Bullying

8.7K
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...

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

120
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

161
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.6K
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...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

30.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Criminology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence against women (IPV-W) awareness is growing, yet economic abuse (EA) remains under-addressed compared to physical or sexual abuse.
  • Economic abuse is a prevalent and effective tactic used by abusive partners, significantly impacting victims.
  • There is a need to expand knowledge on EA's reality, impact, and the barriers victims face in seeking help.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the lived experiences of service users and providers regarding economic abuse (EA) within intimate partner violence against women (IPV-W).
  • To identify economic barriers and support systems for victims seeking assistance.
  • To develop recommendations for improving responses to EA.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 IPV-W service users and 24 service providers in England.
  • Grounded theory methodology, including open, axial, and selective coding, was employed for data analysis.
  • The study explored themes such as definitions and prevalence of EA, user experiences, continued impact, barriers to help, financial goals, professional responses, and user support.

Main Results:

  • Five core themes emerged: definitions/prevalence of EA, service user experiences, continued impact of EA, barriers to help, and financial goals.
  • Service providers also identified professional responses to EA, while service users discussed their support systems.
  • Participants recommended recognizing EA as a distinct IPV-W type, updating legal guidelines for prosecution, involving banks in victim support, and enhancing police/frontline worker training on EA.

Conclusions:

  • Economic abuse is a critical, under-recognized component of IPV-W that requires specific attention and tailored interventions.
  • Collaboration with service users and providers is essential for developing effective policies, programs, and practices to combat EA.
  • Recommendations focus on legal reform, financial institution involvement, and improved professional training to better support victims of economic abuse.
