BACKGROUND The use of coercion is morally problematic and requires an ongoing critical reflection. We wondered if not knowing or being uncertain whether coercion is morally right or justified (i.e. experiencing moral doubt) is related to professionals' normative attitudes regarding the use of coercion. METHODS This paper describes an explorative statistical analysis based on a cross-sectional...

Coercion involves two or more parties who are in conflict and whose relationships complex uneasy. Generally speaking, people resent coercion and, when possible, rebel against it. This paper differentiates between circumstantial person-based coercion, brute forms of oppression, benevolent malevolent coercion. Government interference to combat murder for family honour serves as a clear example Th...

INTRODUCTION Although informal coercion is frequently applied in psychiatry, its use is discussed controversially. This systematic review aimed to summarize literature on attitudes toward informal coercion, its prevalence, and clinical effects. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, PsycINF, and Google Scholar was conducted. Publications were included if they reported original data de...

Introduction: A growing body of evidence shows that sexual coercion is widespread among young women. Behavioral, lifestyle, and relationship factors have all been identified as risk factors that increase a women’s vulnerability to sexual coercion victimization. However, it remains unclear which risk factors most strongly increase young women’s vulnerability to sexual coercion victimization. Obj...

Previous behavioral and electrophysiological studies have presented evidence suggesting that coercion expressions (e.g., began the book) are more difficult to process than control expressions like read the book. While this processing cost has been attributed to a specific coercion operation for recovering an event-sense of the complement (e.g., began reading the book), an alternative view based...

This study aimed to investigate factors linked to perceived coercion at admission and during treatment among voluntary inpatients. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Two hundred seventy patients were screened for perceived coercion at admission. Those who felt coerced into admission rated their perceived coercion during treatment a month after admission. Patient characteristics and...

The majority of labor transactions throughout much of history and a significant fraction of such transactions in many developing countries today are “coercive,” in the sense that force or the threat of force plays a central role in convincing workers to accept employment or its terms. We propose a tractable principal-agent model of coercion, based on the idea that coercive activities by employe...

Research on sexual coercion from an evolutionary perspective has been given considerable attention in both the human and nonhuman literatures. Sexual Coercion in Primates and Humans: An Evolutionary Perspective on Male Aggression Against Females represents the first synthesis on primates, though reviews on sexual coercion in a wider variety of species have been published elsewhere (e.g., Lalumi...
