Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.5K
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...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

69
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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.8K
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...

In- and Out-Groups

39.2K
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.

Relationship Formation

40.3K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Types of Selection01:46

Types of Selection

41.1K
Natural selection influences the frequencies of particular alleles and phenotypes within populations in several different ways. Primarily, natural selection can be directional, stabilizing, or disruptive. Directional selection favors one extreme trait and shifts the population towards that phenotype while selecting against individuals displaying alternate traits. Stabilizing selection favors an intermediate trait with a narrow range of variation. Deviation from the optimal phenotype towards an...

Summary

Despite medical depathologization, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals face global inequality, discrimination, and stigma impacting their mental health. Achieving true acceptance requires ongoing medical, social, and political destigmatization efforts and non-discriminatory laws.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Sociology
  • Psychiatry
  • Human Rights

Background:

  • Formal depathologization of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities occurred in DSM (1973) and ICD (1991).
  • Global legal and social contexts for LGBT individuals range from equality to severe discrimination and persecution.
  • Despite depathologization, persistent stigma affects LGBT mental health, with some regions experiencing re-pathologization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the historical medical-social discourse surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity.
  • To examine factors enabling depathologization and challenges to its sustained effect.
  • To highlight the impact of stigma on LGBT mental health and present therapeutic guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • Historical overview of medical-social discourse.
  • Analysis of scientific and societal advances.
  • Review of empirical models explaining mental illness risk in LGBT populations.

Main Results:

  • Depathologization is challenged by persistent stigma and societal re-pathologization in some areas.
  • Stigma significantly increases mental illness risk among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.
  • Effective psychotherapeutic treatment models and guidelines exist.

Conclusions:

  • Medical, social, and political destigmatization are crucial for LGBT mental health.
  • Non-discriminatory legislation is essential alongside medical guidelines.
  • The precarious global situation of sexual minorities necessitates continued advocacy for equality and acceptance.
