Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

26.5K
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.

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.

Factorial Design02:01

Factorial Design

13.1K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Urban Studies
  • Environmental Criminology

Background:

  • Commerce significantly influences urban crime, encompassing both environmental and social dimensions.
  • Understanding commerce's role is crucial for developing effective crime prevention strategies.
  • Existing theories on commerce and crime are predominantly Western-centric.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose research hypotheses on the impact of commercial factors on urban theft.
  • To optimize statistical tools for analyzing commerce's influence on theft levels in Beijing.
  • To test the applicability of Western theories in a non-Western urban context.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a mixed-methods approach combining criminal verdicts, census data, points of interest, and nighttime lighting data.
  • Applied hierarchical regression analysis to assess the explanatory power of commercial factors on theft statistics.
  • Employed structural equation modeling to analyze the combined influence of multiple commercial factors.

Main Results:

  • Beijing's commerce was found not to significantly promote theft.
  • The study confirmed the effectiveness of commercial environmental and social variables in explaining theft.
  • Western theories on commerce's impact on theft were validated within the Beijing context.

Conclusions:

  • Commerce does not directly correlate with increased theft in Beijing.
  • Commercial factors, both environmental and social, are relevant for understanding urban crime patterns globally.
  • Provides empirical evidence for non-Western contexts in the study of crime causation.
