Title: Christmas Depression - Does Christmas Get You Down Headings: Christmas Depression – Does Christmas Get You Down? Christmas Depression – Does Christmas Get You Down? Content: Christmas Depression - Does Christmas Get You Down Christmas Depression – Does Christmas Get You Down? Home » Christmas Depression – Does Christmas Get You Down? By Staff Christmas time is the most likely time of the year to experience depression. The suicide rate is higher during December than any other month, which tells us that Christmas depression should be taken quite seriously. Depression at Christmas time can be triggered by a multitude of things, such as losses, failures, and loneliness. These elements are exacerbated this time of year. People who have had deaths in the family or have experienced divorce or the loss of a child are more prone to depression, especially during the holiday season. It can be especially difficult to cope with a Christmas depression because everyone else seems so joyous, so reaching out feels more awkward and more remote. We don’t want to bring down those around us, we don’t want to feel “different” or alienate ourselves, and we don’t want to draw attention to ourselves either. We tend to disassociate ourselves from our own feelings and ask ourselves self defeating questions.

This is supposed to be the happiest time of the year and yet we can barely drag ourselves out of bed and become functional human beings. On top of feeling sad and dysfunctional, we feel out of place, and somehow illegitimate in our feelings. Not all holiday depression has anything to do with loss or failure or death, or even anything obvious. Sometimes people tend to just get depressed around the holidays.

It’s as though people who have experienced trauma have more of a “right” to experience holiday depression than those who appear to have everything that could need or want. People fail to recognize that holidays are stressful enough to trigger a depression. Sometimes the hustle and bustle and the need to produce (food, presents, parties, and the lot) are enough to seriously frustrate a person right into a depression. Feeling disconnected with the holidays can easily lead to a mild to moderate depression.

Feeling disconnected with the holidays can easily lead to a mild to moderate depression. Whether dealing with a loss or change or simply feeling overwhelmed by holiday sadness, the number one most important thing anyone can do is to tell someone. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Over the past ten years there has been a great awakening, so to speak, that has illuminated the issue of Christmas depression. People have become more educated and more understanding about the phenomenon and often already know that someone they love is suffering from depression before there is any actual confession. If you are alone at Christmastime and you realize that you are coming down with holiday depression, reach out to someone by phone, whether it is a friend, a relative, or a professional, just call someone.

Content: It can lead to losses of these very important things if the depression becomes serious enough. The onset of Christmas depression can sneak up on you in numerous forms. You may simply start to feel more tired than normal or start sleeping through the alarm. You may procrastinate on holiday shopping, even when those events that require your participation are only a few days away. You may start to feel randomly irritable, or snap at people without provocation. You may start to feel disconnected with the world and withdraw from those around you, even children. These are all signs that you are experiencing at least some form of holiday depression, and warning signs that you may need help in dealing with whatever is making you feel this way. Dealing with a holiday depression once you are able to recognize it is a vital step in returning to a better state of health. Naturally, my first recommendation is that you find a good counselor to speak with. The onset of holiday depression doesn’t have to mean that you require long term counseling or even medication.

Naturally, my first recommendation is that you find a good counselor to speak with. The onset of holiday depression doesn’t have to mean that you require long term counseling or even medication. It may just mean you have to learn to set better boundaries or learn to let go of the past or learn better coping skills when it comes to dealing with a tragedy. Nothing that you are experiencing is so terribly abnormal, and no one is going to react terribly to you if you ask for help. A good counselor can help you learn to set “holiday boundaries” while you are coping with holiday depression. “ Holiday boundaries” include things like limiting the number of holiday party invitations you and your family accept, scaling down Christmas to a level that feels more reasonable to everyone, asking for help in the Christmas preparations, and perhaps dealing a little differently with the specific tasks that tend to depress you more. If wrapping presents creates a huge sadness in you because it triggers and emotion or a memory, then perhaps you can get a significant other, an older child, or another relative to help you so that you don’t have to wrap nearly as many.

Title: 7 Advantages & Disadvantages of Taking a Small Business Loan Headings: 7 Advantages & Disadvantages of Taking a Small Business Loan 7 Advantages & Disadvantages of Taking a Small Business Loan 5 Advantages of Taking Small Business Loans 5 Disadvantages of Taking Small Business Loans Ajaero Tony Martins Content: If they give you a loan, they are only interested in getting their interest and partial loan payment installments. IV. Tax benefits-: Small businesses taking loans from banks and some other institutions enjoy some tax relief, since the percentage of profits used to repay the loan is exempt from tax. So, you only have to pay tax on the percentage of profits that you will keep for yourself. V. You don’t have much to lose- : Another benefit of getting a business loan is that, if your business fails, you may not necessarily have to pay back from your personal purse. In the event of failure, you can liquidate the business, which will help you pay back part—or even all—of the borrowed funds. In fact, many business owners keep this advantageous aspect in mind when borrowing money, because they will only lose their business in the event loan default, not necessarily their own money or the collateral used to secure the loan. And many creditors accept this repayment plan—of course, they don’t care about whatever you will lose to pay back the loan;

