“…are highly demanding while simultaneously allowing little control. Many areas of work correspond to this model, whereby individuals have high workloads but relatively little autonomy in completing their assigned tasks [21][22][23]. Therefore, high job demands and low job control play a role in perceived psychological distress and, as a consequence, the workers who experience a combination of these 2 domains are considered more exposed to occupational stress [24][25][26][27].…”

Objectives: Over the past decade, there has been a markedly growing interest in issues involving work-related stress in Europe. In Italy, according to Eurofound, research has demonstrated high levels of stress in the banking sector. With this in mind, a study was conducted to evaluate the peculiarities of hindrance and challenge stressors, and their links with recovery in the Italian banking population. Material and Methods: The health and safety managers of a major Italian banking group were contacted and invited to participate in a stress assessment procedure, not only for research purposes but also to help them fulfill their obligations with regard to work-related stress. In total, 6588 bank workers took part in the study (57.5% males and 42.5% females) in 2012-2018. Work-related stress was measured with the Stress Questionnaire (SQ) that assesses several psychosocial working variables. Recovery was measured using a scale based on the SQ. The analysis and tabulation of the study results were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: The results have demonstrated that female respondents lack more job control and colleagues' support as compared to male respondents. Employees aged > 50 lack their supervisors' support while employees with the shortest job seniority experience the greatest role ambiguity, as well as the lack of job control and colleagues' support. The results of hierarchical regression analysis have demonstrated that the lack of colleagues and supervisors' support, as well as job demands and job control, contribute to explaining the recovery experience. The greatest contribution to the explained variance could be attributed to job demands and the lack of colleagues' support. Conclusions: This study has demonstrated an important contribution of the so-called traditional stressors to predicting recovery for the banking population in Italy. These findings suggest that banks should adopt corporate policies containing activities for the prevention of and protection against stress, with a more general objective of improving the mental health of their workers.

“…Since 2018, the acceleration of political rhetoric suggests that many political leaders have come to rely on the transfer of their perception to justify their personal beliefs and concept formations when rendering a decision (Jackson, 2011;Crane, 2009;Braund, 2008). Here, for the first time, we report how "Negative arousing stimuli are remembered more often…" (Sharot, Delgado, & Phelps, 2004) especially when delivered in the form of a displaced thought process (agitation, toleration, resonation, acceleration, or integration) (Lee, Donnelly, Cohen, et al, 2016). As a result, such displaced thought process stimulus is now known to arouse the transfer of subjective perceptions, which is considered to cognitively influence, and negatively shape an individual's performance (decision-making and behavior).…”

“…This means now more than ever, political leaders can now be held accountable for how they communicate the transfer of their perception-based decisions (Brewer, 2012;Yukl & Mahsud, 2010;Frederiksen, 2010) onto their base of followers. Some leading researchers now consider this way of communication as "Dangerous behavior" (Lee, Donnelly, Cohen, et al, 2016). According to Talarico (2003), "The subjective sense of subconscious remembering when influenced by 'agitation' for instance is often taken into account as an actual accurate experience."…”

In the present day, one of the most subtle means political leaders use to influence their base of supporters is through verbal communication. With this in mind, research shows that over the past two years, some political leaders have increasingly relied on “transferring their perception onto their base of followers, which often negatively stimulates, arouses and shapes an individual’s performance” (decision-making and behavior). In addition, to the detriment of our society, when political leaders transfer their perception onto their base of followers, they often misjudge the sensitive consequences of their prospective outcomes. Here for the first time, research now shows that a displaced thought process is attributed to the underlying stimulation used to arouse the transfer of one’s perception onto others. Therefore, because the “Dangerous behavior” following the transfer of one’s perception has become so prevalent in our society, such performance warrants immediate exploration.

“…Everyday reports in the global media contribute to an awareness of the amount of violence faced by a large part of the human population. The different forms of violence, that include not only domestic viol-ence, sexual abuse or petty crime, but also especially human rights violation like torture and war crimes against civilians, can be seen as the most important challenge to public and especially mental health besides poverty (1). UNHCR estimates indicate, that "an average 24 people were forced to flee each minute in 2015, four times more than a decade earlier, when six people fled every 60 seconds".…”

ZusammenfassungDie medizinische und psychiatrische Betreuung von Flüchtlingen ist zu einer globalen Herausforderung geworden. Spezielle Behandlung, Unterstützung und Schutz sind aufgrund der Gewalterfahrungen und den daraus resultierenden psychischen Folgen bei vielen Betroffenengruppen erforderlich. Folterüberlebende sind dabei aufgrund der oft schweren psychologischen Traumatisierung als besondere Gruppe zu berücksichtigen. Ihnen steht nach internationalen ethischen und Menschenrechtsstandards besonderer Schutz zu. Hierbei ist es nötig, Betroffene früh wäh-rend des Aufnahmeprozesses zu identifizieren, und diesen besonderen Schutz sowie weitere spezielle Hilfe zu gewähren. Dies erfordert einen interdisziplinären Ansatz unter Berücksichtigung besonderer rechtlicher und menschenrechtlicher Rahmenbedingungen. Bei der Begutachtung sind bezüglich Überlebenden von Folter besondere Aspekte zu berücksichtigen, die im „Istanbul Protokolls“ der Vereinten Nationen festgelegt sind.
