Uncircumcised women continue to be stigmatised with their rights and social status contested in communities where the practice is cherished. This study explored the circumcision refusal coping skills of women from the Pokot community, North-Eastern Uganda. Informants were 25 uncircumcised Pokot women and five key informants. Following in-depth interviews, the thematic analysis revealed that women cope with circumcision refusal by cultural repositioning, desertion of their parental and matrimonial homes, and getting married to men from other tribes. Additionally, the women coped with circumcision refusal through social support from close relatives and social institutions and ignoring those that harass them. They also focussed on positive experiences associated with non-circumcision and employed a high self-esteem, positivity about their future, and knowledge of the legal framework. Integration of uncircumcised women in the fight against female circumcision is imperative since their coping mechanisms in the community are critical in enhancing resilience among those at risk of being circumcised.

The study investigated the relationship between organisational justice (OJ: distributive, interactive, and procedural) and work-place deviance (WPD) behaviours and the role of perceived organisational support (POS) in that relationship. Participants were bank workers from South-east Nigeria (n = 482; male = 54%, female = 46%; mean age = 31.72 years, SD = 6.88 years). The bank workers completed the organisational justice scale, work-place deviance scale, and perceived organisational support scale. Following hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the results showed that high distributive justice was associated with minor work-place deviance among bank workers. Perceived organisational support was associated with high work-place deviance (major) positively and (minor) negatively. Also, perceived organisational support moderated the relationship between interactive justice and major work-place deviance. These findings suggest more sensitisation among bank management on the need for equity in the distribution of organisational resources to enhance the reduction in deviant behaviours among bank workers.

This study aimed to identify the influences of compulsory unethical pro-organisational behaviour (CUPB) on employees’ in-role performance and the potential mechanisms between them. Based on the multilevel data from 612 salespeople in China (female = 55.4%; managers = 47.8%; 23–30 years = 55.2%), we found that CUPB was associated with lower employees’ in-role performance. Guilty emotion partially mediated the relationship between CUPB and employees’ in-role performance. Further, we found that the strength between CUPB and guilty emotion was moderated by moral identity. Specially, the regression analysis results showed that the CUPB–moral identity interaction effect significantly predicted feeling guilty. However, the moderated mediation effect of moral identity was not significant. Our results suggest a need for businesses not to force employees too much, to avoid employees engaging in compulsory UPB, and to carefully evaluate both the positive and negative effects of UPB.

The present study assessed conceptualisations of human rights in Mozambique, a developing country with a history of Portuguese colonisation. Participants were 102 Mozambicans adults (female = 48%; mean age = 29.25 years; SD = 9.04 years). They responded to four kinds of information from realistic human rights scenarios: (i) the level of social protection citizens in the country enjoyed; (ii) the level of freedom of expression they enjoyed; (iii) the objective level of equality between citizens in the country; and (iv) the extent to which private life was respected. The Mozambican participants endorsed the indivisibility model of human rights, considering that only regimes that guarantee the full experience of all four kinds of basic rights can be considered as fully respectful of human rights. This perspective is similar of the one sustained by French and Venezuelan participants in a previous study. These findings suggest that the widespread “belle policy” (economic and social rights should take precedence over political and civil rights) defended by many sub-Saharan African policymakers must be challenged in favour of policies that promote the simultaneous fulfilment of all the citizens’ human rights.

The study aimed to assess factors associated with multiple suicide attempts (MSA) in adolescents with a history of suicide attempts in Morocco. National cross-sectional data from the Global School-Based Student Health Survey (GSHS) in Morocco in 2016 were analysed. Students who reported to have a history of past 12-month suicide attempts were included in the final sample (n = 931). In multiple logistic regression, students with MSA were compared with students with a single suicide attempt (SSA). Results indicated that among the subsample of school adolescents (median age = 15 years), 55.8% had attempted suicide once, and 44.2% multiple times in the past 12 months. Compared to students who attempted suicide once, students with MSA more often had anxiety-induced sleep disturbance and were more frequently bullied. Compared to participants without psychosocial distress, students with three or more psychosocial distress factors had higher odds of MSA. Further, compared to students without health risk behaviours, students with three or more health risk behaviours had a higher odd of MSA. Psychosocial distress (anxiety-induced sleep disturbance and frequently being bullied) and multiple health risk behaviours increased the odds of MSA, suggesting the potential relevance of these variables in identifying multiple suicide attempters among adolescents in Morocco.

