Guilt motivation and emotion
Download as PPSX, PDF3 likes964 views
Guilt can motivate individuals to alleviate distress and maintain social relationships by asking for forgiveness or trying to make amends. However, research suggests guilt alone may not be enough to create significant change, though it can encourage people to take action to address the problem. Guilt's role in motivating behavior is complex, as it relates to societal and interpersonal factors.

Prosocial BehaviorNikhilRai62
油
Prosocial behavior, or intent to benefit others, is a social behavior that "benefit other people or society as a whole","such as helping, sharing, donating, co-operating, and volunteering". Obeying the rules and conforming to socially accepted behaviors (such as stopping at a "Stop" sign or paying for groceries) are also regarded as prosocial behaviors. These actions may be motivated by empathy and by concern about the welfare and rights of others, as well as for egoistic or practical concerns, such as one's social status or reputation, hope for direct or indirect reciprocity, or adherence to one's perceived system of fairness. It may also be motivated by altruism, though the existence of pure altruism is somewhat disputed, and some have argued that this falls into philosophical rather than psychological realm of debate. Evidence suggests that pro sociality is central to the well-being of social groups across a range of scales, including schools. Prosocial behavior in the classroom can have a significant impact on a student's motivation for learning and contributions to the classroom and larger community. In the workplace, prosocial behaviour can have a significant impact on team psychological safety, as well as positive indirect effects on employee's helping behaviors and task performance. Empathy is a strong motive in eliciting prosocial behavior, and has deep evolutionary roots.
Prosocial behavior fosters positive traits that are beneficial for children and society. It helps many beneficial functions by bettering production of any league and its organizational scale. Evolutionary psychologists use theories such as kin-selection theory and inclusive fitness as an explanation for why prosocial behavioral tendencies are passed down generationally, according to the evolutionary fitness displayed by those who engaged in prosocial acts. Encouraging prosocial behavior may also require decreasing or eliminating undesirable social behaviors.
Although the term "prosocial behavior" is often associated with developing desirable traits in children, the literature on the topic has grown since the late 1980s to include adult behaviors as well. The term "prosocial" has grown into a world-wide movement, using evolutionary science to create real-world pro-social changes from working groups to our whole culture.Web 2.0 Sociology

1) Attribution theory examines how people explain events and behavior through internal (personal) or external (situational) causes. Heider found people tend to overestimate internal causes and underestimate external causes, known as the fundamental attribution error.
2) Jones and Davis found people tend to infer stable personality traits from behavior, known as correspondent inference. However, such inferences can be ambiguous without considering context.
3) Kelley's covariation model examines consistency, distinctiveness, and consensus to determine causal links between events and behavior. This helps systematically analyze attribution.Social roles

Social roles and expectations influence behavior during fire emergencies. People in leadership roles like supervisors are expected to behave differently than subordinates. Gender also impacts responses, with men more likely to investigate fires and fight them, while women tend to evacuate earlier and warn others.
Fire emergencies are stressful situations that create ambiguity. A psychology model explains that people in danger ask themselves two questions: if they are threatened, and how to cope with the threat. Coping involves both problem-solving and managing emotions, as extreme fear could interfere with performance, though panic seems rare.Chp.18 social psych

AlturismDr. sreeremya S
油
Social psychological theories often distinguish between the altruistic and egoistic motivations for prosocial behavior. Altruistic behavior is specifically thought of as the type of prosocial behavior that is motivated by the genuine desire to benefit another person, without any expectation of benefits to one self. Coming back to the above hypothetical scenario, Charlie may be motivated to engage in merit bono work out of compassion for disadvantaged clients who particularly need his support.
Altruism is a theory which encapsulates the social, behavioural, ecological, physiological theories. Kin selection is an important aspect of altruism. Its considered much of a prosocial behaviour. This paper embodies the altruistic theories and its characteristics

The document discusses how guilt is a common feeling that can be destructive if carried for long periods of time. It argues that guilt is a thought that causes negative physical and emotional impacts. While guilt serves a purpose in moderation by allowing us to learn from mistakes, carrying guilt long-term destroys self-esteem, health, relationships and prevents happiness. It provides questions and exercises to help people overcome guilt by forgiving themselves and giving themselves permission to make mistakes like all humans do.Social emotions

