...Emotional abuse on Women There are various types of violence against women. When someone defines acts of violence towards a woman, majority of the time, physical and sexual assaults comes to our mind. However, violence needs to be narrowed to nonviolent acts such as psychological and emotional abuse. Most people don’t consider emotional abuse a serious matter in comparison to physical abuse. Unfortunately, the wounds from verbal abuse can run just as deep and take longer to heal than the black eyes, bruises or broken bones of physical abuse. It is harder to identify for the victim, the abuser and the environment. The thesis of my presentation is how to understand and recognize emotional abuse on women. Today I will be talking on what emotional abuse is, physical and psychological effects of emotional abuse and the pattern of emotional abuse. What is emotional abuse? Like other forms of violence in relationships, emotional abuse is based on power and control. Most people think emotional abuse is criticizing each other but it is much more than verbal abuse. One could define Emotional abuse as any nonphysical behavior or attitude that is designed to control, intimidate, overpower, demean, punish, or isolate another person through the use of degradation, humiliation, or fear. Emotionally abusive behavior ranges from verbal abuse to more subtle methods like intimidation, manipulation and refusal to be pleased. Emotional abuse accompanies other forms of abuse, but...

Of the four, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) calls emotional abuse “the most challenging and prevalent form of child abuse and neglect…[which] negatively affects the child’s cognitive, social, emotional and/or physical development” (Hibbard et al., 2012). This paper will discuss the biological, psychological and social impacts of emotional abuse on development specific to middle childhood (ages 6-12), introduce...

...Emotional abuse, according to America’s mental health channel is more common than once thought although the exact numbers on its occurrence aren't known due to lack of study. In domestic abuse, about 40% of cases involve violence of women against men. The channel also mentioned that emotional abuse of men is the same as emotional abuse of women: it is acts, including verbal assault, that make a person feel less self-worth or dignity. Emotional abuse of men makes them feel like less of a person just as with women. Male victims of emotional abuse may experience partners that yells, threatens them and try to induce fear Socially isolate them, lie or withhold information, treat them like a child or servant, etc. some people believe that men...

...University of Maryland University College Physical, Behavioral, and Emotional Developmental Effects of Child Sexual Abuse Cathy F. Breingan PSYC355, Child Psychology Joann Altiero, Ph.D. April, 2009 It is difficult to believe that it is a sick world out there full of very sick and vile people. Not only is it bad enough that adults cannot even feel safe anymore out there in the world but the children are just as vulnerable—they are more vulnerable and at risk in more ways than one. One of those vulnerability and risk is child abuse. There are different types of child abuse. They are child neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and the focus of this paper, child sexual abuse. The Darkness to Light Organization “defines child sexual abuse in four distinct ways: (1) Any sexual act between an adult and a minor or between two minors when one exerts power over the other; (2) Forcing, coercing or persuading a child to engage in any type of sexual act. This, of course, includes sexual contact. It also includes non-contact acts such as exhibitionism, exposure to pornography, voyeurism and communication in a sexual manner by phone or internet; (3) an ongoing and traumatic experience for its victims; and (4) a crime punishable by law” (cited in Dove & Miller, 2007). With sexual abuse come negative effects and developmental issues that can carry through adulthood. These effects will haunt the victims for the rest...

Literature Review: Borderline Personality Disorder in university students 1.1 Chapter Overview The literature review first presents the evolution of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) over the past 60 years, highlighting the shift from psychodynamic perspectives to that of biological and environmental determinates. Diagnostic classification of BPD is then examined, and subsequently discussed in terms of sectors of psychopathology that serve to demarcate the disorder. Next, dominant contemporary aetiologies of BPD are discussed, leading to an examination of comorbidities and the prevalence of BPD across populations. The focus of the review shifts to an examination of BPD in university students, commencing with treatments that are both efficacious and suited for delivery in a university context. Then, management of BPD related behaviours on campus are discussed in terms of the role of university staff in providing assistance to students with BPD. The chapter concludes with a summation of considerations in assisting university students with severe symptoms of BPD while on campus. 1.2 Borderline Personality Disorder 1.2.1 The development of the Borderline construct Reliable and valid differentiation of the borderline construct has proved elusive.

