A Solution for Elder Bullying
WIEGAND.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 1/27/2020 11:06 AM “LIKE MEAN GIRLS, BUT EVERYONE IS EIGHTY”: A SOLUTION FOR ELDER BULLYING Brittany Wiegand* Bullying has long been an adolescent issue. With the elderly population ever-growing, however, so too does the incidence of elder bullying. Bullying behaviors often occur in small group settings with members who interact regularly, such as in schools. Senior living communities also fit this description. Bullies in senior communities may engage in verbal and even physical abuse; in the worst cases, bullying can be fatal. Instances of bullying among older adults are likely to increase in frequency as this population grows. This Note evaluates current federal and state laws that bullying victims might use to seek redress. It argues that current state laws should be amended to include seniors by aligning laws with research-based definitions of bullying. This Note also recommends providing a private right of action and implementing research-based programming in communal living centers. I. Introduction Flipped tables and false accusations: two unlikely scenes from a nursing home. Though one might expect something like this to occur at a middle school, each is only a minor component of one woman’s ex‐ perience in an elderly living community where she faced a torrent of physical and verbal abuse from other residents due to her sexual orien‐ tation.1 Brittany Wiegand is the Editor‐in‐Chief 2019–2020, Member 2018–2019, The Elder Law Journal; J.D. 2020, University of Illinois, Urbana‐Champaign; M.A. 2011, Curriculum & Instruction, Louisiana State University; B.A. -
Self-Presentation Tactics in Social Media Han-Yun HUANG
2014 International Conference on Social Science (ICSS 2014) Self-presentation Tactics in Social Media Han-Yun HUANG School of Journalism and Communication, Xiamen University, Fujian, China. Keywords: Self-presentation, Social Media, Adolescents Abstract. Social media now are very popular. Many people use them everywhere through mobile phones. One of the most important motives people using social media is for self-presentation. This study focuses on discussing the self-presentation tactics adolescents use in social media. The results show that adolescents mainly use four self-presentation tactics in social media, namely, self-promotion, ingratiation, manipulation and damage control. These four self-presentation tactics will be discussed in details. Introduction Social media are applications that enable people to interact with each other and build social networks that increase social capital (Barnes, 2008). Kaplan and Haenlein (2010) defined social media more theoretically as “a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, which allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content” (p. 64). Spannerworks (2007) gave a similar working definition of social media as new kinds of online media that share most or all of the characteristics of participation, openness, conversation, community and connectedness. Comm (2010) suggested that the “social” part of social media means that “publishing is now about participation” (Comm, 2010, p. 3). Those who use social media sufficiently create not only content, but also conversations, and those conversations combine further to create communities (Comm, 2010). Results from focus groups among adolescents in urban China indicated that IM, SNS, blogs, and microblogs were their four most widely used social media. -
Management Assistance Program
Management Resources Management Assistance Program SETTING BOUNDARIES AT WORK: Helping others to understand your boundaries while respecting and protecting theirs GOALS: The goal of this module is to provide organizations, managers and employees with the tools necessary to set and abide by boundaries in the workplace to create a healthy and productive work environment. The specific goals are to help organizations, managers, and employees: • Understand the importance of boundary setting • Learn how to set and maintain boundaries OVERVIEW: According to educators at the University of California, San Francisco, “When we talk about needing space, setting limits, determining acceptable behavior, or creating a sense of autonomy, we are really talking about boundaries. It is a general misconception that having good boundaries will distance you from others. However, the truth is that when you know where you end and others begin, you can closely engage with others because you will not feel overwhelmed or unprotected.”1 Boundaries are important in the workplace because they define the limits and responsibilities of the people with whom you interact in the workplace. When workplace boundaries are clearly defined, the organization works more efficiently. Setting proper boundaries can result in a sense of accountability for all staff members. Job responsibilities can be more precisely assigned, and job performance can be more accurately measured. Boundaries are the invisible lines that are drawn to help define roles and interactions in relationships. When these lines are crossed, negative consequences may result. Having weak boundaries or no boundaries at all is as debilitating as violating boundaries. 1 “Setting Healthy Workplace Boundaries.” University of California, San Francisco. -

Measuring and Addressing Elderly Bullying in a Senior Residential Community Heather Jeffries University of Kentucky Karen Slovak Malone University Sylvester Huston Social Work Student Elderly bullying lags far behind in research endeavors compared to related topics of youth bullying and elder abuse. This particular study is unique in its examination of bullying among elderly residents from independent and assisted living communities. This action-oriented study collected surveys from 98 residents of a Midwest senior residential community to determine levels, location, and responses to bullying by residents as well as to inform administration of appropriate responses. Results indicated that approximately one in four residents responded that they had seen or heard another resident being bullied at some point. Residents also reported their experiences with social, physical, verbal, and electronic bullying within the past six months. -

