Define scenarios of violence from psychological perspective

Reference no: EM132118185

Discussion: Violence

Consider the following two scenarios of violence from a psychological perspective:

• Cindy is 10 years old and has been physically beaten by her parents when she does something of which they do not approve. Over the past 5 years, Cindy has suffered a broken arm, black eyes, and many bruises as a result of her parents' beatings.

• Susan is 36 years old and had a good childhood, but married an abusive man. Over the 10 years they have been married, Susan's husband has consistently emotionally and physically abused her. To avoid legal or social repercussions against her husband, Susan has hidden her considerable injuries from employers, friends, and family members.

Though Cindy and Susan were both abused, their situations differ in that Cindy suffered the abuse as a child. Age has important implications for short and long-term effects of the abuse that women may suffer. Research suggests, for instance, that children or adolescents who experience domestic violence may experience physiological changes in their brain and lead to long-term psychological effects that are not present when the abuse occurs in adulthood.

To prepare for this Discussion, research potential long-term effects on girls and women of domestic violence that occurs during childhood and/or adolescence. Select one effect, potentially from this week's media, to use for this Discussion and locate three peer-reviewed articles on it.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the effect you selected and a synthesis of the research you have found on it (include references to the media as well). Then suggest areas for further research on this effect. Use the Learning Resources and other current literature to support your response. Cite your references using APA format.
