Toxic relationship in youth communication through self-love intervention strategy

This study set out to identify and analyze toxic relationships in interpersonal communication among adolescents. The toxic relationship, as an unhealthy relationship, does have an impact on the occurrence of internal conflicts. Such relationships often cause the people involved to encounter unproductiveness and mental disorders, which can trigger an emotional outburst that leads to violence. A qualitative approach was used as the research method. The data collection techniques comprised FGD, observation, and in-depth interviews with informants/participants as primary data. The study findings show that first, the perpetrators of toxic relationships, namely toxic people, could be those closest to the victims, such as the nuclear family (father, mother, and siblings). In addition, the perpetrator could be a lover in an unhealthy romantic relationship or peers and even friends who often do the bullying via verbal, physical, or even sexual violence. Second, toxic relationships can be categorized into several forms, namely unhealthy relationships with friends (‘toxic friendship’), parents/family (‘toxic parenting’), lovers, and cheating parents, which can affect a child’s mentality. Actions necessary include the raising of awareness and concern for the community. If violent behavior occurs, it is not permissible to act permissive. The individual approach carried out during victim assistance can entail consultations in the form of ‘vent sessions’. A powerful way to anticipate being trapped in an unhealthy relationship is via self-love. Counselling is carried out with a self-healing approach to restore victims’ self-confidence and maintain their mental health.

Analysis of Social Media User Responses to Verbal Violence in the Cyber World

Violence on social media comes in various forms, one of which is verbal, such as rude or hateful comments, threats, or insults. This research will provide an overview of the responses of social media users to the verbal violence they experience in cyberspace. Researchers conducted interviews with five informants aged 19 – 21 years who had experienced violence on social media. Apart from that, researchers also completed the data by conducting interviews with expert informants in media literacy. The research results showed that all informants received indirect types of verbal violence through their social media in the form of teasing and body shaming, both from friends and strangers. Specifically, some informants experienced direct and indirect verbal violence, as well as repressive violence. The responses of the informants in responding to verbal violence were at the attitude and behavior level, including remaining silent because they felt like they were in the minority and did not need to reply, hiding their stories or status on social media from the perpetrator, and even contacting the perpetrator to get an explanation. Expert informants assess that violent behavior that appears in the media is caused, among other things, by the various backgrounds of media users, both in terms of economic education and literacy levels. Many responses or ways can be made in responding to online violence, but according to expert informants, the ideal way is to provide an answer or warning politely. It also aims to educate fellow media users.

재난 서사에 내재된 공포 정치와 젠더 레짐

By analyzing the politics of fear in the narrative of disasters kind of infectious diseases and the gender regime that is practiced within social constructs, we can critically explore the everyday discrimination inherent in communities and the sense of place where members are separated. Furthermore, in order to create a healthy society that recognizes the value and diversity of human beings, violent discriminatory behavior within gendered organizations must be examined from a gender perspective. In this study, focusing on Jung Yoo-jung's novel “28” and Choi Jin-young's “To the Warm Horizon”, we will examine the narrative aspect of discourse on the risk of life as a threat of gender in order to have power in a disaster situation. It aims to raise a problematic awareness of the political act of creating fear by instrumentalizing the risk of infection and segregating the sex differences written on the body by dividing them into classes. In the two novels, after the spread of the epidemic, gendered women are confined to a defined sphere and marginalized in a limited role in the public sphere. However, the author attempts to deconstruct the power structure within the community that sexually exploits women's bodies by depicting the future of humanity through a system of domination and obedience. The novel point out the contradictions of the heterosexual patriarchal system by ideally portraying the restoration of relationships formed on empathy and love by rejecting masculinity in which the female body is disciplined. In the end, the novel emphasizes that the logic of power or the predominance of power in the private/public sphere is not the orientation of a positive community that sustains life. Emphasizing that the communal value, which is closer to hope than the disciplinary power that oppresses others, is the sentiment of caring to respect each other and live together as it is, the author embodies the gender regime as a social practice in the novel.

Needs and Problems of the Caregivers of Psychiatric Patients With Violent Behaviours.

