Forgiveness and Implicit Theories in Early Adolescents
ISBN: 9783836474924 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The aim of my research has been to test implicit theory change as a way to help young adolescents forgive a peer who hurt them deeply. The first of two studies showed that those holding an incremental theory of attribution are more forgiving than those holding an entity view. Overall feelings of vulnerability to future hurt were higher for entity theorists. The second study measured the impact an intervention, designed to change one's implicit theory from entity toward an incremental view, would have on levels of forgiveness, expectations of future hurt, and levels of anger. Findings showed a...

An internationally recognized scholar of the psychology of violence, Charny defines two paradigms of mental organization, the democratic and the fascist,...
