Obedience

35.9K
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,...

Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Resistance01:19

Resistance

8.0K
When a current moves through any conductor, the conductor causes some level of difficulty for the current to flow. The measure of that difficulty is known as the resistance of the material and is represented by R. Every material has its own resistance. In the case of conductors, heat is emitted whenever a current passes through them. Resistance depends on the resistivity of the material. Resistivity is a characteristic of the material used to fabricate electrical components, whereas the...

Frustration and Conflict: Avoidance-Avoidance, Double-Approach Avoidance

885
Avoidance-avoidance conflict refers to a psychological situation where a person must choose between two or more unpleasant alternatives. These conflicts are particularly stressful because neither option is desirable. This dilemma is often expressed in sayings like "caught between a rock and a hard place" or "between the devil and the deep blue sea." For instance, individuals who fear dental procedures may find themselves torn between enduring a painful toothache or facing the...

  • Exploration of the role of religious capital and interpretive confidence.

Main Results:

  • Victims actively resist the misuse of religious doctrine.
Keywords:

  • Resistance effectiveness is linked to religious capital (knowledge/mastery of religious culture).
  • Interpretive confidence in understanding religious culture is crucial for resistance.

    • Conclusions:

    • Victims' ability to resist religious coercive control is not solely passive.
    • Religious capital and interpretive confidence are key resources for overcoming religiously-based abuse.
