Findings from interviews with 15 emerging adults ( M age = 29.00, SD = .37) subjected to bullying victimization as children and suffering from poor psychological health in emerging adulthood revealed experiences of a very long duration of victimization, coping through adaptation to the bullying, and experiences of not receiving help from school personnel. Many participants described experiences of depression, anxiety, and even suicidal thoughts during the school-years victimization. They perceived several direct long-term consequences of the victimization in emerging adulthood: feelings of insecurity; actively avoiding social situations; an identity formed into viewing oneself as worthless; and body-image problems. Additionally, many of them still felt anger towards school personnel who they remembered as not stopping the victimization. A longitudinal and prospective design enabled insights into victims’ experiences of both the childhood victimization as well as perceived long-term consequences on their emerging adulthood – and into how the victims experience that these aspects might be related.
The present study examines a large scale intervention program within the manufacturing industry with the purpose of improving cooperation and health among both management and production teams. Altogether 31 management teams and 132 production teams, comprising 1596 individuals, participated in this intervention program. All the management teams were assigned a budget of nine hours of consultation-time each, plus a GDQ-measurement before and at the termination of the project. There were six meetings during the project and each meeting lasted one and a half hours. Four groups met concurrently, in the same room together with the two consultants. The present results target the issue of consultants' and managers' perceptions of the intervention process, but not the outcomes or the result of the intervention performed. Interviews were carried out with the two consultants who conducted the whole intervention and ten of the top managers who participated in the intervention. The interviews focused upon critical aspects associated with either success or failure before, during and after the intervention program. Content analyses were performed for consultant and managers separately, in order to extract themes describing their views of the intervention process. Similarities and differences between consultants' and managers' perceptions of the process are discussed.
