Deindividuation

31.3K
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.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Person perception is influenced by both external behaviors and the observer’s internal characteristics, including personality traits. Individuals with dark personality traits, comprising psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism — collectively known as the dark triad – exhibit manipulative and exploitative tendencies in social contexts. These traits affect how they perceive others and how they are perceived.The Role of Dark Personality Traits in Person PerceptionBlack et...

Cross-Sectional Research

13.0K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Risky behaviors are common among young people.
  • Understanding the factors influencing these behaviors is crucial for prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the influence of risk perception, attractiveness, and motives on risky behaviors in Lebanese university students.
  • To assess the relationship between these factors and substance use (smoking, alcohol) and mental distress.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study utilizing a proportionate cluster sample of university students in Lebanon.
  • Validated scales assessed risk perception, attractiveness of risky behaviors, motives for risk-taking, smoking, alcohol consumption, and mental distress.

Main Results:

  • Lower risk perception correlated with reduced risk-taking, while higher attractiveness of risky behaviors predicted increased risk-taking.
  • Motives varied; women reporting goal achievement motives showed less risk-taking.
  • Risk perception and attractiveness significantly influenced substance use and mental distress.

Conclusions:

  • Risk perception and attractiveness are key drivers of risky behaviors in university students.
  • Goal achievement motives, particularly in women, are associated with reduced risk-taking.
  • Health education programs tailored to address these factors can improve awareness and reduce risky behaviors among students.
