1. Partner violence occurs in various relationships and contexts beyond marriage. Common terms used to describe partner violence include battering, abuse, assault, and domestic violence.
2. Incidence rates of partner violence are high, with over 2 million victims in the US annually and millions of children witnessing or living with violence. Emerging approaches to address partner violence began in the 1970s.
3. There are many psychosocial and cultural factors that influence partner violence, as well as myths and realities surrounding victims. Leaving an abusive relationship can be dangerous for the victim. Intervention strategies focus on assessment, support, safety planning, and counseling.
This document discusses depression, including its causes, symptoms, and treatments. It notes that depression can be diagnosed in several forms and have a variety of symptoms, including loss of pleasure, changes in appetite or sleep, low mood, and thoughts of death. Common treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy, antidepressants, and interpersonal therapy. The document also discusses challenges related to depression in the workplace, such as work stressors, and recommends that employers increase awareness and support for employee mental health issues.
This document provides an overview of suicide and homicide. It discusses Edwin Shneidman's foundational work in suicidology. It examines the scope of suicide globally and in the US. It reviews psychological, sociological, and interpersonal theories of suicide. It discusses characteristics of those who commit suicide and similarities between suicide and homicide. The document analyzes assessment approaches and intervention strategies, and notes particular considerations for older adults.
Suicide is a major issue among medical students. There are several theories for what causes suicide, including sociological, psychological, behavioral, cognitive, and neuroscience theories. Durkheim proposed that suicide results from a lack of social integration or control. Freud saw suicide as hostility turned inward. More recent theories emphasize hopelessness, perceived burdensomeness, and thwarted belongingness. Risk can be assessed by evaluating for depression, suicidal thoughts or plans, and life stressors. Prevention requires awareness, identifying at-risk students, encouraging help-seeking behaviors, and treating mental health issues.
Complex PTSD and Bordeline Personality DisorderDave Butler
The document provides an overview and comparison of PTSD, Complex PTSD (CPTSD), and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It discusses the core concepts and diagnostic criteria for each disorder. CPTSD is described as resulting from prolonged, repetitive trauma such as childhood abuse and having additional symptoms beyond classic PTSD, including affect dysregulation, consciousness/attention problems, self-perception issues, difficulties with relationships and making meaning of the world. The document notes similarities between CPTSD and BPD in several symptom domains.
Deliberate Self Harm Among Children And Adolescentsgaz12000
This document provides a summary of a research briefing on deliberate self-harm among children and adolescents. It defines self-harm and notes that it most often involves overdoses and cutting. Repeated self-harm is associated with increased suicide risk. Girls self-harm more than boys up to age 16. Factors that increase self-harm risk include mental health issues, a history of self-harm, an abusive home life, poor parent communication, and living in care. Common triggers are stressful life events like abuse. Self-harm is often considered a coping strategy and way to relieve pain or communicate distress.
It is about suicide in short which is collected from many sources including this website. It is in such a form that one can easily take an overview about suicide.

Specifically discusses how to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment and the implications for different levels of risk. Also highlights, ethical and legal responsibilities of the practitioner.
Child Maltreatment in Abnormal Psychology Textbooksteachtrauma
The present study analyzed how 10 abnormal psychology textbooks addressed child maltreatment (CM). It was found that information about CM varied significantly between textbooks in terms of quantity, quality, and accuracy. While all textbooks linked CM to some psychological disorders, coverage was inconsistent and often lacked definitions and emphasis. Some textbooks also presented controversial or misleading claims about CM without addressing counter evidence. The study concludes that textbooks could provide students with a more comprehensive and balanced understanding of CM and its psychological impacts by adhering to certain quality standards.
All we can hope for is to provide positive conditions for PTSD management
The most positive results have come from cognitive and mindfulness methods. However, they are compromised by intruding thoughts, hypervigilance and attention deficit
Compound movements performed in relatively isolated (“protected”) environments, heavy enough to require complete recruitment of cortical (motor cortex) and non-cortical (extra-pyramidal) CNS resources may “short-circuit” the automatic trauma response.
