Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.5K
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...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

729
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Bullying

8.9K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Behavior Modification

827
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

578
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation01:21

Secondary Motives: Affiliation Motivation and Aggression Motivation

778
Affiliation motivation is the intrinsic desire to connect with others and belong to a social group, which plays a crucial role in forming and maintaining personal relationships. This type of motivation is essential for psychological well-being, as it provides individuals with a sense of community and support. An example of this is a student who joins a study group in order to feel a sense of connection. People with high affiliation motivation actively seek social approval, take satisfaction in...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Dementia Care
  • Social Gerontology

Background:

  • Challenging behaviours are common in dementia.
  • Care partner experiences with these behaviours at home are under-researched.
  • Existing research lacks focus on relational aspects of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how care partners interpret and respond to aggressive behaviours from people with dementia.
  • To examine the experiences of former care partners in Ontario, Canada.
  • To apply concepts of structural and interpersonal violence to dementia care.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study using seven interviews.
  • Involved nine former care partners of people with dementia.
  • Analysis informed by health and social geography concepts.

Main Results:

  • Identified 'aggression' as an emerging theme in care partner experiences.
  • Revealed diverse interpretations and responses to challenging behaviours.
  • Highlighted the relational dynamics between care partners and individuals with dementia.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding care partner responses to dementia-related aggression is crucial.
  • Relational care frameworks offer insights into these interactions.
  • Further research is needed on spatial scales and implications of these behaviours.