Violent behaviour exhibited by psychiatric patients is a major problem faced by their family members. Agitated violent patients constitute a part of all emergency psychiatry treatment, and family members carry out most of the care for the mentally ill. Caring for the mentally ill is a burden for the caregivers, and they face difficulties and problems that affect their health and well-being. This study aimed to assess the needs and problems of the caregivers of psychiatric patients with violent behaviour. This study was conducted at Mary LottLyles Hospital, Andhra Pradesh, India. Fifty caregivers of patients with violent behaviour were assessed concerning their needs and problems, which were explored using an open-ended questionnaire, and responses were documented and voice-recorded. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were done. Caregivers of psychiatric patients exhibiting violent behaviour face pressing needs and formidable challenges. They urgently require prompt treatment, detailed explanations from healthcare professionalsand hope for their loved ones' full recovery. However, they grapple with managing the unpredictable and aggressive behaviour of patients, transportation difficultiesand the pervasive stigma of mental illness. Economic crises further exacerbate their struggles, making it challenging to access necessary care and support for their relatives. Despite the challenges encountered in handling violent behaviour, caregivers consistently ensured that patients received emergency treatment and ongoing care. They stressed the importance of healthcare professionals understanding their needs and those of the patients. These results highlight the necessity of addressing the comprehensive requirements of both patients and caregivers when dealing with violent behaviour in psychiatric settings.

Trial-Lawyer Leaders in Court Change Institutions Forcing the Use of Tests and Equations So That Challenged Ones Become Successfully Healthy Thus Safeguarding Schools and Workplaces from the High-Risk Homicidal, Mass-Murdering and Sex-Offending

Annual U.S. violence expense = $3.46 trillion (12.5% GDP). Insurance mass-murder/sex-offending payouts range from $3M-$1.1B. The U.S. Catholic Church has 24/194 (13%) pedophilia-bankrupt dioceses. Using 4-machine learning tests-equations, 7-high-risk predictors are—(1) addiction-alcoholism, (2) antisocial-behavior, (3) deception, (4) depression, (5) paranoia, (6) schizophrenic-thinking, (7) violence-potential—found in 212 studies (320,051 persons); in anticipating violent behavior, 4 tests-equations have 97% impressive predictive accuracy, ASP (Ask Standard Predictor, 2010), BASC (Behavior Assessment System Children, 1992), CAPI (Child Abuse Potential Inventory, 1986), MMPI-2/A (1992). Using tests-equations, over 16-years, insurance-leaders targeted 255,806 high-risk youth with cost-effective, (ROI=$6.42 for every dollar spent) jobs, anger-training, mentors, showing substantially 1,070 less homicides ("Chicago Summer-1 program"). This proves tests-equations with interventions work. Trial lawyer leaders using tests-equations with interventions motivate institutional change by increasing homicide, mass-murder, sex-offending settlements-awards to $10-$100B leading insurance professionals to modify liability contracts mandating continuing professional education in test-equation use, thus lowering premiums, bankruptcies.

Antecedents and Outcomes of Intimate Partner Violence Against Married Afghan Women Living in Iran

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is one of the most frequent forms of violence observed by one member of the family, particularly the dominant member, to control the other member of the relationship. This study aimed to investigate the antecedents and consequences of IPV in couples’ relationships from the perspective of married Afghan immigrant women living in Iran. The participants included 253 married Afghan women living in Iran between 18 and 57 years old who participated in the study via an online survey and answered questions about the four forms of IPV experienced measured by Conflict Tactic Scales-Revised (CTS-2), Symptoms of Depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder Scale, Relationship Assessment Scale, and the Social Support Scale. According to the findings, Afghan immigrant women experienced psychological, physical, sexual, and controlling behaviors and any kind of IPV of 54%, 41%, 23%, 61%, and 71% prevalence, respectively, in the last 12 months. Age, self-education and partner education, economic status, type of marriage (love or traditional), and the number of children also have a significant association with IPV (p< .01). The results showed that women who experienced IPV significantly reported lower levels of social support and marital satisfaction and higher symptoms of depression and PTSD than women who did not experience IPV (p< .01). Considering the prevalence of violent behavior in Afghan immigrant women who have less access to the support network in the country of origin, empowering them and creating supportive conditions for them can control the negative consequences of violence and provide a basis for psychological interventions by specialists.

