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.

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.6K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

23.2K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Stages of Infection01:26

Stages of Infection

58.9K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

35.4K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

40.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Digital Media Studies
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Content creators (CCs) experience unique occupational hazards, including psychosocial and ergonomic risks.
  • Prolonged work hours, sedentary behavior, public scrutiny, and job insecurity contribute to health issues.
  • Continuous connectivity and unpredictable tasks exacerbate risks for CCs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review identifying potential pathological processes affecting social media content creators.
  • To synthesize existing literature on the health impacts experienced by CCs.

Main Methods:

  • Scoping review of literature from seven major bibliographic databases.
  • Search terms: "Content Creator" and "Pathologic Processes" (May 2024).
  • Quality assessment using STROBE, evidence level via Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, and bias evaluation with ROBINS-E.

Main Results:

  • Six studies were selected from 1522 references, involving diverse CC roles (influencers, bloggers, YouTubers, live streamers).
  • Reported health impacts included burnout, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic pain, and unspecified mental health issues.
  • Mental health was the most frequently affected area across reviewed studies.

Conclusions:

  • Mental health is significantly impacted among content creators.
  • There is a critical need to identify specific risk factors contributing to pathological processes in CCs.
  • Further investigation is required to develop preventative strategies for identified health issues.
