Effective approach to ending bullying among young women
from My Mentor · host Edidiong Idang
We began this topic from the cradle, and I hope to take this as far as I can go. This is because a lot of women get bullied all through their lives- Either at home or in college or the workplace (depending on their field of endeavour). There is even some assumption that most people who get bullied at the early years of their lives get bullied all through; except they stand up and fight back. A team of Yale Medicine investigators is examining what causes bullying and to untangle the interactions between bullies and their victims and redirect them in more positive ways. Using evidence-based personality measurement tools, the researchers found that many bullies score high in “callous/unemotional” traits, which describes an inability to recognize signs that another person is upset. Such people become impaired in their ability to know that the other person is in distress because of their action.
