Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Homeostatic Imbalances in Body Temperature

120
Hyperthermia occurs when the body's temperature becomes unusually high, often due to heat exposure, intense physical activity, or certain illnesses. This condition can create a dangerous cycle where elevated body temperature increases the metabolic rate, generating more heat and potentially leading to organ failure and brain damage. A severe form of hyperthermia, called heat stroke, can raise body temperature to life-threatening levels. Fever, on the other hand, is a controlled form of...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

60
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

5.9K
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):

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

12.8K
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...

Methods of reducing fever01:22

Methods of reducing fever

659
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Public Health
  • Social Science

Background:

  • Extreme heat poses significant health risks, necessitating enhanced preparedness strategies.
  • Disseminating knowledge on heat vulnerability is crucial for diverse stakeholders.
  • The unhoused population is particularly vulnerable to extreme heat due to prolonged exposure and limited resources.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the risk perceptions and coping strategies of unhoused individuals regarding extreme heat.
  • To bridge the research gap on health behaviors of the unhoused concerning excessive heat.
  • To apply the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to understand heat avoidance intentions in this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a survey instrument based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB).
  • Collected quantitative survey data from unhoused populations in Columbia, South Carolina.
  • Employed hierarchical multiple regression models to analyze the data.

Main Results:

  • TPB variables were found to predict the intention to avoid heat among unhoused individuals.
  • The study identified common coping strategies employed by the unhoused during heat events.
  • Findings highlight the influence of TPB constructs on heat avoidance behaviors in this vulnerable group.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding risk perceptions and coping mechanisms is vital for tailoring heat interventions for the unhoused.
  • The theory of planned behavior provides a useful framework for studying heat-related health behaviors in underserved populations.
  • Public health practitioners and community officials can utilize these insights to improve direct engagement and support for unhoused individuals during extreme heat.
