Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

41.9K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Regulation of Transpiration by Stomata

30.7K
During photosynthesis, plants acquire the necessary carbon dioxide and release the produced oxygen back into the atmosphere. Openings in the epidermis of plant leaves is the site of this exchange of gasses. A single opening is called a stoma—derived from the Greek word for “mouth.” Stomata open and close in response to a variety of environmental cues.

Radical Reactivity: Steric Effects

2.3K
The presence of electron-donating, electron-withdrawing, or conjugating groups adjacent to a radical center, imparts electronic stabilization to the radicals. Examples of such electronically-stabilized radicals are triphenylmethyl, tetramethylpiperidine‐N‐oxide, and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl. These radicals are remarkably stable and are known as persistent radicals. Some of the persistent radicals can even be isolated and purified.

Source And Potency Of Stem Cells

6.0K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with extensive self-renewal properties that help them maintain their population during the fetal and adult stages of life. They can specialize in all cell types of the human body. However, their differential potential may vary and can be classified into five types. Stem cells can be (1) Totipotent, (2) Pluripotent, (3) Multipotent, (4) Oligopotent, and (5) Unipotent. Each stem cell has a specific origin; the fertilized egg or zygote is a totipotent cell and...

Stem Cell Niche01:26

Stem Cell Niche

6.1K
The stem cell niche is the dynamic microenvironment where stem cells reside. Inside these niches, the cells may remain undifferentiated, undergo high self-renewal, or become lineage-specific progenitors. Stem cells coexist with other niche cells, such as stromal cells. They also interact closely with the ECM. Cell-cell and cell-matrix communication occur via adhesion molecules or soluble factors that signal the stem cells and determine their fate. Stromal cells also provide survival signals to...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

4.1K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Sociology of Mental Health
  • Power Dynamics

Background:

  • Stigma is often used as a resource to control or exclude marginalized groups.
  • Sociological theories highlight how power operates subtly and is often "misrecognized."

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and explore the concept of "stigma power."
  • To examine how stigma processes serve the aims of stigmatizers within mental health contexts.
  • To investigate if stigma coping efforts by individuals with mental illness align with stigmatizers' desired outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of novel self-report measures.
  • Administration of measures to individuals with lived experience of mental illness.
  • Quantitative analysis to test hypotheses related to stigma power.

Main Results:

  • Findings suggest that individuals with mental illness may exhibit attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that align with stigmatizers' goals.
  • Results indicate a potential for internalized stigma to lead to desires of "staying in," "staying away," and feeling "downwardly placed."

Conclusions:

  • The concept of "stigma power" offers a new lens for understanding stigmatizing circumstances.
  • This framework highlights the complex interplay between societal stigma and individual coping mechanisms in mental health.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms and implications of stigma power.
