From a single punch to weapon use
Public place violence has been linked to nighttime economy settings and intoxicated male strangers but it remains understudied what other types of violence are also found in public. In addressing this gap, we apply latent class analysis to develop an inductive event typology of public place violence based on analysis of 500 police reported public assaults from Copenhagen, Denmark. Five event-types of public violence are identified. In addition to…
Limited Evidence that the Gender Composition of Public Conflicts is Associated with Bystander Intervention
Research suggests that the gender composition of conflict parties influences how bystanders perceive violence, reflecting constructions of masculinity and femininity that promote women’s protection. Relying on CCTV footage of public conflicts in the Netherlands, we ran logistic regression models at the situational level ( N = 66 conflicts) and multilevel models at the individual level ( N = 1,954 bystanders) to examine the relationship between co…
Bystander Intervention in Response to Toxic Behavior in Online Gaming
While a rapidly growing body of studies have observed bystander intervention in offline aggressions, comparatively little is known about bystander intervention in online gaming settings involving toxic encounters. Addressing this research gap, we systematically observe online bystander interventions in an online gaming context. Data were collected from 77 naturally occurring encounters involving toxic behaviors, captured by screen-recordings with…
Staff actions as risk factors for victimization
Staff at residential youth care institutions often encounter conflictual and sometimes dangerous situations while enforcing rules and providing care for adolescents. Although research has explored staff victimization risk factors in this occupational setting, little attention has been paid to the interaction-level factors that may influence this risk. This paper addresses this gap by examining the face-to-face dynamics of staff-adolescent conflic…
Beyond Bodily Co-Presence
Online interactions constitute an ever-larger part of our everyday lives. However, due to its roots in the study of face-to-face encounters, micro-sociology tends to consider online interaction as a weak substitute for its physical counterpart. The aim of this paper is to critically assess and further develop one of the most influential micro-sociological theories: Randall Collins' interaction ritual (IR) theory. To this end, we conducted a quali…
Consolation in the aftermath of violent public assaults
Animal ethologists suggest that non-human primates console victims of aggression in a manner similar to humans. However, the empirical basis for this cross-species comparison is fragile, given that few studies have examined consolation behavior among humans. To address this gap, we revive and apply the underappreciated ethological branch of micro-sociology, which advocates the study of human interactions by applying ethological observation techni…
Deaf Identity, Social Relationships, and Social Support
This study is the first to analyze data from a national survey to investigate the significance for deaf identity of the different forms of social and technological support that deaf people rely upon. Data were derived from a survey among 839 deaf people and were analyzed with regard to social identification as deaf, hearing, bicultural, and marginal. Findings showed connections between technology and identity, including the use of a range of tech…
Human Observers Are Accurate in Judging Personal Relationships in Real-life Settings
One limitation of the naturalistic observation method is that it is understudied how accurately personal relationships may be judged by observers in real-life settings. To assess this judgment accuracy, we observed 285 dyads of individuals in public places and then asked whether they were affiliated or strangers. We found that human observers were very accurate in judging peoples' actual personal relationships. Moreover, several nonverbal cues, i…
Promise Into Practice
Social scientists increasingly use video data, but large-scale analysis of its content is often constrained by scarce manual coding resources. Upscaling may be possible with the application of automated coding procedures, which are being developed in the field of computer vision. Here, we introduce computer vision to social scientists, review the state-of-the-art in relevant subfields, and provide a working example of how computer vision can be a…
How Citizens Stop Riots
The causes of riots have been extensively researched. Comparatively, little is known about how they are prevented from occurring. We address this gap with a qualitative study of the role of formal and informal guardians in Amsterdam in January 2021, when public disorder was widespread across the Netherlands after the government had announced a curfew to curb the spread of the Covid−19 virus. We used CCTV footage of two gatherings that had element…
Does Danger Level Affect Bystander Intervention in Real-Life Conflicts? Evidence From CCTV Footage
In real-life violence, bystanders can take an active role in de-escalating conflict and helping others. Recent meta-analytical evidence of experimental studies suggests that elevated danger levels in conflicts facilitate bystander intervention. However, this finding may lack ecological validity because ethical concerns prohibit exposing participants to potentially harmful situations. Using an ecologically valid method, based on an analysis of 80 …
