Meta Analysis of The Relationship Between Corporate Social Responsibility and Tax Aggressiveness

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between corporate social responsibility and tax aggressiveness, with the aim of looking at the firmness of the relationship. Theoretical Framework: This study aims to examine the strength and reliability of the connection between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and aggressive tax dodging actions through the utilization of a meta-analysis methodology. Method: The quantitative method used is a meta-analysis approach of 61 studies and 228 observations. Results and Discussion: The results of this study found a firm relationship between corporate social responsibility and tax aggressiveness. Through a meta-analysis, the results of the negative relationship between CSR and tax agressiveness were obtained. The next result was to confirm that the heterogeneity of previous research results related to CSR, and tax agresiveness was due to the diversity of CSR measurement strategies and characteristics of the state legal system. Research Implications: This research has provided input into the fields of accounting and taxation by giving confidence in the relationship between aggressive tax behavior and the existence of disclosures of social responsibility Originality/Value: This research is one of several studies using a meta-analysis approach. Different from other topics raised using this approach, in this research, the emphasis of the study is on the disclosure of CSR, which is correlated with the degree of the tendency of aggressive tax behavior or activities. The study also uses moderators that have not been used in previous meta-analysis studies, namely state law characteristics.

Collective Aggressivity in Numerical cales

The social reality of conflict (group violence) is now occurring in many spheres of our society, including students who are synonymous with educated groups and prioritize rationality in making decisions. There are several reasons why conflicts between student groups occur. Firstly, the social reality triggers the tendency for students to behave aggressively and individual conflict occurs between students, which then shifts or switches to inter-group conflicts. This is deliberately created so that actors gain sympathy, support, even assistance from members of their group. Secondly, clashes between student groups tend to increase. This is because each conflicting group has seeds of conflict symptoms which at any time give a strong contribution to student’s aggressive behavior, in the form of group prejudice, ethnocentrism, and discrimination. Lastly, when compared with the existing conflict symptoms, group prejudice ranks first in contributing to the emergence of student aggressive behavior tendencies (ry2 = 0.98 or 98%), followed by discrimination (0.96 or 96%), and ethnocentrism (0.94 or 94%).

Hubungan Antara Pengendalian Diri dengan Perilaku Agresif pada Siswa Sekolah Menengah Atas

Education is the basis for individual progress, with education individuals will obtain various information and knowledge that can be used to develop themselves. In the process of developing, there will always be social interactions, so students need guidance to be able to reach this maturity, because there is still a lack of understanding, insight into self, environment, experience and determining direction in life. Adolescents can experience various psychosocial problems such as having a rude attitude, poor performance, anti-social behavior, experiencing depression and anxiety, disruptive behavior, and hostility between friends. One of the problems that can be experienced by adolescents is having aggressive behavior tendencies. Based on observations, some students engage in aggressive behavior such as making fun of, speaking harshly, lying, fighting the teacher, being nosy or disturbing their friends, and withdrawing or skipping school, this is caused by students who are unable to control themselves from aggressive behavior. This research is using descriptive quantitative method. The research instrument is by giving questionnaires to 120 respondents, namely high school students, and analyzed by normality test, linearity test, hypothesis testing. Based on the results of data analysis, the value of rcount 0.2505 > rtable 0.1496, it is concluded that the hypothesis is accepted, meaning that there is a significant relationship between self-control and aggressive behavior towards high school students.

Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid inflammatory markers and human aggression.

A growing body of work suggests that individuals with aggressive behavior and/or aggressive tendencies have evidence of chronic, low level, inflammation as manifested by elevated circulating levels of acute phase reactant proteins and pro-inflammatory cytokines. While animal studies report that direct application of pro-inflammatory proteins in brain increase aggressive behavior, there is no data on the relationship of central levels of these proteins and aggression in human subjects. We simultaneously measured levels of both plasma and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in 77 medically healthy, drug-free, individuals with varying degrees of aggression including 22 individuals with DSM-5 Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). Aggression was assessed using the Life History of Aggression (LHA) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). Plasma and CSF levels of CRP, IL-8, and TNF-α, but not IL-6, correlated significantly with each other. Aggressive individuals with IED displayed elevated plasma, but not CSF, levels of proinflammatory markers and this relationship was specific to IED. Similarly, composite aggression scores correlated significantly with plasma, but not CSF, pro-inflammatory markers. Aggressive behavior in humans is correlated with Plasma, but not CSF, proinflammatory markers despite the observation that these two sets of markers are significantly correlated. Since the direct application of proinflammatory proteins in brains of animals increase aggressive behavior, proinflammatory proteins likely influence brain-based behavior in a manner not reflected in lumbar CSF.

