Analysis of Tax Compliance: Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior and Cognitive Dissonance Theory Approaches

This research aims to investigate the social psychological influence of taxpayers on tax compliance behavior, focusing on individuals’ thoughts, emotions, and actions. This study investigates how attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control affect individuals’ tax compliance intention, and how this compliance intention influences tax compliance behavior. The research also examines the role of emotionality and spirituality as moderators between compliance intention and tax compliance behavior. The research employed convenience sampling on Madura Island and gathered 177 respondents. The research employed the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. This study discovered a notable correlation between attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control in relation to compliance intention. The compliance intention does not influence tax compliance behavior. The moderating effect of spirituality also does not enhance the relationship between compliance intention and tax compliance behavior. However, emotionality effectively moderated the relationship between compliance intention and tax compliance behavior. Emotionality can undermine tax compliance behavior due to the taxpayer experiencing hurt feelings or intolerable emotions. This study has significant implications for tax authorities in preserving taxpayers’ emotional well-being through a professional manner.

Personal relative deprivation and moral self-judgments: The moderating role of sense of control

Six studies (total valid N = 1835) examined the impact of personal relative deprivation on moral judgments of one’s own unethical behavior and the moderating role of sense of control. It was found that individuals high (vs. low) on relative deprivation were more likely to endorse lenient moral standards for themselves regarding various imagined transgressions. Moreover, Studies 4–6 also provided evidence for a positive moderation effect of sense of control in the relationship between relative deprivation and the acceptability of one’s own moral transgressions. These findings suggest that individuals, especially those with a high sense of control, may justify their immoral actions to compensate for the hurt feelings of relative deprivation.

A Qualitative Inquiry of Holocaust Survivors in the Face of Financial Exploitation

Objective Financial exploitation of older adults results in devastating emotional, health, and economic consequences for victims, their families, and society at large. Examining reactions of Holocaust survivors to financial exploitation can provide informative insights into the effects of re-traumatization in highly traumatized older adults. This study examined the personal experiences and meaning that Holocaust survivors attribute to being victims of financial exploitation, thereby assessing an underexplored issue: the effects of financial exploitation on previously traumatized older adults. Method Fifteen Israeli Holocaust survivors (10 females; 5 males) aged 79–92 (M = 84.66), participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed according to the phenomenological approach. Results Analysis yielded four themes. Negative emotional reactions toward financial exploitation included feelings of anger, hurt, shock, and helplessness. Coping mechanisms included adaptive (i.e. acting for the benefit of the self and offspring, helping others, alertness, and caution), and maladaptive (i.e. self-blame and rationalization) mechanisms. Positive life motto relates to participants perceiving themselves as vital and optimistic, grateful, helping the weak, and content with little. Protective and risk factors included family and community protection (versus living alone without resources), education (versus lack of), and taking preventive measures. Conclusions This study adds to the literature on the experience of revictimization among previously traumatized older adults, Holocaust survivors exposed to financial exploitation, by highlighting adaptive and maladaptive coping mechanisms alongside positive mottos in life, and victims’ perceptions of risk and protective factors. Overall, findings indicate that the participants were characterized by both resilience and vulnerability in the face of financial exploitation.

Comment: Injuries that Hurt – A Comment to “Embitterment – Conception of a Potential Moderator to Dysfunctional and Aggressive Behaviour in Children and Adolescents”

AbstractThis comment discusses the article of Balder and Linden (2022), who debate the existence and role of embitterment in child and adolescent psychopathology. This topic appears highly relevant, but broader literature should be integrated when talking about embitterment. First, we question the conceptualization of embitterment as an emotion. We conceptualize it as a long-term emotion episode that stems from events involving severe and unresolved hurt feelings, also referred to as attachment injuries and narcissistic injuries. When overly intense, they might lead to PTED. In contrast to Balder and Linden (2022), we argue that specific psychotherapeutic treatments exist. Nonetheless, we join Balder and Linden (2022) in calling for more attention for embitterment and hurt feelings and their role in developmental psychopathology.

The impact of a child’s suicide on family structure and relationships between its members

The main objective of this article is to analyse the available literature on the impact of a child’s suicide on family structure and relationships between family members. The available literature from 1976-2021 was analysed. The analysis showed that families abandoned after the suicide death of a family member experience feelings of hurt, denial, shock and anger, resentment, shame and guilt. Social ostracism affects the social exclusion of families affected by the suicide death of a child, who are deprived of adequate support from institutions and the community. Bereaved families, being in shock and confusion at the beginning of their bereavement, had no one to turn to for help. The sudden death of a child by suicide leads to a deepening of the trauma and makes the grieving process impossible. People who have suffered a loss feel the need to give the death some meaning. The results of the literature search are, however, not satisfactory, contributing to my own research in terms of the family’s experience of bereavement following the death of their child by suicide. The findings show little development in the topic of postvention following the suicide death of a child. There is no public education on this subject.

Medicalizing disabled people's emotions-Symptom of a dis/ableist society.

