Parental use of aggressive discipline, specifically corporal punishment (CP) and psychological aggression (PA), has been shown to increase the risk of problem behaviours in children and adolescents. A major gap in the research concerns our lack of understanding regarding how CP and PA contribute to adverse development in adulthood. Because these techniques do not occur in isolation, a number of protective factors were also considered. Both CP and PA were associated with lower levels of parental warmth/support and responsiveness, and more inconsistency in discipline; whereas high induction was associted with more frequent CP and PA. CP predicted later partner violence, and PA predicted anxiety and lower self-esteem in adulthood, even after the effects of positive parenting were considered. These findings suggest that not only do CP and PA tend to occur within environments that are less conducive to positive development, but also predict problematic outcomes in adulthood even after protective factors are considered.

This study provided the first direct test of the cognitive underpinnings of the attention-allocation model and attempted to replicate and extend past behavioral findings for this model as an explanation for alcohol-related aggression. Men were randomly assigned to a beverage (Alcohol, No-Alcohol Control) and a distraction (Moderate Distraction, No Distraction) condition. All men were provoked by a male confederate and completed a dot probe task and a laboratory aggression task without distraction or while presented with a moderate distraction task. Results indicated that intoxicated men whose attention was distracted displayed significantly lower levels of aggression bias and enacted significantly less physical aggression than intoxicated men whose attention was not distracted. However, aggression bias did not account for the lower levels of alcohol-related aggression in the distraction, relative to the no-distraction, condition. Discussion focused on how these data inform intervention programming for alcohol-related aggression.

Tyrimo tikslas – atskleisti psichikos sveikatos slaugytojų patiriamos agresijos raišką psichiatrijos profilio ligoninėse. Tyrimo uždaviniai: ištirti psichikos sveikatos slaugytojų patiriamos agresijos pobūdį ir dažnumą Respublikinėse psichiatrijos profilio ligoninėse; Išsiaiškinti psichikos sveikatos slaugytojų elgesį patiriant agresyvaus paciento smurtą; Nustatyti psichikos ligas kuriomis sergantys pacientai dažniausiai naudoja agresiją prieš psichikos sveikatos slaugytojus. Tyrimo metodas – tyrimas buvo atliktas 2013 m. vasario - balandžio mėnesiais. Tyrimo metu buvo naudotas autoriaus Nico Oud originalus klausimynas POPAS (angl. Perception of Prevalence of Aggression Scale) ir papildomai sudarytas klausimynas. Tyrimo metu buvo apklausti 300 psichikos sveikatos slaugytojų dirbančių Respublikinėse psichiatrijos profilio ligoninėse. Tyrimo rezultatai. Tyrimo rezultatai rodo, kad dažniausiai pasireiškianti agresijos forma - žodinė agresija ir grasinanti žodinė agresija, žeminantis agresyvus pacientų elgesys ir pasireiškia dažnai ar labai dažnai. Pacientų sunkus fizinis smurtas, seksualinis priekabiavimas, įvykusios savižudybės bei bandymai nusižudyti pasireiškia dažnai ir labai dažnai. Labai dažnai eidami į palatą, kur yra agresyvus pacientas pranešama kolegoms, o įėję į palatą išlieka tarp paciento ir durų, o jei gali durys paliekamos atidarytos. Stengiasi, kad paciento aplinkoje nebūtų nereikalingų dirgiklių, triukšmo, kurie didintų frustraciją ir mažintų impulsų kontrolę...

Tasks of the research: to explore the types and frequency of aggression suffered by mental care nurses in State’s psychiatric care hospitals; to clarify the behavior of mental care nurses once they experience the violence of an aggressive patient; to determine the mental illnesses which are characteristic to the patients who most often tend to use aggression towards mental care nurses. Method of the research – the research was conducted from February till April, in 2013. An original questionnaire POPAS (Perception of Prevalence of Aggression Scale) suggested by the author Nico Oud was used for the research together with an additionally created questionnaire. 300 mental care nurses working in State’s psychiatric care hospitals were participating in the research. Results of the research. The results of the research have shown that most often the nurses face verbal and threatening verbal aggression, humiliating aggressive patient behavior, which happen often or very often. Severe physical violence from the patients, sexual harassment, suicides and attempts to commit suicides happen often and very often. In many cases nurses inform their colleagues once they go to the ward in which the aggressive patient is hospitalized and once they enter, they stay between the patient and the doors and, if possible, the doors are left open. The nurses seek to ensure... [to full text]