Multivariate growth trajectories of parenting practices in adolescence predicting young adult relationships with parents.

Guided by the life course perspective, this study investigated the developmental antecedents of contact, closeness/warmth, and negativity in young adults' relationships with their parents. Taking the developmental systems approach, we considered interindividual differences in not only initial levels of parenting quality in early adolescence (Grade 6) but also developmental changes in parenting quality across adolescence (Grades 6-12) as predictors of young adult-parent relationship quality. Data were from a large sample of young adults (N = 1,631; Mage = 22.84; 57% female; 90% White; 25% received free/reduced-price school lunch in Grade 6) followed from the fall of Grades 6 to 12 at eight time points, plus a young adult assessment. Using multivariate latent growth curve modeling, we identified a nuanced pattern of predictors of the three relationship dimensions. Higher initial levels of and lower rates of decline in parental involvement across adolescence predicted more young adult contact with mothers and fathers. Higher initial levels of parental warmth and parental involvement, as well as lower rates of decline in parental warmth, predicted greater closeness/warmth with mothers and fathers in young adulthood. Higher initial levels of and lower rates of decline in effective discipline predicted less young adult negativity toward mothers and fathers. These results held even when accounting for important adolescent and young adult covariates (adolescent sex and race, adolescent family income and structure, adolescent aggressive behavior tendencies, young adult living arrangement). The study offers new insights into how parenting practices in adolescence contribute to parent-child relationship in young adulthood. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

Aggressive intentions after social exclusion and their association with loneliness

Both social exclusion and loneliness are aversive experiences that can lead to hostile behavioral reactions, including aggressive behavior. This study aimed to assess whether a social exclusion scenario in the subject’s imagination elicits aggressive reactions towards an excluding person as measured with the hot sauce paradigm. Furthermore, we studied the effect of loneliness on such reactions. In total, 251 subjects (67.7% female; mean age 27.3 ± 9.3 years) participated in this study which was based on an online survey. After trait loneliness was assessed with the UCLA Loneliness scale at baseline, two imaginary scenarios were presented in randomized order, i.e., an exclusion condition (with one of two working colleagues excluding the participant from a social activity) and an inclusion condition (without exclusion). Following each scenario, participants had the task to allocate the amount of hot sauce to each colleague that they find appropriate. Participants distributed significantly more hot sauce to the excluder than to the includers. The amount of hot sauce was significantly correlated with loneliness for all includer interactions (i.e., after the inclusion as well as the exclusion scenario), but not for the interaction with the excluder. Our results support the hypothesis that social exclusion elicits aggressive behavior. Interestingly, the experience of loneliness seems to be associated with an increase in aggressive behavioral tendencies or a lack of their inhibition. The cognitive and/or emotional processes underlying the interplay between social exclusion, loneliness and aggression should be a focus of future research.

FACTORS OF CYBERBULLYING IN ADOLESCENT ENVIRONMENT: THEORETICAL REVIEW

The theoretical framework for understanding the concept of cyberbullying, the combination of the tendency of aggressive behavior and the specifics of the virtual environment in this phenomenon is defined. The results of studies reflecting the connections of cyberbullying with negative phenomena of the emotional sphere, a tendency to suicidal behavior, previous attitudes towards aggression, behavioral disorders and somatic phenomena were analyzed. Patterns of age, gender, and experience of participating in bullying situations as factors of cyberbullying for teenagers have been revealed.

Competitive game motivation and trait aggression among Chinese adolescent players of Glory of the King: The mediating role of avatar identification and game aggression.

