Incivility is a Virus
February 8, 2022
Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.

Sixteen years later an article from NBC news described the effects of ever-growing rudeness in American society: “‘Incivility is a virus,’ Christine Porath, PhD, Associate Professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University and author of Mastering Civility: A Manifesto for the Workplace, says. ‘You touch it and unfortunately we often don’t realize we pass it on to others.’ Porath’s research shows that when people experience more rudeness, they are less motivated, they actually cut back on the amount of effort they put into a certain task, and they are far more likely to leave an organization compared with organizations where there is less rudeness.” Meg Thomas, in an Out of the Box Training, “Teasing and Bullying and Being Left Out,” explains that unfortunately rude behavior is also happening more among young children: “Teasing, bullying, and being excluded from friendship groups aren’t childhood traumas soon recovered from …teasing and bullying can have serious consequences for children and they need our help to learn how to handle them effectively.” |

I am not sure why we need this new research! Badura's Bo-Bo doll research in 1961 made this point very clearly! I know in today's world there is a tendency to forget or even ignore past theories and research - often under the guise of equity - but this is a huge mistake.