This area also includes drugstores and your local pharmacies that carry everyday local essentials. For some consumers, ordering their daily face cream online just isn’t fast enough for them. If they’re out of face cream they need to be able to walk to their drugstores and pick it up. Pet supplies The pet supplies industry is a popular and growing niche market of retail. Recession or not, consumers have continued to buy pet supplies, including food, clothing, even carriers and carriages, and that trend is not going away. Consumers see their pets as a part of their family, and they spend time researching the products they feed them, the products they sleep in and the products they play with. More importantly, pet stores, whether large or small, are often very good at meeting the personal connection with their shoppers, because many stores host in-store events such as adoptions. Another appealing factor of these stores is that shoppers can bring their pets with them. These types of personal connections really drive people to the stores.

Automobile sales One reason physical stores still matter in the sale of automobiles can be attributed to the complexity and size of the purchase, and equally the amount of money involved. The larger the purchase, the more a consumer will engage in multiple ways to investigate the product before a transaction is made. For instance, consumers looking for a new or used car will first look online to read reviews, but ultimately want to see and likely test drive a car before buying.

I recommend you seek the advice of a corporate attorney and accountant for better information on asset protection. The lender won’t be entitled to any of the profits you make from your business; all you have to do is repay the loan within the fixed time frame. You can typically deduct interest payments ( but not principal repayments) as a business expense. The interest you repay on your loan is tax-deductible. This means that debt financing shields part of your business income from taxes and lowers your tax liability every year. Your interest is usually based on the prime interest rate. Taking on debt can build your business credit, which is good for future borrowing and for insurance rates. 10 Disadvantages of Debt Financing for Small Businesses You will have to pay interest, which is usually carried as a liability on the company’s balance sheet.

Avoid letting media or political agendas get in the way of deciding what’s best for your students. Embrace technology The world has gone tech, and you should endavour to meet up. Avoiding this issue would lead you nowhere and it can even help in bringing your school down in ratings. Learn to apply technology in the necessary areas in the school and teach your teachers to get conversant with them. Keep the central office informed Hoarding information may hurt you more than it helps you when it comes to running your school. You have to realize that your teachers and other school administrators can be your allies or your critics depending on how you treat them. If you treat them well, they would stand by you, but if you brush them aside, they would always use you as the butt of their side talk. So be sure to ask for their advice and let them know stories of your journey from time to time. Always be kind and affectionate When it comes to your students, faculty, and parents, you should always be kind and affectionate to them.

However, some of these interactions can exemplify negative social capital. One of the negative effects of social capital through bridging is cross-cultural contamination in which supposed exclusive or unique norms and values become blurred within a particular culture or dispersed across different cultures. A specific example of the aforementioned is cultural appropriation a dominant culture adopts elements of a minority culture and used them outside of their original cultural context.

Their staunch religiosity prompted them to defend and reclaim Jerusalem and other places from the Muslims. Of course, the earlier phase of the First Crusade was disastrous. Inexperienced nobles and peasants led by Peter the Hermit formed armies in their attempt to heed the request of Pope Urban II and the Church. Chroniclers and historians labeled this phase as the People’s Crusade. Unity within Christian Armies Historian Jonathan Riley-Smith explained the failures of the People’s Crusade. In the book “The Crusades: A History,” he noted that the lack of military discipline resulted in the absence of a clear-cut direction. Several factions within the army fought with unintended adversaries. Other groups fought over the food supply.

Title: What is Thermal Bridging, and How to Stop It In a Home Headings: What is Thermal Bridging, and How to Stop It In a Home What is Thermal Bridging, and How to Stop It In a Home Thermal Bridging in Homes How to Break the Thermal Bridge Summary Content: What is Thermal Bridging, and How to Stop It In a Home What is Thermal Bridging, and How to Stop It In a Home Posted on April 4, 2020 within General gif (1×1) Thermal bridging is the movement of heat across an object that is more conductive than the materials around it. The conductive material creates a path of least resistance for heat. Thermal bridging can be a major source of energy loss in homes and buildings, leading to higher utility bills. Thermal Bridging in Homes A significant thermal bridge can be created in residential home construction by the studs in the wall. American homes have traditionally been built with 2x4 wood studs spaced 16” on center, with fiberglass batt insulation added to the cavity. Although the fiberglass insulation may have an r-value of R-15 or more, it can only be placed in between the wood studs. These studs are more conductive than the fiberglass insulation surrounding them, so although the insulation reduces energy loss through the wall, it does not stop energy loss across the thermal bridge. Nearly 25% of a home’s wall is made of wood studs. Even if you have fiberglass insulation in the cavity, it adds up to one whole wall of the home with zero insulation. As you are paying to make your home comfortable, 25% of your walls are working against you.