Previous studies have shown that competitive video gaming is associated with aggression; however, little is known about the relationship between personal competitive factors and aggression. Thus, we used structural equation modeling to examine the association between competitive game motivation and trait aggression, as well as the potential mediating roles of avatar identification and game aggression, among 1584 (59.66% male; Mage = 14.58 years, SD = 1.49, range = 12-19) Chinese adolescent players of Glory of the King. The results showed that the direct effect of competitive game motivation on trait aggression was statistically significant, as were the indirect effects of competitive motivation-via both avatar identification and game aggression-on the three indicators of aggressive behavioral tendencies in everyday life. These results support the General Aggression Model, suggesting that competitive motivation is a personal factor predicting trait aggression. It contributes to our understanding of the roles of competition in video gamers' real-life aggressive behavior from an individual perspective.

HOW DOES SCARCITY PROMOTION ELEVATE CONSUMER AGGRESSIVITY: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY CONDUCTED ON STUDENTS

Marketers often apply the strategy of scarcity promotion to attract consumer attention to the company’s product. However, this strategy often increases consumer’s destructive, aggressive behaviors. A quantitative approach using the experimental method was thus conducted in this study to reveal the effect of advertisement exposure with scarcity promotion strategy on aggressive consumer response towards the product that the company offered. The results show that advertisements with a scarcity strategy expose one’s perception that other consumers are perceived as threats. This perception arises since the probability of getting the product they want will be decreased when others are running after the same product. Theoretically, this condition will elevate the tendency of aggressive consumer behavior when attaining the product. Three studies with multiple behavioral measurements conducted on STIE YKPN students show destructive responses to the scarcity promotion applied by the company

Solution-focused brief counseling and ABC manipulation technique in self-control training to reduce aggressive behaviour

Aggressive behaviours in the society have been very alarming, including among high school students. To reduce aggressive behaviours, the main effort is to increase self-control. This study is aimed at describing the differences between the effectiveness of solution-focused brief counseling (SFBC) and Self-Control Training with the Antecedent-Behavioral-Consequence (ABC) manipulation technique to reduce students’ aggressive behavior tendencies. The study is a quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest control group design. The population of the study consists of 563 students. The sample selected by the simple random sampling technique amounts to 60 students. The data collection method of the study is a non-test technique. The instrument used for data collection is the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) with 25 statement items. The data are analyzed using ANOVA test. The ANOVA test results show an F value of 348.300 with a significance value of 0.000 (Sig 0.05); so, it can be interpreted that both solution-focused brief counseling (SFBC) and the Self-Control Training with the Antecedent-Behavioral-Consequence (ABC) are effective in reducing aggressive behaviors. However, the ABC self-control training model is found to be more effective. Therefore, guidance and counseling teachers are expected to continue working on self-control training for children, through the ABC self-control training model.

Predicting students’ aggressive behavior by coping mechanisms and interpersonal communication

This study aims to find out the relationship between coping mechanisms and interpersonal communication with aggressive behavior of students of Department of Automotive at SMK PAB 12 Saentis. This type of research is quantitative by involving 93 students as a sample taken with total sampling techniques with the first screening of aggressive behavior tendencies. This study used 3 (three) coping mechanism scales, interpersonal communication scales, and aggressive behavior scales to obtain data analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results showed a negative relationship between coping mechanisms and interpersonal communication with students’ aggressive behavior simultaneously and partially. Coping mechanisms and interpersonal communication can predict the emergence of aggressive behavior of students by 52.8%.

Evaluating anxiety sensitivity as a moderator of misophonia and dimensions of aggression

Misophonia is characterized by increased physiological and emotional reactivity to particular sounds (e.g., chewing), which has been associated with impulsive and aggressive behaviors. To better understand the expression of misophonia, the current study investigated the moderating role of anxiety sensitivity (AS) in the relation between misophonia and facets of aggression (i.e., anger, hostility, verbal aggression, and physical aggression). Participants (N = 470; Mage = 18.68 years; 74.0% female) included college students who endorsed misophonia symptoms and completed online self-report questionnaires. Four regression analyses were conducted to examine the interaction between misophonia symptoms and AS on each aggression facet. Results revealed that significant variance was accounted for in each facet of aggression, with the association between misophonia and anger, hostility, and verbal aggression (respectively) strengthening as increased. This study provides additional support for the association between misophonia and aggressive behavioral tendencies, suggesting AS may operate as a pivotal factor in the expression of anger and aggressive responses in misophonia. These findings implicate AS a potential treatment target that could enhance outcomes for patients struggling with misophonia.

