Children with emotional distress are less competent
The work included the participation of nearly 1,000 children in which they measured levels of anxiety and depression, their image of themselves and the environment, and how they assessed their capabilities. Their perception of their skills was compared with their actual capabilities by examining the marks obtained in school. The results indicated that children suffering emotional distress tended to see themselves and their environment in a negative way, and felt they were less skilled and competent.
There are three negative thoughts or behaviors associated with emotional distress that encourage children to underestimate. The first is the tendency to blame all the failures and successes attributed to external factors, the second is the feeling that they are unable to properly perform any activity, and the third relates to low self-esteem, which leads them to underestimate in social and academic areas. According to the authors, girls are more likely than boys to suffer emotional distress and underestimated in all areas except social.
This may be because girls are more communicative skills that help them cope in society. “This finding suggests that emotional distress is a problem for the child’s development not only as a negative emotional experience, but also because can generate a negative view of himself. In addition, it causes the affected to feel incompetent and assess your skills. “The fact that children could be also negatively affects the perception others have of them, affecting their ability to defend themselves when criticism.
WikiLeaks sued for causing “severe emotional distress”
After the uproar that occurred late last year with the publication of secret documents by WikiLeaks, there were many who tried to benefit at the expense of Julian Assange and his controversial website.
But what was released in the last hours is completely crazy . A U.S. citizen, known as David Pitchford, filed a lawsuit against former hacker and the aforementioned Australian website because (supposedly) caused him “severe emotional distress”. What is the cure for this “disease”? 150 million dollars, nothing more, nothing less.
According to pray the information, the plaintiff has suffered a “serious imbalance” since Wikileaks published the secret documents of the U.S. State Department.
Pitchford accuses Assange terrorist and provoke a deep sense of fear at the prospect of a “nuclear war” (?).
The truth is that all this seems a joke, but it is not. And it is clear that this man has nothing to do with the U.S. government and is not directly affected by WikiLeaks.
He just wants to be too clever to be filled with notes. Most likely not get a penny, but the news is no less picturesque.
