Bullying

8.6K
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...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

92.6K
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...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Survey Safety

220
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

40.1K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Transgender individuals experience higher rates of violence compared to cisgender people.
  • Polyvictimization, or experiencing multiple forms of violence, exacerbates health risks.
  • Identifying at-risk transgender subgroups is crucial for effective violence prevention and intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze sociodemographic predictors of polyvictimization among transgender adults.
  • To identify specific transgender subgroups at increased risk for experiencing multiple forms of violence.
  • To inform the development of tailored violence prevention and intervention models for the transgender community.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary data analysis of the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey (N=27,715).
  • Multiple variable regressions were used to examine predictors of five distinct violence types and polyvictimization.
  • Sociodemographic factors included gender, sexual orientation, race-ethnicity, income, disability, and more.

Main Results:

  • More marginalized transgender individuals reported higher rates of polyvictimization.
  • Specific sociodemographic factors were significantly associated with increased risk of experiencing multiple violence types.
  • Results indicate a clear link between marginalization and heightened vulnerability to violence.

Conclusions:

  • Findings underscore the urgent need for interventions addressing the unique vulnerabilities of marginalized transgender populations.
  • Future research should focus on developing and evaluating transgender-specific violence prevention and support services.
  • Service provision must be informed by an understanding of the intersecting risks faced by diverse transgender individuals.
