This book provides an in-depth insight into what is currently known
and relatively unknown about youths' online peer engagement. It
delivers state-of-the-art current reviews of the literature in the
field, with a strong coverage of methodological issues in studying
online friendships and an emphasis on moving towards a new, less
dichotomic, view of online peer interaction in adolescence. With a
focus on what spending time with online-exclusive peers entails -
in terms of both potential positive as well as negative
consequences for friendship quality, intimacy, and well-being -
this book offers a more nuanced commentary on youths' online peer
engagement. Including coverage of the evolution of online
friendships, cyberbullying, cyberdating, sexting, online abuse,
smartphones, social networks, as well as their impact on adolescent
social interaction online, Van Zalk and Monks consider implications
for future research directions and practical applications. Online
Peer Engagement in Adolescence is important reading for
undergraduate and master students studying social and developmental
psychology, education, relationships and health, as well as
advanced researchers and academics working in these fields.

Bullying has a tendency to be associated with aggression between
children in the playground, but bullying and abuse can also be
observed in other social settings. Bullying in Different Contexts
brings together, for the first time, leading international
researchers to discuss these behaviours in a wide range of
settings, including preschool, school, the home, residential care,
prisons, the workplace and cyberspace. The authors provide
background to the different contexts, discuss the impact and types
of interpersonal aggression and the characteristics of those
involved. A final chapter collates the findings from each context
to draw conclusions on the similarities and differences between the
behaviours, risk factors for involvement and theoretical approaches
to explain bullying. This original volume will further our
understanding of bullying and inform preventative and intervention
work. The authors seek to show how research from diverse settings
may inform our understanding of the bullying phenomenon as a whole.