The theoretical-conceptual article at hand explores how emotional discourses shape social relations by specifically focusing on the medicalization of disabled- and chronically ill-people's emotions. Medicalization is a concept from medical sociology that describes medicine's expansion into non-medical life areas, for instance into the realm of emotions, sometimes in order to challenge this expansion. The emotions of disabled people are often presented as a medicalized problem, rather than recognizing their embeddedness in a dis/ableist socio-cultural context. Such discourses instrumentalize feelings in order to individualize the responsibility for disability. For a contextualized and emancipatory approach, this study reviews papers on medicalized emotions from Disability Studies-a research program that can provide a rich archive of experiential accounts yet to be theorized through a comprehensive emotional perspective. The medicalization of disabled people's emotions can manifest in different ways: (1) In a dis/ableist society, able-mindedness is compulsory; i.e., we fail to question that a healthy mind is the norm and something to strive for unconditionally. This is also true on an emotional level; after all, some medical diagnoses are based on the wrong degree or temporality of emotionality. (2) Unpleasant feelings such as sadness are misunderstood as symptoms of impairment rather than effects of discrimination. (3) The expression of hurt feelings, e.g., related to discrimination, can easily be dismissed as hysterical. This assumption epistemologically disables patients. (4) Love and desire are delegitimized as fetish, for example, the desire for a disabled lover or the wish to start a family despite a chronic illness. The medicalization of disabled people's emotions individualizes and delegitimizes unpleasant emotions that emerge in a dis/ableist society. Different facets of medicalization enforce medical treatment instead, albeit in different ways. Disabled and sick people are cast as not feeling and desiring the right way, while hegemonic discourse prescribes psychological treatment against the effects of discrimination and bodily symptoms it cannot explain. Beyond the dismissal of disabled people's experience, adverse effects on healthcare delivery and health outcomes can be expected.

Moral evaluations of children’s truths and lies in a prosocial context: The role of reputation

The current investigation examined the influence of a child’s reputation on 7- to 12-year-olds’ (Study 1; N = 146) and parents’ (Study 2; N = 198) moral evaluations of the child’s blunt truths (i.e., truths told despite possible hurt feelings) and prosocial lies (i.e., lies told to protect another’s feelings). In Study 1, children were read a series of vignettes in which a child, described as being smart, kind, or clean (with clean serving as the irrelevant control reputation), told either the blunt truth or a prosocial lie that varied in content (opinions or facts). In Study 2, parents evaluated the same vignettes and reputations as in Study 1 with the addition of a troublemaker reputation. The reputation of the child protagonist significantly influenced both children’s and parents’ moral evaluations. Children rated the kind child’s lies more positively, and parents rated the smart child’s truths and lies less positively, than those of the clean (control) child when told about opinions. No differences were noted in the facts content condition. Findings suggest that a child’s perceived reputation may influence both children’s and adults’ moral interpretations of the child’s honesty behaviors.

Hurt Feelings: Affect, World, and Time in As You Like It and Early Modern Studies

Abstract: Engaging current affect theory through the work of Jean-Luc Nancy, Martin Heidegger, and Walter Benjamin, "Hurt Feelings" argues that affect should be understood neither as a form of embodiment nor of sympathetic correspondence but as a state of incommensurability between self and world that is at the same time the originative condition of those categories; rather than extending the self into the world, affect concerns the possibility of world as such. The essay brings such claims to bear on a scene of miraculous conversion in As You Like It that suggests both the grounds of theater's affective hold and affect's inextricable relation to our status as historical beings.

Understanding the reparative effects of schema modes: an in-depth analysis of the healthy adult mode.

Evidence in favor of schema therapy's effectiveness in treating personality disorders is growing. One of the central and recently popular concepts of schema therapy is schema modes [i.e., temporary emotional-cognitive-behavioral states resulting from the activation of early maladaptive schemas (EMSs)]. A key aspect herein is self-reparenting, i.e., a healing relationship between the healthy adult (HA, i.e., compassionate and healthy emotional states, and functional dealing with reality) and the child modes (i.e., representation of fragile and hurt feelings and dysfunctional coping). Through an in-depth qualitative analysis, we aimed to better understand the components of the HA that enable self-reparenting. Purposive sampling procedures were used to recruit eligible participants (n = 10) with relatively strong HA modes, as determined by high scores on positive affect and satisfaction with life measures and low scores on EMSs and psychopathological symptom measures. Semi-structured 45- to 60-min face-to-face interviews were conducted individually, in which individuals were asked to help the child modes reflected in the pictures. Interviews were then analyzed using deductive thematic analysis in MaxQDA. The analysis revealed three superordinate themes comprising of a total of 10 group themes: (1) bonding between HA and the vulnerable child modes ("Bond"); (2) balancing expression and inhibition of adult and child mode emotions ("Balancing"); and (3) opposing demanding and critical voices and maladaptive coping styles ("Battle"). Furthermore, a strong HA mode seems to have a reciprocal relationship with the child modes: the HA gives nurturance and protection to the child modes, and the child modes boost up the HA with spontaneity and happiness. In conclusion, emotional stability and resilience may be highest when HA-child mode interaction happens bidirectionally; when the child modes get reparented by the HA, and the HA is informed by the child modes.

