, et al., 2017, p. 1157). Moreover, social… Continue Reading...
and motor skills to begin to grow. Children learn social skills through play, creativity through play; they learn about themselves -- their strong suits, what they can do, sense of confidence, and more.
You can encourage and support play for children by taking them to the park where other children play. Your kids can watch, they can mimic, they can interact, or they play together cooperatively -- it all depends upon the stage of development they are in. These stages are also fluid and there is no need to think that they are in one stage at one time.… Continue Reading...

Explain how the addition of a social skills program to Tier 2: Targeted Intervention (SWPBS) can provide an extra layer of training for socially significant behaviors in the Behavior Education Program
The addition of a social skills program to Tier 2: Targeted Interventions is consistent with goals of the behavior education program because this level of intervention is specifically designed to provide young learners with the intensive instruction they need to overcome their behavioral deficits in order to graduate to Tier 1 or rejoin the general classroom (What is RTI?, 2016).

While organizational leaders need to possess professional/technical skills, they also need to develop social skills in order to enhance their effectiveness in their respective positions. The list of sociopolitical skills categories suitably reflects the required skills that help to promote the success of an organizational leader in his/her new role or position. The suitability of this list is attributable to the fact that they help promote the leader's smooth transition to the new role or position. Without these skill categories, a leader is more likely to experience challenges with regards to effectiveness in their new roles and responsibilities in the organization. According to… Continue Reading...

These systems do not truly define a person's character in a situation similar to that of… Continue Reading...
way through which college influenced my development as a person is by improving my social skills. This was indeed a key development moment for me. Though I am naturally a people person, my entire college years were a defining phase for me as far as my interpersonal skills are concerned. Ordinarily, college entails a great deal of group work. Students are often required to undertake assignment in groups. For me, group work provided an opportunity to not only work alongside others, but also meet different people. I interacted with people from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and with different personalities, preferences, beliefs, and worldviews.… Continue Reading...
have but I may lack, which may not necessarily cause harm to anyone. Mainly, my weaknesses are manifested in my social skills and over-commitment. Though I am an open-minded individual, when I start pursuing something, I tend to believe that it is the best and nothing can change my mind. I tend to be extremely fixated to my goals; this means I lack the flexibility to change my direction.
Though many people may not see over-commitment as a weakness, in the case of any mistake, it can turn out to be a cause for hindrances. This may be harmful to me because rather than accepting that I need to stop… Continue Reading...

thinking (Lam & Higgins, 2013; Quader, 2011). Emotional intelligence is also defined using five dimensions; self-regulation, social skills, self-awareness, empathy and motivation (Lam & Higgins, 2013; Mandell & Pherwani, 2003; Quader, 2011). In contrast, leadership style considered three types: transactional, transformational and laissez-faire, but the focus of this study will be of transformational leadership style. The transformational style is characterized by leaders who modify the needs, preferences, and aspirations of followers as they wish from self-interest to collective interest (Lam & Higgins, 2013; Genderen, 2012). Other definitions of transformational leadership are the ability of a leader to influence the beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes of others by… Continue Reading...
I believe I am naturally a leader because I am self-aware, can control my impulses, am self-motivated, am capable of empathy, and have social skills. Of these qualities, my social skills are the weakest set. I can build rapport but I am also direct with people at times and do not display requisite amounts of Emotional or Social Intelligence. As I am self-aware, I understand this to be a fault grounded in impatience; I am impatient at times and instead of treating people with the kind of intelligence that I know is needed at the moment, I can rush into making decisions on the spot and make pronouncements that should be reserved and… Continue Reading...
be administered to research participants. Social skills intelligence needs to be measured using an established self-report survey or observational parameter. One of the most common operational definitions of intelligence has been performance on an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test. The upside of operational definitions is that they are specific. Operational definitions are also standardized and can be used by more than one researcher, enhancing the external validity of intelligence research. The downside to operational definitions is that they are limited; they are necessarily generalizable to theory. For instance, performance on an IQ test cannot be used… Continue Reading...
social skills (Schwarz, "Expanding Literacies," 58). Because of their diverse appeal and ability to transcend stereotyped domains, comic books can aid personal psychological and social development. For example, Taylor argues in favor of superhero comic books because of their portrayal of empowering gender norms and aesthetics. Comic books can likewise be used to help students develop self-awareness and communicate with a diverse group of their peers.
In fact, comic books can help distill complex, controversial, or difficult subjects so that they are more easily digestible, age-appropriate, and easily understood by… Continue Reading...
Another referral by an educator in the year 2009 cited the boy's weak concentration in class, poor social skills apparent in groups, defensive stance, need to remain "in control," lack of self-esteem, and failure to accept responsibility for his conduct. According to both referring educators' behavior rating, they were highly concerned about the boy. When he reached the age of 11, this intervention was undertaken. The boy had recently completed group therapy (7 kids in total) for improving his social skills and teaching him to share things with others (Adams-Langley, 2013).

The positivity in the identification process develops the basis for developing instructional strategies and effective communication. Teachers’ social skills can be modeled and reinforced using their social skills such as respect and understanding for cross-culture. Teachers should build their relationships with their students. An interview was once conducted to culturally diverse high school students. These students presented behavior challenges in which they wanted their teachers to know how their lives were like when they were outside school. Understanding the lives of students enables teachers to have the relevance of lessons increased and more meaningful examples made.
Teachers should teach their students in a way that their behavior… Continue Reading...

to psychological and social skills development, which is one of the reasons Elliot gravitated towards a career path dedicated to exposing and eradicating hearization in Deaf education.
Of course, Elliot is not alone among children who had been exposed to hearization in their homes and communities and later realize the importance of shifting their perspective to what could be called Deaf ethnocentrism. Humphries & Humphries (2011) note, “Deaf children from hearing parents may, and frequently do, ‘migrate’ to Deaf communities,” (p. 153). Migrating to a Deaf community might temporarily entail extricating oneself from… Continue Reading...

The arrangement promotes a general feeling of inclusivity, which Leach and Duffy (2009) note is helpful for ASD students as it promotes the feeling of being part of the whole. Isolation for ASD students can lead to feelings of anxiety and stress and in a learning environment any modification that promotes inclusion can be seen as a positive one.
