Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

93.3K
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...

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...

Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

Aging

398
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Area of Science:

  • Internet Studies
  • Gerontology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Over a decade of action research involved older adults (80+) and proxy users exploring internet-based creative writing.
  • The research aimed to identify methods for stimulating creativity and sharing wisdom among older internet users.
  • Focus on socio-technological solutions in Central and Eastern Europe for digital inclusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate patterns for enhancing older adults' creativity and wisdom sharing online.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of "silver digital content" created by seniors.
  • To develop hypotheses for future research on older users and next-generation internet technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Action research with two elderly creative web users (80+) and younger proxy users over 10+ years.
  • Analysis of qualitative participant insights and quantitative blog visit statistics.
  • Assessment of the social significance of created digital content.

Main Results:

  • High effectiveness in transferring wisdom through "silver digital content."
  • Identified patterns of emerging technologies that enhance older adults' web creativity.
  • Demonstrated social significance and engagement with content created by seniors.

Conclusions:

  • Technology can effectively facilitate creative expression and wisdom sharing for older adults.
  • Future research should explore optimizing non-human assistants and the role of voice technology for content production.
  • Investigating conditions for technology to substitute for human proxies is crucial for preventing exclusion.
