Abstract. We investigate the relationship between humor in leadership and turnover intentions and focus on benign and aggressive humor. We propose indirect relationships between both benign and aggressive humor and turnover intentions via cynicism toward the leader. We expect communication satisfaction to moderate these relationships. In our survey study, we found a negative relationship between benign humor and cynicism, while aggressive humor in leadership was positively related to cynicism. We found indirect effects of benign and aggressive humor on turnover intentions mediated via cynicism. The indirect effect of benign humor was moderated by communication satisfaction in a way that benign humor was more strongly related to cynicism and indirectly to turnover intentions if communication satisfaction was low. The indirect effect of aggressive humor on turnover intentions was not moderated by communication satisfaction. Our study underlines the necessity to distinguish between benign and aggressive humor and to further explore its boundary conditions.

Abstract:
Previous research has supported the hypothesis that the presence of a potential mate influences social behavior; however, there is a paucity of work that has extended this to the study of aggression. Thus, the current research had participants ( N = 1,035) view a picture of an attractive or unattractive member of the opposite sex. Participants then imagined themselves in front of the imagined person in a social setting in which they were provoked or not before completing an assessment of aggressive intentions. Results from the 2 (sex of participant) × 2 (attractiveness of the picture) × 2 (provocation or not) analysis of variance showed that males viewing an image of an attractive female had higher aggressive intentions when provoked than males viewing a nonattractive female; however, these effects were not found for female participants.

Abstract:
The article describes the risk factors for criminal aggression in adolescents with an organic mental disorder depending on the level of social deviations or severity of pathopsychological factor. The study involved 113 male adolescents aged 15 to 17 years. The main group consisted of juvenile offenders with organic mental disorder. We used the methods of investigation to determine the individual psychological characteristics, we also used structured risk assessment methods. It is shown that risk factors for criminal aggressive behavior in adolescents with organic mental disorder are a high level of proactive and reactive aggression, combined with underdeveloped mechanisms deter aggressive intentions. With the increase of organic disease, these features become more stable. An important role in shaping the aggressive criminal behavior plays an unsuccessful social environment. Interfamily problems, social deprivation, learning difficulties, communication in antisocial groups and substance abuse - all this increases the risk of aggressive illegal actions.

Abstract:
The present study examined whether age moderates the relationship between cognitive factors (theory of mind and attribution of intentions) and relational aggression. Participants ( N = 426; 216 boys) between 6 and 9 years of age were asked to complete theory of mind tasks and answer an attribution of intentions questionnaire. Teachers evaluated their students’ social behaviors including relational aggressive acts. Results suggest that theory of mind did affect relational aggression, when this association was moderated by chronological age. Specifically, it was found that the association between theory of mind and relational aggression was only significant and positive for younger participants; for older children the direction of this association was inverse. Taken together, findings from this study partially support the assertion that sophisticated cognitive skills are a prerequisite for indirect ways of aggression.

Abstract:
This study examined the causal attributions made by aggressive and nonaggressive individuals—as classified by a conditional reasoning measure of aggression—in response to incidents of subordinate success and failure. Following the presentation of traditional patterns of performance information (i.e., consensus, distinctiveness, and consistency), participants ( N = 407) made attributions regarding the cause of the subordinate’s behavior and indicated their preferred behavioral intentions. Overall, when evaluating incidents of subordinate success, the causal attributions of aggressive individuals were similar to those of nonaggressive individuals. However, when evaluating incidents of subordinate failure, the causal attributions of aggressive individuals deviated from those of nonaggressive individuals for three information patterns. Moreover, following a person attribution, aggressive individuals were more likely to endorse punitive responses to incidents of subordinate failure. Implications, potential limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

This research reports the results of a replication of Swanson and McIntyre's 1998 study of assertiveness and aggressiveness as potential moderators of verbal intentions. A convenience sample of 119 women and 71 men participated. Nonassertive subjects were least likely, while Resort-to-Aggressive subjects were the most likely, to talk with acquaintances and others. Nonassertive and Assertive subjects were significantly more likely than Aggressive ones to make recommendations. Finally, men and women scored equally assertive, but men were more likely to score aggressive. The findings generally support the earlier work.

