Identity Processes in Face-to-Face and Digitally Mediated Environments
In this study, we investigate how identity prominence influences individuals to use face-to-face or digitally mediated settings when communicating with significant others, and whether emotional reactions to nonverifying feedback regarding an identity vary depending upon the prominence of the identity and interaction setting. Results show that the more prominent an identity, the more likely individuals are to communicate with significant others re…
Self‐Esteem, the Fear of Crime, and the Decision to Protect Oneself From Victimization
This research extends prior work that examines self‐esteem as an outcome of protective behaviors against crime victimization by focusing instead on the moderating influence of self‐esteem on the relationship between the fear of crime and the decision to protect oneself from victimization. The fear of crime is conceptualized as two separate components (fear of victimization and perceived risk) in accordance with prior work. Self‐esteem is conceptu…
Self-Esteem, Reflected Appraisals, and Self-Views
This research extends prior work by integrating self-esteem into the identity theory model. I focus on understanding the processes by which self-esteem acts as a moderator of feedback from others about the self. Differences in the moderating effect of self-esteem due to the relationship of the individual to the person who is the source of feedback about the self are also considered. The criminal identity and the worker identity are studied using …
Does Incarceration Change the Criminal Identity? A Synthesis of Labeling and Identity Theory Perspectives on Identity Change
This study uses an identity theory framework to fill in gaps left by labeling theory in the explanation of criminal behavior resulting from one's identity. The authors examine the reciprocal relationship between the views of significant others, peers, and guards at the jail, and self-views for changes in the criminal identity, the drug user identity, and the worker identity using an incarcerated population. The findings suggest that identity theo…
Familiarity, Legitimation, and Frequency
From an identity theory perspective, reflected appraisals from others are relevant for social behavior, because behavior is motivated by the desire to achieve congruence between reflected appraisals and the self-view for a particular identity. This study extends prior identity theory work from the laboratory setting by examining identity processes with respect to the criminal identity in the unique 'natural' setting of a total institution. The fi…
Consistency and Enhancement Processes in Understanding Emotions
Many theories in the sociology of emotions assume that emotions emerge from the cognitive consistency principle. Congruence among cognitions produces good feelings whereas incongruence produces bad feelings. A work situation is simulated in which managers give feedback to workers that is consistent or inconsistent with what the workers expect to get from their performance. Workers' emotional reactions are then obtained. The power and status of th…