School‐based anti‐bullying approaches for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities: A systematic review and synthesis

AbstractMainstream anti‐bullying interventions can reduce primary school‐level victimisation by 15–16% and bullying perpetration by 19%–20% (Aggression and Violent Behavior, 2019; 45: 111–133). Less is known about anti‐bullying interventions for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) even though they are at least 2–4 times more likely to be involved in bullying. This systematic review aimed to identify reported anti‐bullying approaches for pupils with SEND, what the evidence is for these approaches reducing bullying and which design factors are linked to a reduction in bullying. We searched 10 databases and four grey literature sources for articles that evaluated school‐based anti‐bullying strategies for children and young people aged 4–18 years with SEND. This review included 15 studies and used the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool for quality and risk of bias. Ten reported a reduction in bullying involvement, but the evidence was variable. A further 27 articles formed a ‘suggested strategies’ review which synthesised articles without evaluations of interventions but that suggested anti‐bullying strategies for use with pupils with SEND. The main suggestion was encouraging social skills and networks. Interventions should be evaluated for feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness. High‐quality randomised controlled trials are required to build an evidence base to support pupils with SEND.

TraModeAVTest: Modeling Scenario and Violation Testing for Autonomous Driving Systems Based on Traffic Regulations

Current testing methods for autonomous driving systems primarily focus on simple traffic scenarios, generating test cases based on traffic accidents, while research on generating edge test cases for complex driving environments by traffic regulations is not adequately comprehensive. Therefore, we propose a method for scenario modeling and violation testing using an autonomous driving system based on traffic regulations named TraModeAVTest. Initially, TraModeAVTest constructs a Petri net model for complex scenarios based on the combination relationships of basic traffic regulation scenarios and verifies the consistency of the model’s design with traffic regulation requirements using formal methods, to provide a representation of traffic regulation scenario models for the violation testing of autonomous driving systems. Subsequently, based on the coverage criteria of the Petri net model, it utilizes a search strategy to generate model paths that represent traffic regulations, and employs a parameter combination method to generate test cases that cover the model paths, to test the violation behaviors of autonomous driving systems. Finally, simulation experiment results on the Baidu Apollo demonstrate that the test cases representing traffic regulations generated by TraModeAVTest can effectively identify the behaviors of autonomous vehicles violating traffic regulations, and TraModeAVTest can effectively improve the efficiency of generating different types of violation scenarios.

Medication non-adherence and self-inflicted violence behaviors among 185,800 patients with schizophrenia in the community: a 12-year cohort study

BackgroundDespite the importance of medication adherence in treatment effectiveness, little is known about the association between medication non-adherence and self-inflicted violence behaviors. We aimed to assess whether medication non-adherence increased the risk of self-inflicted violence behaviors among schizophrenics in communities (hypothesis 1) and whether the dose–response relationship existed (hypothesis 2).MethodsThis 12-year cohort study in western China recruited 292,667 community-dwelling schizophrenics. The proportion of regular medication (PRM) was calculated by dividing the time of “regular adherence” by the total time of antipsychotic treatment during follow-up period as an indicator of medication adherence. For hypothesis 1, medication adherence was designated as a binary variable with a threshold of 0.8 (PRM); for hypothesis 2, medication adherence was specified as five-category and continuous variables, respectively. Inverse probability weighting and mixed effects Cox proportional hazards models were conducted for confounders control and survival analyses.ResultsOne hundred eighty-five thousand eight hundred participants were eligible for the final analyses, with a mean age of 47.49 years (SD 14.55 years), of whom 53.6% were female. For hypothesis 1, the medication non-adherence group (PRM < 0.8) had a lower risk of suicide (HR, 0.527, 95% CI, 0.447–0.620), an increased risk of NSSI (HR, 1.229, 95% CI, 1.088–1.388), and non-significant risk of attempted suicide compared with adherence group (PRM ≥ 0.8). For hypothesis 2, the lowest medication adherence (PRM < 0.2) was associated with increased risks of suicide attempt (HR, 1.614, 95% CI, 1.412–1.845), NSSI (HR, 1.873, 95% CI, 1.649–2.126), and a decreased risk of suicide (HR, 0.593, 95% CI, 0.490–0.719). The other non-adherence groups had lower risks for all three self-inflicted violence behaviors. The associations between medication adherence in continuous-variable and three outcomes were consistent with the categorical medication adherence results.ConclusionsAlmost no medication taken as prescribed was associated with an increased risk of suicide attempt and NSSI. However, medication adherence did not appear to prevent completed suicide. Besides, patients with moderate adherence had a lower incidence of suicide attempt and NSSI. These findings highlight the need for a more detailed portrayal of medication adherence and the need to be vigilant for suicide intent in schizophrenics with good medication adherence who may be overlooked previously.

