Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.8K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Obedience

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,...

One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Empathy

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

180
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Mental Health Research
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • First responders face unique occupational stressors.
    • Understanding suicide risk factors in first responders is critical for targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare lifetime suicidal ideation and suicide capability between first responders and non-first responders.
    • To examine differences in suicidal ideation and capability among subgroups of first responders, including law enforcement officers (LEOs), emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and firefighters.

    Main Methods:

    • A large online study (n=3,500) collected data from participants demographically matched to the 2010 US census.
    • Binary and multinomial logistic regressions were used to analyze differences between groups.

    Main Results:

    • First responders reported significantly higher lifetime suicidal ideation and greater acquired, practical, and dispositional suicide capability compared to non-first responders.
    • No significant differences in suicidal ideation or capability were found between first responders with and without military affiliation.
    • Law enforcement officers reported higher lifetime suicidal ideation than emergency medical technicians, though all subgroups showed similar suicide capability.

    Conclusions:

    • First responders exhibit higher rates of suicidal ideation and suicide capability, necessitating further investigation into underlying personal and occupational factors.
    • The findings underscore the importance of tailored mental health support and suicide prevention strategies for first responder populations.
    • This study contributes to a better understanding of suicide risk within the first responder community.
