Distress and retaliatory aggression in response to witnessing intergroup excl...Maciej Behnke
The negative consequences of personal exclusion have been demonstrated by multiple
studies. Less is known about the consequences of witnessing one's own group
being excluded by other groups, although studies suggest exclusion can be experienced
vicariously and negatively affects members of the excluded group. Results of
the present lab-based
experiment (N = 153) indicate, in line with our predictions,
that witnessing intergroup exclusion (a national majority excluded by a minority,
manipulated by an adapted intergroup Cyberball paradigm) produced a sense of personal
exclusion. It also increased self-reported
distress and behavioral aggression
measured in the Taylor Aggression Paradigm), especially among participants high
on collective narcissism: a belief that the exaggerated greatness of the in-group
is
not sufficiently appreciated by others. Contrary to expectations, a short mindful decentration
intervention (instructing participants to observe thoughts and emotions as
transient mental products without engaging with them) delivered while participants
were witnessing intergroup exclusion (vs. inclusion) produced changes in heart rate
variability reactivity indicative of emotional arousal, especially among collective
narcissists. We concluded that collective narcissism is associated with distress in
the face of intergroup exclusion, aggressive retaliation, and in consequence, it is
a risk-factor
predisposing group members to stress-related
health and psychosocial
problems. Furthermore, a mindful decentration, despite being an effective strategy
to reduce maladaptive stress in most people, may be counterproductive in addressing
high collective narcissists' responses to threat to the in-group's
image.

Trauma And Post Traumatic Stress For 2009 National ConferenceMedicalWhistleblower
Persons who have experienced life altering trauma often have significant emotional and psychological effects called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This requires compassionate response from those closest to the survivor and from social service personnel and law enforcement officers.
Resilience and emotional intelligence are internal sources of personal power that research shows reduces the negative effects of stress on mind and body - and fuels the creative energy we need to solve problems during tough times. This power point was developed for workshops offered to people suffering long-term losses after Hurricane Sandy in New York and New Jersey.
Relationships are dynamic, alive and responsive to the choices, attitudes and behaviors we bring to them. Research shows that we really are living in organic networks in which we are constantly impacting others and the social environment as the social world impacts us. The competencies associated with Emotional Intelligence directly and powerfully transform interactions and ongoing relationships with others. These skills can be learned and every day is a new opportunity to practice them.
A large no of people volunteer their time to help other people each year as seen in Ram Krishna Mission.
What is it that moves a person to give up their time, money, and even safety to relieve another person's suffering?
Compassion is the key.
Human suffering is inevitable, but our ability to understand and sympathize with the plight and circumstances of other people can play a major role in whether we take action to relieve this suffering.
Compassion is also a highly valued quality.
Religions stress the importance of compassion, while people often list characteristics such as "kind" and "compassionate" as what they look for in a potential partner.

CONDITIONING THEORIES 1
CONDITIONING THEORIES 6
Beehavioral Change
Humans are unique and complex beings who have to keep up with a number of things to survive and coexist with others within a given environment. However, it is worth noting that people are usually different and not all behaviors portrayed by different individuals appeal to the society. Chunn (2002) argues that the best factor about human behaviors is that they can be changed and transformed to what the society considers as right. (Youngberg, 2004). The best way to achieve behavioral structuring and modeling is through defining the right paths of action to be followed in order to adopt the acceptable code of ethics. The best path could be self-driven or environmentally dictated. Behavioral change is a topic that has attracted a lot of attention from researchers and resulted into numerous publications with different ideas about the matter. There are countless theories about how one can achieve behavioral change. The purpose of this paper is to explore behavioral change and assess their effect and influence on my personal attributes. Comment by DrG: Period is after citation Comment by DrG: No first person Comment by DrG: Yes!!!
Behavioral changes involve either starting something that never existed before or dumping the old doings that have always been part and parcel of one’s life. There are two theories of behavioral change that are more established; classical and operant conditioning. Hughes (1997) states that there are over seven billion people in the world, each person is unique in a way, and the key to transformation or significant changes is by experimenting ethically accepted traits and adopting the ones that best suit an individual. Hughes (1997) argues that one feature may work pretty well for one individual but turn out to be a total disaster for the next person There is no particular method in human life that works well for everyone, and the fact that a particular strategy does not work for you should be a reason to try something else and not consider oneself a failure. Diversity is the reason the world is accommodative to all people. Comment by DrG: See previous comments - you did not explain operant conditioning
Classical conditioning entails developing or conditioning a particular reflexive behavior by associating a neutral stimulus or agent with a naturally occurring one. With time and frequency of occurrences, the neutral stimulus, on its own, will be able to trigger a reflex. Ivan Pavlov’s carried out an experiment to validate the authenticity of classical conditioning Egger, Pfaffermayr & Schmidt (2007). A demonstration by the Nobel Prize winner involved dogs, a bell, and food. Pavlov used to ring a bell (neutral stimulus) whenever food was ready. The dogs would salivate when they saw the food (reflex/ naturally occurring stimulus). With time, this became a habit. Whenever the food was ready the bell would ring and the dogs would salivate because it had become.
Service encounters, emotional labor, and mindfulnessIan McCarthy
From the seclusion of monastic life to the noise of Silicon Valley, the ancient practice of mindfulness has ‘come out of the cloister.’ As an antidote to mindless cognition and behavior, the practice of mindfulness - with its principle o grounding attention in the present moment - has been shown to have powerful and positive effects at both the individual and the collective level and in fields as wideranging as medicine, schooling, prison programs, law and negotiation, business, and even the army. This installment of Marketing & Technology introduces mindfulness to managers and explores its potential for enhancing the service encounter. We begin by reviewing the two main conceptualizations of mindfulness: the cognitive and the contemplative. We then explore the service encounter from the perspective of emotional labor and show how mindfulness can change surface acting into deep acting, thereby significantly improving the service encounter for both the consumer and provider. We also explore the other benefits of mindfulness and their application to the service encounter: adaptability, flexibility, and creativity. We conclude by sharing resources for managers interested in implementing mindfulness training.

