Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.7K
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...

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...

Cognitive Dissonance

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...

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

In- and Out-Groups

43.9K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Doctors face an ethical dilemma in Australian immigration detention, where policies inflict psychological harm akin to torture. While complicity is unavoidable, ethical justification exists if harms to asylum seekers are minimized.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Public Health Policy
  • Human Rights Law

Background:

  • Australia's asylum policies inflict severe psychological harm, meeting definitions of torture.
  • This creates an ethical conflict for physicians between non-complicity in torture and providing optimal patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the nature of physician complicity in immigration detention.
  • To discuss the ethical arguments for and against boycotting work in immigration detention.

Main Methods:

  • Ethical analysis of physician obligations.
  • Review of arguments concerning complicity and patient care in detention settings.

Main Results:

  • Physician complicity in harm is unavoidable in immigration detention.
  • Such complicity may be ethically justifiable under specific conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Continuing to work in immigration detention is ethically permissible.
  • Minimizing the harms of complicity through due care is essential for ethical practice.
