She is more than a diva; she is an ideal woman who has the 'it' factor in all walks of life. We all want that 'it' factor, don't we? It is right here in The "O" Factor The "O" in The "O" Factor stands for obaa sima. In this book, you will find the principles that define a modern day multi-tasking obaa sima who plays multiple roles and wears many hats.

Callan I was trained to be a hunter. Growing up in the nation's most infamous, violent cult, my job was simple. Track. Kill. Survive. And that's what I did... until our leader threatened to kill his own daughter. Refusing to watch another senseless murder, I did what I was trained to do. I took his life. Then I claimed his land, and set every member free, including her. I only had one goal left. Find the sister I was told was dead.

This Brief synthesizes findings from recent experiments on jealousy in infants with insights from pioneering thinkers in developmental science. It discusses attachment issues, status of jealousy as an emotion and as a feature of temperament, underpinnings in social cognition, the development of adaptive versus maladaptive presentations, and facets of jealousy that may be part of a normal repertoire of coping strategies. This unique volume also identifies facial, vocal, and bodily responses associated with jealousy as well as situations of differential treatment by caregivers that may bring them about. This knowledge is as useful in studying children's emotional development as it is in addressing jealousy-based challenges in growing families. Among the featured topics: Jealousy in infants, defended and defined.A theory of jealousy as temperament.Sadness, anger, fear, and love.Individual differences and normativity.Child and contextual influences on individual differences.Implications for clinical intervention: preparing for a sibling's arrival.Jealousy in Infants is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students in developmental psychology, infant mental health, and social psychology.
