Aggression01:47

Aggression

27.9K
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...

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

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...

Ecological Disturbance02:26

Ecological Disturbance

17.4K
An ecological disturbance is a temporary disruption in the environment resulting from abiotic, biotic, or anthropogenic factors, causing a pronounced change in an ecosystem. The impact of an ecological disturbance, which can depend on its intensity, frequency, and spatial distribution, plays a significant role in shaping the species diversity within the ecosystem.

Types of Quasi-intentional Torts in Healthcare
Quasi-intentional torts in healthcare involve acts where intent is not directed to harm an individual but results in harm due to careless or reckless speech.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Criminology
  • Climate Change Impacts
  • Social Behavior Studies

Background:

  • Climate change intensifies extreme weather events globally.
  • Understanding weather's impact on social behavior, particularly crime, is crucial.
  • Limited research exists on weather-crime correlations in non-temperate, southern climates, and longitudinal studies controlling for crime trends are scarce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between weather variables and violent crime.
  • To analyze assault-related incidents across different Köppen climate classifications in Queensland, Australia.
  • To address the gap in longitudinal research on weather and violence in non-temperate regions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 12 years of assault-related incident data from Queensland, Australia.
  • Controlled for trend deviations in temperature and rainfall.
  • Examined correlations across temperate, tropical, and arid climate zones.

Main Results:

  • Identified significant correlations between weather patterns and violent crime.
  • Findings varied across different climate classifications within Queensland.
  • The study provides empirical evidence on weather's influence on violence in diverse climatic conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Weather significantly impacts violent crime rates, with regional variations.
  • This research contributes vital insights for understanding climate change's effect on social behavior.
  • The findings are applicable to public safety strategies in areas facing extreme weather and diverse climates.
