UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Maltreated children are at greater risk of developing PTSD than nonmaltreated children (Ackerman et al., 1998; Epstein et al., 1997; Famularo et al., 1996; Kilpatrick et al., 2003; Widom, 1999).

The Role Of Discrete Emotions In Predicting Counterproductive Work Behavior, Jeremy Allen Bauer
The Role Of Discrete Emotions In Predicting Counterproductive Work Behavior, Jeremy Allen Bauer
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The current study investigates how discrete negative emotions are related to specific facets of counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). The sample consisted of 241 employees who reported their frequency of experiencing negative emotions and their frequency of committing CWBs in the workplace. For 103 employees, supervisor reports of employee CWB were also obtained. The findings provide evidence that a wide range of negative emotions are related to most of the sub facets of CWB. There was also some evidence that supervisor reports differ systematically from employee reports of CWB. The theoretical, methodological, and organizational implications are discussed.
