Attitudes01:54

Attitudes

29.7K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy01:24

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

112
Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert...

Regression Toward the Mean01:52

Regression Toward the Mean

6.5K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.9K
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...

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

2.8K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Ethical Dilemmas I01:17

Ethical Dilemmas I

1.1K
Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study introduces Abortion Tolerance, a new way to understand attitudes toward abortion. It reveals a complex view where abortion is seen as undesirable yet necessary, highlighting a maternal-fetal prioritization dilemma.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Existing research often categorizes abortion attitudes as simple support or opposition.
  • There is a need for nuanced understanding of complex public perceptions regarding abortion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and define the construct of Abortion Tolerance.
  • To explore how U.S. adults conceptualize abortion and articulate their attitudes.
  • To examine the tension between maternal and fetal prioritization in abortion attitudes.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews with 170 U.S. adults.
  • Analysis of descriptions, conceptualizations, and articulated attitudes toward abortion.

Main Results:

  • Abortion Tolerance is conceptualized as accepting, allowing, or enduring abortion in theory and/or practice.

  • Participants expressed tension, viewing abortion as undesirable (ending a life) yet necessary (for the pregnant person).
  • Attitudes manifested as a preference for parenting/adoption, a desire for abortion prevention/regulation, and opposition to government involvement.

    • Conclusions:

    • Abortion attitudes are complex, involving a dilemma between maternal and fetal prioritization.
    • A continuum of Abortion Tolerance offers a more effective framework than simple support or opposition.
    • Understanding this tolerance is crucial for developing nuanced public health and policy approaches to abortion.
