Resistance01:19

Resistance

6.2K
When a current moves through any conductor, the conductor causes some level of difficulty for the current to flow. The measure of that difficulty is known as the resistance of the material and is represented by R. Every material has its own resistance. In the case of conductors, heat is emitted whenever a current passes through them. Resistance depends on the resistivity of the material. Resistivity is a characteristic of the material used to fabricate electrical components, whereas the...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

355
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Robbers Cave

14.9K
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...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

203
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Unrealistic Optimism Bias01:30

Unrealistic Optimism Bias

276
Unrealistic optimism bias is the tendency to overestimate the likelihood of positive outcomes. This cognitive bias makes individuals believe they are less likely to experience failures, setbacks, or risks and more likely to succeed than others. For example, people may assume they are less prone to health issues, accidents, or financial struggles than their peers, even when they share similar risk factors.One key component of this bias is the above-average effect, where individuals perceive...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.3K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Middle Eastern Studies

Background:

  • The concept of resilience is widely applied in various fields, including disaster response and public health.
  • Its application to specific populations requires careful consideration of context and potential biases.
  • Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territory face unique socio-political and environmental challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critique the general concept of resilience.
  • To analyze the applicability of resilience frameworks to Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt).
  • To identify limitations and potential biases in applying generalized resilience models.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of general resilience concepts.
  • Critical analysis of resilience literature in the context of the oPt.
  • Examination of socio-political and humanitarian factors affecting Palestinian resilience.

Main Results:

  • General resilience concepts may not adequately capture the complexities of Palestinian lived experiences.
  • Existing frameworks can overlook structural impediments and external factors influencing resilience.
  • The application of resilience requires nuanced understanding of political and historical contexts.

Conclusions:

  • Resilience frameworks need contextual adaptation for marginalized and occupied populations.
  • Critically evaluating the origins and application of resilience concepts is crucial.
  • Further research should explore context-specific resilience indicators for Palestinians.