THE ROLE OF EMOTION REGULATION AS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN SELF-ESTEEM AND AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR TENDENCIES IN ADOLESCENT

Many cases of violence occur in schools in Yogyakarta. Many of these cases of violence involve students in the same school. Aggressiveness is a form of violence committed by teenagers in schools, disturbing the community. From previous studies on aggressive behavior tendencies, emotion regulation can be used as a mediator variable in aggressive behavior research. Research conducted reveals that emotion regulation helps a person change negative thoughts into positive ones, so the behavior that appears is constructive, not destructive. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of emotion regulation as a mediator between self-esteem and aggressive behavior tendencies in SMPN A students in Yogyakarta. In this study, emotion regulation is considered necessary in mediating the relationship between self-esteem and aggressive behavior tendencies. This study uses a quantitative survey method. The research subjects were students in grades 8 and 9, totaling 155 students of SMPN A in Yogyakarta and collecting data using a psychological scale measuring instrument. The scales used include the Aggressiveness scale, Self-Esteem Scale, and Emotion Regulation scale. Analysis of the data used is mediation analysis regression. This study found that the role of self-esteem on the tendency of aggressive behavior by controlling emotional regulation was p> 0.05 (p=0.706). The research conducted shows that Emotion Regulation as a Mediator of the Role of Self-Esteem on the Tendency of Aggressive Behavior. Emotion regulation has a fully mediating role.

DNA methylation patterns-based subtype distinction and identification of soft tissue sarcoma prognosis.

Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are heterogeneous at the clinical with a variable tendency of aggressive behavior. In this study, we constructed a specific DNA methylation-based classification to identify the distinct prognosis-subtypes of STSs based on the DNA methylation spectrum from the TCGA database. Eventually, samples were clustered into 4 subgroups, and their survival curves were distinct from each other. Meanwhile, the samples in each subgroup reflected differentially in several clinical features. Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis was also conducted on the genes of the corresponding promoter regions of the above-described specific methylation sites, revealing that these genes were mainly concentrated in certain cancer-associated biological functions and pathways. In addition, we calculated the differences among clustered methylation sites and performed the specific methylation sites with LASSO algorithm. The selection operator algorithm was employed to derive a risk signature model, and a prognostic signature based on these methylation sites performed well for risk stratification in STSs patients. At last, a nomogram consisted of clinical features and risk score was developed for the survival prediction. This study declares that DNA methylation-based STSs subtype classification is highly relevant for future development of personalized therapy as it identifies the prediction value of patient prognosis.

To what extent is psychological resilience protective or ameliorative: Exploring the effects of deployment on the mental health of combat medics.

Exposure to a major traumatic stressor increases the odds of negative mental health and maladaptive behavioral outcomes not only for victims but also for 1st responders and health care professionals who are exposed to the aftermath. This study investigates the extent to which psychological resilience acts as either a Protective (i.e., vaccine-like) or an Ameliorative (i.e., antibiotic-like) factor to reduce the deleterious mental health outcomes associated with exposure to a major stressor. To do so, this pilot study focused on the understudied population of military combat medics, who are exposed to both stressors associated with direct combat and with providing intense battlefield trauma care. Military combat medics who were identified as having deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan shortly after baseline measurements of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and aggressive behavioral tendencies and returned from deployment prior to the follow-up assessment (protective model) were compared to those who returned from deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan shortly before the baseline measurements and were not deployed again prior to the follow-up assessments (ameliorative model). Data were collected on combat experiences to equate the stressor for these 2 samples, and a propensity score matching technique was used to ensure that the 2 samples were similar. The findings provide support for both the protective and the ameliorative models of psychological resilience. Results are discussed in terms of the potential benefits of resilience in mental health programs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

