Excessive crying and baby tantrums are some of the ways infants express their anxiety. However, the greatest concern is the source of their anxiety at this young age.

The concept of learned helplessness is ultimately a condition in which the specified animal or a human being learns to behave in a particular manner that is unique from the others. The character trait that a person learns becomes mutually embedded in ones behaviour hence becomes helpless in the context of trying to avoid over the same. A person learns with time to appreciate the positive rewards from the behaviour and clings to it.
The condition arises when a person is continuously subjected in an aversive stimulus. The stimulus should be in the overview that one cannot escape from the quagmire hence an ...

Literature Review

Sexuality and gender are social constructs, which may differ depending on the norms of society (Reis & Carothers, 2014). In a heterocentric society, certain attributes are reserved to describe either male or female individuals, with characteristics such as aggressive and strong being relegated to males and women being considered as more caring and emotional (Reis & Carothers, 2014). However, not all individuals fit neatly within the categories dictated by society and the challenges of individuals who are treated as “outliers” of society’s norm can be overwhelming, leading to emotional and physical distress, bullying, and social inequalities that have the ability to impact ...

Psychology's Role in the Workplace: Promoting Well-Being and Raising Awareness

Any psychologically healthy business should foster its employees into the well-being while boosting organizational performance and productivity.

You should note that there is no basic approach to creating an emotionally healthy workplace. Accomplishment of this goal is based, in part, in addressing the problems unique to the organization and drawing awareness to programs and insurance policies to meet their employee’s needs. One problem in the workplace is stress. This may ...

Historical Overview on the Development of Learning Theories

There are several theories that describe how a person learns. These theories stem from the fact that the learning ability of one person is unique from the other. Learning is a relatively permanent modification in behavior to include the observed activity and the internal processes involved such as thinking, attitudes and emotions. Some studies also include motivation as part of the definition of the learning process. The manifestations of learning cannot be noticed immediately in the observable behavior of an individual. However, the manifestation takes place after the educational program is introduced to the person (Dunn, 2002).
The origins of ...

In the 1960s, following John Bolby’s article The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child, many psychoanalytic figures criticised his work. They claimed that attachment theory was “mechanic, nondynamic, and explicated according to thorough misunderstandings of psychoanalytic theory” (Fonagy, 2001, page 1, p2). Critiques felt that Bowlby treated his human subjects like animals, and used too many labels and categories when reporting on experiment results.
When examining the attachment theory today and, in particular, Mary Ainsworth’s Strange Situation experiment, it does appear that the critiques’ points were valid. The personalities and behaviours of human beings are extremely diverse, ...

Psychology

Parental death in childhood is a traumatic experience for any child. Each child handles the passing of a parent differently and the ability to experience normal grief can depend on experiences before the death. Some children need no professional help after the death and seem to handle the tragedy by the normal grief process. Others have problems with depression or anxiety in the short-term; some children ‘act out’ with inappropriate behavior. The long-term consequences of the loss of a parent in childhood can be very strong; so strong that the consequences may be carried on into adulthood.

The intensity of the impact of childhood ...

Mental Health Issues Influencing Academic Performance amongst Students in Australia

It is in the nation’s best interest that youth complete as high a level of education as they are capable because dropping out of school can greatly diminish an individual’s chances in life and the ability to contribute to the community. Indeed, participation in tertiary education promotes national economy and innovation (Wierenga, Landstedt, & Wyn 2013, p. 3). The factors that compromise a young person’s ability to obtain a tertiary level education are socioeconomic disadvantage, rural location, and being an indigenous Australian (Wierenga, Landstedt & Wyn 2013, p. 4).

Tricyclic antidepressants vs Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) in treatment of Depression

In recent decades, SSRIs have become the first-choice treatment for depression. The efficacy and acceptability, as well as cost-efficiency of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) versus the older tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) are studied by many researchers. Most of scholars agree that the both classes of antidepressants are almost equally efficient (Marton, 2003.) According to Marton (2003), a small trend towards greater efficacy of TCAs was found when the outcome was measured in terms of depression scales, and towards SSRIs – in terms of global impression scores.
But Faravelli and colleagues (2003) argue that in most studied cases, ...

This book, along with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, demonstrate early examples of Gothic fiction. In particular, however, Vathek can be cited as an example of queer Gothic fiction; as Gothic literature deals greatly with the unknown, Vathek's journeys and the characters he meets along the way can be interpreted as homosexual (or at least ...

Parent’s Influences and Responses to Children’s Risk-taking in Outdoor Play

Introduction
Parents play an integral role in guiding their children in making crucial decisions in life, especially when it comes to risk taking. Although in most instances children depend on their direct experiences to react appropriately to risky situations it is apparent that parents also influence their ability to make sound decisions in such situations. When children are young most of these decisions are influenced by their parents since they control most of the activities they engage in. As children grow older, they start gaining independence in handling several tasks thus they take a greater responsibility for their decisions. ...

Public disturbance is actions that violate public order or moral or other behaviour that is interpreted as a threat to the normal routine of life of the society.

Latest statistics show that almost 80% of crimes are committed while intoxicated. Public disturbance under the influence of alcohol unfortunately occurs quite often. Control over one's own behaviour is reduced; the person is ...