In other words, technique-oriented compound movement strength training may provide the necessary resources for trauma survivors to gain some control over their lives
Characteristics of Adjustment Disorders & Characteristics of Post Traumatic S...ANCYBS
Adjustment disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are both mental health conditions that can develop after experiencing stressful or traumatic events. Adjustment disorders involve difficulty coping with stressors and result in emotional or behavioral symptoms that impair functioning. PTSD involves experiencing trauma symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance behaviors in response to a traumatic event. While adjustment disorders are usually short-lived and respond well to therapy, PTSD symptoms are more severe and long-lasting without treatment. The documents provide details on the diagnostic criteria, symptoms, prevalence, course, and treatment options for each disorder.
The document discusses Durkheim's sociological theories on suicide. Durkheim established that suicide rates are higher among certain demographic groups, such as men, singles, the unmarried, Protestants. He identified four main types of suicide: egoistic, altruistic, anomic, and fatalistic. The document then discusses reasons for and statistics on suicide in Pakistan, ways it is committed, effects on survivors, and strategies for prevention.
The document discusses the effects of bullying. It defines bullying and describes the different types, including emotional, verbal, and physical abuse. It also outlines some of the negative consequences of bullying for both the bully and the victim. Bullies are more likely to engage in criminal behavior later in life, while victims may experience depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem that impacts their school performance. The causes of bullying behavior are complex, but some characteristics of children who bully include a lack of empathy, pushing limits, and an ability to justify their actions.
The document summarizes a study on bullying behaviors among faculty and administrators in higher education. Key findings include:
- 75% of observed bullies were male, with bullies generally between ages 41-70. Victims tended to be between ages 31-60.
- The likelihood of bullying behaviors increased with higher faculty rank. Victims were less likely to hold higher ranks.
- While most administrators and faculty observed some bullying, there was no significant difference in the frequency of administrators bullying faculty versus faculty bullying administrators.
This document provides an overview of a study on the effects of bullying among high school students. It includes an introduction to bullying, a literature review on the topic, and an outline of the study's methodology. The study aims to understand the profile of bullied students, identify the causes and effects of bullying, and make recommendations. It will use a descriptive research method and questionnaire to collect data from high school students in Cauayan City, Isabela, Philippines. The results of the study seek to help students, parents, and educators address the issue of bullying.
This document discusses a study on the implementation of anti-bullying acts in selected public secondary schools. It aims to assess the types of bullying experienced by students, how bullying affects students' attendance, interactions, exams and homework, and the problems teachers face in enforcing anti-bullying laws. The study will be conducted through surveys and focus groups of teachers and students at two schools. It seeks to determine the extent of bullying and develop action plans to reduce bullying and strengthen implementation of anti-bullying policies in schools.
The impact of bullying in adolescents on schoolDenni Domingo
This document is a research paper on the impact of bullying in adolescents at school. It was submitted by 6 students to their professor and discusses several key points about bullying:
1. Bullying is a widespread problem that affects millions of students worldwide and can have both short-term and long-term negative consequences for both bullies and their victims.
2. There are different types of bullying, including physical, verbal, cyber, and emotional bullying. Bullies often target victims due to perceived differences in appearance, race, religion, nationality or other factors.
3. Bullying can seriously impact a person's mental health, self-esteem and academic performance. Both bullies and their victims are more likely to
This document summarizes a research study on factors affecting mathematics performance of high school students at Laguna State Polytechnic University in the 2009-2010 academic year. The study examines student-related factors like interest in mathematics, study habits, and teacher-related factors such as personality traits, teaching skills, and instructional materials. It provides background information on the importance of mathematics and reviews previous related studies. The research methodology, data collection instruments, and statistical analysis plan are also outlined.
