Deindividuation

Deindividuation

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.

Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously termed multiple personality disorder, is a complex psychological condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states. Each identity exhibits unique patterns of behavior, voice, and mannerisms and may possess separate memories and emotional responses. The alternating control between identities can result in memory gaps and challenges in recalling daily activities, often exacerbating the individual's...

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status

James Marcia's identity status model provides a framework for understanding how adolescents navigate identity formation through varying degrees of exploration and commitment. Marcia's model builds on Erik Erikson's theories of psychosocial development, focusing specifically on how adolescents reconcile individual aspirations with societal expectations. His model describes identity formation as a dynamic process where adolescents move between different states depending on their level...

Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.

Bullying

Bullying

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...

Area of Science:

Criminology
Sociology
Forensic Psychology

Background:

Domestic violence laws and protective orders aim to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV).
A potential, unexplored factor in IPV reduction is offenders shifting to other abusive behaviors.
Intangible identity theft, distinct from financial identity theft, is motivated by grievances and reputational harm.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate whether intangible identity theft serves as a new form of intimate partner abuse.
To explore the relationship between intangible identity theft rates and intimate partner crime victimization.
To understand the potential for low offender consequences in intangible identity theft cases.

Main Methods:

Multilevel analysis was employed to examine the data.
The study analyzed the correlation between city-level intangible identity theft rates and intimate partner crime victimization.

Main Results:

In cities with higher rates of intangible identity theft, women had a lower probability of being victims of intimate partner crime.
This suggests a potential displacement of traditional intimate partner violence (IPV) with intangible identity theft.

Conclusions:

Intangible identity theft may represent a form of intimate partner abuse with minimal repercussions for perpetrators.
Offenders of intangible identity theft are infrequently arrested or prosecuted, contributing to low adverse consequences.
Further research is necessary to validate these preliminary findings and their broader implications.
