GREAT ESCAPE [3 records]

Record 1 2001-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Operations Research and Management
CONT

At the opposite end of the scale from the panic zone lies what Robert Kriegel calls the "drone zone". Kriegel believes that too much emphasis on mastery of a particular skill can lead to a sudden and quite unexpected feeling of job dissatisfaction stemming from boredom. Although it can sometimes feel great to escape the rapids of the panic zone for the slower waters of mastering a particular scientific or engineering task, it is the opportunity to shuttle between challenge and mastery that keeps a job interesting.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Social Problems
  • Human Behaviour
CONT

The inability of disabled people to physically defend themselves may be [a] risk factor. Mobility, sensory and intellectual impairments are all likely to interfere with a persons’ ability to resist or escape abuse. Because of the nature of their disability, physically dependent people are also often unable to exert normal counter-control over those who care for them. Thus, these people may experience a particularly great risk for sexual abuse at the hands of their caregivers.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Problèmes sociaux
  • Comportement humain
CONT

L'incapacité des personnes handicapées de se défendre physiquement peut constituer un (...) facteur de risque. Les handicaps moteurs, sensoriels et mentaux sont tous susceptibles d'entraver la capacité à résister ou à s'échapper en cas d'agression. A cause de la nature de leurs handicaps, les personnes physiquement dépendantes sont le plus souvent incapables d'opposer une résistance normale à ceux qui s'occupent d'elles. Par conséquent, elles risquent d'être particulièrement vulnérables aux agressions sexuelles commises par les personnes chargées de prendre soin d'elles.