In the summer, sweltering heat from the outside works its way across the studs into your air conditioned space. In the winter, the money you’re spending to heat your home is leaking into the cold outdoors. How to Break the Thermal Bridge To combat the problem of thermal bridging, the studs must be covered with continuous insulation. During home construction, insulation can easily be added to the wall system to break the thermal bridge.

How to Break the Thermal Bridge To combat the problem of thermal bridging, the studs must be covered with continuous insulation. During home construction, insulation can easily be added to the wall system to break the thermal bridge. In a remodeling situation, a layer of insulation can only be added from the inside or the outside of the home. Adding insulation from the interior is typically difficult and expensive, since it requires a complete remodel to replace drywall, trim, or other interior finishes. The easiest way to add a layer of continuous insulation to an existing home is on the outside, under new siding. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) says “when new siding is to be installed it is a good idea to consider adding insulation under new siding.” By adding insulation under new siding, not only do you break the thermal bridge and improve energy efficiency, but you are also able to leave the interior of the home undisturbed and get an exterior makeover at the same time.

Offering Forgiveness Offering Praise Thinking About How You Can Make Your Partner Happy Giving Without the Expectation of Receiving Listening to our Partners and Acting Upon Their Requests We Benefit from Being Generous Too What Both Sides Need in Any Relationship ARE YOU LIVING BOLD? Content: We like it even more when our partner acts upon our requests. Acting upon our partner’s wishes is the best way to let them know that we are listening and caring about what they say. We Benefit from Being Generous Too Kindness and generosity are linked to happiness. In fact, research from the University of Zurich suggests that those who are habitually generous may have long-term well-being and happiness. Those who are generous may also show physical health benefits. A 2013 study published in the American Journal of Public Health suggests that kind and generous people live longer, are protected from the negative impacts of stress, are more optimistic and have lower blood pressure. Kind and generous individuals are also more successful romantically. What Both Sides Need in Any Relationship Of course, kindness and generosity aren’t just good for romantic relationships. Any strong relationship requires both ends knowing that they are valued, noticed, appreciated, respected, loved and desired. If you aren’t fulfilled in any of these areas in any of your relationships, maybe you need to evaluate how your partner makes you feel and decide if they are a true friend.

Title: Limitations and weakness of qualitative research methods Headings: Limitations and weakness of qualitative research methods Limitations and weakness of qualitative research methods Time consuming process No result verification in qualitative research Labour intensive approach Difficult to investigate causality References Content: Similarly qualitative research requires well experienced researchers to obtain the targeted data from the group of respondents. Also different conclusions are derrived based on the same information depending on the personal characteristics of the researcher (Maxwell 2005). Use 5E3BCCB908B47 to save 6000 on 6001 - 10000 words standard order of research analysis service. Difficult to investigate causality Researchers find it difficult to investigate causality between different research phenomena. Qualitative research is little complex to explain the difference in the quality and quantity of information obtained from different respondents and arriving at non-consistent conclusions (Barbour 2000). For example, to determine if human development is dependent on the level of education, interview or focus group data is collected from the residents of Uttar Pradesh. It is difficult to determine the effect, owing to varied perspective which is difficult to gauge. It is due to the lack of statistical results, which would have made the procedure more systematic. Qualitative study requires thoughtful planning to ensure the obtained results accurate. There is no way to analyze the qualitative data mathematically.

Too Many Voices & Ideas Slow Business Agility In terms of disadvantages, having employees a part of the decision-making process can slow things down or have the company follow unproven ideas that dead end. This can cost precious time, losing time to market, allowing the competition to take advantage. A glut of ideas is not always the best way for maintaining high business agility. Given the high number of choices, it can be difficult to discern the best one. This may require more time for research in order to make an educated choice. Or, once a decision is made, that choice might not be followed consistently, causing the company to pivot without rhyme or reason. There’s also the issue of ego. If everyone is vying to get heard, they might be motivated by self-interest rather than the overall goal of the project and company. This creates division and conflicts that are not good for business.

