Aim(s): This paper examined the impact of workplace bullying (WPB) on mild aggressive deviant behaviour, such as knowledge hiding and employee time theft, in Pakistani health care institutions. Additionally, this study investigated the mediating role of negative emotions on the relationship between WPB and its outcomes.
Background: Although mild deviant behaviour has been proven to affect the health care sector, its antecedents are still untapped.
Method: Data were collected from 233 nurses working in hospitals located across Pakistan via self-administered questionnaires in three time lags to test both the direct and indirect effects of WPB. The hypothesized correlations were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM).
Results: The results revealed that WPB increased knowledge hiding and employee time theft amongst nurses. The indirect effect of negative emotions was established on the aforementioned relationships.
Conclusion: This study contributes to the existing literature by concentrating on predictors that trigger deviant behaviour amongst nurses. It also assessed the mediating impact of emotions, wherein such endeavour is essential for researchers and practitioners.
Implications For Nursing Management: The study outcomes are significant for the hospital sector to improve their strategies, such as implementing resilience during stressful events to address WPB and deviant behaviour amongst nurses.

Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by affective-interpersonal features and an impulsive-antisocial lifestyle. Psychopathy commonly co-occurs with other forms of psychopathology, but current understanding of how behavioral features of psychopathy co-occur with, or are distinct from, other mental health problems is limited. In this study, we analysed data from a large sample of young adults to study the relationship between different facets of psychopathic traits and general psychopathology ("p").

Humans live under constant threat from pathogenic microorganisms and minimizing such threat has been a major evolutionary selective force in shaping human behavior and health. A particular adaptive mechanism against the harm caused by parasites and their infectiousness is disgust sensitivity, which has evolved to detect and avoid poisonous foods as well as bodily secretions harboring virulent microorganisms. This ubiquitous and reflexive behavior requires the integration of several internal and external sensory signals between the brain, the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and the gastrointestinal tract.
