Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

10.1K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

26.2K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Desensitization and Tachyphylaxis

2.9K
Tachyphylaxis is described as a rapid decrease in response to a drug after repeated or continuous administration of the same drug dose. It is a phenomenon where the body becomes less responsive to a particular substance or intervention over time, requiring higher doses or stronger interventions to achieve the same effect. It results from adaptive changes in the body's receptors, signaling pathways, or physiological processes that occur in response to prolonged exposure to a stimulus.

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.7K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Summary

Increased U.S. border enforcement, driven by moral panic, militarized the border. This policy shift transformed circular migration into settled families across the U.S.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Political Science
  • Criminology

Background:

  • U.S. immigration control strategies have historically focused on border enforcement.
  • A perceived threat from Latino immigration fueled a moral panic, influencing policy.
  • Self-interested actors promoted border enforcement for political and material gains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically analyze why U.S. border enforcement strategies have backfired.
  • To examine the theoretical underpinnings of border enforcement as a policy response.
  • To investigate the impact of border militarization on unauthorized migration patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of policy emergence and motivations.
  • Instrumental variable approach to assess causal effects.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of border outcomes and migrant behavior.

    • Main Results:

    • Border enforcement created a self-perpetuating cycle of increased apprehensions.
    • Militarization of the border became disconnected from the actual undocumented flow.
    • Border militarization shifted undocumented Mexican migration from circular to settled family patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Border enforcement, as implemented, proved counterproductive to immigration control.
    • The policy transformed migration dynamics, leading to a larger, more dispersed undocumented population.
    • The study highlights the unintended consequences of policies driven by moral panic and political opportunism.