Job Contribution Immigrants are more likely than native-born Americans to start their own businesses. 18% of small businesses are curated or run by immigrants. More businesses mean more jobs and more opportunities for native-born people and immigrants alike. These businesses contribute to our national economy by stimulating consumer confidence and paying taxes. The Value of People More immigrants are good for native-born American workers. American workers with a high-school diploma or better are shown to see a pay increase when more immigrants are introduced to the workforce. Highly-skilled immigrants are incredibly important too.

Title: Fixtures and home appliances: what comes with the house? - Buying, Advice Headings: Fixtures and home appliances: what comes with the house? Fixtures and home appliances: what comes with the house? What should be included in a house sale? It all rests on the sale agreement What about appliances? How to negotiate Content: Buyers and sellers can find themselves confused by what exactly is supposed to be included in a house sale. As a general rule, if something is considered to be part of the property, then it's a fixture. These items will usually be included in the property sale. Fixtures include built-in cupboards and wardrobes, kitchen islands (and any stools that go with them), windows and doors, and their keys. You can also include wall-to-wall carpets, bathroom suites, established shrubs or trees and light fittings (though the seller may want to take the shades with them). If you're not sure if something counts as a fixture, ask how well attached it is. If something is cemented or nailed down or fixed in such a way that removal would damage the property or the room it's in, it's most likely a fixture. It all rests on the sale agreement If you're not sure if something counts as a fixture, ask how well attached it is. If something is cemented or nailed down or fixed in such a way that removal would damage the property or the room it's in, it's most likely a fixture. The sale agreement detailing what is included in the sale of the house serves as a guide for both parties.

Title: Painting tips for your outside walls - Diy, Lifestyle Headings: Painting tips for your outside walls Painting tips for your outside walls New brick Previously painted surfaces Damp surfaces Mould-infected surfaces Access for application Painting Antonella Dési Top Articles Content: Oil painted surfaces: Wash with a strong cleaning agent, and then rinse with clean water. Scrape off any loose or flaking paint, make good any deep cracks and holes, and fill shallow cracks with suitable exterior filler. Emulsion painted surfaces: Wash with a detergent, and then rinse with clean water – anything stronger will damage the emulsioned surface. Where water penetrates the surface, allow it to dry completely before you start painting. Again, scrape off loose flaking paint and then repair cracks. Damp surfaces Walls that display signs of either damp or mould growth must be treated before you can paint them. Where surfaces are prone to damp, such as basement walls or garden walls, you must apply a coat of bituminous emulsion sealer and allow it to dry thoroughly. Mould-infected surfaces Mould growths are common on exterior surfaces where moisture is present as a result of the atmosphere, structural faults or defective plumbing.

Title: Do You Know These Essential Zoning Terms? Headings: Content: Though it is unlawful to expressly exclude people based on race or ethnicity, regulations relating to development densities can still have exclusionary effects. For example, communities will limit the number of dwellings permitted, reducing the housing supply, and thus lowering opportunities for new buyers. Further, reducing the housing supply increases market prices, having the effect of excluding lower-income families. Similarly, zoning regulations that limit or prohibit low-income multi-family complexes have the direct effect of excluding lower-income households from residing in the community. Down-Zoning. Down-zoning occurs when a parcel is rezoned to a classification permitting only less intensive uses. Communities will utilize down-zoning to limit less-desired intensive uses. For example, a community may rezone a parcel from a multi-family designation to a single-family district. E Exactions. New development will often increase the use of, and the need for, improved or new public infrastructure and facilities, e.g., water and sewer lines, road improvements, and parks.

New development will often increase the use of, and the need for, improved or new public infrastructure and facilities, e.g., water and sewer lines, road improvements, and parks. Exactions are how a community forces developers to contribute to the cost of such infrastructure. They can take the form of requiring a developer to pay for a portion of the infrastructure improvements necessitated by the development, impact fees, or the donation of a portion of the developer’s land. F Floating Zones. These are districts that are permitted under the zoning ordinance, but not placed on the zoning map. They are typically used for unique uses (e.g., major entertainment centers, intensive industrial uses) that are anticipated in the future, but no specific location has been identified within the community.

Kennedy, Web Content Writer, Denver Answered Jul 18, 2018 Originally Juliet wasn't opposed to marrying Paris and told her mother that she would meet him at a party to see how she felt about him. At the party, Juliet meets Romeo and the two soon secretly marry. This secret marriage makes Juliet unable to legally marry Paris but at that point, she doesn't want to anyway. Juliet was just shy of 14 at the time of her marriage to Romeo and he was probably around 15. This young age could be part of the reason for their hasty decision.

After Romeo is banished, Juliet's tears are believed to be in response to the death of her cousin Tybalt. Capulet decides that Julie needsto marry Paris.