Minors Convicted of Sexual Crimes: Modern Statistical Patterns

The authors analyze the regularities of criminal behavior found in the official statistics of the Office of the Judicial Department of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in 2017–2022, which reflect some specific features of minors convicted for sexual crimes nationwide. This research allowed the authors to identify a number of statistical regularities characteristic of this type of criminal conduct. The analysis of statistical data on minors convicted for violent sexual behavior over the last five years revealed some specific features connected with a positive annual growth rate, which is contrary to the general all-Russian trend for the reduction in the criminal behavior of minor convicts. Besides, it is well known that a negative growth rate for the criminal behavior of minor convicts is a typical and traditional feature of the past decade. The specifics of criminal behavior of minors in terms of age show periods of dominance of the 14–15-year-old group, which, although not stable, are regularly repeated. A significant feature revealed by the statistical analysis is the transformation of the types of sexual violence in the structure of the crime under consideration. Although the structure was traditionally dominated by rape, characteristic of both age groups, violent actions of sexual nature have been dominant in the last five years. Besides, this feature is characteristic of the convicts in the younger age group. The data on minors convicted for crimes under Art. 18 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (CC of the RF) with criminal records or outstanding convictions on the date of the court hearing showed that there was a considerable increase in repeat offences in 2022, the growth rate being over +73 %. At the same time, the rates for the previous years were steadily negative. Statistical data are, to a great degree, a reflection of reaction by the law enforcement bodies, but they are, simultaneously, a reference point for a deeper research of the causal complex of juvenile crime that has a high degree of public danger.

Analysis of Factors Affecting the Severity of Injuries in Electric Two-Wheeled Vehicle Crashes with or without Violation: A Random Parametric Logit Model considering Heterogeneity of Means and Variances

Electric two-wheeled vehicle is one of the main commuting tools in China, but they are also more likely to have violations of the road group. In order to study the effect of the presence of violation on the severity of road traffic crashes among electric two-wheeler riders, in this study, the effects of rider characteristics, road characteristics, collision characteristics, and environmental characteristics on the severity of injuries of electric two-wheeled vehicle riders were considered separately analyzed based on the data of 6403 two-wheeled electric vehicle traffic crashes in a region of Shandong Province from 2015 to 2021, and a random parametric logit model considering the heterogeneity of the mean and the variance (RP-HMV logit) was established based on the presence or absence of violation behaviors of riders, respectively, in order to explore unobserved heterogeneity. In order to test the validity of the model for modeling the injury severity of pedestrians riding electric two-wheelers, multinomial logit (MN-logit model), and random parameter logit model (RP-logit) were estimated, and the results showed that the RP-HMV logit model was significantly superior in terms of goodness of fit. The study showed that some of the factors differed somewhat between the two scenarios, such as gender, while the factors that were significant in both scenarios were &gt;60, broken pavement, street lights at night, no street lights at night, mixed motorized and nonmotorized lanes, sidewalks, other angles, no control, severe weather, and visibility &lt;200 m, where the severe weather and visibility &lt;200 m were random parameters obeying normal distributions, there is a significant difference between having street lights and no control at night in both scenarios, and the difference is significant. The results of the study can provide a reference for the development of targeted countermeasures to improve the traffic safety of electric two-wheeled vehicles in China.

Arts-based methods as a critical and decolonising process in global mental health: Reflections on popular discourse, artistic rigour and limitations.