This document summarizes a research study on bullying conducted with students at the University of Cebu Lapu-lapu and Mandaue. The study aims to understand the reasons for bullying, how it affects victims, and ways to reduce it. It provides background on bullying and reviews literature defining it as a barrier to student development. The methodology section describes the research design, environment, data collection plan, and references used. The study involved surveying 25 high school students to learn about their experiences with bullying and conclusions will be analyzed to further understand bullies and their victims.
The document discusses a study that examined the relationships between emotional intelligence, humor styles, and psychological well-being among junior and senior high school students in the Philippines. Some key findings from the study include:
- Emotional intelligence was positively correlated with adaptive humor styles (affiliative and self-enhancing) and negatively correlated with maladaptive humor styles (aggressive and self-defeating).
- Adaptive humor styles were positively correlated with dimensions of psychological well-being, while maladaptive styles were negatively correlated.
- Emotional intelligence significantly predicted dimensions of psychological well-being and was also found to predict students' humor styles, particularly their use of adaptive versus maladaptive styles.
The study provides support for
This document summarizes research on resilience in the context of child maltreatment. It defines resilience as adapting well despite adversity such as abuse or neglect. Studies show most maltreated children are resilient, though risks include injury, mental health issues, and relationship problems. Factors promoting resilience include self-compassion, social support, and preventing future violence exposure. The document reviews models of ecological contexts and levels of resilience. It also summarizes a longitudinal study finding self-compassion may reduce dating violence continuity following childhood maltreatment.
Neuroticism and stressful life events predict religious and spiritual strugglesNick Stauner
(2015, August). Symposium presented at the convention of the International Association for the Psychology of Religion, Istanbul, Turkey.
Abstract:
Recent research has demonstrated that religious and spiritual struggle (RSS) plays an important role in the relationship between religion and well-being. To what extent might RSS arise from personality and environmental stress? We hypothesized that neuroticism and stressful life events predict RSS independently and interact as well, such that neuroticism strengthens the link between stress and struggle. Regression analyses of factor scores from 2,719 undergraduates in USA revealed independent effects of neuroticism and stressful past experiences on six kinds of RSS, but no interactions emerged. Thus personality and experience may both affect RSS additively. Neuroticism better predicted most struggles, especially ultimate meaning struggles, but stress predicted demonic and interpersonal struggles slightly more. Mediation analyses also explored indirect effects. Some trait theorists claim that essential traits precede environmental factors causally, suggesting that neuroticism may lead to stress; conversely, stress could increase state neuroticism. Hence we considered both as possible mediators of each other’s effects. All indirect pathways achieved significance, but most had very weak effect sizes. Given weaker direct effects of stress in general, any indirect effects mediated by neuroticism would appear more substantial. Longitudinal work may help resolve this causal ambiguity.
Wekerle CIHR Team - Trauma Profiles and Correlates Among Maltreated Adolesce...Christine Wekerle
This study identified trauma profiles among maltreated adolescents in child welfare and examined correlates of profile membership. Latent profile analysis identified three profiles: minimal trauma symptoms (59%), moderate symptoms (30%), and high symptoms (11%). Younger age, greater sexual and emotional abuse, and more types of maltreatment were associated with higher symptom profiles. The majority of youth showed resilience, while profiles with more distress were linked to specific types of maltreatment. Profile membership could help match interventions to distinct service populations.
1) Sexual minority youth face greater mental health challenges than their heterosexual peers, including higher rates of depression, substance abuse, suicidality, and victimization.
2) A study of 26 sexual minority youth and 26 matched heterosexual youth found that the sexual minority youth had significantly higher levels of anxiety, depression, paranoia, somatization, general psychological distress, suicidality, and loneliness.
3) Different defense mechanisms correlated with symptoms for each group - for sexual minority youth, higher principalization correlated with lower interpersonal sensitivity, and higher turning anger inward correlated with higher interpersonal sensitivity and depression.