Effects of an open-label placebo intervention on reactions to social exclusion in healthy adults: a randomized controlled trial

Social exclusion, that is being left out by others, can have adverse consequences for individuals’ psychological well-being. Even short-term experiences of social exclusion strongly threaten basic psychological needs and cause so-called social pain. Prior research suggests an overlap between the experience of social and physical pain that, amongst others, is reflected by the effectiveness of physical pain treatments in alleviating social pain. Drawing upon these prior findings, we here explore whether open-label placebos, which have previously been found to be effective in reducing physical pain, can alleviate social pain following social exclusion. Seventy-four healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions in a 2 × 2 between-subjects design: First, they either received an open-label placebo intervention or no treatment. Second, they either experienced inclusion or exclusion by their co-players in the interactive ball-tossing game Cyberball. We find that excluded participants in the open-label placebo condition experienced significantly less hurt feelings compared to those in the control condition (Cohen’s d = 0.77). There was no effect of treatment for need threat. The findings suggest new possibilities to alleviate social pain, which is of particular interest in the context of preventing destructive and maladaptive behaviors in situations where functional coping strategies are unavailable.

Unconscious and conscious acceptance downregulate aggressive behavior: Mediating role of anger regulation

Social exclusion can induce negative emotions and aggression. While previous studies have investigated the effect of trait acceptance on emotional experience and aggression during social exclusion, it is still unclear how different forms of acceptance strategy can downregulate negative emotions and whether this potential reduction of negative emotions should mediate the effect of acceptance on aggression. To address these questions, 100 participants were recruited and randomly divided into three groups: control group (CG, N = 33), conscious acceptance group (CAG, N = 33) and unconscious acceptance group (UAG, N = 34). Negative emotions were induced by the cyberball game and measured by the modified PANAS. Aggressive behavior was assessed by the hot sauce allocation task. Results showed that anger, rather than other negative emotions, mediated the effect of acceptance on aggressive behavior. Conscious and unconscious acceptance both effectively regulated anger, hurt feelings and aggressive behavior during social exclusion. Compared to conscious acceptance, unconscious acceptance was associated with less reduction of positive emotion and had a better effect on reducing sadness. These findings highlight the advantage of applying unconscious acceptance strategy to regulating social exclusion-induced emotions for the purpose of reducing aggressive behavior.

“Our time is up”: a patient’s perspective on psychotherapist retirement

Organic terminations in a “good-enough” treatment at their best end with feelings of warmth, pride, sadness, and a letting go. Psychotherapist retirement, however, is a unilateral ending imposed upon patients, sometimes causing not only feelings of loss and hurt, but bringing about damage, breaching the age-old mandate of the Hippocratic oath: “First, do no harm”. Yet, humans can avoid ageing only by early death. They retire, sometimes forced by necessities, sometimes beckoned by a readiness for a final life chapter filled in ways that do not include professional work. Some hurts, even harm, may be unavoidable. Despite a growing literature on the topic of psychotherapist retirement, the first-hand perspective of the retired-upon patient is as yet without a public voice. A retired psycho-dynamic psychotherapist myself, in this article I share my experience as a patient who lost a much-loved therapist to retirement. I write with a patient’s heart informed by a practitioner’s eyes, ending with suggestions for both members of the therapeutic dyad and also for the professional community.

Faktor Protektif Dan Risiko Perilaku Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Pada Perempuan Dewasa Awal Korban Perselingkuhan Dalam Hubungan Berpacaran

Infidelity victims experienced negative emotions such as feelings of hurt, extreme anger, depression, anxiety, and disappointment. They certainly need coping strategies to face their problem but maladaptive coping strategies are often used by victims of infidelity, such as self-harm without a motive for suicide (nonsuicidal self-injury). This study used a qualitative research method with an intrinsic case study approach involving three informants. The data collection process was carried out through interview techniques and by using data driven thematic analysis as a data analysis technique. The results of this study suggest that the protective factors of NSSI behavior in early adult women who are victims of infidelity in dating relationships are realizing that this behavior should not be carried out, having a desire to seek for professional help, wanting to love themselves, and having support from the social environment. Risk factors of this behavior include having done NSSI before, having suicidal intentions, difficult to communicate problem with others, and having another problem along with the experience of being infidelity victim.

Do targets of ostracism truthfully communicate their emotional reactions to sources?

Ostracism triggers negative emotions such as sadness, anger, and hurt feelings. Do targets of ostracism truthfully share their emotions with the sources of ostracism? Drawing on past research on social-functional accounts of emotions and interpersonal emotion regulation, we investigated the possibility that targets may misrepresent their emotions (i.e., gaming emotions). We conducted three experiments (N = 1058; two pre-registered) using an online ball-tossing game, in which participants were randomly assigned to be included or ostracized. Consistent with the literature, we found that ostracized individuals were more hurt, sad, and angry than included individuals. However, we found little and inconsistent evidence that ostracized (vs included) individuals misrepresented their emotional reactions to the sources. Further, Bayesian analyses offered more support against misrepresentation of emotions. These findings suggest that targets of ostracism truthfully communicated their social pain to the sources.