Due to masculine expectations and cultural perceptions, Luo and Busoga men, in their respective countries of Kenya and Uganda, can experience a range of mental health conditions which can lead to violent and problematic behaviours. Over an 18 month period in 2022/23, Masculinities and Mental Health used bottom-up, culturally responsive, arts and health workshops to seek to understand the cultural causes of stress and depression reported by men in Luo and Busoga cultures. The project included a two month arts-based residency in Osiri village, Kisumu County (Kenya) and a four week residency in Walukuba, Jinja (Uganda) working with groups of men to explore definitions of mental health via arts-based research methodologies. This article will present examples from the research whilst critically interrogating the possibilities of arts-based research contributing to an ongoing process of decolonising mental health practices in East Africa. The paper is focused on three dilemmas and learnings that occurred during the project; balancing the relationship between popular and progressive ideas in health care research, the complications of developing the 'art' in arts-based research and the inherent limitations of arts-based research in developing impact. I argue that arts-based research can effectively contribute to wider efforts of decolonising mental health by enabling participatory spaces to explore indigenous knowledge and lived experience. However, such efforts could be advanced if arts-based research engaged with systemic structures which enforce Global North practices and ignore culturally specific understandings of mental health.

Subjective and objective assessments of executive functions are independently predictive of aggressive tendencies in patients with substance use disorder

Background and aimsImpairments in executive functions have been found to influence violent behavior. Executive functions are crucial in the treatment of patients with substance use disorders because substance use generally impairs cognitive processes and is therefore detrimental for executive functions thereby reducing control of behavior and thus of consumption impulses. We studied correlations between subjective, i.e. self-report, and objective, i.e. behavior-based, assessment of executive functions and the predictive validity of these measures for aggression in patients with substance use disorder. MethodsThe study included 64 patients with a diagnosed substance use disorder who were convicted according to the German Criminal Code for crimes they committed in the context of their disorder and were therefore in treatment in forensic psychiatric departments in Germany. Multiple self-report and behavior-based instruments were used to assess executive functions, appetitive and facilitative aggression as well as clinical and sociodemographic variables. ResultsParticipants showed impaired executive functions, and measures of executive functions predicted aggressive tendencies and violent offenses. Despite ecological validity of the findings, the subjective and objective assessments of executive functions did not correlate with each other, which corroborates studies in other clinical settings. ConclusionsWe discuss that this finding may be due to the conceptual differences between subjective and objective measures. Therefore, self-report and behavior-based measures should not be used as proxies of each other but as complementary measures that are useful for comprehensive diagnostics of cognitive impairments and assessment of risks for violent behavior.

Too sensitive or not sensitive enough? Sensitivity to context and justice-involved youths' response to violence exposure.

With high rates of violence exposure among justice-involved youth, it is critical to identify factors that might impact the likelihood of youth engaging in violence themselves. One such factor is sensitivity to context, which describes how sensitive youth are to experiences in their environment. Using an ethnically diverse sample of justice-involved male adolescents (47% Latino, 38% Black/African American, 15% White) aged 13-17 at the time of their first arrest, the results of this study indicate that exposure to violence was related to increased violent behavior six months later, and this effect was strongest among youth who were low in sensitivity to context. These findings may help practitioners identify which youth are at greatest risk for violence in a policy-relevant population.

The Neuman Systems Model: A Framework for Aggression and Violence Prevention.

Aggression and violence influence nurse-client relationships and the quality of care provided, and just as important, they also influence the nurses' physical and emotional well-being. The Neuman systems model is utilized to define and understand factors that contribute to aggressive and violent behavior and for the purposes of providing a systematic approach to the prevention and management of stressors leading to aggression and violence.

Slaughterhouse workers, bullfighters, and cockfighters in Ecuador: paradoxical moral and affective action on non-human animals

ABSTRACT The process of killing non-human animals demands certain psychosocial, affective, and moral processes. In the case of so-called ‘death-saturated environments’, psychic numbing and systematic desensitisation related to violent attitudes and behaviours against non-human animals acquire contradictory dimensions. To understand these processes in depth, this article proposes a theoretical perspective based on the social psychology of human-animal relations. Empirically, the study examines the experiences, attitudes, and worldviews of men in Ecuador whose jobs involve inflicting pain and death on animals and focuses on the ways in which these subjects deal with ‘moral stress’ and ‘the caring-killing paradox’. It examines how slaughterhouse workers, bullfighters, and cockfighters establish ambivalent relationships with the animals, characterised by a certain paradoxical moral and affective action. Eleven in-depth interviews, lasting one to three hours, were conducted for this purpose, and are analysed through the qualitative data analysis software Atlas.ti, using thematic analysis as a qualitative research technique.