Title: Headings: Content: Tyrants became known for holding power through cruel and unfair methods. From about 650 B.C.E. to 500 B.C.E., people in some Greek city-states looked to men who claimed that they wanted to overthrow kings or oligarchs and to make life better for the people. These men became tyrants because they just took over power— usually throwing out the current leader with violence. Even though they both have only one person who rules, a tyranny is different from a monarchy. Tyrants rule by taking over power. They are not given the right to have power (unlike a king who takes power because his father was also king). Most tyrants tried to scare the people into accepting their power. But there were several tyrants who actually did good things for the people. These tyrants ruled by helping the people: • They promised the people more rights • They lowered taxes • They used their army to protect the people Even though some tyrants used their power for good, there were always more cruel and harsh tyrants than good ones.

This eventually caused the people in many city-states to revolt and use their strength in numbers to throw the tyrant out of power. By 500 B.C.E., a new form of government was created in the city-state of Athens. This type of government, called democracy, gave all of the power to the people. It would soon become one of the most popular and longest- lasting types of government—not only in Greece, but in the whole world. Student Handout 3 The tyrant Hippias marches through the city-state of Athens, where he threaten to kill anyone who disobeys.

At this crucial time in the life of the small business and its proprietors, disability buy-out insurance moves the burden of financing the buyout from the individual small business owners and the business to the insurance company. One Product with Many Solutions In addition to providing financial security to the owners and the small business, disability buy-out insurance resolves various conflicting issues that will confront the remaining business owners and the disabled owner in the circumstance of an owner’s disability: Where will the business owners get the money to buy-out the disabled owner? Will the disabled business owner sell their interest in the business to a competitor? How long can the business continue to operate with the disabled business owner? In addition to the security of protecting vital financial resources for health-related or other expenses, disability buy-out insurance funds give the disabled owner peace of mind that his or her investment in the small business will be reclaimed: Where is my ROI for founding and growing the business? Why would I let remaining business owners run the business using my money? How can I recover my investment capital?

Why would I let remaining business owners run the business using my money? How can I recover my investment capital? Incorporating the Disability Buy-Out into the Buy-Sell Agreement In the entity purchase buy-sell agreement, all business stakeholders enter into an arrangement with the small business, providing that the small business will purchase, and the disabled owner will sell, their stake in the small business to the business entity in the event of their total disability. The business will own and will be the loss payee of the disability buy-out insurance policy on each business owner. Tax Implications to Consider Irrespective of the type of buy-sell agreement, the insurance premiums paid for the disability buy-out insurance by the small business owner or by the business itself are not deductible, although the disability benefits are collected tax-free. Although unique to the cross purchase agreement and the trusteed cross purchase agreement, if the small business bonuses the premium amount to the business owners as extra compensation, the premiums paid are deductible to the business as compensation expenses, but the insurance premiums must be incorporated in the business owner’s income. The disabled owner may then acknowledge a capital gain on the difference between his/her basis in the small business and the amount he/she is compensated upon the sale of his/her stake.

We know the purpose of the reflow process is to melt the powder particles in the solder paste. Along with that, it wets the surfaces being joined together, and finally, solidify the solder to form a strong metallurgical bond. The profile can be broken down into four zones – the preheat, soak, reflow, and cool-down zones. If the pre-heat area has an excessively slow of a ramp rate it can account for bridging.

Explore more about this report - Request free sample copy Fundamentals Governing EVSE Market The key trend observed in the EVSE market is increasing penetration of DC fast chargers in the market. The DC fast chargers are capable of charging batteries of electric vehicles at rapid pace. Furthermore, a DC fast charger does not require an on-board converter installed inside the vehicle for current conversion. The rising electrification of vehicles and range anxiety among electric vehicle users are leading both public and private players to install more DC fast chargers at public and commercial places. The government is playing a major role in the growth of the EVSE market as it mandates policies and setting targets related to the adoption of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. For instance, in South Korea, the government has set target to install 10,000 fast electric vehicle chargers by 2022. Similarly, India is targeting to install 2,700 charging stations in cities above four million inhabitants by 2023, including fast and ultra-fast charging stations along major highways.

This is called the “ critical inner voice .” Dr. Lisa Firestone, who co-authored the book Conquer Your Critical Inner Voice wrote, “The critical inner voice is formed out of painful early life experiences in which we witnessed or experienced hurtful attitudes toward us or those close to us. As we grow up, we unconsciously adopt and integrate this pattern of destructive thoughts toward ourselves and others.” So, what events or attitudes shape this inner critic? The experiences we have with our influential early caretakers can be at the root of our insecurity as adults. Imagine a child being yelled at by a parent. “

I’m so fat.” These attitudes don’t even have to be verbalized to influence the child. A parent’s absence can leave children feeling insecure and believing there is something fundamentally wrong with them. An intrusive parent can cause children to become introverted or self-reliant in ways that make them feel insecure or untrusting of others. Studies have even shown that exaggerated praise can be damaging to a child’s self-esteem. The reason for this is that children must feel seen for who they are in order to feel secure.

