    Study Notes

    Understanding Aggression and Violence: A Comprehensive Overview

    • Development of aggression over the lifespan: peaks in toddler years and declines with age, replaced with forms that have fewer consequences
    • Some people are more habitually aggressive, and this trait is constant
    • Evolutionary psychology views aggression as hardwired and instinctual, linked to reproductive success and survival of the fittest
    • Aggressive individuals are at increased risk of poor health, early mortality, mental health problems, and decreased life satisfaction
    • Aggression is often learned through classical conditioning, instrumental learning, and social learning
    • Neurological and biological approaches highlight genes linked to aggressive behavior, neurotransmitter levels, and brain structures associated with aggression
    • Bullying in the workplace, indirect aggression, dominance, and status are key aspects of organizational psychology
    • The role of perception in aggression, including cues for the fight or flight mechanism and the impact of what we see, hear, and feel
    • Personality approaches to aggression, including trait aggression, trait anger, trait irritability, and the role of shame proneness and rumination
    • Relational psychology encompasses domestic violence, child abuse, power and dominance, jealousy, and schemas
    • Aggression is elicited by the situation rather than the personality, as suggested by cognitive dissonance theory and social cognition
    • The General Aggression Model (GAM) by Craig Anderson and Brad Bushman explains the nature of aggression, person inputs, situational factors, routes, and outcomes. It emphasizes cognition, affects, arousal, immediate appraisal, and re-appraisal. Additionally, it highlights media psychology, including the effects of aggression in the media, statistics on exposure to aggression in the media, and the Gruel statement on the causal relationship between media aggression and later aggressive behavior.

    Impact of Inappropriate Content on Young People and Continuing Professional Development for Psychologists

    • Inappropriate content (IP) can influence sexual development and perpetrate aggressive behavior
    • Theoretical underpinnings include priming theory, social learning theory, gender schema theory, and sexual script theory
    • Critics argue that pre-existing aggression levels may draw individuals to violent media
    • Despite falling social violence, violent media use is increasing, presenting a potential concern
    • Accessibility to technology and IP exposes teens to violent material and inappropriate content
    • Prevalence of child sexual abuse by other children has increased in recent years
    • Exposure to IP is associated with perpetration of aggression and violence against women
    • Early and frequent exposure to pornography is linked to initiation of sexual behaviors at a younger age
    • Schools lack universally taught IP education programs, with secondary schools being the primary focus
    • Psychologists are required to engage in ongoing professional development (CPD) and self-care
    • CPD involves activities such as workshops, seminars, reading and analyzing professional literature, and peer consultation
    • Self-care is crucial for psychologists to maintain motivation, energy, resilience, and effective problem-solving ability, while preventing burnout symptoms such as dissatisfaction and withdrawal

    NSW Mental Health Act and Formal Admission Process

    • The NSW Mental Health Act outlines the terms under which a person must accept medication, therapy, rehab, or other services, and is valid for 12 months.
    • Criteria for being considered mentally ill include having a mental illness and being at serious risk of harm to self or others, with no less restrictive care available.
    • Formal admission pathways include scheduling by a medical practitioner, police or ambulance, admission at the request of a designated carer, relative or friend, and order of the court.
    • The Mental Health Act also addresses confidentiality, stating that information about the patient is not given to people outside the service agency without the patient’s permission.
    • The process of formal admission for mentally disordered and mentally ill persons involves examinations, mental health inquiries by a tribunal, and regular examinations by an authorized person.
    • The Mental Health Tribunal is involved in the formal admission process and has specific requirements, including legal representation for the consumer, medication at the minimum practical level, and being in street clothes.
    • Mandatory reporting in New South Wales includes reporting to the NSW child protection helpline if a child aged 0-15 is at risk of significant harm, and practitioners notifying the AHPRA if they believe another practitioner has behaved in a way that presents a serious risk to the public.
    • Notifiable conduct for health practitioners includes practicing while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs, engaging in sexual misconduct in connection with the practice or profession, and placing the public at risk of substantial harm due to practitioner impairment or a significant departure from accepted professional standards.
    • The Privacy Act 1988 outlines 13 Privacy Principles, including open and transparent management of personal information and the collection of solicited and unsolicited personal information.
    • Week 11 Internet Pornography and Violence Stats reveal that technology has made it cheaper and easier to manufacture and distribute explicit material, leading to easy access to a multitude of free images.
    • The Covid pandemic saw an increase in Pornhub use, positively correlated with new COVID-19 cases, attributed to an increase in social isolation, stress, and loneliness.
    • The text discusses the link between pornography use and coping, emotional avoidance, boredom, and a pornified culture of violence, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing these issues.