Introductory Psychology: Social PsychologyBrian Piper
Social psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by others. Two important figures in social psychology are Stanley Milgram, who studied obedience, and Phillip Zimbardo, who conducted the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment. Some key topics in social psychology include conformity, obedience, social thinking, social influence, social facilitation and cognitive dissonance. Social psychologists use rigorous scientific methods like experiments and studies to better understand human social behavior.

This document discusses the relationship between self-reported attitudes and actual behaviors towards people with intellectual disabilities. While self-report measures dominate research in this area, they are limited by social desirability bias and may not accurately reflect behaviors. The authors explore alternative ways of measuring attitudes, including implicit measures and tests of real-life behaviors. Their research found that people reported more positive explicit attitudes than their implicit attitudes suggested. They hypothesize that implicit attitudes may better predict subtle prejudiced behaviors, while explicit attitudes influence more deliberate behaviors. The authors plan to further study this relationship by conducting an experiment measuring voting behaviors, attitudes, and implicit biases in secondary schools.
Parental Levels of Emotion Regulation and Negative Affect as Predictors of Ch...Felicia Nicole Ghrist
This study examined the relationship between caregivers' difficulties with emotion regulation and trauma symptoms in youth who experienced newly discovered cases of sexual abuse. The study found that caregivers' negative affect was associated with higher levels of child-reported depression and PTSD symptoms. Caregivers' non-acceptance of negative emotion was linked to lower youth-reported anger but higher caregiver-reported internalizing, externalizing, and PTSD symptoms in youth. The results suggest that caregivers' tolerance of their own and their children's distress about the abuse may impact youth adjustment, and could be a focus of intervention.

Stressful life events and religiousness predict struggles about religion and ...Nick Stauner
Religious and spiritual struggles arise in various forms and circumstances. The newly developed Religious and Spiritual Struggles (RSS) scale reveals a coherent, multidimensional structure in these domain-specific problems that applies to religious and nonreligious people alike. Thus new questions emerge. Do religious people struggle less with religion, or more? Struggles and stress seem likely to coincide, but might stressful life events give rise to fewer religious struggles among religious people? We tested this moderation hypothesis in a large sample of American undergraduates, who completed the RSS and measures of stressful life events, religious belief salience, and religious participation. Latent interaction factors for religiousness and stressful life events failed to predict additional variance in most RSS factors in a structural equation model using polychoric correlations, yielding no support for the moderation hypothesis. However, religiousness and stressful life events independently predicted higher scores on most factors of the RSS in most samples.
The document summarizes the results of an internet survey assessing public knowledge of childhood hypothyroidism in the United States and India. The survey found that overall knowledge was low in both countries. It also found some gender differences in knowledge, with females showing more knowledge than males in India, while in the US females knew more about some symptoms but males knew more about others. The study concluded that more public health education is needed about the causes and symptoms of hypothyroidism globally.
This document summarizes the results of a study on behavioral and emotional autonomy in adolescence. The study surveyed 567 Spanish adolescents aged 12 to 18. It found that:
1) Behavioral autonomy increases with age, with late adolescents (16-18) feeling most autonomous. Gender differences were not significant. Autonomy was highest for behaviors like sports and lowest for return time.
2) Emotional autonomy mean scores indicated feelings of middle to high autonomy. Autonomy increased most for individuation behaviors and least for behaviors involving dependence on parents. Emotional autonomy also increased with adolescent age.
3) Both behavioral and emotional autonomy develop progressively through the stages of adolescence from early to late phases. Autonomy is
Help-seeking preferences and behaviours amongst young Australians: results fr...ReachOut Australia
Every year ReachOut Australia conducts a nationally-representative survey of 1000 young people’s mental health help-seeking preferences and behaviours to inform service delivery. This presentation details the methodology and findings of the 2014 study.

Authors: Atari Metcalf and Lorraine Ivancic.
