Untimely Optimism: International Attention, Palestinian Disappointment, and the Persistence of Commitment

ABSTRACT: This article considers the simultaneous experience and expression of disappointment and belief, and of exhaustion and commitment, in Palestinian engagement with the international community and international institutions in the years since 1948. This problem is not just a Palestinian one. Drawing from archival and ethnographic research on Palestine conducted over, and about, many years and locations, the article proposes untimely optimism as a concept to elucidate how people can sustain commitments to institutions whose failures they know well. The concept also reveals what may be accomplished through maintaining such commitment, even within a general context of failure and betrayal. Untimeliness does not always generate optimism—it frequently does not—but it may nonetheless be a prerequisite for optimism "at the end of the world."

Fraud Behavior in Perspective Human Resource Development

Purpose: This study aims at finding out how the perspective of human resource development is in understanding and interpreting fraud behavior based on the informants' awareness of the state civil apparatus. Theoretical framework: Fraud behavior that will be investigated by researchers is fraud behavior which is the lowest or minor violation in the Human Resources and Human Resources Development Agency, but as a result that is not handled and resolved then the violation increases to moderate and high or severe which can threaten or provide opportunities for the country's civil apparatus likely to be dishonorably discharged. This means that prevention and opportunities to overcome them are not found holistically and comprehensively. For this reason, using the perspective of human resource development to be studied is expected to contribute, especially for the state civil apparatus to focus on developing themselves. Because when a person focuses on developing himself then cheating behavior will not be done because the concerned focus on developing himself because he already knows his potential. Design/methodology/approach: This research uses a phenomenological qualitative research method. Findings: The results of this study indicate that the perpetrators of fraud interpret fraud behavior as an expression of disappointment and dissatisfaction and consider this as something humanist under pressure because it is triggered by the dilemmatic conditions they face. In this case, the perspective of human resource development has three main components, namely the economic, psychological and system dimensions which are based on the ethics of human resource development as a complement to the three components. Research, Practical & Social implications: The researcher elaborates and adds the perspective of developing human resources with fraudulent behavior as an effort to prevent this fraudulent behavior from occurring. Originality/value: The researcher adds that integrity is an additional table leg as the implementation of fraudulent behavior.

TINDAK TUTUR EKSPRESIF PADA KOLOM KOMENTAR YOUTUBE ROCKY GERUNG “GUBERNUR NTT BIKIN HEBOH, PERINTAHKAN SISWA SMA MASUK JAM 5 PAGI. SALAH PAHAM DUNIA PENDIDIKAN”

The tendency of someone to express expressive speech on social media is the background in this study. Many users express themselves by commenting on someone's account video uploads. The purpose of this study was to find out and understand the forms of expressive speech acts in the Rocky Gerung Youtube comments column entitled “The Governor of NTT Makes a Scene, Orders High School Students to Enter at 5 in the Morning. Misunderstanding of the World of Education”. The theory of expressive speech acts in this study is the combined theory of Searle, Nadar, Leech, and Tarigan. The approach in this research is a qualitative approach with content analysis method. The source of the data in this study is a comment on Rocky Gerung's Youtube "The Governor of NTT Makes a Thrill, Orders High School Students to Enter at 5 in the Morning. Misunderstanding of the World of Education”. The data used are expressive speech acts contained in the comments. Data collection techniques used are observing, documenting, and taking notes. The collected data were then analyzed using the Burhan Bungin analysis technique. Based on the results of the study, 156 utterances were found which were identified as expressive speech acts. The most frequent speech acts were expressive speech acts of blaming because the policies set were contradictory so that people expressed their psychological attitudes in the form of blaming comments, while the speech acts that were not found from the results of the analysis were expressive speech acts of interrupting, welcoming, forgiving, condolences, and accusing. The analysis also found new data findings, namely: contempt, support, expressions of disappointment, surprise, and sadness, as well as found several non-literal speech acts with the utterances spoken.

Investment Protection Under the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement: Limited but Predictable?