An Analysis Comparing Aggression Levels among Female National Volleyball and Netball Athletes in Sri Lanka

Aggression is an important psychological component that cannot be overlooked when it comes to increasing physical performance, particularly in invasion sports. This research was conducted with the intention of determining the extent of the violent behavior exhibited by the female national netball and volleyball players belonging to Sri Lanka. For the purpose of this study, fifteen female volleyball players and ten female netball players from national teams participated. The data was collected through the use of a standardized and systematic questionnaire, and the findings were analyzed through the application of statistical analysis using SPSS. A two-sample t-test and descriptive statistics were utilized in order to conduct the analysis of the data. The study found that the mean aggressiveness scores for the two national teams were 84.06 and 88.9, respectively. These values were based on aggression. According to the findings of the study, the levels of hostility exhibited by the female players on the country's national teams for netball and volleyball did not differ substantially from one another (p-value = 0.577). According to the findings of the study, the levels of aggressiveness exhibited by both teams were satisfactory, and there was no obvious difference in the levels of aggression exhibited by the female national members of Sri Lanka's netball and volleyball teams. An examination of the psychological situations of athletes and the implementation of strategies to optimize player psychology in order to increase athletic performance are both highlighted by the findings, which show the relevance of these two aspects.

Impact of Antisocial Personality Disorder on Morality and Ethics

People tend to use both sociopath and psychopath when describing people who have antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). However, a psychopath is not the same as a sociopath. They are not official diagnoses. Instead, they both describe aspects of the same condition: ASPD. A psychopath has emotional deficits and psychopathic describes a chronic condition in which the violent behavior or abnormal behavior a person might suffer from and can lead to criminal behavior or illegal things that are against societys norms; a sociopath is antisocial and breaks rules and sociopathic is ASPD, which is classified when a person may tend to overlook the right and wrong or sometimes feelings of others or can treat others harshly and have no guilt under mental disorders. Research have constantly associated ASPD with crime, and yet experiments and studies cannot ensure that people with ASPD are most likely to commit crimes absolutely. Thus, to learn ASPD better, understanding the mindsets of people with ASPD is the key. This review dives into the morality and ethics of ASPD through various references. The present study looked at ASPD with novel perspectives. With the combination of research, this paper then compare, contrast and conclude the ideas from the references. In the discussion, the study try to challenge some traditional ideas about ASPD and also conclude the limitations of the present study.

The Risk Screener Violence (RS-V): retrospective prediction of violent and aggressive incidents within the prison setting.

Physical and verbal violence toward staff or other detained individuals is a reoccurring problem within correctional facilities. Screening for violence risk within the prison setting could provide a valuable first step in the prevention of institutional violence. The brief and compact Risk Screener Violence (RS-V) has shown to be an efficient new method for assessing concerns regarding post-release violent offending for incarcerated persons. This study aimed to find out whether the RS-V is also able to predict future violent and aggressive incidents during imprisonment. The predictive validity of the RS-V for future violent and aggressive incidents during a follow-up time of 4 months within prison was analyzed, using a file-based design. Violent incidents toward staff and other inmates (physical violence and violent threats), other aggressive incidents (aggression toward objects and verbal disruptive behavior), and both categories combined, were included as outcome measures based on disciplinary reports. The RS-V showed medium to large predictive values for both violent and aggressive behavior during prison stay. In particular, good predictive values of the RS-V were found for violence toward prison staff. This study shows that, besides post-release violent recidivism, the RS-V is able to accurately predict future violent and aggressive incidents during prison stay. By correctly differentiating between low concern and high concern individuals, the RS-V aims to contribute to more personalized interventions and risk management and, subsequently, to improved prison safety. Future studies using prospective prison practice data are needed to further support the validity of the RS-V regarding institutional violence.
