Coping with the “Syndrome of Imposed Ethnicity” among Ethnic Russians
Published in Walter J. Lonner, Dale L. Dinnel, Deborah K. Forgays, Susanna A. Hayes, Merging Past, Present, and Future in Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2020
Further, we tried to define which strategies of social perception of behaviour can help to preserve or restore positive ethnic identity. The correlation analysis has revealed a number of socio-psychological mechanisms or coping strategies that may neutralise the syndrome of imposed ethnicity and restore positive ethnic identity and tolerance. Those mechanisms are the formation of positive local ethnic identity, the predominance of personal identity over group identity, increased cultural distance of Russia and Russians, decreased cultural distance to the country of residence, and the creation of local Russian community centers.
Social psychology

It was apparent from this case study that Nigel began to feel guilty and wished he had approached the incident in a different way. Not expressing his views during the team meeting resulted in his losing confidence, which began to affect his day-to-day behaviour at work. The area of self-perception, social perception and self-esteem will be explored, since confidence is required not only in meetings but also when carrying out day-to-day duties with patients.

Social perception is the process by which individuals form impressions of and make inferences about other individuals or social groups. It is one of the components of social cognition. Social perception includes knowledge about social roles, rules, norms, and schemas surrounding social situations and interactions. Social perceptions can obviously be flawed, even skilled observers can misperceive, misjudge, and reach wrong conclusions. Aside from the available information, observers with different moods and temperament can account for a variety of perceptions. The importance of social perception is derived from the fact that people’s impressions and judgments about others, whether accurate or not, can have profound effects on their own and others’ behavior. Social perception is formed through observation, attribution, integration, and confirmation:Observations of available data: the raw data of social perception include the interplay of three sources: persons, situations, and behavior. These sources are used as evidence in supporting a person’s impression or inference about others.Attribution: the process through which people infer the link of events or behaviors and its possible causes (see p. 306).Integration: all available information is incorporated into a unified impression.Confirmation of impressions: individuals form final impressions that are subject to confirmation biases and the threat of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Confirmation is also shaped by an individual’s current motivations, emotions, and cognitive load capacity. Cognitive load is the complete amount of mental effort used in the working memory.
Challenging behaviors among students with severe developmental disabilities in Saudi Arabia: Impact of socio-demographic differences
Published in International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
In order to make plausible social inferences, students must coordinate and integrate information from different, often conflicting, social cues. Since students with MSID have certain deficits in their cognitive processing abilities, they might interpret the same social situation in different ways on different occasions, leading to inappropriate social responses (Balboni et al. 2020; Westling et al. 2021). Strategy generation, as the second key social-cognitive process, could also be challenging for students with ID because it requires the ability to think of different solutions for resolving social problems that fit the immediate situation (Leffert et al. 2000; Westling et al. 2021). Therefore, social perception skills and strategy generation skills are critical to the students’ capacity to respond appropriately to the dynamic social environment of the educational context (Leffert et al. 2000).

A separate program of research [27–29] studied Social Emotional NeuroScience Endocrinology (SENSE) Theatre, a community intervention program using drama. Within this body of work, Corbett et al. [27] reported modest improvements among children with ASD on Memory for Faces and Theory of Mind subtests of the Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment battery of measures [38] but no changes were found on the affect recognition subtest. Further work by Corbett et al. [28,29] extended these findings with larger sample sizes demonstrating significant improvements in face identification, as a memory for faces is important for social bonding. Gains in social/pragmatic communication skills and social perception were also noted. Finally, Becker and Dusing [36] reported improvements in overall quality of life on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory [39] and sub-scales related to physical, social, and school functioning (but not emotional) in a case study of a youth with Down syndrome.
Do patients with high-functioning autism have similar social cognitive deficits as patients with a chronic cause of schizophrenia?

However, in both schizophrenia and ASD, other social cognitive areas are also identified to involve pivotal deficits. In schizophrenia, five distinct social cognitive domains have been specified to be particular affected: (1) ToM, (2) social perception, (3) social knowledge, (4) attributional bias, and (5) emotional processing [7]. Results from a recent meta-analysis revealed that ToM and social perception were the domains most severely affected in schizophrenia [9]. For this reason, we added a complex social perceptual task in order to broaden the comparison of social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and ASD. To our knowledge, no other study has compared these two patients groups regarding social perception, which involves the ability to attend to and interpret the whole combination of complex information from different social phenomena including body language, verbal messages, paralinguistic cues as well as non-verbal behaviors [32]. As such, social perception is a very complex domain concerning the ability to ‘read between the lines’.