LGG-16. PILOMYXOID ASTROCYTOMA OF THE CERVICAL SPINAL CORD IN A 7-YEAR-OLD ARMENIAN BOY: A CASE REPORT

BACKGROUNDPilomyxoid astrocytoma (PMA) is a glial tumor that occurs predominantly in the hypothalamic-chiasmatic region and rarely in spinal cord. It has similar features as pilocytic astrocytomas, with some distinct histological characteristics and worse prognosis. The 2007 WHO recognized PMA as a Grade II glioma due to its aggressive behavior and dissemination tendency, but according to 2016 version grading of the pilomyxoid variant is under research. Here we report a case with a rare location, aggressive behavior and rapid progression. CASE PRESENTATION: A 7-year-old boy presented with headache, nausea, vomiting. Imaging revealed an intramedullary tumor extending from C2 to C6 with hydrocephalus. A ventriculo-peritoneal shunt and complete surgical resection were performed with significant improvement in the patient’s condition. Histopathological findings were consistent with pilomyxoid variant of pilocytic astrocytoma, with negative BRAF V600E and MGMT. Three months later, the follow-up imaging revealed disease recurrence with leptomeningeal metastases, for which the patient received standard-dose craniospinal irradiation 35.2 Gy with boosts to tumor bed and metastatic sites 49.6 Gy and 54 Gy respectively. 11 months later tumor progression was revealed with new metastatic lesions in the bones. Patient received 6 cycles of chemotherapy with TMZ and Avastin, but continued to suffer disease progression on therapy and he succumbed to his disease at 24 months from diagnosis.CONCLUSIONGiven the rarity of documented patients with spinal pilomyxoid astrocytoma with rapid progression, as well as the lack of certain WHO classification and treatment guidelines, this case report might be useful for development of more efficient treatment strategies.

KECENDERUNGAN POLA PERILAKU AGRESIF DAN EKSPLOSIF REMAJA (STUDY KASUS PERILAKU DELINKUENSI PELAJAR DI YOGYAKARTA, PERSPEKTIF SOSIO-RELIGIUS-EDUKATIF)

This study aims to determine the tendency of aggressive and explosive behavior of adolescents (student delinquency actors) in the Yogyakarta area, which in this case the researchers conducted research at the Sleman Police, Class 1 Child Correctional Center (BAPAS), and the Youth Social Protection and Rehabilitation Center (BPRSR). ) Yogyakarta in Sleman. 
 This qualitative research in collecting data using in-depth interviews / in-dept interviews, observation/observation, and documentation. The data analysis applies Miles and Huberman's theory, with the following steps: data reduction, data display, verification. 
 The results showed that the tendency of adolescent aggressive and explosive behavior had elements of revenge and trial and error. The factors causing aggressive and explosive behavior are caused by the underdevelopment of adolescents regarding the development of social cognition, the development of moral reasoning, and the development of a lack of understanding of religion. Besides that, family attention that is not optimal and the negative influence of "gang" are also factors that greatly influence this aggressive and explosive behavior. The solutions that the researchers offer are strengthening education in the family (the power of family), strengthening religious values, developing skills and there is a follow-up on the guidance program provided from the BPRSR at home, in this case, guided by the family.

Odontogenic keratocyst: Analysis of recurrence by AgNOR, p53 and MDM2 profiling.

Background:Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a clinical entity with characteristic microscopic features, high growth potential and propensity to recur. Aggressive behavior and higher tendency for recurrence have been attributed to greater proliferative activity of epithelial lining. The incidence of recurrence in various reported series ranges from 2.5% to 62%.Objectives:The objective of the study was to investigate the clinical behavior of OKC by evaluating p53, MDM2 expression, AgNOR staining and to ascertain if the expression of these markers correlate with the clinical outcome and tendency for recurrence.Materials and Methods:All recurrent and nonrecurrent OKCs from the archives were included, and sections were subjected to AgNOR staining, p53 and MDM2 immunohistochemical staining.Results and Conclusion:There was a significant difference in the staining pattern of MDM2 and AgNOR in the recurrent group as compared to the nonrecurrent group. The higher expression of these markers in recurrent lesions may be important in order to consider additional surgical interventions to improve prognosis.
