Research Problem/Question: The researchers had based their research on the argument that violent especially shooting video games have become most important leisure activity among youth. With the increasing praise for such games in media and public, these games have stimulated aggressive behavior and feelings of inattention towards friends and family as the users have perceived these animated characters as social beings and they are not actively involved in social activities. Apart from enjoyment and stimulation of aggressive behavior, youths feel no wrong in killing; rather they enjoy playing these games. However, very little research has been done to assess ...

Psychology

In their research “The emotional roots of conspiratorial perceptions, system justification, and belief in the paranormal”, Whitson, Galinsky and Kay (2014) addressed human emotions that are linked with the uncertainty of the world. They suggest a hypothesis that these emotions (such as fear, surprise, hope, etc.) should promote the need to endow the world with structure and order using a variety of compensatory measures.
The reason to conduct the experiments described in the article was a desire to prove that the certainty of the emotions plays a greater role than its valence in the process of activating compensatory control. Moreover, the experiments ...

According to Kyla Boyse, RN (2013) in her article “Developmental Milestones, University of Michigan Health Systems, “Child development refers to how a child becomes able to do more complex things as they get older.” This process of development involves cognitive development, social and emotional development, speech and language development and learning and mastering fine motor skills. Between the ages of 6 to 12 a child is expected to have developed strong physical, emotional and mental abilities. Although all children are expected to go through the same developmental stages not all of them develop the same way ...

The human body still amazes me every time I encounter new things. When I was younger, I did not care of how my body in its smallest parts can react. What was important then was I eat whenever I am hungry. I drink water when I feel thirsty. I seek for a good past time when I get bored. I was never interested as to why was I feeling those things? Reading “Physiological and Neurological Needs” enlightened me on what is going on inside me that triggers what I feel.
I was hooked with the part of the reading ...

The research focuses on answering two broad research questions.

The brain is a highly complex organ, with a network of nerve cells that serve as a starting point for everything an individual senses, thinks, and ultimately the actions carried out. There are two responses that the brain is responsible for carrying out: conscious responses and autonomic responses, with fear being an example of the latter due to it usually being triggered unconsciously, leaving the individual to realize that the fear reaction has been triggered only after a myriad of physical responses have occurred (Debiec & LeDoux, 2004).
While the experience of fear is rather autonomic, ...

Researchers, Frans de Waal, PhD and Zanna Clay, PhD both from the Living Links Center at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center Emory University have postulated the theory supporting the linkage. From their recent study of the bonobo primates in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a sanctuary near Kinshasa, striking similarities between the emotional development of the bonobos and children were observed. From the results of the study, it became evident that the great apes had a ...

The article ‘The theory of moral sentiments’ depicts and provides illustrations of the sentiments and feelings that people have in different situations and when dealing with different individuals. For example, the feelings of sympathy, pity and compassion where people generate emotions and feeling for the misery of other people. This sentiment depicts the human nature of passion for others and it is among the common laws of the society. Therefore, human beings have the fellow-feeling when others are facing misery. The fellow-feeling corresponds with the feelings of gratitude towards faithful friends who did not depart a person in their difficulties. ...

Emotional intelligence in nursing is the ability to process emotions, understanding and assimilations, and manage emotions.

This makes my opinion on the most influencing and aspiring speaker from his speeches to be martin Luther King junior. Drawing some examples from various speeches, this man appears to have had his culture at heart. In one of the speeches, he gave a narration of killings in Alabama and Mississippi while the Africans are asked by the government to remain nonviolent. He moves further to accept that Africans were being used as lifeless beings only to be used by the whites as less human.
On the aspect of aspiration to the people, this leader appears to be glued ...

Speakers who are distinctly blessed with the art of speaking have a way of communicating that with no doubt many people identify with.

He could also point out facts without fear of being intimidated neither by the society nor by the government.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a skill that identifies and governs the emotions of an individual, or groups. EI also helps in understanding the emotional needs of other people, creates a sense of self-awareness and determines people skills. The skills, knowledge and proficiency of an individual are more valuable than EI. In teamwork the team members are responsible to maintain healthy relations with sub-ordinates; hence it becomes a necessity to analyze how individuals comprehend and cope with emotional intelligence that can influence the collective and team effectiveness. Expertise and cognitive function are intertwined, in turn impacting on the emotional component of teamwork (Mccallin & ...

Parents are usually the most influential people in a child’s life. The involvement of a parent affects a child’s social and emotional development. Parents control the appropriate and inappropriate social behaviors that their children learn, such as self-control, empathy, cooperation, and respect for others. These being the case, a missing parent can negatively affects a child’s emotional and social development since there is only one parent doing the work of what many other children have two people engaging in completing. A disproportionate number of ethnic minority children of low socio-economic status live in single-parent households in the United States. According to ...

1 Introduction
Emotional intelligence is a concept that has fast gained popularity in the corporate world. Where once, Intelligence Quotient or IQ was given predominance when judging a person’s leadership ability, today, Emotional Quotient or EQ is considered to be equally important for one to be a good leader. Wechsler defined intelligence as “the aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his environment” . Emotional intelligence, earlier referred to as social intelligence, is associated with the relationships that one develops with the constituents of one’s environment. To date, the ...

The author of the article has defined emotions in numerous ways, and he has accepted that emotions can be described as facial expression, subjective and physiology experiences. I strongly agree with this description since emotions are also referred to as feelings and merely a collection of experiences like grief, joy, love, hate, panic, trust, joy and fear. Since emotions are a specific response to a particular occurrence which usual takes a shorter duration, the author can be justified as being right in the description of the emotions as a physiological experience. In this case the emotions results due to persons physiological response, like when ...

