Full Text: Workplace violence appears to be on the rise, as indicated by the increasing reports in the media. In some cases, the events involve workers who have been reprimanded for their job performance, denied promotion, or been let go. Other instances arise from conflicts among co-workers. A prominent example is the OC Transpo Case in Ottawa where a worker was teased for stuttering and returned to the work site with a gun and killed four co-workers. There have also been situations where problems outside the workplace, such as a divorce or other forms of domestic or financial stress, result in violent acts at work. Perhaps the most disturbing incidents have been the high-profile shootings by disturbed students of teachers, staff, and other students at schools such as Columbine, Colorado. Generally, workplace threats fall into two specific categories - those where the intent is to intimidate and those where the intent is to actually carry out the violence. Bullies usually enact the first type. These are people that have had a great deal of success as children, and later as adults, in getting their way through threatening behaviour. They will usually back down when confronted. The second type is more dangerous because the perpetrator often does not make specific threats before taking action (although in most cases there are red flags that indicate the person is potentially violent). Definition of Workplace Violence * Behaviour that would be interpreted by a reasonable person as carrying potential for violence at the work site or against a worker *A substantial threat to harm a worker or endanger the safety or well-being of another employee *A substantial threat to destroy company property * Any act of physical assault * Abnormal behaviour that may cause emotional or physical distress to another worker Although the incidence of violent…

According to Erickson’s Psychosocial Stages of Development, Hank is in the Ego Integrity vs Despair stage of late adulthood. In this phase of life an, “Adult comes to terms with life’s successes, failures, and missed opportunities and realizes the dignity of own life” (Broderick & Blewitt 2015 p. 12). The positive outcome of late adulthood is wisdom and the negative outcome is regret. Like most people in late adulthood, Hank reflects on his life. He loves to tell stories about his life to anyone who will listen. This reflection includes being proud of his accomplishments and living without regrets. Bringing the union into the city and raising his children, are two accomplishments that bring him the most satisfaction. Another is that he raised…

Although I enjoy every aspect of psychology, my interest in psychology first ignited through reading and learning more about brain disorders, deviancies in the brain structure, and how these different conditions can impact human behaviors. Therefore, my long-term research interests revolve around these subjects. However, I understand that studying brain disorders on an undergraduate level is a realistic scenario. Thence, my possible research interests for the Psychology Honors Program are studying the role of impulsivity in psychological disorders and/or addictive behaviors.…
Stress tends to affect the brain in many ways, however, it is due to trauma at different stages in life that will presumably have different effects on the brain, for instance, it can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. When my father was a child he saw an uncle of his killed by a Doberman Pincher, this caused him to become a victim of PTSD. The PTSD transformed the manner in which he reacts to Dobermans and all other types of dogs he comes in contact. As a child, my siblings and I were never allowed to have any sort of pet. It was as if it were a sin to come into contact with an animal. However, now that Abraham, who is the oldest of the boys in the family, married an animal fanatic they own; a horse, three miniature ponies, two dogs which…

I was born in the late 60’s to the parents of first generation Americans. My grandparents migrated to America through Canada from Scotland in the early 1930’s. Eventually, both sides of the family landed in the Black Hills of South Dakota. My father’s side of the family worked at Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, South Dakota and my mother’s side of the family ran a trailer park in Hill City while my Grandfather worked at Mount Rushmore. After my parents married, my father followed his father by working at Homestake, while my mother was a stay at home mom. We lived on a hillside over the fairgrounds in Deadwood on Railroad Avenue. My father’s parents lived next door to us. Due to the fear of landslides, the city of Deadwood forced my grandparents and us to move off the hillside. As of 2008, the houses were still on the hillside, granted they slid downhill slightly. It is amazing how tiny the houses are, I would say no more than 400 to 500 square feet, and there were 5 of us who lived in the house. When I was about four years of age, we left the Black Hills and moved to a small mining town in Colorado called Creede. It is here I remember being left handed and having to learn to do things differently. I guess I go against the grain with handedness, according to our studies it suggests it is linked by a genetic basis. (Linke & Kersebaum, 2005) No one else in the family has been left handed, and even today I am still the only one. I still do things different from left or right handed people because I had to learn my own way. I started school while living here; we had a one room school house, and I remember we would follow the creek line down to school and back up the creek line to get home. I remember having a skunk get in the garage, our house was a bi-level with the laundry room…