He describes current problems and offers research based solutions. The solutions he offers begin in childhood and continue in adulthood. In Part One, Goleman (2005) begins his guided journey into emotional intelligence by sharing the scientific research available on the emotional architecture of the brain. He describes the interconnection of the limbic system and the neocortex. The limbic system regulates feelings of pleasure, desire, learning, and memory. Whereas, the neocortex is in charge of fine tuning, strategizing, and long-term planning. The author...

...All work is emotional work. Discuss. Emotions are described as reactions to objects or situations, whereas emotions in the workplace, for instance emotional labour, are referred to as organisationally desired emotions during interpersonal transactions that employees express. Emotion at work, as describe by many researchers, can push individuals to behave in unusual ways and for this reason, organizations have tried to curb the level of emotion that is displayed at the workplace. Often, the problem that most management teams have is in finding the right balance between the levels of emotions that can be displayed within their company and how stringent should their rules be to ensure that emotional displays are curbed. The management teams across organizations are often accuse of being insensitive towards the needs of their employees, where they have been so occupied with trying to maintain a certain degree of discipline in which they have failed to recognize the emotional issues that creep into individuals. According to Hochschild (1983), emotion involves the physical coordination of the body, the mental planning of actions, and the emotional inducement or suppression of feelings. He defines emotional labour as the use of techniques in emotion management, or emotion work, to control the emotions that are expressed as an integral part of a particular process of labour. Emotional labour are undertaken whenever a job requires one to induce or suppress feeling in order to sustain...

...Introduction To Emotional Intelligence Since the publication of the bestselling book Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman (1995), the topic of emotional intelligence has popularized. Programs seeking to increase emotional intelligence have been implemented in numerous settings, and courses on developing one’s emotional intelligence have been introduced in universities and organizations. But what exactly is emotional intelligence? According to Goleman, emotional intelligence (E.I.) refers to the ability to recognize and regulate emotions in ourselves and others (Goleman, 2001). Peter Salovey and John Mayer initially defined emotional intelligence as: A form of intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions (Salovey & Mayer, 1990). The current characterization and the most widely accepted. Emotional intelligence is thus defined as: The ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thought, understand emotions, and to regulate emotions to promote personal growth (Mayer & Salovey, 1997). This section will review the emotional intelligence literature. First, description of two models of emotional intelligence is outlined. Second, research on the gender and age differences in emotional intelligence will be discussed. Third, the application of emotional intelligence to everyday living will be explored.

...Childhood physical and sexual abuse has long been recognized as detrimental to the development of those subjected to it. This paper will outline some of the damaging effects of maltreatment on learning and cognitive processing, the difficulties of assessing risk in children who have been maltreated, and summarize the theoretical basis for the present study. A great deal of research has focused on re-victimization, the likelihood of victims to become abusers and the long-term negative psychological and physical effects that abuse has on people (Sunday, Kline, Labruna, Pelcovitz, Salzinger, & Kaplan, 2011; Easton, Coohey, O’Leary, Zhang, & Hua, 2010; Garrido, Culhane, Petrenko, & Taussig, 2011; Loeb, Gaines, Wyatt, Zhang, & Liu, 2010). Child abuse may lead to internalizing behaviors and externalizing behaviors (Buckner, Bearslee and Bassuk, 2004; Feiring, Simon & Cleland, 2007; Moylan, Herrenkohl, Sousa, Tajima, Herrenkohl, & Russo, 2010). Internalizing behaviors include emotional issues such as posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. Externalizing behaviors include actions such as aggression and delinquent behaviors. All of these internal and external conflicts can severely damage a child’s ability to navigate a variety of social contexts which may in turn decrease their likelihood of thriving within an academic environment. Previous research has found that children who are maltreated tend to have overall lower levels of intelligence, higher instances of learning...

