The Stanford Prison Experiment03:20

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.
Bullying02:04

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
Bystander Effect02:09

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.
Flashbulb Memory01:16

Flashbulb Memory

A flashbulb memory is a highly vivid and detailed memory, often linked to events of significant emotional impact. These memories stand out in contrast to everyday memories due to their clarity and the precision with which they are recalled. The strong emotions associated with the event act as a catalyst, ensuring that specific details, such as one's location, actions, and even peripheral elements, are etched into memory with remarkable accuracy. For example, many people can vividly recall where...
Traumatic Memory01:20

Traumatic Memory

Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual remembers mundane...
Repressed Memory01:16

Repressed Memory

Repressed memories are a psychological phenomenon where memories of traumatic events are unconsciously blocked from a person's awareness. This process occurs as a defense mechanism, protecting the mind from the emotional impact of distressing or painful experiences. For example, a person who has experienced childhood trauma may grow up with no conscious recollection of the event. In such cases, the memories are thought to be buried deep within the subconscious, inaccessible to the conscious...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Psychology
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • The #MeToo movement gained significant attention in 2017, highlighting sexual violence.
  • Research indicates #MeToo benefits survivors, yet a perceived backlash is frequently discussed.
  • Understanding social backlash is crucial for analyzing movement dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically catalogue types of perceived #MeToo backlash among survivors.
  • To identify and organize different forms of backlash reported by survivors.
  • To provide a foundation for future research on survivor experiences of backlash.

Main Methods:

  • An inductive thematic analysis was employed.
  • 324 survivor responses to an open-ended survey question were coded.
  • Codes were organized into four overarching themes.

Main Results:

  • Nine distinct codes describing backlash were identified.
  • Four major themes emerged: Denial of Rape Severity/Reality, Threats to Power Structures, Repercussions of Disclosure/Activism, and Dissatisfaction with #MeToo.
  • Survivors reported backlash occurring at multiple social ecological levels.

Conclusions:

  • This study categorizes perceived #MeToo backlash from a survivor perspective.
  • The findings offer a framework for understanding the multifaceted nature of backlash.
  • Further research should explore survivors' direct experiences and the impact of backlash on their lives.