Priming participants with feelings of guilt by having them recall a regretful experience caused them to perceive physical weight more heavily than those primed with recalling a neutral experience, though the difference was not quite statistically significant. While weight estimates in the guilt condition were significantly higher than the actual weight, estimates in the neutral condition did not differ significantly from the actual weight. The guilt condition also showed greater variability in estimates. The authors hypothesize that significance may have been reached with a larger sample size to avoid outliers skewing the data.05 guilt

The document discusses the origin and effects of the feeling of guilt according to scripture. It began with Adam and Eve's sin and resulted in shame, fear, and hiding from God. Reactions to guilt include blaming others, justification, and lasting regret like Joseph's brothers felt. Rejecting God's call to repentance can lead to adverse reactions like Judas' despair and suicide. Peter initially denied Christ but later repented through Jesus' forgiving love. The only remedy for guilt is forgiveness through Christ's sacrifice and the Holy Spirit's call to repentance.Guilt vs Shame

Abstract
This article introduces intersectionality as a usable tool for critical reflection, which as a part of the
critical social work tradition aims to challenge oppression and inequality. It is argued that in critical
reflection, oppression and injustice are often understood in general terms and that oppression and
inequalities related to gender, sexuality, class, and race therefore risk being neutralized and
undetected. The suggestion is made that by using an intersectional approach, which focuses the
interplay and complexity between gender, sexuality, class, and race, critical reflection gets the
capacity to keep central power relations in urgent focus.

Introduction: Oppression and Critical Social Work
Critical and radical social work has been occupied with oppression and the ways through which
social structures shape social work practice since the 1960s. It criticizes traditional social work for
maintaining and reinforcing oppression and inequality, as social problems are usually understood as
an effect of the individuals lack of ability to cope with everyday life. By the view of critical social
workers and researchers, social work should be a practice with an ambition to challenge inequality,
marginalization, and oppression at a structural level by using structural understandings of social
problems (Adams, Dominelli, & Payne, 2002; Bailey & Brake, 1975; Dominelli, 2002; Pease &
Fook, 1999; Sakamoto & Pitner, 2005).
The interest in critical and anti-oppressive social work has increased during the last decades, and
several critical social work theorists have stressed the need for critical perspectives in a world
affected by and dependent on globalization and market economy (Dominelli, 2002; Fook, 2002;
Lewis, 2001; Morley, 2004; Stepney, 2005). Globalization creates economical standardization and
increasing economical dependency between states. At the same time, it increases Western, industria-
lized countries monopolies of technological, financial, communications, and weaponry resources.

This document analyzes prosocial behavior, which refers to actions that help others with no immediate benefit to the helper. It discusses several factors that influence helping behavior, including empathy, emotions, personality traits, and how similar the victim is to the helper. Failure to help often stems from diffusion of responsibility, where people assume someone else will help. The tendency to help depends on noticing an emergency, accepting responsibility, having the skills to help, and deciding to help. People volunteer for both selfish and selfless reasons, such as expressing values, learning, psychological development, career benefits, and strengthening relationships. Motivations can involve self-interest, moral integrity, or moral hypocrisy of claiming to help for moral reasons while actually actingCh18slides.ppt

Social psychology is the scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another. It examines how our thoughts and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. The field began in the early 20th century with studies on social facilitation. Social cognition focuses on how people process and apply social information, while social identity theory proposes that people derive part of their self-concept from group memberships. Evolutionary psychology examines how evolutionary pressures have shaped human cognition, perception, language, and behaviors over time.Psychology 102: Social processes, society & culture

What is it that moves a person to give up their time, money, and even safety to relieve another person's suffering? Compassion is the key. Human suffering is inevitable, but our ability to understand and sympathize with the plight and circumstances of other people can play a major role in whether we take action to relieve this suffering. Compassion is also a highly valued quality. Religions stress the importance of compassion, while people often list characteristics such as "kind" and "compassionate" as what they look for in a potential partner.Personality theories