This document discusses complex post-traumatic stress disorder (complex PTSD) which results from prolonged or repeated trauma over weeks, months or years. It describes the social conditions that can lead to prolonged trauma such as child abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking, slavery, torture and concentration camps. It outlines the typical symptom profile of complex PTSD including somatization, dissociation, affect dysregulation, re-enactments and revictimization. It also discusses how prolonged trauma can distort personality, relationships and perception of the perpetrator.

1) This study examined social cognition, specifically theory of mind (ToM), in 28 patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis compared to 32 healthy controls.
2) Results showed that the MS group performed worse on tasks measuring facial recognition of emotions and identifying beliefs/knowledge of others.
3) ToM deficits were not fully explained by processing speed, disease characteristics, or demographic factors.
This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of family structure during adolescence on psychological well-being in adulthood. The study hypothesized that adults who lived with both parents at age 16 would report better psychological well-being than those from non-traditional families. Results found support for this, with adults from two-parent homes reporting less days of poor mental health. Additional factors like age, number of siblings, gender and race were also analyzed for their correlations with psychological well-being. The study concluded that family structure during adolescence impacts adult mental health, supporting life course disruption and anomie theories. Implications for parents, professionals and adults from non-traditional families were discussed.
Centered around a theme of reenergizing and rejuvenating the work environment, this FREE web-based learning opportunity is open to the public and will be similar to a professional conference – no travel involved! Part 3 of the Virtual Learning Event Session will focus on professional development in the area of ‘Compassion Fatigue.’
Military caregivers are at high risk for the negative impact of compassion fatigue. The experience of trauma can extend beyond those who are directly impacted to those who provide care to traumatized individuals, including military service professionals. This phenomenon is referred to as compassion fatigue or secondary traumatic stress.
In this Virtual Learning Event session, attendees will gain an understanding of the concept of compassion fatigue, describe the symptoms of compassion fatigue, and discuss strategies to minimize the negative impact of compassion fatigue.
Making Sense of It Poster for MPA May 2016Nancy Trexler
1) The study investigated levels of complicated grief in parents who have lost a child by examining variables like social support, cause of death, time since loss, and ability to make sense of the loss. 2) 443 parents completed an online survey and results supported the hypotheses that higher grief levels were associated with being a mother, shorter time since loss, and having no surviving children. Higher sense-making ability and social support correlated with lower grief levels. 3) Mothers reported higher grief levels and parents with no surviving children reported higher grief than those with surviving children, supporting some risk factors hypothesized.

CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

1. Sensation Seeking and Emotional
Intelligence as Risk Factors for
School bullying among
Adolescents in Ghana

2. Bullying
The core descriptions of school bullying:
• Physical, verbal or psychological attack or
intimidation - intended to cause fear, pain or damage
• An imbalance of power (psychological or physical)
• Repeated incidents (Farrington, 1993; Olweus, 1993).
Four groups
• The bully (The perpetrator)
• The bullied (victim)
• The bully/victim
• Neutrals (Those who neither bullied or victimised
bully)
(Cohn & Canter, 2003)
3. Forms
Direct (physical and verbal) and Indirect (Mishna &
Alaggia, 2005).
• Physical: hitting, smacking, theft
•Verbal: name-calling, insults
•Social (relational): gossiping, rumour spreading
and convincing others to socially exclude the victim
(Underwood, 2003)
•Indirect - damaging the victim’s social status and
is often much less detectable
4. Gender issues
• Boys experience and tend to engage in higher
rates of direct bullying
• Girls are more often the targets of indirect
bullying (Craig & Pepler, 2003).
• In a recent study by Goldstein, Young and
Boyd (2008) gender was not reported as
significant predictor of either form of bullying
5. Risk factors and Psychological
outcomes
Risk factors
• The quality of parental attachment
• Sensation seeking
• Emotional Intelligence (EI)
• Self-esteem
Outcomes
• Depression
• Suicidal ideations
6. Aims and objectives
How the adolescent’s –
•attachment to their primary caregiver
•self esteem
•sensation seeking behaviour
•emotional intelligence
predict the likelihood of the individual engaging in
bullying behaviour.