Emotions are mental states than take place within the mind of an organism. A human being according to various gurus in psychology is just but an advanced animal. The human being can tell good things from bad ones. Likewise, the human body can tell good feelings from the distasteful emotions. Such feelings as joy, anger and sadness can occur within a person’s psychological borders within a small span of time as long as such an individual is subjected to situations that cause such changes. The role of emotions has been successfully explained by a number of social scientists and experts of psychology. ...

When the going gets tough, the tough get going—and going, and going until, they snap. People who work in law enforcement must be tough to carry out and overcome the demands of their jobs; but no matter how tough they are, people in law enforcement suffer from stress. Unfortunately, toughness is an adaptation to this type of job, and toughness often acts as a barrier when it comes for the “tough” to seek help for themselves.

Article Critique: Masking Poor Communication

People often assume that close relationships are based on good communication. However, this may not always be true. We develop close relations with others due to different factors and only one of them is good communication. Children are friends with those that they go to school with, adults with some coworkers and those are people that we did not choose to go to school with, or to work with. We are close to them because we spend a lot of time together and share similar interests. In order to understand each other we need something more than closeness, we need ...

Analysis

Ross and Davies (1) looked at the issue of Attributing to Positive and Negative Outcomes in sporting. This was done using two different case studies. The first case sought to establish that attribution can occur in absence of any prompting. The assumption for this study was that the athletes would not give an attribution unless prompted to do so. It also assumed that more people are likely to give explanations for negative results than for good outcomes. This had to be proven through the study.

The second case study aimed at identifying whether attribution could be picked from the ...

Leading in the present moment

Leadership is often related to this one term that almost solely necessitates the existence of leadership: vision. A vision, by definition, relates to the state of the future, but leadership is an activity, an ability or quality that does not carry a time factor and hence it is always supposed to be current. A leader’s job is to integrate the vision of the future into the present activities while also understanding and learning through the conditions and experiences of the past. In that regard, it is extremely vital for a leader to engage in present moment thinking, in its purest ...

You can tell a lot about a person merely by what their movements and actions are telling you; these ‘channels’ of the body are what express the mind’s emotional state, and help to judge someone’s personality, and whether something is affecting their state of mind. When someone typically tries to figure out what someone’s emotional state may be, three determinants are used; the emotional state of the observer, the emotional state of the observed, and the information available to the observer by which he is making his analysis. These channels of the body are what provide the information ...

Although some critics despised melodrama for its emotional exaggeration, it is undeniably true that both classic culture and popular culture have somehow applied the characteristics of melodrama as emotional rhetoric. The purpose of this paper is to establish empathy between the emotions of the visual image and the audience. Moreover, another purpose is to serve as either authority or the artist’s livelihood. For example, the religious art during medieval times sought to make people cry over the suffering of Jesus with the elements of horror and pity while the religious art during the Renaissance sought to deliver a ...

Review of “Resilience and Vulnerability to Daily Stressors Assessed via Diary Methods” by David M. Almeida.

They may also refer to more unexpected small occurrences – such as arguments with children, unexpected work deadlines, and malfunctioning computers – that disrupt daily life” (Almeida, 2005). Almeida also distinguishes between these daily stressors and major events that occur in peoples’ lives. The ...

Summary

Because of the prevalence of spousal emotional abuse, especially on women, it is considered as a significant societal problem that must be faced. According to several researchers, such as Dutton, Painter, Sackett and Saunders, psychological abuse leads to “serious negative psychological outcomes for the abused partner” (as cited in Reed and Enright, 2006). These effects include depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, learned helplessness, resentment, and low self-esteem. However, no kind of treatment has been empirically validated to be effective. One of the available treatments for the negative effects of spousal abuse is known as the forgiveness therapy. ...

The contemporary cultural milieu exudes a permissive attitude to sexuality and this pattern is also reflected in the popular culture and media portraitures of sexual behavior. It has also been noted that college students have erroneous notions regarding sexual norms which get influenced by the perception and influence of media.

Cultural shifts in dating have shown transformations with time and it was propagated that sexual behavior is not bound by the context of marital union.

The study by Spielmann et al. (2013) was created in order to investigate how the myth that single people suffer from their loneliness affects the feelings of the singles. This myth has existed at all times and has been particularly actual for women (Spielmann et al. 1049). As a result, many people are afraid to be alone so much that settle for less in relationships not to be alone at all.

Morality is essential to the stability of a nation or an organization. In fact, lack thereof leads to the development of uncertainty among individuals and this situation compromises peace. With this in mind, it is worth acknowledging the fact that David Foster raises his ethical concerns about the consumption of lobsters.

He mentions, “Is it all right to boil a sentient creature alive just for our gustatory pleasure?” This statement forms the ...

The title indicates that the article is about morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. However, Chen fails to specify the aspect of morale and role strain that the article seeks to deal with in the title. For instance, the title would have been more specific if it were stated as follows: causes of morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. In this case, a reader would be able to tell that the article deals with the causes of morale and role strain. It therefore follows that the title of ...

While it remains debatable that money cannot buy happiness, money certainly can buy quality mental health medications and services. It also may buy a sense of feeling good about one’s self – or at least feeling better in comparison to poorer people. Living in poverty and living with a mental health issue are often comorbidities. Common mental disorders (CMD) such as major depression and anxiety are treatable only if a person suffering from these disorders is able to get access to mental health care. Sadly, this is not often the case for those living at the poverty level or homelessness, no matter ...