After ten months of intense negotiations, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) was concluded on 24 December 2020. The TCA runs to 1,246 pages and covers what may be the broadest range of issues ever to be addressed within an international trade agreement. However, the tca’s limited investment protection provisions have been met with perplexity and expressions of disappointment among commentators. In particular, the limited set of substantive investment protections and the absence of an investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism have been viewed as something of a missed opportunity, particularly as the EU and the UK have agreed to more expansive investment chapters in recent trade agreements with third parties. Why did the UK and the EU ultimately limit the scope of investment protection and exclude ISDS under the TCA? This article examines this question by analysing the key features of the tca’s investment chapter and tracing the underlying investment policy dynamics, including the UK’s and the EU’s respective negotiating positions that led to the tca’s circumscribed investment chapter. This article also considers the significance and potential implications of the TCA for the UK’s and the EU’s respective investment policies going forward.

The interpersonal effects of distinct emotions in online reviews

ABSTRACT Emotional expressions in online reviews affect reviews’ informative value. By comparing high and low arousal emotions with a negative and positive valence, the current research demonstrates that the effects of emotional expressions in online reviews are determined not by the level of arousal, but by the perceived rationality of the reviewer and the perceived appropriateness of the emotional expression. In a lab experiment (N = 242) among university students, and an online experiment (N = 252) on Prolific Academic involving native English speakers, participants read an online restaurant review with the negative emotions anger, disappointment, or disgust, or with the positive emotions happiness, excitement, or contentment. Results showed that readers of online reviews considered expressions of anger more inappropriate than expressions of disappointment or disgust; this led them to judge the reviewer as more irrational, which decreased the informative value of the review. As a consequence, angry reviews led to less negative restaurant evaluations and stronger intentions to visit the restaurant than reviews expressing disappointment or disgust. We found no differences between contentment and happiness (Study 1), or between contentment and excitement (Study 2). Our findings underscore the importance of studying the effects of discrete emotions in online reviews.

The Students' Perspective Towards YouTube as the Replacement of Lecturer in Nahwu Learning

The existence of YouTube social media as a medium to support the Arabic learning process has been widely discussed by researchers. However, the existence of this media has the potential for misunderstanding of educators in implementing YouTube as a substitute for the role of educators in the learning process. This article aims to explore students' perspectives regarding the phenomenon of misunderstanding in Nahwu science learning and recommendations so that the lecture process can run effectively. Narrative approach was used in this research. The research data were obtained from interviews with 32 students from various districts in Central Kalimantan Province. From the results of the study, it was found that students gave positive and negative perceptions about Nahwu science learning using the YouTube media. However, negative perceptions dominate more with various expressions of disappointment from students. The students definitely felt aggrieved by the implementation of the Nahwu lecture which was limited to using the YouTube media without being accompanied by further explanations from the lecturers who taught the Nahwu course. Students recommend lecturers to be more involved in the Nahwu lecture process rather than simply sharing video material that is already available on YouTube media.

Letting the team down? Examining sport fans reactions to Aaron Smith’s ‘Toilet Tryst’ on social media

ABSTRACT Recent scholarly attention in the field of sports crisis communication has focused on audience reception and participation in crisis communication messages in digital and social media. While studies find that fans launch their own defence of their favourite stars, a comparative analysis of fan enacted crisis communication across multiple social media networks is lacking. This study extends Situational Crisis Communication Theory in the context of athlete reputational crises (ARCs) and examines the use of crisis communication messages in the sporting arena through a study of New Zealand’s All Black Aaron Smith’s 2016 ‘Toilet Tryst’. It builds on previous findings by comparatively analysing 1) the crisis communication messages voiced by Smith and All Blacks management; 2) associated elite opinion in media coverage; and 3) comparative analysis of communication strategies used by fans across a range of social media networks. While Smith and All Blacks employed traditional strategies of apology, we found that fans on social media often defended Smith and the All Blacks, and used newer strategies of expression of disappointment and humour to diminish and curtail reputational impact. However, while there was a little variation in crisis response strategies between the social media networks, there was more within the sub-rhetorical spaces within a social media platform. Implications for and future research in sport fans social media crisis communication strategies are discussed.