•To investigate the association between bullying
behaviour, depression and suicidal ideation among
adolescents aged 12-19.
7. Hypothesis
H1: Sensation seeking would account for a significant variance in
bullying behaviour after controlling for age, gender and
parental attachment and self esteem.
H2: Emotional intelligence would account for a significant
variance in bullying behaviour after controlling for age,
gender, parental attachment and self esteem.
H3: Sensation seeking would account for a significant variance in
victimisation behaviour after controlling for age, gender,
parental attachment and self esteem.
8. H4: Emotional intelligence will account for a significant variance
in victimisation behaviour after controlling for age, gender and
parental attachment and self esteem.
H5: Bullying and Victimisation behaviour would account for a
significant variance in depression among adolescents after
controlling for age, gender, parental attachment, self esteem,
sensation seeking and emotional intelligence.
H6: Bullying and Victimisation behaviour would account for a
significant variance in suicide ideations among adolescents
after controlling for age, gender, parental attachment, self
esteem, sensation seeking and emotional intelligence.
10. METHODOLOGY
• Population
Male and female adolescent students between the ages of 12
and 19 years in Junior and Senior High schools with the
Accra Metropolis.
Sample
Three hundred and fifty five (355) students
(180 males and 175 females)
255 from Senior High School
100 from Junior High School
• Sampling technique
The study used two non-probability sampling techniques -
Convenience and the Purposive sampling techniques
Probability sampling technique which is the stratified random
sampling technique.
23. Summary of findings
Hypotheses one, two and three were supported
• Sensation seeking accounted for a significant variance in bullying
behaviour after controlling for age, gender, parental attachment and self
esteem
• Emotional intelligence accounted for a significant variance in bullying
behaviour after controlling for age, gender, parental attachment and self
esteem
• Sensation seeking accounted for a significant variance in victimization
behaviour after controlling for age, gender, parental attachment and self
esteem.
Hypothesis four, five, and six were not supported
• Emotional intelligence did not account for a significant variance in
victimization behaviour after controlling for age, gender, parental
attachment and self esteem.
• Bullying and victimisation behaviour did not account for a significant
variance in depression among adolescents after controlling for age, gender,
parental attachment, self esteem, sensation seeking and emotional
intelligence.
• Bullying and victimisation behaviour did not account for a significant
variance in suicide ideation among adolescents after controlling for age,
gender, parental attachment, self esteem, sensation seeking and emotional
intelligence.
24. Model based on current findings
Parental attachment
Sensation seeking
Emotional intelligence
Self esteem
Perpetration
Suicidal ideations
Depression
Victimisation
25. Implications
Educational stakeholders and adolescents encouraged to show interest
in activities designed at regulating sensation seeking.
• Relaxation techniques, use of self talk, sports lessons (hiking,
paragliding) .
Necessity for teachers, policy-makers and mental health professionals
to emphasize the promotion of emotional education.
EI - has relevance for success in many areas of life, not only antisocial
behaviours in educational settings (Goleman, 1995). Its
development may also assist to better equip students to be successful
in other aspects of life.
Parents and caregivers should continually reinforce appropriate and
desirable behaviours with unconditional positive regard as depicted
by Carl Rogers. This informs healthy self-esteem development.
Students should also be taught self-efficacy techniques so as to help
them have the confidence to solve and deal with problems when
they occur – depressive episodes
The need to have and hire school psychologist
26. Conclusion
• The current findings reinforce the need to
broaden our investigations of bullying and
victimization in Ghana.
• The results lend support to further
investigating these phenomena in an attempt to
add to our cultural understanding, prediction,
and control of bullying and victimization
behaviour.