Full text
Abstract:
Horizontal workplace aggression is a workplace stressor that can have serious negative outcomes for employees and organizations. In the current study, hierarchical regression analyses were used to investigate the hypotheses that horizontal workplace aggression has a relationship with turnover intentions, work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict. Coworker social support was investigated as a potential moderator in these relationships. Surveys measuring these constructs were administered to a group of 156 direct-care workers (specifically, certified nursing assistants, or CNAs) in a long-term assisted living facility corporation in the Northwestern United States. Results indicated that horizontal workplace aggression had a significant and positive relationship with work-to-family conflict, family-to-work conflict, and turnover intentions, and that coworker social support significantly moderated the relationship between horizontal workplace aggression and work-to-family conflict, though not in the hypothesized direction. No other hypothesized moderations were significant. Potential explanations, practical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of NLP Reframing as a means of decreasing sexual response when aggression is aroused by a female with incarcerated rape offenders. The process of reframing involves a redirection of the positive intentions underlying rape behavior by associating new acceptable and nonviolent behaviors to the same intention. The paradoxical nature of this method allows for measurement of newly acquired behavior, a decrease in the maladaptive behavior (rape) or a decrease in some representation of the maladaptive behavior. In this study, a representation was created by arousing the aggression level of the participants toward a female followed by measurement of sexual response as measured by the Sexual Imagery Levels 1 and 3 of the Rorschach. A post-test only control group design was utilized. The sample for this study included 26 rape offenders incarcerated at the Arizona Correctional Training Center in Tucson. Participants ranged from 18 to 28 years of age and had a mean age of 23.33 years; had a mean I.Q. of 112.71 on the Culture Fair Intelligence Test and included 13 Anglos, 7 Mexican Americans, 4 Blacks, and 2 Native Americans. Data analysis for hypotheses testing involved ANCOVA with the total number of responses on the Rorschach being the covariate. Significant results beyond the .05 level of confidence were obtained on one of the two directional hypotheses (Sexual Imagery Level 3), suggesting that reframing rape behavior using the NLP method with incarcerated rape offenders may be effective in decreasing sexual response at a more symbolic level.

Sarcasm is used to criticize or chastise, and conveys an implicit criticism to a particular victim as the target (Long & Graesser, 1988; McDonald, 1999). Most previous studies investigating the usage of sarcasm have focused on English or Chinese literature. However, fewer studies have focused on the intentions of verbally aggressive sarcasm. Moreover, little research has paid attention to the relationship among a speaker’s intention, means, and linguistic form of sarcasm. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the usages of aggressive sarcasm in The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan and testing if means and linguistic forms were related to female characters’ intentions. The research questions are as following: (1) What dominant intentions of sarcasm are expressed in The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan? (2) What dominant means of sarcasm are applied in The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan? (3) What linguistic forms of sarcasm are observed in The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan? (4) How are intentions of sarcasm presented via specific means, and specific linguistic forms? This study selected 90 sentences from quarrels among the concubines and conversations between different cliques. These sentences were coded to determine the frequency of items in each variable for The Legend of Concubine Zhen Huan, and used a chi-square test to examine the relationship among intention, means, and linguistic form. The results show that (a) criticizing the addressee’s trait, criticizing the addressee’s behavior, and telling the addressee that her deeds are justifiable are the dominant intentions, (b) attacking the addressee’s character, remarking on the person’s behavior, and reformulation are the dominant means, (c) ironic criticism, ironic compliment, ironic goodwill, and ironic gratitude are observed, (d) a speaker’s means and linguistic forms are correlated to the speaker’s intention (p< 0.05).

Abstract:
Master's thesis China, India and the armed conflict potential in South East Asia is concerned with the current relations of mentioned countries and is trying to figure out, if an outburst of a military conflict between them could occur or whether they will rather cooperate. The thesis is based on the notion that these two world giants in the terms of number of inhabitants, area and even a GDP volume have an unresolved border dispute, ever since the India reached independence. Their mutual border has never been officially demarcated. The small skirmishes between the border patrols of both states are uncountable. In addition, in 1962 they waged a war against each other, which China won in very decisive manner. Both states have been disputing which side caused this conflict till today. Rising economic power of both states currently, together with supposed arming, development of military rocket and submarine technology capable to carry nuclear warheads and establishment of naval bases by China in the proximity of India could create a really effervescent atmosphere in the area. The thesis is divided into six chapters. First chapter introduces the topic. Second chapter establishes the theoretic framework, which is underpinning the research. The other chapters are empirical. The main areas of the analysis...

Abstract:
Bern’s newssheet gave a justification for its aggression, couched as a defence of Protestantism in Geneva (though Catholic Valais’s expansion was mentioned), but also to give reassurance that the geopolitical balance of power remained intact, given that the French conquest of Savoy was a fait accompli. The role of Fribourg for control of the Vaud has been underplayed by historians, concerned to emphasize Bern’s unremittingly aggressive intentions. But were not Bern’s motives primarily to neuter Savoy by holding strategic fortresses in pawn, and milking the Vaud financially, rather than controlling swathes of territory? But French designs upon Geneva and Savoy obliged Bern to switch tack. After the conquest, of course, defence of Protestantism did require territorial control. Fribourg’s motives combined territorial expansion and safeguarding Catholicism, while seeking to avoid encirclement by Bern.