2. Bold Statement
The fundamental neuroses of our time involve
FRAGMENTATION
◦ In our relationships with ourselves, others
and the environment
◦ Works against change by creating certainty
and fear
Compassion is the antidote

3. TwoWolves
A First Nations grandfather
was talking to his grandson
about how he felt. He said 'I
feel as if I have two wolves
fighting in my heart. One wolf
is the frightened and reactive
one.The other wolf is the
loving, compassionate one.' The
grandson asked him, 'Which
wolf will win the fight in your
heart?' The grandfather
answered: 'The one I feed.'

8. Two forms of Knowledge
Historically two equal forms of understanding
were developed, classically known as Mythos and
Logos.
Logos helps us gain knowledge regarding how to
live effectively in the material world. Logos is
essential to human survival but it cannot assuage
our grief or find ultimate meaning in life’s
struggles.
Mythos helps us create meaning and transcend
the mundane in order to inhabit our humanity
more fully
www.drharry.ca
9. Separation
Ideas of separation are sustained within the
orthodox view of science: The world is a
collection of distinct and separate elements that
are related to each other by systems that are
ruled by mechanical laws (Weil, 1994).
Premises: Objectification, Prediction (cause-
effect), Control
Premises of this model support the use of
violence and inhibit change to nonviolence
(Stefanakis, 2008)
www.drharry.ca
10. The Limits of Logos
Some things are non-rational (Logos ignores the
contradictory complexity of life where our humanity is
situated)
Focuses more on stability (prediction; control) and
therefore not as well on transformation (especially
nonlinear change)
Can become simply symptom/behaviour/problem
management
Can replicate the problem
Often it doesn’t matter how true something is if we
don’t believe it – meaning trumps logic
www.drharry.ca
11. www.drharry.ca
Connect all 9 dots with 4
straight lines but you cannot

