Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

77.8K
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...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

2.0K
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

13.1K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Dissociative Identity Disorder01:30

Dissociative Identity Disorder

2.4K
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously termed multiple personality disorder, is a complex psychological condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states. Each identity exhibits unique patterns of behavior, voice, and mannerisms and may possess separate memories and emotional responses. The alternating control between identities can result in memory gaps and challenges in recalling daily activities, often exacerbating the individual's...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

28.1K
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...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

29.1K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Summary

Psychomotor agitation and distractibility are key symptoms of mixed states in mood disorders. These features were more prevalent in patients with mixed depression and bipolar spectrum disorder compared to unipolar depression and bipolar I disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Mood Disorders
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) specifier 'mixed features' may lack specificity by overlooking psychomotor agitation and distractibility.
  • These symptoms are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of mood disorder presentations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of psychomotor agitation and distractibility across the mood disorder spectrum.
  • To determine if these symptoms differentiate between various mood disorder classifications.

Main Methods:

  • Two hundred patients were clinically evaluated and categorized into depression, bipolar spectrum disorder (BDspectrum), and bipolar disorder groups.
  • The depression group was further divided into unipolar depression (UP) and mixed depression (UPmix) based on MDQ scores.
  • Psychomotor agitation and distractibility were assessed using clinical evaluation and questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Increased distraction, racing thoughts, and irritability were common manic symptoms in the unipolar depression group.
  • Mixed depression (UPmix) and bipolar spectrum disorder (BDspectrum) groups exhibited significantly higher levels of psychomotor agitation and distractibility.
  • These findings suggest a distinct pattern of symptoms in mixed states.

Conclusions:

  • Distractibility and psychomotor agitation may be core features of mixed mood states.
  • These symptoms are more common in mixed depression and bipolar spectrum disorder than in unipolar depression or bipolar I disorder.
  • Further research is needed to validate these findings with standardized measures and explore pure unipolar patients.
