Group Polarization01:01

Group Polarization

35.4K
Group polarization is the strengthening of an original group attitude following the discussion of views within a group (Teger & Pruitt, 1967). That is, if a group initially favors a viewpoint, after discussion the group consensus is likely a stronger endorsement of the viewpoint. Conversely, if the group was initially opposed to a viewpoint, group discussion would likely lead to stronger opposition.

Robbers Cave

14.4K
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...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

91.4K
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...

Radical Formation: Elimination00:51

Radical Formation: Elimination

1.9K
Another method of radical formation is the elimination process. It is the opposite of the addition route and is driven by the instability of the radical. For example, as depicted in Figure 1, dibenzoyl peroxide yields a pair of unstable radicals upon homolysis. Given its instability, this radical spontaneously undergoes elimination via a C–C bond cleavage to form a relatively more stable phenyl radical. The mechanism involves cleavage of the bond between the α and β positions...

Sympathetic Activation01:16

Sympathetic Activation

5.7K
The sympathetic division can influence tissues and organs by releasing norepinephrine at peripheral synapses and distributing epinephrine and norepinephrine through the bloodstream. In times of crisis or stress, sympathetic activation occurs, which is regulated by sympathetic centers in the hypothalamus. As a result, sympathetic activation prepares the body for physical exertion, rapid ATP production, and heightened alertness, allowing individuals to respond effectively to challenging or...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Criminology
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Racial extremism involves complex social and psychological dynamics.
  • Understanding the lived experiences of former extremist group members is crucial for addressing radicalization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze how embodied practices of violence and sexuality function within extremist white supremacist groups.
  • To investigate the role of gender in these embodied practices.
  • To understand how embodiment enables or disables extremist actors and groups.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with 47 former members of U.S. extremist white supremacist groups.
  • Examination of narratives detailing physical markers, violence, and sexual practices.
  • Focus on gendered experiences within extremist contexts.

Main Results:

  • Embodiment of racist violence makes extremism a visceral aspect of adherents' lives.
  • Gendered differences observed in how men and women experience and utilize violence.
  • Embodiment of racist sexuality is an iterative process, leading to women's victimization but also offering some women access and influence.

Conclusions:

  • Embodied practices of violence and sexuality are central to the functioning and perpetuation of racial extremism.
  • Gender is a critical dimension in understanding the embodiment of extremist ideologies and practices.
  • The findings offer insights into the mechanisms of radicalization and the experiences of individuals within extremist movements.
