Описание:
There are dozens of ways to be emotionally abusive: unwarranted criticism, sighs, a condescending tone of voice, disgusted looks, and "the cold shoulder," to name a few. In some respects, emotional abuse is more devastating than physical abuse because victims are more likely to blame themselves. While a substantial amount of research has focused on physical forms of domestic violence, there has been little information available about more subtle forms of violence such as psychological, emotional, and verbal abuse. This book, a collection of acclaimed articles from the peer-reviewed journal Violence and Victims, addresses how psychological aggression can be reliably measured, as well as the challenges inherent in alleging or proving that these non-physical violent acts have occurred.

Описание: Student Motivation: Perspectives, Improvement Strategies and Challenges opens with a study wherein the authors cross-validate the modified four-scale SALES (when used for the first time with gifted students) in terms of factorial validity and internal consistency reliability. The correlation between the six learning environment scales and each SALES scale was statistically significant, with task orientation being the strongest independent predictor. Theoretical approaches to defining the content of motivation of student learning activities are discussed, and the essence of the concept and theoretical approaches to its study in psychological science is been specified. The authors go on to investigate the key motivating factors affecting the learning of accounting by undergraduates. A research model is developed to link various motivating factors, learning efficacy, as well as academic performance. Next, this compilation examines the effectiveness of applying a variety of teaching strategies in a general education course that involves mathematics in the United Arab Emirates, including the impact on female adults, contribution to life at home and work, and changes to perceptions of mathematics. Lastly, this compilation studies the relationship between the students learning approaches in undergraduate accounting programs and the achievements they have made in their studies. A questionnaire covering learning motives and strategies was adopted from Biggs (1987) to investigate the learning approaches of accounting students.
Описание: This book analyzes the impacts that family control of firms has on capital structure choices, leverage and the risk of financial distress, earnings management practices, and the relation between accounting choices and firm market value. For these purposes, longitudinal data on Italian family and non-family non-financial firms are closely analyzed. The Italian setting is of special interest in this context because family businesses account for 94% of GDP, families are particularly committed to maintaining control of firms, and the economy is bank based rather than market based. The analyses draw on the socioemotional wealth approach, which emphasizes the importance of the stock of emotional value in family firms, in combination with financial theories such as Pecking Order Theory, Trade-off Theory, and Agency Theory. The findings cast significant new light on differences between family and non-family firms and the effects of different forms of family influence. The book will have broad appeal for academics, managers, practitioners, and policymakers.

Описание: Psychological Perspectives on Empowerment opens with a discussion aiming to show how open source software communities indeed nurture empowerment in several senses. However, the authors also show that open source software communities pose several challenges to empowerment. As an example, numerous usability interventions in open source software development are analyzed, in which usability practitioners have offered their expertise. Next, this compilation assesses the extent to which empowerment, role stress, social support and perceived satisfaction of work differ with the implementation of an accreditation program. The relationships between the use of the internet for health purposes and patient empowerment are analyzed using e-health literacy as a mediator variable, providing relevant implications for health organizations. Lastly, the discourses of love and rape in relation to the female body are explored in the context of in The Salesman, an Oscar-winning Iranian film by Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi.

Описание:
The author of the book provides a comprehensive examination of stress, an integral part of people’s lives. In the first chapter, he reviews the 20th-century theories of stress, from biological mechanisms of stress through medical concepts to contemporary models of psychological stress. The second chapter provides a detailed classification of sources of stress, based on physical, chronobiological, psychological and social factors. In the third chapter, the author focuses on reactions to stress and presents them from physiological, emotional, cognitive and behavioral perspectives. The fourth chapter focuses on two theoretical constructs: resistance to stress and coping with stress. The author presents task-oriented, emotion-oriented and avoidance-oriented strategies of coping with stress and underlines the role of social support in dealing with stress.
The author emphasizes the fact that stress has many faces. It can be seen as "eustress", which has an important motivational function, forcing us to make efforts and achieve life goals, or "distress", which distracts us from achieving our goals and comfort of life.
