Moral shielding: A grounded theory of integrity maintenance in multidisciplinary teams

Using a classic grounded theory methodology (CGT), this study explores the phenomenon of moral shielding within mental health multidisciplinary teams (MDTS). The study was located within three catchment areas engaged in acute mental health service practice. The main concern identified was the maintenance of a sense of personal integrity during situational binds. Through theoretical sampling thirty two practitioners, including; doctors, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, counsellors and psychologists, where interviewed face to face. In addition, emergent concepts were identified through observation of MDTs in clinical and research practice. Following a classic grounded theory methodology, data collection and analysis occurred simultaneously. A constant comparative approach was adopted and resulted in the immergence of three sub- core categories; moral abdication, moral hinting and pseudo-compliance. Moral abdication seeks to re-position within an event in order to avoid or deflect the initial obligation to act, it is a strategy used to remove or reduce moral ownership. Moral gauging represents the monitoring of an event with the goal of judging the congruence of personal principles and commitments with that of other practitioners. This strategy is enacted in a bid to seek allies for the support of a given moral position. Pseudo-compliance represents behaviour that hides desired principles and commitments in order to shield them from challenge. This strategy portrays agreement with the dominant position within the MDT, whilst holding a contrary position. It seeks to preserve a reservoir of emotional energy required to maintain a sense of personal integrity. Practitioners who were successful in enacting moral shielding were found to not experience significant emotional distress associated with the phenomenon of moral distress; suggesting that these practitioners had found mechanisms to manage situational binds that threatened their sense of personal integrity.

Medical education as moral formation: an Aristotelian account of medical professionalsim.

The medical professionalism movement, bolstered by many influential medical organizations and institutions, has in the last decade produced a number of conceptual definitions of professionalism and a number of concrete proposals for its measurement and teaching. These projects, however laudable, are misguided when they treat professionalism as a unitary descriptive concept rather than as a contested and therefore primarily evaluative one; when they conceive professionalism as a domain of medical practice separable in principle from other domains; and when they treat professionalism as, in principle, a specifiable goal or product of sufficiently well designed educational curricula. The logic of professionalism-as-product corresponds to the logic of techne (art or practical skill) in Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Aristotle provides a cogent argument, however, that the moral excellences denoted by "professionalism" cannot be "produced" or even prespecified in the concrete; rather, they must be acquired through long practice under the careful concrete guidance of teachers who themselves embody these moral excellences. Phronesis (practical wisdom) rather than techne must therefore be the guiding logic of educational initiatives in medical professional formation, with particular emphasis on close mentorship and on the moral character both of students and of those who teach them.

Moral masochism: on the connection between guilt and self-punishment.

Do people sometimes seek to atone for their transgressions by harming themselves physically? The current results suggest that they do. People who wrote about a past guilt-inducing event inflicted more intense electric shocks on themselves than did those who wrote about feeling sad or about a neutral event. Moreover, the stronger the shocks that guilty participants administered to themselves, the more their feelings of guilt were alleviated. We discuss how this method of atonement relates to other methods examined in previous research.

Two Distinct Moral Mechanisms for Ascribing and Denying Intentionality.

Philosophers and legal scholars have long theorized about how intentionality serves as a critical input for morality and culpability, but the emerging field of experimental philosophy has revealed a puzzling asymmetry. People judge actions leading to negative consequences as being more intentional than those leading to positive ones. The implications of this asymmetry remain unclear because there is no consensus regarding the underlying mechanism. Based on converging behavioral and neural evidence, we demonstrate that there is no single underlying mechanism. Instead, two distinct mechanisms together generate the asymmetry. Emotion drives ascriptions of intentionality for negative consequences, while the consideration of statistical norms leads to the denial of intentionality for positive consequences. We employ this novel two-mechanism model to illustrate that morality can paradoxically shape judgments of intentionality. This is consequential for mens rea in legal practice and arguments in moral philosophy pertaining to terror bombing, abortion, and euthanasia among others.

Deducciones del teorema de Pitágoras a lo largo de la historia como recurso didáctico en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la matemática

Las deducciones que a lo largo de la historia se han realizado en torno al teorema de Pitágoras pueden ayudar en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje que realmente necesitan nuestros estudiantes, con el fin de que comprendan los conceptos a través de la reconstrucción de un método, de tal manera que no mecanicen reglas sino mas bien se logre aumentar y relacionar los conceptos adquiridos previamente de tal manera que se logre una mejor comprensión. Usaremos el enfoque histórico como una propuesta metodológica que actué como motivación para el alumno, ya que por medio de ella el estudiante descubrirá como generar los conceptos a través de métodos que aprenderá en clase. Discutiremos los conceptos y propiedades fundamentales de magnitudes, tales como la longitud y el área de figuras geométricas dadas en una y dos dimensiones, repasaremos los conceptos del producto notable del cuadrado de la suma de dos cantidades desde el punto de vista geométrico lo cual nos ayudara a inducir la demostración del teorema de Pitágoras a través de triángulos rectángulos notables e isósceles rectángulos, tomando en consideración el área de los cuadrados que se encuentra en los lados de dichos triángulos. Esto nos ayudara a recalcar la generalización del teorema de Pitágoras a través de figuras regulares. Las deducciones se harán pasando de la rama de la matemática llamada Algebra, conjugándola o dándole soporte con otra que muestra la forma estructural, como lo es la Geometría.

Un imperativo moral: la enseñanza de la estadística no puede dejarse al azar

La conferencia aborda la enseñanza de la estadística, destacando tres modelos específicos del área: la guía GAISE, el ciclo investigativo PPDAC, y el ambiente para el aprendizaje del razonamiento estadístico SRLE. Además, se centra en el desarrollo del pensamiento estadístico según la jerarquía cognitiva de alfabetización estadística, razonamiento y pensamiento estadístico.