Insecurity in Relationships Whether we are single, dating or in a serious, long-term relationship, there are many ways our critical inner voice can creep in to our romantic lives. Relationships, in particular, can stir up past hurts and experiences. They can awaken insecurities we’ve long buried and bring up emotions we don’t expect. Moreover, many of us harbor unconscious fears of intimacy. Being close to someone else can shake us up and bring these emotions and critical inner voices even closer to the surface. Listening to this inner critic can do serious damage to our interpersonal relationships. It can cause us to feel desperate toward our partner or pull back when things start to get serious.

Classical conditioning is a learning process first discovered by the Russian physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov in the early 1900s. The discovery was accidental and happened while he was conducting experiments on digestion in dogs. His whole experiment dealt with his experiment on his dog Circa. He went on to dedicate his whole life to find out the underlying principles of Classical Conditioning and also went on to win Nobel Prize for his contribution in the field of psychology. Classical Conditioning Theory The theory of classical conditioning deals with the learning process leading us to gain a new behavior via the process of association. To put in simpler terms, a new learned response is produced in an individual, whether animal or person, by linking two stimuli. The classic example would be the Pavlov’s experiment, where he conditioned the dog to salivate at the sound of the bell. What is classical conditioning Video How classical conditioning works?

Conditioned emotional response can be referred as learned emotional reaction or response to certain conditioned stimulus. The term “Condition-ed” has been made popular by American psychologists as it tends to make more sense when defining the term CER. The exact translation of Pavlov’s terms from Russian to English defines the term CER as Conditional Emotional Response. How Conditioned Emotional Response works? The process of acquiring a Conditioned Emotional Response works in the same theory as the classical conditioning learning method. An organism is exposed to a certain stimulus which then produces a biologically significant even and the connection is made. Emotional responses could be anxiety, happiness, sadness, pain, and variety of other emotions that can be triggered in an organism. All emotional responses are regulated by the autonomic nervous system.

Title: Violence, Crime, and Violent Video Games: Is There a Correlation? Headings: Violence, Crime, and Violent Video Games: Is There a Correlation? Violence, Crime, and Violent Video Games: Is There a Correlation? Impact of video games on behavior Conflicting findings Video games and criminality Conclusion Disclosures: References: Content: These various studies suggest that despite an increase in aggressiveness, violence in video games could be the cause of a reduction in criminality. Moreover, it appears that the relationship between media and crime is more complex than that revealed by experimental studies. Although it has been suggested that several mass murderers were influenced by violent video games, scientific data do not support any causal link between exposure to video game violence and school shootings. 26 Furthermore, no evidence was found of the use of violent video games by the perpetrators of mass homicide. 27 Conclusion The concerns about the effects of violent video games on aggressive thought patterns, emotions, and behavior are justified. Until now, no study has been able to show that exposure to violent digital games is associated with an increase in criminality, aggressiveness, or violent behavior. Nevertheless, these paradoxical results are not incompatible. There is indeed a tremendous difference between aggressiveness and hetero-aggressive outburst. It is likely that the answer lies in the complexity of the concept of committing an act. Exposure to violent video games could be one factor, among many others, in a constellation of parameters leading an individual to commit an aggressive act.

Research studies One of many factors References: References Content: What we call entertainment is really propaganda for violence. If you manufacture guns, you don’t need to advertise, because it is done by our entertainment industry.” In reality, the number of violent crimes has been falling, but the public’s perception is that violence has increased. According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, the overall violent victimization rate (eg, rape and assaults) decreased by 40% from 2001 to 2010. Similarly, the murder rate in the US has dropped by almost half, from 9.8 per 100,000 people in 1991 to 5.0 in 2009. Yet the propaganda, Tanay said, makes people feel that crime is everywhere and that guns are needed for protection. Asked about the hundreds of murderers he has examined and possible links to media violence, Tanay said, “Most homicides are committed by people who know each other, and who have some momentary conflict and have a weapon handy. Usually only hit men, who are very rare, kill strangers.” Tanay did acknowledge, however, that some mentally ill individuals are vulnerable to dramatized violence. “ They are naturally more vulnerable, because they are in the community, they are sick, and they may misinterpret something.”

