Because I need it for a court case.I may not know the exact scientific term, but why is that important?
Well... at least thanks for keeping the thread bumped.No idea, closest i could thing of is "defusing the situation" by changing the conflicting parameter..![]()
Well... it's not like there's such thing as a reverse dictionary.Maybe there isn't one.. i had a search to find but the net can be uncooperative sometimes.. you might have to just say implemented a stricter regime/policy/solution etc.
sorry dude.
im not sure, sorry :cool2What is it called when an authority figure responds to a grievance by implimenting a policy that is even less desirable to the complaining party than the policy being complained about?
E.g. two siblings are arguing over whose turn it is to play with a toy, and Mom resolves the dispute by... taking the toy away altogether.
Or... a child complains that recess doesn't begin until 2pm, and the teacher decides "Ok, have it your way. No more recess at all, period."
Sociologically, what is that thought process called? I'm looking for the scientific term, sort of like "reverse psychology," except that's not what this is called.
Ok, let me try this example.I think it is just negative reinforcement though. For one the example and the description are different. The children are not grieving to their Mom like the description suggests, they are arguing with each other. So the mother negatively enforces their behavior by punishing both of them. Which seems harsh and would be considered abuse nowadays.
I gave another example on page 2 of this thread. Actually, it was immediately before your comment.I wouldn't call it emotional abuse. OP gave example of child situations but the actual term, whatever it may be is not classified as only emotional abuse or emotionally abusive in every situation.
Sorry, can't tell you. Protected by confidentiality laws.Not to get too personal but what exactly happened?