Abstract:
The writings of al-Fārābī and Aquinas make visible a morality that informs the oppositions between the peaceful and the warlike, and between just war and illegitimate aggression. In their typologies of different groups and cities, each designates some group as warlike, or as waging war for no good reason. Each contrasts this group’s disposition to illegitimate aggression to other kinds of violence and war, including, for Aquinas, “just war.” But each also implies—at times inadvertently—that recourse to violence can radically transform those who use it, which puts into question the political work of such classifications and elisions. Indeed, each describes a peace-loving group that wages war. Unlike diagnoses of the warlike disposition, the commitment to peace privileges “intentions” in a way that elides and ultimately sanctions the desire to correct others—one’s brothers, neighbors, friends, and enemies—in the name of peace.

Abstract:
AbstractJurisdictions can engage in different types of aggressive tax policies to varying degrees. These policies can have negative spillover effects on other jurisdictions. In the realm of corporate taxation, these effects consist of base erosion and profit shifting and perceived pressures to reduce corporate taxes. Both direct and indirect effects undermine the efforts especially of developing countries at mobilising domestic resources to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. We analyse the intensity of corrosive tax policies by exploiting a new legal dataset compiled for the Corporate Tax Haven Index (CTHI). Relying on rigorously defined indicators, the dataset allows comparative analyses of negative and positive spillover pathways in the corporate income tax systems of 64 jurisdictions. Tax policies under review comprise, for example, preferential tax regimes, extremely low tax rates agreed through secretive tax rulings, economic zones and tax holidays. Comparing the 27 European Union (EU) member states with five African developing countries, we find important differences. Except for two indicators (loss utilisation and economic zones/tax holidays), the European Union members are found to consistently engage in more aggressive corporate tax policies than the African countries. These heightened risks for negative spillovers emanating from the EU27 corporate tax rules stand in conflict with the stated intentions by the European Union to support good governance in tax matters and its commitment to ensure policy coherence for development. The chapter provides recommendations on how to reduce the risks for negative spillovers in corporate taxation and to exit the race to the bottom in corporate taxation.

Abstract:
The Six-Day War currently stands as one of the CIA’s greatest ‘success’ stories in the Middle East. Good intelligence is credited with guiding policy makers in the UK and US to resist Israeli requests for military support and thereby containing a conflict that could have pitted a Western supported Israel against a Soviet backed Arab force. What made intelligence so effective in this instance? This chapter argues that analysts recognised the intentions and capabilities of the major players in this conflict. They knew that Nasser had no appetite for a war with Israel and acknowledged that he had been goaded by Syria into an aggressive rhetoric that became dangerously self-fulfilling. More importantly, analysts correctly identified that despite the numerical superiority of the combined Arab forces, the Israeli military would prevail. Yet looking beyond the catharsis of military conflict raises important questions about the utility of discourse such as ‘success’ in describing a war whose tragic legacy remains with us today.

Full text
Abstract:
In this essay, Winnicott states that the basis for a study of actual aggression must be a study of the roots of aggressive intention. The main source of aggression is instinctual experience. In the stage of what Winnicott calls Pre-Concern, aggression is a part of love. If it is lost at this stage of emotional development there is some degree of loss of the capacity to love; to make relationships with objects. During the Stage of Concern there are innocent aggressive impulses towards frustrating objects, and guilt-productive aggressive impulses towards good objects. With the phase he describes as the Growth of Inner World, the child becomes concerned with the effect on his mother of his impulses, and the results of his experiences in his own self. A complex series of defence mechanisms develops, which should be examined in any attempt to understand aggression in a child who has reached this stage. A state of what looks like delusional madness easily appears through the child’s projection of inner world experience out onto his objects. All being well through these stages, aggression then can come to have social value.

Full text
Abstract:
More assertive and insistent than level 3, level 4 intensifies our verbal and nonverbal posture without taking us into the territory of hostility. The same words may be used as in level 3, but the delivery of those words is more intense. Facial expression is very focused, with mildly hard eyes. We speak with an almost flat inflection in the lower part of our vocal range. We pronounce words with a crispness (especially conso­nants) that is very direct. As in level 3, giving directives is important in level 4, and they help focus our intentions and expectations. In level 4, we are very firm in delivering our message, without using aggressive behav­ior or demeaning language. • To a student who calls another student a derogatory name: “That is unacceptable in this classroom!” • To a colleague who makes an inappropriate comment or ges­ture: “That has no place in our school. If you want to know why, ask me about it. Otherwise, just know I am voicing my objection to that right now.” • To a telemarketer who gets pushy: “This is my home. You are intruding. Do not call me again!” • To a child who retorts, “I don’t want to and you can’t make me!”: “You don’t want to do that, and I don’t especially want to make you do that. But we will sit here until it is done. So you have some choices to make right now.” Assertiveness level 4 delivers a strong “cease and desist” mes­sage. It conveys that something must stop; something must change. In this level of assertiveness, a line is being drawn with a powerful message, but harsh words that accuse, goad, or inflame are not used. In some ways, level 4 lets us be strong, intense, and absolute without being pulled into the magnetic field of others’ wrath or derogatory behaviors. The purposeful demagnetizing that level 4 offers can make lasting, potent contributions to our emotional health.

