Agresividad en niños y niñas limeños de 6 a 9 años y de nivel socioeconómico bajo y medio alto a través del psicodiagnóstico de Rorschach

Ruggiero-Alfaro, Francesca January 2015 (has links)
Analiza la agresión de 72 niños y niñas entre 6 y 9 años de nivel socioeconómico (NSE) bajo y medio-alto de Lima Metropolitna. El muestreo fue no probabilístico incidental. Se utilizó el Psicodiagnóstico de Rorschach, según el Sistema Compresnsivo de Exner y las variables de agresión planteadas por Baity y Hilsenroth (1999) y definidas por EXner (1994), Holt (1971) y Giacomo y Meloy (1994). Así se encontró que ContAg presenta la medida mas elevada ; se hallaron también diferencias en AG, ContAg y A2 para los niños y diferencias de AgPot en el NSE bajo. Finalmente, se confirmó la asociación teórica de las distintas variables de agresión en dos factores: agresión primaria yagresión secundaria, planteada por Baity y Hilsenroth (1999). / Aggression was analyzed in 72 children between the ages of 6 - 9 years old of low and middle socioeconomic levels in Metropolitan Lima using a non-probability sample. The Rorschach Psychodiagnosis was used, according to Exner's Comprehensive System and the aggression variables proposed by Baity and Hilsenroth (1999) and defined by Exner (1994), Holt (1971), and Gacono and Meloy (1994). Using this methodology, it was discovered that ContAg is the most elevated measure; differences were also found in AG, ContAg, and A2 in children; and differences in AgPot were discovered in children of low socioeconomic levels. Finally, the theoretical association between the distinct variables of aggression was confirmed in two factors: primary aggression and secondary aggression, proposed by Bairy and Hilsenroth (1999). / Tesis

An Exploratory Study of the Relationship between Defensive and Supportive Talk, Verbal Aggressiveness and Communication Climate

Hajdasz, Peter A. January 2012 (has links)
Significant research has investigated Jack Gibb’s model of defensive and supportive communication, but little has explored the influence of the type of talk -- defensive or supportive -- on perceptions of communication climate and the role that verbal aggressiveness may play in influencing both the types of talk and these perceptions. This thesis explored the relationship between defensive and supportive talk, verbal aggressiveness and communication climate using a mixed-method approach. Specifically, the Verbal Aggressiveness Scale was used to group participants for a dyadic problem solving exercise which generated conversational data that was analyzed qualitatively. Then, the Communication Climate Inventory was used to measure participants’ perceptions of the communication climate that emerged in their problem-solving dyad. The findings highlight factors that may influence the perception of communication climate. Examples of supportive talk that builds positive communication climates and limits the effects of verbal aggressiveness and examples of defensive talk that leads to negative communication climates are provided. This research demonstrates that language has an influence on communication climate through the words that shape the complex ways people perceive and understand each other and, interestingly, that the negative impact of defensive communication overrides the positive impact of supportive communication on the emergent communication climate.

Types of aggression used by girls with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Ohan, Jeneva Lee 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis was designed to investigate differences in aggression between girls with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Forty girls with ADHD and 43 girls without ADHD aged 9- to 12- years and their mothers and teachers participated. A multiassessment methodology was used to investigate these differences, employing mothers' reports, teachers' reports, and a laboratory aggression analogue task (a computer game involving simulated girls in other rooms). The results indicated that mothers and teachers saw girls with ADHD as having much higher levels of all types of aggression assessed, including overt, relational, proactive, and reactive aggression, than girls in the control group. On the lab task, girls with ADHD used a strategy that involved more threatening and bragging comments, and social exclusions of their co-players. Expected differences on some of the lab task measures did not emerge. Also, according to mothers, teachers, and the results from the lab task, girls with ADHD were significantly less prosocial than girls in the control group. Where significant group differences had been found, follow-up tests generally indicated that girls with ADHD and comorbid oppositional-defiant disorder (ODD) were more aggressive than girls in the control group, with girls with ADHD but not ODD falling in between. In sum, these results indicate substantial cause for concern for the concurrent and future psychosocial well-being of girls with ADHD. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate

Multiple-respondent anecdotal assessments for behavior disorders: An analysis of interrater agreement and correspondence with a functional analysis and treatment outcomes.

Moore, Heather 12 1900 (has links)
An analysis of interrater agreement across multiple respondents on two anecdotal assessments, the Motivation Assessment Scale (MAS) and the Functional Analysis Screening Tool (FAST), was completed for an individual who displayed aggressive behavior. The results of the assessments indicated high agreement across assessments and respondents that the problem behavior was maintained by social positive reinforcement in the form of contingent delivery of tangible items. By contrast, a subsequent experimental analysis indicated that the behavior was maintained by escape from demands. A treatment was implemented based on the functional analysis outcomes to determine if the functional analysis had correctly identified the maintaining variable of the aberrant behavior. Results of the treatment analysis showed significant reductions in the occurrence of aberrant behavior suggesting that the MAS and FAST may not have accurately identified the maintaining variable of the aberrant behavior.

Gender and violence: A study of inpatients at a forensic psychiatric hospital

Carey, Leslie Sean, Sylvies, Kathie 01 January 2000 (has links)
"Our society has generally viewed women as less aggressive and less likely to commit acts of violence in comparison to men. Statistics show that only 13 per cent of the violent crimes in the United States have been committed by women (Steffensmeier and Allan, 1996). However, employees at psychiatric hospitals often report problems of increased violent behavior among their female inpatients. This perception of the female inpatient population is further complicated by the mixed research findings regarding gender and violence. Considering the possible other environmental causations, gender alone should not prove an accurate variable in addressing violent behavior. Variables such as age, location, time, ethnicity, institutionalization and violence to self as opposed to violence to others will likely show significant relevance. This study will attempt to demonstrate how these other biopsychosocial variables play a role in violence prediction for this group of forensically committed patients other than gender."
