Obedience

33.0K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Stereotype Content Model

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...

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Sociology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Existing research on procedural justice in prisons primarily uses quantitative methods and focuses on male populations.
  • Few studies have examined prisoners' perceptions of prison officers through the lens of procedural justice theory.
  • The specific procedural justice perceptions of women in prison regarding correctional officers remain largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To qualitatively explore how incarcerated women in an American prison perceive the role model prison officer.
  • To determine if these perceptions align with the established tenets of procedural justice theory.
  • To extend the understanding of procedural justice within the female correctional context.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative research approach.
  • In-depth exploration of perceptions from a sample of women incarcerated in an American prison.
  • Focus on the "role model" prison officer concept.

Main Results:

  • Women's perceptions of the model prison officer align with procedural justice principles.
  • Identified specific aspects of officer conduct that contribute to perceptions of procedural justice.
  • Highlighted the significance of fair and respectful interactions in the female prison environment.

Conclusions:

  • Correctional officers play a crucial role in shaping procedural justice perceptions among incarcerated women.
  • There is a need for correctional officers to develop and implement strategies that enhance procedural justice in their interactions with women.
  • Findings underscore the value of procedural justice in improving the prison experience for women and potentially influencing institutional outcomes.