Impaired Face-to-Face Interaction among Cochlear Implant Users
The technological advance of cochlear implants (CIs) has provided deaf and hearing-impaired persons with new opportunities to acquire hearing and thus partake in social life on more equal terms. However, recent studies have also documented communicative and emotional difficulties for some CI users, in particular concerning how crowded and noisy situations may lead to high mental energy use and communicative constraints on social participation. De…
Would I be Helped? Cross-National CCTV Footage Shows That Intervention Is the Norm in Public Conflicts
Half a century of research on bystander behavior concludes that individuals are less likely to intervene during an emergency when in the presence of others than when alone.By contrast, little is known regarding the aggregated likelihood that at least someone present at an emergency will do something to help.The importance of establishing this aggregated intervention baseline is not only of scholarly interest, but is also the most pressing questio…
Intervention or Involvement
Little is known about how bouncer–patron interactions may influence a bouncer’s use of physical aggression. To address this gap, we offer a micro-interactional analysis examining real-life aggressive bouncer behavior captured by venue surveillance cameras. Quantitative results show that bouncer physical aggression is associated with interactions in which bouncers are directly involved as a conflict party, but not with interactions where they sole…
Exploring the Sources of Collective Effervescence
Collective effervescence is assigned a key role in sociological theorizing on ritual and group processes, yet surprisingly little research has systematically measured the phenomenon and examined its sources. In addressing this research gap, the current article explores and compares several correlates of collective effervescence. The data included questionnaires and geospatial records of spatial setting and movement patterns recorded at a large mu…
Space syntax theory and Durkheim’s social morphology
In outlining their influential architectural theory of space syntax, Hillier and Hanson acknowledge its affinity to Durkheim’s sociological considerations on the spatial-morphological basis of social life. In doing so, space syntax theory promised to address the then woefully under-theorized relationship between society and space, specifically by emphasizing the agency of spatial-morphological arrangements. Given the Durkheimian inspiration, it i…
Social relations and presence of others predict bystander intervention
Are individuals willing to intervene in public violence? Half a century of research on the “bystander effect” suggests that the more bystanders present at an emergency, the less likely each of them is to provide help. However, recent meta‐analytical evidence questions whether this effect generalizes to violent emergencies. Besides the number of bystanders present, an alternative line of research suggests that pre‐existing social relations between…

Stress Response and Cognitive Performance Modulation in Classroom versus Natural Environments
Stress during childhood can have mental and somatic health influences that track throughout life. Previous research attributes stress-reducing effects to natural environments, but has mainly focused on adults and often following leisurely relaxation in natural environments. This pilot study explores the impact of natural environments on stress response during rest and mental load and cognitive performance in 47 children aged 10−12 years in a scho…
Caring collectives and other forms of bystander helping behavior in violent situations
Social science research has traditionally described bystanders in violent emergencies as being passive. Recent evidence, however, stresses that bystanders typically intervene proactively and successfully in violent, dangerous emergencies. This article examines the multiple ways bystanders act in situations of violence, with the aim of moving beyond the understanding of bystanders as being either passive or active. Based on a qualitative analysis …
On the Elementary Neural Forms of Micro‐Interactional Rituals
Randall Collins's interaction ritual ( IR ) theory suggests social solidarity as hardwired in the human neurological capacity for rhythmic entrainment. Yet, this article suggests that IR theory may benefit from being tied more firmly to recent neurobiological research, specifically Stephen W. Porges's polyvagal theory that proposes autonomic nervous system functioning as a basis for emotions and social behavior. In this perspective, IR theory doe…
Fallos og finanskrisen, eller, hvorfor Stein Bagger er en senkapitalistisk Urfader
Med afsæt i Žižeks dialektiske psykoanalyse diskuterer artiklen, hvordan fyrede fag- og ufaglærte arbejdere ideologisk håndterer finanskrisens traumatiske rystelse af deres livssituation som forbrugere. Der peges på, hvordan arbejderne længes efter to potente Fædre, der begge inkarnerer et håb om, at der er en nydelsesmæssig vej ud af krisen: Således fantaserer arbejderne på overraskende vis dels om, at finansmanden Stein Bagger i kraft af sine f…