Disappointment expression evokes collective guilt and collective action in intergroup conflict: the moderating role of legitimacy perceptions

ABSTRACTResearch on intergroup emotions has largely focused on the experience of emotions and surprisingly little attention has been given to the expression of emotions. Drawing on the social-functional approach to emotions, we argue that in the context of intergroup conflicts, outgroup members’ expression of disappointment with one’s ingroup induces the complementary emotion of collective guilt and correspondingly a collective action protesting ingroup actions against the outgroup. In Study 1 conducted immediately after the 2014 Gaza war, Jewish-Israeli participants received information about outgroup’s (Palestinians) expression of emotions (disappointment, fear, or none). As predicted, outgroup’s expression of disappointment increased collective guilt and willingness to participate in collective action, but only among those who saw the intergroup situation as illegitimate. Moreover, collective guilt mediated the relationship between disappointment expression and collective action, moderated, again, by legitimacy perception. In Study 2, we replicated these results in the context of racial tension between Black and White Americans in the US. We discuss the theoretical and applied implications of the findings.

Improving COPD Care in a Medically Underserved Primary Care Clinic: A Qualitative Study of Patient Perspectives

We conducted a focus group study in an urban hospital-based primary care teaching clinic serving an indigent and Hispanic (predominantly Puerto Rican) population in New England in order to learn how patients with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COPD) perceive their disease, how they experience their medical care, and the barriers they face managing their disease and following medical recommendations. The research team included medical doctors, nurses, a medical anthropologist, a clinical pharmacist, a hospital interpreter, and a systems analyst. Four focus groups were conducted in Spanish and English in April and May 2014. The demographic characteristics of the 25 focus group participants closely reflected the demographics of the total COPD clinic patients. The participants were predominantly female (72%) and Hispanic (72%) and had a median age of 63. The major themes expressed in the focus groups included: problems living with COPD; coping with complexities of comorbid illnesses; challenges of quitting smoking and maintaining cessation; dealing with second-hand smoke; beliefs and myths about quitting smoking; difficulty paying for and obtaining medications; positive experiences obtaining and managing medications; difficulties in using sleep machines at home; expressions of disappointment with the departure of their doctors; and overall satisfaction with the clinic health care providers. The study led to the creation of an action plan that addresses the concerns expressed by the focus study participants. The action plan is spearheaded by a designated bilingual and bicultural nurse and is now in operation.

Reconstructing Deweyan Growth: The Significance of James Baldwin’s Moral Psychology

In this paper I raise and respond to the question: Is John Dewey's un- derstanding of growth sufficiently responsive to problems associated with race and racism? I begin with a discussion of Dewey's essay Racial Prejudice and Friction, and show that Dewey lets a major objection to his response to racism and prejudice stand without comment. By focus- ing on this objection I will show that—by Dewey's own admission—one cannot grow morally without confronting aspects of moral psychology that Dewey downplayed in offering his response to racism. I will then show that James Baldwin's work offers resources that help us confront these aspects of moral psychology, and argue that bringing Dewey in conversation with Baldwin allows us to reconstruct our understanding of growth so that it becomes more responsive to problems associated with race and racism. In this paper I raise and respond to the question, Is John Dewey's understanding of growth sufficiently responsive to problems associated with race and racism? A growing number of scholars have asked similar questions of Dewey's philosophy. 1 These scholars generally start with an expression of disappointment—how could someone so concerned with social issues devote so little attention to the problem of racism—and conclude with some variant of the following: While Dewey's philosophy offers us resources that can help as we construct responses to problems of race and racism, his philosophy needs to be reconstructed (often by placing it in conversation with texts that more explicitly address these problems) in order to do so. 2 This will, in large part, be the approach I take in this paper. I begin with a discussion of Dewey's essay Racial Prejudice and Friction, and show that Dewey lets a major objection to his response to racism and prejudice stand without comment. By focusing on this objection I will show that—by Dewey's own admission—one cannot grow morally without confronting aspects of moral psychology that Dewey downplayed in offering his response to racism. I will then show that James Baldwin's work offers resources that help us confront these

