Attitudes

25.9K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Obedience

26.2K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Flat Belts: Problem Solving

1.0K
Flat belts are crucial in many industrial applications as they help transmit power from one pulley to another. The concept of forces and moments is used to determine the maximum moment on a pulley. For instance, consider a flat belt that wraps around two pulleys, A and B, with radii of 30 cm and 10 cm, respectively. The angle between the belt and the horizontal is 20 degrees at the pulleys. As pulley B rotates clockwise and drives pulley A, tension T2 is caused at one end of the belt, while...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

806
The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

77.8K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Frictional Forces on Flat Belts01:28

Frictional Forces on Flat Belts

1.8K
Flat belts are commonly used in various industrial applications for transmitting power from one pulley to another. When a flat belt is wrapped around a set of pulleys, it experiences different tensions at the driving pulley ends due to the friction between the belt and pulley surface. When the pulley moves in a counterclockwise direction, the tension T2 on the opposite side of the pulley where the belt is moving away from is higher than the tension T1 on the side where the belt is moving...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Ergonomics
  • Workplace Safety

Background:

  • Low back pain is a prevalent issue among hospital workers.
  • Job attitudes can be influenced by workplace safety measures and physical well-being.
  • Preventative programs aim to mitigate workplace injuries and improve employee morale.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of back belts on hospital workers' job attitudes.
  • To assess the effect of a back belt program on the experience of back pain.
  • To evaluate employee perceptions of injury prevention through back belt usage.

Main Methods:

  • A preventative program involving education, exercise, and back belts was implemented.
  • Serial attitude surveys were administered to participating hospital workers.
  • Data on the experience of low back pain was collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in employee job attitudes were observed post-program.
  • Workers reported a decreased experience of low back pain.
  • Employees perceived back belts as effective tools for injury avoidance.

Conclusions:

  • Back belt programs can positively influence job attitudes in hospital settings.
  • The use of back belts may contribute to a reduction in reported back pain.
  • Employee perception of safety is enhanced through ergonomic interventions like back belts.