We sought to investigate employee motivation mediation of the relationship between servant leadership, employee motivation, job satisfaction, and affective organisation commitment in a public sector enterprise. Participants (n = 128; male = 73; female = 55; age range = 31–40 years = 43; working more than 10 years = 49) where from a South African state-owned enterprise. They completed measures of perceptions of servant leadership, employee motivation, job satisfaction, and affective organisation commitment. Following mediation analysis, results indicated that intrinsic and extrinsic work motivation mediated the relationship between servant leadership, job satisfaction, and affective organisation commitment. These findings suggest that motivation is an important intervening condition to enhance the relationship between servant leadership and employee attitudes such as extrinsic and intrinsic job satisfaction and affective commitment. Therefore, managers who display servant leadership behaviour are more likely to instil motivation, job satisfaction, and affective organisation commitment in their followers.

This study investigated the extent and the nature of the behavioural and psychological control experienced by adolescents within four contexts (parental, peer, school, and community) of their everyday lives. The adolescents (n = 463; female = 52.5%, black African = 69.3%; mean age = 15.69 years, SD = 2.86 years) were from six public high schools in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The participants completed adapted versions of the Parents’ Psychological Control Scale and the Peer Control Scale. Multivariate analyses of variance revealed that in the school and community contexts, early adolescents and female participants experienced significantly higher levels of control than older adolescents and male participants. Female early adolescents experienced significantly higher levels of control (school behavioural control, community behavioural control, and community psychological control) specific to the school contexts which was in the form of psychological control. Findings of this study can inform community mentors and school counsellors of the important psychological and behavioural impact that community norms and school values have on how adolescents experience their social worlds and negotiate the boundaries of various social systems.

We examined the relationship between COVID-19 stressors and individuals’ career insecurity and the moderating effect of family support and openness to experience on that relationship. Participants were 207 young Chinese employees (female = 52.2%; mean age = 25.5 years, SD = 4.673 years). They completed the COVID-related stressors, Family Support, Career Insecurity, and Openness Questionnaires. Regression analysis results showed that COVID-related stressors were associated with higher career insecurity. Openness to experience buffered such a link between the COVID-related stressors and career insecurity so that when openness was high, career insecurity from COVID-related stressors was lower. Family support did not moderate the relationship between COVID-related stressors and career insecurity. These findings suggest the importance of personality traits in the relationship between COVID-19 pandemic stressors and work participation for resilient careers.

This study aimed to characterise adverse childhood events (ACEs) experiences of school-going Ugandan adolescents (female = 50.6%, with diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder: PTSD = 38.2%; mean age = 15.9 years, SD = 1.2 years). The children completed the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire. Latent class analysis yielded three groups of “low risk” (individuals with low probabilities of experiencing most of the adverse life events), “intermediate risk” (individuals with higher probability of being exposed to adverse life events compared to the low-risk group), and “high risk” (individuals with extremely high probabilities of having experienced all the adverse life events). Compared with the low-risk class, the high-risk class was found to be significantly more likely to have a diagnosis of PTSD. Being a female may be an antecedent risk factor for high exposure to ACE in the Ugandan setting. These findings indicate the feasibility of grouping Uganda children with ACEs for targeted treatment interventions.

Latent class analysis yielded three groups of “low risk” (individuals with low probabilities of experiencing most of the adverse life events), “intermediate risk” (individuals with higher probability of being exposed to adverse life events compared to the low-risk group), and “high risk” (individuals with extremely high probabilities of having experienced all the adverse life events). Compared with the low-risk class, the high-risk class was found to be significantly more likely to have a diagnosis of PTSD. Being a female may be an antecedent risk factor for high exposure to ACE in the Ugandan setting. These findings indicate the feasibility of grouping Uganda children with ACEs for targeted treatment interventions.","PeriodicalId":46959,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychology in Africa","volume":"32 1","pages":"632 - 639"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47341322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
