Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

30.1K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.2K
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...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.6K
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...

In- and Out-Groups

42.8K
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.

Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

11.9K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Grief Studies

Background:

  • Research on disenfranchised grief has increased, validating socially ignored bereavement experiences.
  • Disenfranchised grief involves loss that is not openly acknowledged or socially supported.
  • This field aims to 'enfranchise' these experiences, bringing them into public and academic discourse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe the phenomenon of 'disenfranchisement by association' experienced by researchers in the field of disenfranchised grief.
  • To draw parallels between the social disenfranchisement of bereaved individuals and the academic disenfranchisement of researchers studying this topic.
  • To propose strategies for addressing this form of academic disenfranchisement.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis based on the authors' personal experiences as researchers in disenfranchised grief.
  • Identification of parallel pathways in the disenfranchisement process for both bereaved individuals and researchers.
  • Exploration of three key expressions of disenfranchisement: reluctance to listen, shame/guilt infliction, and demand for euphemism.

Main Results:

  • Researchers in disenfranchised grief may experience 'disenfranchisement by association' within the academic sphere.
  • This academic disenfranchisement manifests similarly to the social disenfranchisement of bereaved individuals.
  • Key manifestations include reluctance from the academic community to engage with the topic, imposition of shame or guilt, and pressure to use euphemistic language.

Conclusions:

  • The study highlights a paradoxical situation where those studying disenfranchised grief can themselves become disenfranchised.
  • Recognizing and addressing 'disenfranchisement by association' is crucial for the advancement of grief research and support.
  • Strategies are needed to validate the work of researchers in this sensitive and often stigmatized field.
