Deindividuation

28.0K
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.

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

1.1K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Scholarly Communication
  • Research Ethics

Background:

  • Post-publication peer review (PPPR) complements traditional peer review by allowing for ongoing critique after publication.
  • PPPR often involves comments from individuals who are anonymous or pseudonymous, raising questions about their acknowledgement.
  • Existing literature, such as Trotter's work, has not fully addressed the ethical implications of citing these unverified entities.

Discussion:

  • This discussion examines the ethical complexities of citing or acknowledging anonymous or pseudonymous entities within PPPR.
  • It highlights how such practices may conflict with established ethical guidelines from bodies like COPE and ICMJE.
  • The fundamental principles of PPPR are explored in relation to the anonymity of contributors.

Key Insights:

  • Acknowledging anonymous or pseudonymous contributors in PPPR poses significant ethical challenges.
  • Adherence to COPE and ICMJE guidelines presents a strong argument against citing unverified identities.
  • The lack of clear regulations creates ambiguity in current scholarly publishing practices.

Outlook:

  • There is a pressing need for the development of clear publishing ethics guidelines concerning the acknowledgement of anonymous or pseudonymous entities.
  • This work serves as a catalyst for policymakers and academics to debate and establish new standards.
  • Future policies should aim to balance transparency, accountability, and the integrity of the scholarly record.
