Obedience01:08

Obedience

32.9K
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,...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

87
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

59
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...

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.

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

9.6K
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.

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.0K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health Psychology
  • Risk Perception Research
  • Behavioral Safety Studies

Background:

  • Young workers face significant workplace injury risks.
  • Subjective invulnerability, a sense of indestructibility, is a proposed factor influencing young workers' hazard responses.
  • Existing theories suggest invulnerability may reduce fear and hinder safety voice, but this remains untested.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between subjective invulnerability, fear of injury, and safety voice among young workers.
  • To test a moderated mediation model where invulnerability influences how hazard perceptions and fear of injury impact safety voice.
  • To examine these dynamics in two distinct studies involving young workers.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted: an online experiment (N=114) and a three-wave field study (N=80) with young workers.
  • Participants' perceptions of physical hazards, subjective invulnerability, fear of injury, and safety voice intentions were assessed.
  • A moderated mediation model was statistically analyzed to understand the interplay of these variables.

Main Results:

  • Contrary to predictions, higher subjective invulnerability was associated with increased safety voice when fear of injury was high.
  • The relationship between hazard perceptions and safety voice was mediated by fear of injury, particularly for those with higher invulnerability.
  • Subjective invulnerability did not silence safety voice; instead, it appeared to amplify the effect of fear on safety voice.

Conclusions:

  • Subjective invulnerability may not inhibit safety voice as previously theorized.
  • Fear of injury, in conjunction with a sense of invulnerability, can potentially enhance safety voice among young workers.
  • These findings suggest a nuanced understanding of invulnerability's role in workplace safety behaviors is needed.
