The Relative Strength Of Managerial Abuse, Emotion Regulation, And Displaced Aggression On Life Satisfaction, Mikhail Lyublinsky
The Relative Strength Of Managerial Abuse, Emotion Regulation, And Displaced Aggression On Life Satisfaction, Mikhail Lyublinsky
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The potential for negative experiences in the workplace, such as managerial abuse (i.e., the inappropriate and harmful behavior of managers towards subordinates, including verbal aggression and unfair treatment), presents significant obstacles to employee satisfaction and overall well-being. Although ample evidence has supported the detrimental impact of managerial abuse on employees' life satisfaction, the influence of other factors such as the ability to regulate one’s emotional reactions and/or vent one’s anger by displacing it on someone without the power to retaliate may further impact one’s satisfaction with life. Informed by the theory of displaced aggression, the purpose of this quantitative, nonexperimental, …

Spontaneous Self-Affirmation And Social Context As Moderators Between Stereotype Threat And Online Academic Performance, Katrina Hilton
Spontaneous Self-Affirmation And Social Context As Moderators Between Stereotype Threat And Online Academic Performance, Katrina Hilton
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Despite years of progress, there remains an academic achievement gap among minority and non-minority students in all levels of education. A possible reason for the persistent achievement gap is stereotype threat, which is a situational predicament that prompts individuals to perform in ways that mirror the stereotypes associated with their social groups. Self-affirmation interventions are often used to disrupt the effects of stereotype threat, as students are taught how to focus on their strengths and values to help improve their self-concepts. However, spontaneous self-affirmation techniques may be more impactful because students are able to automatically self-affirm in any psychologically threatening …