(no lifting of pen)
13. Compassion is the Antidote
Compassion is made visible scientifically within a
perspective which highlights the non-fragmentary nature
of the universe in which energy manifests in the form of
matter, life and information that is linked or inter-
connected (Weil, 1994)
The Universe is one indivisible dynamic whole even as it
includes individual elements (2 truths: there is a material
world in which we can and need to differentiate individual
elements and also at a deeper level of experience all these
elements are inter-connected and inseparable)
www.drharry.ca
14. We are hard-wired to connect
(Porges, 2007)
Three phylogenetic responses to
threat/survival/growth
1. Social Engagement (relationship
seeking)
2. Mobilization (fight/flight)
3. Immobilization (freeze)
www.drharry.ca
15. Compassion
Compassion is the truth that is truer than the
truth of our individual selves; it is the
realization that you and the other are one ~
Schopenhauer
What is compassion?
◦ Images
◦ Actions
Are there limitations to this conception?
When a surgeon cuts open a person to
remove a tumor is that compassion?
www.drharry.ca
16. Intelligent Compassion
Connection (to life; to the other)
Desire (to relieve suffering; promote
well-being; to create life affirming
meaning)
Through skillful means (that unfold in
the context when being in the right
state)
www.drharry.ca
17. 1. Compassion is an emotional competency &
a target of intervention
Compassion has neurological correlates that increase in activity with
practice. It is a flexible skill that can be trained and it appears to
enhance emotional sharing and perspective taking (Davidson, 2003,
2008, 2011)
Compassion regulates physiology and increases cognitive capacity for
problem solving and openness to adaptation
◦ Broaden and Build Theory (Fredickson, 2003, 2009)
◦ Reduces glucocortoid reactivity (Dallman, 2006) and releases
oxytocin and endorphins that tones down (threat system) amygdala
(Gilbert , 2010)
Teaching Compassion is essential to anti-violence work: As men begin
to identify with other’s feelings, needs and concerns (empathy) and
they begin to care about the other person’s feelings, needs and
concerns such that they wish attend to these needs (compassion),
control and power as choices of interaction become less visible.
www.drharry.ca
18. 2. Approaches based on compassion build
connections
Keeps men in treatment and therefore reduce risk and recidivism
The rate of attrition in DV groups has been in the order of 50%
even though we should expect it to be about 20% (Gondolf)
Drop-outs tend to be younger, single, unemployed and
generally a higher risk for re-offending. (Disconnected)
Program completion is associated with reduced recidivism.
Need to keep them in treatment.
Facilitator’s skill in engaging the client reduces attrition and
manages risk. (Echhardt et al, 2013; MacMurran & Ward,
2004; Stefanakis, 2000; Stefanakis & Trimble, 2001).
Research on Interpersonal Neurobiology: The safer people
feel the more open to change they become; Connection
activates more advances neural circuitry that supports pro-
social behaviour (Porges, 2009)
www.drharry.ca
19. Teams/Groups that are most effective
can be identified by being “other
focused” vs self focused…showed
greater attunement to one another and
consequently were more responsive,
flexible, adaptive and dealt with
complexity more effectively.
www.drharry.ca
20. We need to model what we teach
Physiological data has shown that an aggressive persons
physiological activation diminishes in the context of a person
demonstrating compassion and loving-kindness (Ekman, 2003)
Research suggests that the heart rate variability in one person can
have an impact on another person (McCraty, 2002)
Mirror neurons: neural networks for perception and action share
a common code - our initial perceptions prepare us for action
(Goleman, 2006)
◦ Emotion stirs a related urge to act; observed emotions,
whether of contempt or compassion, activated the neural
circuitry in the pre-motor cortex to respond as if we were
experiencing the emotion
www.drharry.ca
21. 3. Intelligent Compassion also indicates that we
need to be clear about accountability
Compassionate approaches attend to responsibility not
blame (Gilbert, 2010)
Compassion allows one to take responsibility for ones
actions without being overwhelmed by negative emotions
(Leary et al 2007)
Skillful action is based on intelligent compassion; a
compassion that has both warmth and clarity (sees things as
they are) and desire to effect life affirming change
When a man is engaged in tactics of control he is suffering
even as he creates suffering; compassion moves us to hold
him accountable as it is the only way to end suffering
www.drharry.ca
22. 4. Compassion makes change (and obstacles to
change) visible and invites people into change
process
Instead of getting caught up in blame/rhetoric of
resistance or pathologizing labels we focus on asking
questions regarding obstacles to change and how we
can intervene to facilitate further change
Shifts brain from narrow focus on details to
see objects (people) as wholes
New research highlights the positive impact of short-
term compassion training on prosocial behavior
(Lieberg,Klimecki, Singer, 2011)
www.drharry.ca
23. The Logos of Compassion
1. Compassion is an emotional competency
2. Compassion facilitates engagement
3. Compassion makes accountability and
responsibility clear
4. Compassion focuses on facilitating change
and overcoming barriers
www.drharry.ca
25. Conclusion - For Facilitating Change
Knowledge Brokers Need to Know:
Context:There are 2 equally important
dimensions to life - Unity & Separation
1. Fragmentation experiences are common
and work against change by creating
closed states
2. They arise out of the privileging of the
framework of separation (2nd dimension of
life)
3. Change requires cultivating contexts and
experiences that open space for possibility
www.drharry.ca
26. 4. Intelligent compassion processes facilitate
change by reconnecting us to the first
dimension of life (Unity) without
disconnecting from the second
5. Intelligent compassion processes involve:
Opening via compassion based practices and
interaction
Building alliances and engagement that facilitate
transformational experiences – reconnect to
problem from whole (vs parts) perspective
Action for change through skillful means (doing
the right thing, at the right time, in the right place,
by being in the right state)