Suicide is a common cause of death in prisons, with rates substantially higher than in the general population. It is a worldwide problem, and one that appears to be recently on the rise. Studies from England and Wales in 2016 reported its highest incidence of suicide since 1999, with the rate among male prisoners 5 to 6 times higher than the general population, and among female prisoners as much as 20 times higher. 1 Suicide in prisons is multifactorial, with contributing factors that include medical and mental health issues as well as those involving family, lack of purposeful activity, and conditions of the specific prison environment, as well as the stress of adjusting to incarceration.

A number of nonenvironmental factors also contribute to increased risk for suicide in prison, including poor social and family support, a history of mental illness and/or emotional problems, withdrawal from substance abuse, and a history of prior suicide attempts. 4,6 Seena Fazel, MD, from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, explained to Psychiatry Advisor that in the participants in studies she collaborated on in Wales and England, “social support, which can come from a variety of sources including family, was a risk factor for severe self-harm episodes in prison.” She also noted that separation from family could be a contributing factor. “ When we systematically reviewed the literature in 2008, 6 there was a slight increase in suicide risk for those who were married,” she said.

According to the 2013 Hayes report, “many jail suicides occur in facilities lacking comprehensive suicide prevention programs, with only 20% having written policies encompassing all the essential components.” 2 Hayes 2 and others outlined the essential features of an effective suicide prevention program, which include annual training and retraining of all correctional, medical, and mental health staff; evaluations of inmates at intake and ongoing screening/assessment for suicide risk; and procedures for effective communication about prisoner state of mind and suicide risk between outside entities (particularly from local jail transport) and correctional facilities, and between facility staff and the suicidal inmate.

Physical prevention strategies need to include suicide-resistant housing and clothing, as well as restrictions and careful supervision during showers, telephone calls, and visiting hours, commensurate with risk level. Procedures for emergency response to a suicide attempt include prompt reporting to the facility’s chain of command and notification of the family of a suicide victim, as well as multidisciplinary examination of the inmate suicide through a mortality review. “ Correctional facility officials should not conclude that an inmate suicide was not preventable unless they have demonstrated that their facility initiated and maintained a comprehensive suicide prevention program,” Hayes wrote. “The role of suicide risk assessment is a complicated area,” Dr Fazel cautioned. “ Identification and rapid evidence-based treatment of drug and alcohol withdrawal, and identification and clear pathways to treatment for prisoners with mental illness, are important.

They’re also sensitive to the psychological benefits of owning certain products, being associated with, and having an emotional connection with certain brands. These things maintain a large Value despite a significant increase in Cost. Unsurprisingly, research shows that consumers having an emotional connection with a brand are less price-sensitive.

The findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, show that increasing socioeconomic development is an especially strong predictor of increasing individualistic practices and values in a country over time. “Much of the research on the manifestation of rising individualism—showing, for example, increasing narcissism and higher divorce rates—has focused on the United States. Our findings show that this pattern also applies to other countries that are not Western or industrialized,” says psychology researcher Henri C. Santos of the University of Waterloo. “ Although there are still cross-national differences in individualism-collectivism, the data indicate that, overall, most countries are moving towards greater individualism.” Drawing from national census data and data collected for the World Values Survey, Santos, senior study author Igor Grossmann (University of Waterloo), and study co-author Michael E.W. Varnum (Arizona State University) were able to examine 51 years’ worth of data detailing individualist practices and values in a total of 78 countries. In general, individualist cultures tend to conceive of people as self-directed and autonomous, and they tend to prioritize independence and uniqueness as cultural values. Collectivist cultures, on the other hand, tend to see people as connected with others and embedded in a broader social context – as such, they tend to emphasize interdependence, family relationships, and social conformity. To measure individualistic practices across cultures, the researchers examined data on household size, divorce rates, and proportion of people living alone.

Title: Individualistic Practices and Values Increasing Around the World – Association for Psychological Science – APS Headings: Individualistic Practices and Values Increasing Around the World Individualistic Practices and Values Increasing Around the World Content: Although there are still cross-national differences in individualism-collectivism, the data indicate that, overall, most countries are moving towards greater individualism.” Drawing from national census data and data collected for the World Values Survey, Santos, senior study author Igor Grossmann (University of Waterloo), and study co-author Michael E.W. Varnum (Arizona State University) were able to examine 51 years’ worth of data detailing individualist practices and values in a total of 78 countries. In general, individualist cultures tend to conceive of people as self-directed and autonomous, and they tend to prioritize independence and uniqueness as cultural values. Collectivist cultures, on the other hand, tend to see people as connected with others and embedded in a broader social context – as such, they tend to emphasize interdependence, family relationships, and social conformity. To measure individualistic practices across cultures, the researchers examined data on household size, divorce rates, and proportion of people living alone. To measure individualistic values, they examined data on the importance that people place on friends versus family, how important people believe it is to teach children to be independent, and the degree to which people prioritize self-expression as a national goal. Santos, Varnum, and Grossmann also looked at data on specific socio-ecological factors – including the level of socioeconomic development, disaster frequency, incidence of infectious disease, and extreme temperatures in each country – to examine whether they might account for any shifts in individualism over time. Overall, the results showed a clear pattern: Both individualistic practices and values increased across the globe over time. Specifically, statistical models indicated that individualism has increased by about 12% worldwide since 1960.