Neuroticism is a personality trait involving negative emotions like anxiety, anger, and depression. People with high neuroticism are very sensitive to these emotions. Psychoanalytic approaches view neuroticism arising from issues like low self-esteem or a need for approval. The trait approach categorizes neuroticism as one of the Big Five personality traits. Biological approaches tie neuroticism to genetics and brain functioning, while cognitive approaches emphasize changing irrational thoughts to improve neuroticism. Treating neuroticism cognitively by changing thought patterns may be most effective.Isls bringle empathy

It presents research on trait empathic anger and its relationship to empathy, helping behaviors, and social justice attitudes. Studies found that trait empathic anger positively correlates with empathy, altruistic volunteer motives, advocacy work, and social justice beliefs. Empathic anger also predicted attributions of responsibility and desire to help after an injustice. The document considers implications for further research on empathic anger and its role in education and service learning.More Related Content

Social psychology is the scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another. It examines how our thoughts and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. The field began in the early 20th century with studies on social facilitation. Social cognition focuses on how people process and apply social information, while social identity theory proposes that people derive part of their self-concept from group memberships. Evolutionary psychology examines how evolutionary pressures have shaped human cognition, perception, language, and behaviors over time.Psychology 102: Social processes, society & culture

What is it that moves a person to give up their time, money, and even safety to relieve another person's suffering? Compassion is the key. Human suffering is inevitable, but our ability to understand and sympathize with the plight and circumstances of other people can play a major role in whether we take action to relieve this suffering. Compassion is also a highly valued quality. Religions stress the importance of compassion, while people often list characteristics such as "kind" and "compassionate" as what they look for in a potential partner.Personality theories

Neuroticism is a personality trait involving negative emotions like anxiety, anger, and depression. People with high neuroticism are very sensitive to these emotions. Psychoanalytic approaches view neuroticism arising from issues like low self-esteem or a need for approval. The trait approach categorizes neuroticism as one of the Big Five personality traits. Biological approaches tie neuroticism to genetics and brain functioning, while cognitive approaches emphasize changing irrational thoughts to improve neuroticism. Treating neuroticism cognitively by changing thought patterns may be most effective.Isls bringle empathy

ABSTRACT: The study explores Psychological Empowerment and Empathy as Correlates of Forgiveness.
The two variables are regarded to have influence on the decision one makes to forgive another. The study aimed
at examining the relationships between psychological empowerment and forgiveness, empathy and forgiveness
and to identify which one of the two,Psychological Empowerment or Empathy, is the more powerful predictor of
forgiveness. The study took a survey design with a sample of 350 drawn from a population of university students
using a self-administered questionnaire with four sections: Personal information, Psychological empowerment
scale, Toronto Empathy questionnaire, and the Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS). Data analysis employed
Pearsons product moment correlation and regression analysis to test hypotheses. The results show significant
relationships between psychological empowerment and forgiveness as well as empathy and forgiveness.
Empathy was found to be the more powerful predictor of forgiveness.

The Solar Systems passage through the Radcliffe wave during the middle MioceneS辿rgio Sacani

As the Solar System orbits the Milky Way, it encounters various Galactic environments, including dense regions of the
interstellar medium (ISM). These encounters can compress the heliosphere, exposing parts of the Solar System to the ISM, while also
increasing the influx of interstellar dust into the Solar System and Earths atmosphere. The discovery of new Galactic structures, such
as the Radcliffe wave, raises the question of whether the Sun has encountered any of them.
Aims. The present study investigates the potential passage of the Solar System through the Radcliffe wave gas structure over the past
30 million years (Myr).
Methods. We used a sample of 56 high-quality, young (30 Myr) open clusters associated with a region of interest of the Radcliffe
wave to trace its motion back and investigate a potential crossing with the Solar Systems past orbit.
Results. We find that the Solar Systems trajectory intersected the Radcliffe wave in the Orion region. We have constrained the timing
of this event to between 18.2 and 11.5 Myr ago, with the closest approach occurring between 14.8 and 12.4 Myr ago. Notably, this
period coincides with the Middle Miocene climate transition on Earth, providing an interdisciplinary link with paleoclimatology. The
potential impact of the crossing of the Radcliffe wave on the climate on Earth is estimated. This crossing could also lead to anomalies
in radionuclide abundances, which is an important research topic in the field of geology and nuclear astrophysics.WORKING AND APPLICATION OF LC-MS/MS 2025

