One of the most glaring manifestations of this is the racial disproportionality observed in incarceration rates. This paper delves into specific domains, such as the justice and social welfare systems, where institutional discrimination is evident, contributing to the disenfranchisement of African Americans. It further addresses the gap in literature concerning the impacts of such racial disproportionality in incarceration, especially the systemic challenges faced post-incarceration. The objective of this research is to delineate the facets of institutionalized racism towards African Americans in the context of incarceration and to propose evidence-based clinical interventions for professionals working with this demographic.","PeriodicalId":191923,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychological Perspective","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135344600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated psychological needs and quality of life characteristics of a group of PSAs in João Pessoa, Paraíba. Anxiety levels, impulsiveness, and quality of life were evaluated in 64 professionals using various scales. The results showed that anxiety was moderate in men only in the Cognitive and Physiological scales and absent in the Motor and General Level of Anxiety scales. In women, moderate anxiety was observed in all four subscales. Quality of life was rated as regular in all four domains, with Social Relations being the best-structured and Environment being the lowest scoring domain. The evaluation of impulsivity showed a low score in the Lack of Concentration and Persistence factor, an extreme lower score in the Cognitive Control and Future Planning factors, and a medium score in the Audacity and Temerity factor. These results differ from the literature, indicating high anxiety scores and low quality of life for PSAs. Thus, further studies are needed to understand the impact of the work environment on the psyche of PSAs and develop actions to improve their psychological needs, manage anxiety and impulsivity, and positively impact their quality of life.","PeriodicalId":191923,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychological Perspective","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134220628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This literature review furnishes a synopsis and essential analysis of child maltreatment, including abuse and neglect, and examines its numerous processes and complex effects on individuals, families, and society. Childhood maltreatment can include physical, sexual, and emotional can lead to Adverse Childhood Effects (ACE). These effects may have a detrimental impact on one's development, social skills, immediate and long-term physical well-being, mental health, and mortality. Although parents and caregivers determine their children's rearing practice, there must be procedures in place for medical professionals and schools to intervene when childhood maltreatment occurs. Moreover, the definition of abuse and state laws vary; therefore, there is a necessity for universal designations as to what entails maltreatment and abuse, and deterrents must be put in place federally to reduce childhood maltreatment.","PeriodicalId":191923,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychological Perspective","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132174333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In view of this, the socio-psychological factors identified in the study include emotional intelligence, career self-efficacy, socio-economic status, gender, academic discipline and occupational prestige. Using a descriptive research survey design 300 secondary school students were selected through simple random sampling techniques from five (5) secondary schools in Osogbo. Standardized instruments were used for data collection in the study; these instruments were however revalidated. Three research questions were answered. The data obtained were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple linear regression analysis at 0.05 level of significance. The results indicate that career maturity significantly (positive) correlated with Emotional Intelligence career self-efficacy, socioeconomic status, academic discipline and occupational prestige However, the relationship between gender and career maturity was not significant. When pulled together, the six (6) independent variables significantly affect the student’s career maturity. Besides, each of the independent variables significantly contributed to the prediction of career maturity. Career self-efficacy made the most significant contribution to the criterion, followed by emotional intelligence and socio-economic status. However, occupational prestige, gender and academic discipline did not independently predict the career maturity of secondary school students. Based on the findings, it is recommended that counseling psychologists and other helping professionals should work on assessing and considering emotional intelligence, career self-efficacy, socioeconomic status, occupational prestige and the academic discipline in the process of rendering career guidance to students.","PeriodicalId":191923,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychological Perspective","volume":"518 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116172993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