I’m Not Angry with You, I’m Disappointed: The Effects of Reciprocal and Complementary Emotions Evoked by Anger and Disappointment in Negotiations

In two experiments we investigated the interpersonal effects of anger and disappointment in negotiations. Whereas previous research has focused on the informational inferences bargainers make following emotions, we emphasize the importance of the affective reactions to others’ emotions. Our findings show that whereas anger evoked a complementary emotion (fear) in targets when communicated by a person in a high-power position, it evoked a reciprocal emotion (anger) when communicated by a low-power person. This reciprocal anger led participants to offer less to low-power counterparts who expressed anger. Expressions of disappointment, on the other hand, evoked a complementary emotion (guilt) in participants and increased offers, regardless of the expresser’s power position. Our findings support the notion that it is essential to distinguish between different types of discrete emotions and to not only consider the valence of emotions. A practical implication is that the communication of disappointment may be a better alternative than the communication of anger.

Consent and Discipline in Ecuador: How to Avoid Raising an Antisocial Child

Abstract The fear that children may grow up to become “antisocial,” or deviant, directs mothers' behaviors in Ecuador. Mothers teach children about appropriate involvement in society through their continuous engagements. Based on fieldwork with urban, middle‐class mothers in Ecuador's largest city, Guayaquil, I document discipline achieved through expressions of disappointment that arise from the removal of usual reinforcements. A previously established set of positive experiences within the child's social milieu provides comparisons that make a mother's rewards or withdrawal of rewards notable to the child. This comparative frame is established through a balance between disciplining and “consenting,” where mothers acquiesce to children's demands to demonstrate the consideration one must have for others. When mothers give in to children's requests this practice itself exemplifies a positive orientation to others intended to prevent future antisocial behavior. Using ethnographic analysis I reveal the subtle dynamics that shape children's socialization in Ecuador to advance understanding of how cultural ideologies guide mothers' behaviors. With this step I offer a reconsideration of existing developmental theory on discipline. [mothering, children, socialization, practice, Ecuador]

Image Repair Strategies, Local News Portrayals and Crisis Stage: A Case Study of Duke University's Lacrosse Team Crisis

The case analysis presented here studies Duke University's strategic use of communication to defend its image during the scandal involving its men's lacrosse team. Benoit's (1995, 1997) image repair theory is used to analyze Duke's strategy in 54 public statements, news releases, and documents. Additionally, 870 local newspaper stories about the Duke case from The News & Observer (n = 443) and The Herald Sun (n = 427) are analyzed by crisis stage. Results show that Duke initially relied most on simple denial and mortification to defend its athletes, and engaged in bolstering, corrective action, separation, and attacking one's accuser to defend the university's reputation. Findings suggest a new defense category: expression of disappointment, which is related to the concept of separation. Use of the strategy of attacking one's accuser was associated with the most positive local news coverage.

What Other's Disappointment May Do to Selfish People: Emotion and Social Value Orientation in a Negotiation Context

The authors examined whether individual differences in social value orientation moderate responses to other's expressions of disappointment in negotiation. The literature suggested competing hypotheses: First, prosocials are more responsive to other's disappointment because they have a greater concern for other; second, proselfs are more responsive because they see other's disappointment as a threat to their own outcomes. Results of a computer-mediated negotiation in which a simulated opponent expressed disappointment, no emotion, or anger supported the second prediction: Proselfs conceded more to a disappointed opponent than to a neutral or angry one, whereas prosocials were unaffected by the other's emotion. This effect was mediated by participants' motivation to satisfy the other's needs, which disappointment triggered more strongly in proselfs than in prosocials. Implications for theorizing on emotion, social value orientation, and negotiation are discussed.

