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.

Fundamental Attribution Error

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

84
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Bystander Effect

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.

Robbers Cave

14.3K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Criminology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Disability affects approximately 15% of the global population.
  • Latin America, particularly Peru, faces significant challenges with violence and crime.
  • Understanding crime victimization among vulnerable populations is crucial for public safety initiatives.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the association between disability status and robbery victimization in Peru.
  • To analyze data from the National Specialized Victimization Survey (ENEVIC) 2017.
  • To identify specific demographic and socioeconomic factors influencing this association.

Summary:

  • A cross-sectional study analyzed 32,199 Peruvian adults from the 2017 ENEVIC.
  • Individuals with disabilities were 24% less likely to experience robbery victimization (PR=0.76; 95%CI: 0.61-0.95) after adjusting for confounders.
  • This protective association was significant only among women, older adults, and those in high socioeconomic strata.

Impact:

  • The findings suggest that disability status alone does not uniformly reduce robbery risk in Peru.
  • Targeted crime prevention strategies may be needed for specific subgroups of people with disabilities.
  • Further research should explore the nuanced factors contributing to differing victimization rates across diverse populations.