Tactics of Impression Management: Relative Success on Workplace Relationship Dr Rajeshwari Gwal1 ABSTRACT
The International Journal of Indian Psychology ISSN 2348-5396 (e) | ISSN: 2349-3429 (p) Volume 2, Issue 2, Paper ID: B00362V2I22015 http://www.ijip.in | January to March 2015 Tactics of Impression Management: Relative Success on Workplace Relationship Dr Rajeshwari Gwal1 ABSTRACT: Impression Management, the process by which people control the impressions others form of them, plays an important role in inter-personal behavior. All kinds of organizations consist of individuals with variety of personal characteristics; therefore those are important to manage them effectively. Identifying the behavior manner of each of these personal characteristics, interactions among them and interpersonal relations are on the basis of the impressions given and taken. Understanding one of the important determinants of individual’s social relations helps to get a broader insight of human beings. Employees try to sculpture their relationships in organizational settings as well. Impression management turns out to be a continuous activity among newcomers, used in order to be accepted by the organization, and among those who have matured with the organization, used in order to be influential (Demir, 2002). Keywords: Impression Management, Self Promotion, Ingratiation, Exemplification, Intimidation, Supplication INTRODUCTION: When two individuals or parties meet, both form a judgment about each other. Impression Management theorists believe that it is a primary human motive; both inside and outside the organization (Provis,2010) to avoid being evaluated negatively (Jain,2012). Goffman (1959) initially started with the study of impression management by introducing a framework describing the way one presents them and how others might perceive that presentation (Cole, Rozelle, 2011). The first party consciously chooses a behavior to present to the second party in anticipation of a desired effect. -

CYBERBULLIES ON CAMPUS Darby Dickerson * I. INTRODUCTION A new challenge facing educators is how to deal with the high-tech incivility that has crept onto our campuses. Technology has changed the way students approach learning, and has spawned new forms of rudeness. Students play computer games, check e-mail, watch DVDs, and participate in chat rooms during class. They answer ringing cell phones and dare to carry on conversations mid-lesson. Dealing with these types of incivilities is difficult enough, but another, more sinister e-culprit-the cyberbully-has also arrived on law school campuses. Cyberbullies exploit technology to control and intimidate others on campus.' They use web sites, blogs, and IMs2 to malign professors and classmates.3 They craft e-mails that are offensive, boorish, and cruel. They blast professors and administrators for grades given and policies passed; and, more often than not, they mix in hateful attacks on our character, motivations, physical attributes, and intellectual abilities.4 They disrupt classes, cause tension on campus, and interfere with our educational mission. -

The Views of the U.S. Left and Right on Whistleblowers Whistleblowers on Right and U.S
The Views of the U.S. Left and Right on Whistleblowers Concerning Government Secrets By Casey McKenzie Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Erin Kristin Jenne Word Count: 12,868 CEU eTD Collection Budapest Hungary 2014 Abstract The debates on whistleblowers in the United States produce no simple answers and to make thing more confusing there is no simple political left and right wings. The political wings can be further divided into far-left, moderate-left, moderate-right, far-right. To understand the reactions of these political factions, the correct political spectrum must be applied. By using qualitative content analysis of far-left, moderate-left, moderate-right, far-right news sites I demonstrate the debate over whistleblowers belongs along a establishment vs. anti- establishment spectrum.

Cults of Personality, Preference Falsification, and the Dictator's
Cults of personality, preference falsification, and the dictator's dilemma Charles Crabtreex, Holger L. Kerny, and David A. Siegelz Abstract: We provide a novel rational explanation for why cults of personality exist: they solve the dictator's adverse selection problem in assigning subordinates to roles within the regime. Participation in a cult of personality is psychologically costly whenever it involves preference falsification, with the costs varying across individuals. Importantly, low psychological costs of preference falsification are correlated with traits the dictator values, such as unscrupulousness and ruthlessness, which we collectively term disposition-based competence. Under a wide variety of circumstances, this correlation makes participation in cults of personality informative from the dictator's point of view, allowing him to hire loyal and competent subordinates for the most important regime positions. In contrast to earlier formal work, our model implies that dictators can use cults of personality to avoid the loyalty-competence trade-off when promoting subordinates. We thank Quintin Beazer, Jens Grosser, Timur Kuran, Andrew Little, Eddy Malesky, Melanie Manion, Arturas Rozenas, Rory Truex, Nils Weidmann, and participants at the 2017 MPSA Conference and the 2017 ESTA workshop at Konstanz University for their very helpful feedback. x PhD cand., Department of Political Science, University of Michigan. y Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Florida State University. z Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Duke University.
