Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

369
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
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...

Social Exchange Theory

40.8K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

This theory suggests that individuals engage in relationships to gain benefits and reduce burdens, similar to economic transactions. It has been widely applied to various types of relationships, including romantic, professional, and social interactions.Rewards and Costs in RelationshipsRelationship rewards include emotional...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

27.0K
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...

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

459
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Social Policy Analysis
  • Nursing Scholarship

Background:

  • Homelessness disproportionately affects mothers, leading to significant health and social exclusion.
  • Policy analysis in nursing highlights macro-level influences on health, including social determinants and governmental strategies.
  • Ontario's poverty reduction strategy is a key policy impacting vulnerable populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically analyze Ontario's "Realizing Our Potential: Ontario's Poverty Reduction Strategy, 2014-2019" through the lens of mothers experiencing homelessness.
  • To examine the policy's approach to poverty reduction, health, and social exclusion.
  • To identify gaps and limitations in the strategy concerning gender and human rights.

Main Methods:

  • Critical discourse analysis of the "Realizing Our Potential: Ontario's Poverty Reduction Strategy, 2014-2019" policy document.
  • Qualitative analysis focusing on neo-liberal underpinnings and gender-neutral language.
  • Examination of policy structure, including action plans and evaluation metrics.

Main Results:

  • The strategy exhibits neo-liberal characteristics, prioritizing productivity and labor market participation over a human rights-based approach to poverty reduction.
  • Gender-neutral language renders the specific poverty experiences of women and mothers invisible.
  • The policy lacks specific deadlines, target dates, and comprehensive action/evaluation plans, raising questions about governmental commitment.

Conclusions:

  • Ontario's poverty reduction strategy inadequately addresses the needs of mothers experiencing homelessness.
  • The policy's focus and framing obscure critical issues of social exclusion and health.
  • Effective poverty reduction requires a human rights framework and gender-sensitive policies with clear accountability mechanisms.
