Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.6K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Anatomical Positions

21.0K
In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Personality types, particularly Type A and Type B, significantly influence how individuals respond to stress. These personality distinctions are marked by varying levels of ambition, competitiveness, and coping styles, all of which shape an individual's resilience to stressors.
Type A Personality: Driven and Easily Stressed
Individuals with Type A personalities are often highly competitive and ambitious and operate with a strong sense of urgency. Commonly labeled as...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

1.1K
A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Stress on an Oblique Plane

1.2K
Understanding stress on an oblique plane under axial loading is pivotal in material mechanics. This analysis offers insight into a material's durability and strength, which is crucial for civil engineering and structural design. Axial loading refers to force application along the material's central axis, causing compression or elongation and leading to normal stress. Normal stress occurs when a force acts perpendicularly to the material's area, resulting in compressive or tensile...

Attitudes01:54

Attitudes

33.5K
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;...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study found that current anger is linked to specific body postures, like shoulder inclination and head protrusion. Chronic anger may also lead to persistent postural changes, such as shoulder protraction.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Kinesiology
  • Human Physiology

Background:

  • Emotions and physical posture are known to influence each other.
  • Understanding this bidirectional relationship is crucial for holistic health assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between subjective anger levels and specific body posture parameters.
  • To explore potential links between current and usual anger and postural characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • The study included 28 women (aged 20-39) with normal or underweight BMI and no relevant health disorders.
  • Postural parameters (shoulder inclination, head protrusion, knee hyperextension, shoulder elevation) were photographed.
  • Subjective anger was assessed using analogue scales for current and usual anger levels.

Main Results:

  • A significant relationship was observed between current anger and shoulder inclination (p=0.03), head protrusion (p=0.05), and knee hyperextension (p=0.05).
  • Usual anger correlated with shoulder elevation (p=0.05) and knee hyperextension (p=0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Body posture is demonstrably associated with emotional states, specifically anger.
  • Chronic anger may contribute to the development of specific postural habits, like shoulder protraction.