...spend time developing a team’s emotional intelligence (EI)? Why or why not? What would be the advantages/disadvantages? Discuss specific circumstances/influences/parameters that may impact a leader’s decision to spend time fostering the development of EI. Do you think it is appropriate for a leader to spend time developing a team’s emotional intelligence (EI)? Why or why not? Having the ability to identify emotions is one of the factors in emotional intelligence. It is absolutely important that leaders should spend time to developing a team’s emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence plays a vital part on how we deal with others. The benefit of emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive, identify, understand and successfully manage emotion in self and others (Daft, 2008). The ability to perceive emotions means correctly identifying one’s feelings or emotions. We need to be observant and sensitive on one’s facial expression and body language as these can tell us what the other person feels without him/her saying a word. Understanding emotions is another factor in emotional intelligence. This is the ability to analyze the perceived emotions of other person and interpret what it means. Not all people have this ability. Emotional intelligence is managing emotions. This is the most important factor in emotional intelligence. This is the ability to control your emotions and respond appropriately to others. Building a strong base of emotional intelligence allows leaders...

...Social Change Message & Individual Impact Matt Kramer Walden University Communication for Social Change Dr. Dorcas Francisco May 12, 2013 At this time, research on the hypothesis of predatory leadership (PL) indicates that one to four percent of the general population, identified as narcissistic and/or psychopathic, is responsible for initiating and sustaining the majority of humanity’s greatest problems including war, genocide, slavery, poverty, famine and oppressive/exploitive economic practices. Independent researchers confirm that over fifty percent of violent crimes are committed by psychopaths (Hare, 1999). Furthermore, indications are that the pathology is not limited to any particular race, class, ethnicity or gender. Long term consequences of PL include political and military campaigns that cause divisions between particular groups of people as a means for controlling the population and for inciting wars as part of political and economic agendas; the use of rape, slavery and child soldiers as military tactics (Tyne, 2008); patriarchal norms limiting opportunities for women; social barriers limiting educational and employment opportunities for minorities, and harsh practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM) honor killings and the use of morality police are rationalized as culturally legitimate and relevant (Kazem, 2013). Current research suggests that general public awareness of the nature and impact of PL upon the evolution of civilization is either...

...decisions are made, how managers are able to motivate their employees to increase productivity, and how conflicts and negotiations are handled. It stands to reason that if employees are happy and enjoy coming to work then they will be more productive. According to Barsade and Gibson, “…the evidence is overwhelming that experiencing and expressing positive emotions and moods tends to enhance performance at individual, group, and organizational levels” (Barsade & Gibson, 2007). Frost describes a mechanism of “emotional contagion” where when the leaders express positive emotions, the staff will be influenced by this and the outcomes tend to be positive (Frost, 2004). It would stand to reason then, that in a company with displays of negative emotions, the opposite would result. Affect is an umbrella term used by Barsade and Gibson as a range of discrete emotions (fear, anger, joy), moods (cheerful, sad), dispositional traits (negative, upbeat) and even emotional intelligence (understanding other people’s feelings). The following chart illustrates the Model of Affect. (Barsade & Gibson, 2007). On this chart the x axis is a measure of pleasantness and the y axis measures energy. It would make sense that the top right quadrant would represent a successful company and that the bottom left quadrant would represent a company...

...F Primal Leadership: The Hidden Driver of Great Performance hat most influences your company’s bottom-line performance? The answer will surprise you—and make perfect sense: It’s a leader’s own mood. Executives’ emotional intelligence—their selfawareness, empathy, rapport with others—has clear links to their own performance. But new research shows that a leader’s emotional style also drives everyone else’s moods and behaviors—through a neurological process called mood contagion. It’s akin to “Smile and the whole world smiles with you.” W Emotional intelligence travels through an organization like electricity over telephone wires. Depressed, ruthless bosses create toxic organizations filled with negative underachievers. But if you’re an upbeat, inspirational leader, you cultivate positive employees who embrace and surmount even the toughest challenges. Emotional leadership isn’t just putting on a game face every day. It means understanding your impact on others—then adjusting your style accordingly. A difficult process of self-discovery—but essential before you can tackle your leadership responsibilities. T H E I D E A AT W O R K STRENGTHENING YOUR EMOTIONAL LEADERSHIP Since few people have the guts to tell you the truth about your emotional impact, you must discover it on your own. The following process can help. It’s based on brain science, as well as years of field research with executives. Use these steps to rewire...
