Social Proof00:52

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Social Scripts

10.3K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

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

441
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...

Social Facilitation

36.6K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

39.7K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • Health inequities are perpetuated by social and environmental factors like food insecurity and poor housing.
  • Effective interventions are needed to address these complex issues within the US health care system.
  • Medical-legal partnerships (MLPs) integrate legal aid into healthcare settings to tackle social problems impacting health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe different models of medical-legal partnerships adopted by healthcare organizations.
  • To determine the shared core infrastructure elements across various MLP models.
  • To explore key considerations for the sustainability and scalability of MLPs as health equity interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of national survey data from healthcare organizations.
  • Inclusion of field research findings.
  • Identification of distinct MLP operational models and shared infrastructure components.

Main Results:

  • Three distinct models of medical-legal partnerships have been adopted by over 300 health care organizations.
  • Common core infrastructure elements support the functioning of these partnerships.
  • Financial investment and organizational commitment are crucial for MLP success.

Conclusions:

  • Medical-legal partnerships are a viable intervention for addressing social determinants of health and reducing health disparities.
  • Understanding MLP models and infrastructure is key to their effective implementation and expansion.
  • Sustained financing and commitment from healthcare organizations are essential for scaling MLPs to promote health equity.
