The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison02:57

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...
Role-Based Identity01:21

Role-Based Identity

Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...
Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...
Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

College students with disabilities showed fewer autonomy-related thoughts when their disability identity was activated. Stigma consciousness amplified this effect, impacting help-seeking behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • People with disabilities face widespread stigma.
  • Psychological responses to prejudice are understudied.
  • Identity salience influences self-perception and behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how college students with disabilities react to identity priming.
  • To investigate the moderating role of stigma consciousness.
  • To understand the link between autonomy-related thoughts and help-seeking.

Main Methods:

  • 116 college students with disabilities participated.
  • Participants were primed with either their disability or student identity.
  • Measures included autonomy-related thoughts, help-seeking, and stigma consciousness.

Main Results:

  • Disability identity priming reduced autonomy-related thoughts compared to student identity priming.
  • Stigma consciousness moderated the effect of identity priming.
  • Increased autonomy-related thoughts correlated with decreased help-seeking.

Conclusions:

  • Identity salience and stigma consciousness influence autonomy-related thought accessibility for people with disabilities.
  • Findings have implications for understanding self-perception and support-seeking in this population.
  • Contextual identity activation plays a key role in psychological responses to disability.