Communicating Disappointment: The Viewpoint of Sons and Daughters

Despite the voluminous literature on general parenting strategies, there seems to be little systematic examination of the social psychological and communicative aspects of parental disappointment. This study examines parental strategies for communicating disappointment from the point of view of sons and daughters and develops a typology. A sample of 377 undergraduates completed questionnaires about their parents' strategies for communicating disappointment, the types of reasons attributed for parental disappointment messages, and their personal sense of control. Results indicate that although parents are reported to be generally verbally direct in their expression of disappointment, mothers were reported using indirect verbal criticism and relying on nonverbal cues more often than fathers to communicate their disappointment. For both parents, the greater the use of indirect criticism, the more likely the child would report feeling out of control of his or her life. The links among indirect parental verbal criticism, parental disappointment, and child outcomes are discussed and a typology of parental disappointments are provided.

Disappointment in teacher-student relationships

One of the most common experiences in teaching-learning situations is the phenomenon of disappointment. Teachers feel disappointed in students, students feel disappointed in themselves. These feelings are expressed in various ways in classrooms. As teachers, however, we rarely reflect on what we communicate in our expressions of disappointment to our students. What does reflection reveal about the pedagogical significance of disappointment? In this paper, I describe disappointment tentatively as 'the unpleasant feeling that occurs when desired expectations of sufficient importance do not come true'. This simple definition subsequently gives rise to various relational and moral sensibilities. I show how teachers express their disappointments with regard to their students, how they may attempt to manipulate students' behaviours and motivation to learn, what meaning and significance disappointment may carry for one's self-concept, and how insensitivity on a teacher's part may exacerbate the negative effects of the experience of disappointment. Finally, I examine how educators may help students to learn to deal with disappointment.

Virgil's Camilla and the Death of Hector

Latin-in The True Tragedie of Richard Duke of Yorke4 in the line Et tu, Brute, wilt thou stab Caesar too?-were understood to express his disappointment at finding Brutus among his attackers. The line What, Brutus too? from Caesar's Revenge, performed in the mid-1590s, shows this interpretation was also well known in English at the time. Shakespeare too understood the phrase this way, as is clear from Mark Antony's lament for Caesar, which bewails Brutus' ingratitude (Julius Caesar, 3.2), ingratitude he insists broke Caesar's heart. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that this was the meaning borne by the original Greek. There is archaeological evidence from the Roman period to the effect that this formula had a common apotropaic use in antiquity (meaning, in effect, you'll get yours too), paralleling the phrase eis KIceaiArv aoi, your head.5 The formula appears on a monument from Akko-Ptolemais showing a winged phallus,6 a common apotropaic device affixed to houses, etc., as a defense against the evil eye. It is also found in a similar context on two mosaic pavements from Antioch showing ithyphallic goblins.7 The presence of the for ula has been explained as a reinforcement of the phallic symbol throwing the ill-wishers' attack back upon their heads.8 Moreover, a certain number of epitaphs from the same period end with the words xaipe Kai ca , aipE Kai car y, or vale et tu. One interpretation of this expression in a funerary context would have the dead using the words as an apotropaic locution throwing the joy of those alive (their supercilious thoughts at being alive and their consequent contempt of those who have quit this world) back on the heads of the living, thus making it serve the same function as the phallic amulet.9 Formulas like these on epitaphs were surely well known. The anonymous people who reported that Caesar said Kai au, zTKVOV, surely had this context in mind. Hence the phrase put in Caesar's mouth was naturally taken as a curse, rather than as an expression of disappointment or amazement at Brutus' participation in the brutal attack. No wonder, then, that neither Suetonius nor Dio Cassius was willing to credit a report that detracted from Caesar's dignity, even though it made a good story. No other ancient author was willing even to allude to the story, but in the dramatic context of Shakespeare'sJulius Caesar it was resurrected to eternal fame.
