"Effects of the Aggression Against the DRV on Public Health," testimony by Roberto Guerra, M.D. Guerra, Roberto.
"You're still being very aggressive, you're still killing people in the game — but when you cooperate, that overrides any of the negative effects of the extreme aggression," explains researcher John Velez, a graduate student in communication at Ohio State.
Moderated hierarchical regressions showed that, among nurses, only the job content level resources moderated the effects of the verbal aggression on job burnout.
Considering the job content level among nurses, most of the resources work as moderators of the effect of verbal aggression on burnout.
Therefore, the slope tests further supported that these resources moderated the effect of verbal aggression in increasing emotional exhaustion in the expected direction.
Finally, for groups which more highly valued aggressive behavior, the effect of individual aggression on popularity and social preference was reduced (model 4 in Tables 2 and 3, and Fig. 1).
As indicated by the negative interaction between the attraction to violence and the group dummy variable, there is a protective effect of appetitive aggression on the PTSD symptom severity in participants who were demobilized in groups, compared to those who demobilized themselves on an individual level.
These studies found cross-sectional and prospective evidence regarding the effect of physical aggression and assault or robbery by means of violence on the incidence and the prevalence of common mental disorders [ 15, 16].
Moderated hierarchical regression analyses were employed to examine the main effect of verbal aggression and of job resources on job burnout, as well as the moderating (buffering) role of job resources on the relationship between verbal aggression and burnout.
The second aim of the study was to explore whether any job content, social, and organizational level resources are capable of moderating the effect of the exposure to verbal aggression on burnout.