Overall, the results showed a clear pattern: Both individualistic practices and values increased across the globe over time. Specifically, statistical models indicated that individualism has increased by about 12% worldwide since 1960. Only four countries—Cameroon, Malawi, Malaysia, and Mali—showed a substantial decrease in individualistic practices over time, while 34 out of 41 countries showed a notable increase. And only five countries—Armenia, China, Croatia, Ukraine, and Uruguay—showed a substantial decrease in individualistic values over time, with 39 out of 53 countries showing a substantial increase. While the data indicated an overarching trend toward greater individualism, the researchers noted that sizable differences between countries remained through 2011. Several socio-ecological factors — including more frequent disasters, less prevalent infectious disease, and less climatic stress in poorer countries — were linked with individualism, but increased socioeconomic development was the strongest predictor of increased individualism over time. Various aspects of development were related to increases in individualism, particularly increases in the proportion of white-collar jobs, in education levels, and in household income.

Title: Pavlov's Dogs and Classical Conditioning - Psychologist World Headings: Pavlov's Dogs and Classical Conditioning Pavlov's Dogs and Classical Conditioning How Pavlov's experiments with dogs demonstrated that our behavior can be changed using conditioning. Pavlov's Dog Experiments Did You Know? Experiment Procedure 'Unconditioning' through experimental extinction Recovery Forward Conditioning vs Backward Conditioning Delay Conditioning vs Trace Conditioning Temporal Conditioning Generalisation Modern Classical Conditioning Content: CONDITIONED STIMULUS (CS, eg. tone) > CONDITIONED RESPONSE (CR, eg. salivation) The implications for Pavlov's findings are significant as they can be applied to many animals, including humans. For example, when you first saw someone holding a balloon and a pin close to it, you may have watched in anticipation as they burst the balloon. After this had happened multiple times, you would associate holding the pin to the balloon with the 'bang' that followed. Like Pavlov's dogs, classical conditioning was leading you to associate a neutral stimulus (the pin approaching a balloon) with bursting of the balloon, leading to a conditioned response (flinching, wincing or plugging one's ears) to this now conditioned stimulus. Similarly, Craik and Lockhart's Levels of Processing (1972) theory on memory suggests that the deep processing (e.g. repeated rehearsal) of a piece of information can lead to an increased likelihood that it will enter a person's long-term memory and the response that can be recalled at a later date 3. In Depth Craik & Lockhart (1972) Levels of Processing Theory Traditional theories of memory segmented human memory into different stores. Learn more Let us look now at some of the nuances of Pavlov's findings in relation to classical conditioning. 'Unconditioning' through experimental extinction Once an animal has been inadvertently conditioned to produce a response to a stimulus, can this association ever be broken?

Title: Openness to Experience Personality Trait - Psychologist World Headings: Openness to Experience Personality Trait Personality Openness to Experience Personality Trait The openness to experience personality trait measures our receptivity to new ideas and experiences. A ‘Big Five’ Factor Measuring Openness Openness and Intelligence Individual Differences in Openness Age and Openness Gender Cultural Differences How open to experience are you? Take the quiz Content: The findings of the study suggest that as we grow older, our willingness to embrace new ideas and experiences gradually decreases ( Costa et al, 1986 ). Gender Differences have also found between openness to experience in men and women. When openness as a personality factor is distinguished from intellect, women have been found to exhibit higher levels of openness than their male counterparts. However, on a facet level, conflicting correlations - both positive and negative - have been found between gender and the individual facets associated with openness ( Weisberg, DeYoung and Hirsh, 2011 ). Cultural Differences Can openness be found across different cultures, or is it a trait that is limited to the Western cultures in which it was identified? expand your mind expand your mind Access key explainers, guides, theories, quizzes and more with membership Sign Up Measures of openness depend upon the lexical approach of describing personality using a person’s native language. Therefore, the English-based inventories used to evaluate openness cannot be used to identify the trait in non-English speaking cultures. As a result, psychologists have developed localized questionnaires for different cultures, attempting to find equivalent terms that describe facets of the five factor traits in languages such as French, German and Spanish. A series of studies investigating the replicability of Big Five factor observations in non-English speaking countries have found traits such as openness to be universally applicable across a diverse range of cultures.