Abstract:
A threat is an utterance whose content implies an intention to do harm. The motivational typology presented in the chapter distinguishes between the intention to threaten and the commitment to act. The commonest threats in everyday life are the expletive screams. These threats may also reflect a preexisting angry or fearful state of mind and presage further aggression, though not necessarily against the person threatened. Threateners whose intention is to shield themselves are, if anything, committed to avoiding violence. Those who intend to shock are using the threat as a weapon to cause distress. Those who threaten to signal their commitment to enact are sending a clear warning that produces apprehension in even the most stoic. Those who scheme, coerce action through menacing behavior. Given that any threatener can escalate to violence, all threats need to be taken seriously and assessed carefully. Management reduces the commitment to violence and challenges the choice to threaten.

Abstract:
The goal of palliative sedation is to relieve suffering due to refractory symptoms by inducing a state of decreased or absence in awareness—a reduction in consciousness—by administering sedating medications. It is a legally and ethically acceptable treatment and is distinct from euthanasia. However, prior to consideration of palliative sedation, necessary steps are required after a thorough interdisciplinary assessment. One of the most important step is that the patient must be suffering from a refractory symptom, defined as a symptom that “cannot be adequately controlled despite aggressive efforts to identify a tolerable therapy that does not compromise consciousness.” The intention of palliation sedation is to palliate the refractory symptom(s) and not to shorten the duration of life. This chapter reviews the common reasons for and various important aspects involved in palliative sedation.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the role of envy in anti-Semitism and genocide. After making the case for why Jews might be envied in the first place, it suggests reasons why envy, together with other factors, should help explain the specific ways in which Jews have been the targets of prejudice and extreme aggression. Jews, because they are envied due to their perceived competence and because they are believed to have intentions to use their competence to undercut the majority culture, are often seen as powerful threats to the majority culture and blamed for societal troubles. The analysis emphasizes the propensity of envy to transmute itself into more palatable emotions that succeed in justifying hatred and making genocide more likely.

Pilonidal disease presents with a range of signs and symptoms: asymptomatic pits in the natal cleft, acute abscesses, chronic disease with persistent, discharging sinuses, or recurrent disease following previous attempts at treatment. It primarily affects the sacrococcygeal region and is a disease of young adults, generally male, and leads to pain, disability, and time lost from work. The treatment for an acute pilonidal abscess is widely accepted to be incision and drainage with the incision placed out of the natal cleft. The treatment of chronic and recurrent disease is contentious with excision and then either healing by secondary intention, primary closure, or flap closure all being suggested alongside other less aggressive approaches aimed at conserving tissue. Currently none of these treatments is ideal, although primary closure in the midline has been shown to be inferior and should not be performed.

Abstract:
This paper presents a detailed experimental evaluation of the flow field in a state of the art linear cascade with boundary-layer suction. The linear cascade was designed using a new design-process as described by Hja¨rne et al. [1]. From the measurements presented in this paper it can be concluded that all of the features of the test-rig work as expected. Hence the measurements validate the design process presented by Hja¨rne et al. in [1]. The intention with the test facility is to provide high quality benchmark cases for the flow field around aggressive designs of Low Pressure Turbine/Outlet Guide Vanes (LPT/OGV’s) to be used for validation of numerical codes. The flow quality is assessed by measuring inlet uniformity, boundary-layer heights, periodicity of the static pressure distribution around the OGV’s and uniformity of the outlet flow.

Abstract:
The advantage of higher turbine inlet temperatures as a way to increase cycle efficiency is potentially outweighed by the efficiency losses caused by the increased secondary air extracted from the compressor discharge to cool turbine components. Higher cooling effectiveness schemes could be used, but pressure head required to drive the coolant flow through the hot section components may be higher than those available due to combustor pressure losses. This paper looks to determine the potential effects on the overall cycle efficiency caused by an intentional pressure drop across the combustor, allowing more aggressive cooling schemes with a lower amount of cooling air, based on data of state of the art cooling schemes (coolant flow ratio, pressure head and cooling effectiveness) and a parametric analysis of a simple cycle turbine. Results suggest that coolant flow reduction can actually result in a lower pressure drop across the cooling passages, given the decreased flow velocity ending up in higher efficiency and specific work. Enhanced cooling schemes can also allow higher turbine inlet temperatures for a given coolant flow, resulting in improved performance.
