Bullying

8.4K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.2K
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...

Surveys02:16

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.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

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...

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

26.4K
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.

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

32.0K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Summary

Students with disabilities report higher fear of crime, similar to those with a history of victimization. However, disability does not worsen fear when combined with victimization, suggesting disability is a primary risk factor for feeling unsafe.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Fear of crime is prevalent in the U.S. and disproportionately affects vulnerable populations.
  • Vulnerability and prior victimization can intensify fear of crime.
  • Disability is a characteristic that may influence fear of crime levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between disability, victimization, and fear of crime among college students.
  • To examine how disability and victimization interact to affect perceptions of personal safety in various contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) Spring 2021 survey.
  • Assessed fear of crime in multiple settings: night, day, on campus, and in the community.
  • Employed statistical analysis to determine the impact of disability and victimization on fear of crime.

Main Results:

  • Disability was found to increase the likelihood of feeling unsafe across all assessed contexts.
  • A history of victimization also significantly increased the odds of feeling unsafe.
  • No significant interaction effect was observed between disability and victimization on fear of crime.

Conclusions:

  • Disability is a substantial independent risk factor for increased fear of crime among college students.
  • While victimization also elevates fear, its impact does not further increase fear in students with disabilities.
  • Higher education institutions should leverage accommodation and victim support services to address student safety concerns.
