Social Traps

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...

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

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 Exchange Theory

Social Exchange Theory

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).

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Social Facilitation

Social Facilitation

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.

Area of Science:

Occupational therapy and science
Social determinants of health
Transformative learning

Background:

Occupational therapy is increasingly called upon to address socio-political factors contributing to occupational injustices.
Traditional frameworks may be insufficient for achieving social transformative goals in practice.
Diverse epistemological and methodological approaches are needed to support this social agenda.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel methodological approach for occupational therapy and science.
To extend existing frameworks for practice with marginalized populations.
To support the development of practices addressing occupational injustices.

Main Methods:

Describes the epistemological and theoretical foundations of the approach, drawing on Freire and Bakhtin.
Utilizes dialogical interviews and critical reflexivity for co-generating data.
Integrates practical experience from an example study.

Main Results:

Highlights the advantages of co-generating data through dialogical interviews and critical reflexivity.
Demonstrates a practical application of the critical dialogical approach.
Identifies key considerations for implementing this methodology.

Conclusions:

A critical dialogical approach facilitates collaborative knowledge generation in occupational therapy and science.
This approach encourages the examination of underlying assumptions influencing individual and collective actions.
It offers a pathway to expand scholarship and promote social change within the field.
