Bullying

8.5K
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...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

28.0K
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...

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

6.5K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Traumatic Memory01:20

Traumatic Memory

161
Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual...

Punishment01:27

Punishment

292
Negative reinforcement and punishment are often confused but serve distinct functions in behavior modification. Reinforcement, whether positive or negative, increases the likelihood of a desired behavior, while punishment decreases it.
Punishment can be positive or negative. Positive punishment involves adding an undesirable stimulus, such as scolding, to decrease a behavior. Negative punishment involves removing a desirable stimulus, such as taking away a favorite toy, to decrease behavior....

System of Forces and Couples01:16

System of Forces and Couples

456
In the analysis of structural systems, it is common to encounter members subjected to various forces and couple moments. Simplifying these systems can make the analysis more manageable and easier to understand. One approach to achieve this simplification is by moving a force to a point O that does not lie on its line of action and adding a couple with a moment equal to the moment of the force about point O.
The principle of transmissibility plays a crucial role in this process. According to...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Criminology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue.
  • Existing frameworks often focus on interpersonal dynamics of abuse.
  • The role of state institutions in perpetuating IPV requires further examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conceptualize and define a distinct form of IPV termed "coercive violence."
  • To explore how abusers leverage state institutions to perpetrate violence against partners.
  • To identify challenges victims/survivors face in seeking justice for institutionally perpetrated abuse.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of intimate partner violence dynamics.
  • Examination of case studies involving state surveillance and intervention in domestic disputes.
  • Literature review on the intersection of IPV and institutional systems.

Main Results:

  • Coercive violence is defined as IPV involving intentional exposure of a partner to state surveillance and violence.
  • Abusers utilize institutions such as the child welfare and criminal legal systems to enact this violence.
  • Victims experience significant barriers to justice due to the institutional nature of the abuse.

Conclusions:

  • Coercive violence represents a novel and under-recognized form of intimate partner abuse.
  • Understanding coercive violence is crucial for developing effective interventions and support for victims.
  • Future research should focus on the prevalence, impact, and prevention of coercive violence.