Protein degradation via ubiquitous pathway In general science, a ubiquitous pathway refers to a biochemical or metabolic pathway that is:
1. *Widely present*: Found in many different organisms, tissues, or cells.
2. *Conserved*: Remains relatively unchanged across different species or contexts.
Examples of ubiquitous pathways include:
1. *Glycolysis*: The process of breaking down glucose for energy, found in nearly all living organisms.
2. *Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle)*: A key metabolic pathway involved in energy production, present in many cells.
3. *Pentose phosphate pathway*: A metabolic pathway involved in energy production and antioxidant defenses, found in many organisms.
These pathways are essential for life and have been conserved across evolution, highlighting their importance for cellular function and survival.

Iron oxide-hydroxide minerals in Martian dust provide crucial insights into
Mars past climate and habitability. Previous studies attributed Mars red color
to anhydrous hematite formed through recent weathering. Here, we show that
poorly crystalline ferrihydrite (Fe5O8H 揃 nH2O) is the dominant iron oxidebearing phase in Martian dust, based on combined analyses of orbital, in-situ,
and laboratory visible near-infrared spectra. Spectroscopic analyses indicate
that a hyperfine mixture of ferrihydrite, basalt and sulfate best matches Martian dust observations. Through laboratory experiments and kinetic calculations, we demonstrate that ferrihydrite remains stable under present-day
Martian conditions, preserving its poorly crystalline structure. The persistence
of ferrihydrite suggests it formed during a cold, wet period on early Mars
under oxidative conditions, followed by a transition to the current hyper-arid
environment. This finding challenges previous models of continuous dry oxidation and indicates that ancient Mars experienced aqueous alteration before
transitioning to its current desert state.Cell Structure & Function | Cambridge IGCSE Biology

Guilt motivation and emotion
- 1. Guilt and motivation: Tony Last
- 3. Guilt has been found to motivate individuals, or an individual's actions to alleviate their distress and keep their societal position or relationships, e.g. asking for forgiveness or trying to make amends.
- 5. Research suggests that guilt may not be sufficient to produce significant change, though it may encourage individuals to act and feel they have done something to alleviate the problem.

Editor's Notes
- #3: In most cases, guilt indicates that an individual has stepped outside of societal mores or personal values, showing them that their actions are jeopardising a goal, e.g. being a moral person and is highly linked to morality and the prevention of immoral actions, and the growth of moral attitudes.
- #4: It's been argued in appraisal theories that emotions relate to an individuals interpretation of an event in the context of their beliefs, desires, and goals. Goals are the object of a person's aim or desired results, an ambition or effort; and emotions can help guide and enable an individual through events that influence their goals. Connecting goals and emotions is relevant when discussing guilt, particularly when looking at ethical, moral, and cultural mores and behaviours. Guilt can also function as a facilitating emotion to assist with integration of an individual into a community and motivating them to accept and adapt to the societal mores and avoid ostracisation.
- #5: There has been a shift more recently towards studying the relational consequences of a transgression and guilt has been considered an adaptive response to improve social outcomes as it can help the individual to develop connections to others by generating preoccupation for their well-being.
- #6: However, sometimes the prosocial behaviours triggered in this way can be made at the expense of others in the society; their focus on making reparations blinding them to their neglect of those around them.
- #7: An appraisal is how an individual believes the situation they are experiencing is significant for them and whether, or how, it has implications for their well-being. Appraisal theory suggests that these interpretations are what makes an event significant, and generates emotions; and the appraisal of the event is as important as what actually took place, and applies to guilt in that an event occurs and the individual appraises it as something they shouldn't have done, and hence they feel guilt; which would probably motivate them to make reparatory actions.
- #8: Attribution theory suggests that the way an individual chooses to interpret the cause of an event or another's behaviours, can change they way they feel about the situation and this can change they way they react to it. Research has found that causal attributions of an event that lead to an experience of guilt were positively correlated to internal, unstable, controllable attributions (i.e. mood). Its generally considered that people that perceive events as internal and controllable believe that they can alter the situation and experience a more positive outcome; this may be due to a more pro-active attitude and believing that they can bring about and initiate change to deal with their distress.
- #9: Guilt is painful, but it can motivate an individual to act prosocially to feel better.
