This document discusses the ME/WE balance and the need for uniqueness. It describes research by Howard Fromkin and C.R. Snyder in the 1970s that found most people desire to feel special compared to others. They proposed that people evaluate their perceived similarity to others on an identity schema for uniqueness. Studies found those with a higher need for uniqueness had higher self-esteem and less anxiety, and tended to write their names larger or have more unusual names. The document also discusses how attitudes, beliefs, and performances can be used as uniqueness attributes. Finally, it notes that while Americans are individualistic, they are not necessarily lower in collectivism than other cultures.

Personal online reputations: Managing what you can’t controlFrances Ryan
This talk for the 5th annual Discover Academic Research, Training, and Support (DARTS) conference discusses the role of online information in the building, management, and evaluation of personal reputation. It considers the existing literature surrounding reputation and social media use, as well as some early findings from Frances’ information science doctoral investigation on the same topics. A short interactive element encourages participants to think about their own social media use, online information behaviours, and digital footprints—as well as some practical advice on managing a reputation that you can’t fully control.

Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own
Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments
Justin Kruger and David Dunning
Cornell University
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The
authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these
domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make
unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across 4
studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and
logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the
12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration
to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically,
improving the skills of participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them
recognize the limitations of their abilities.
It is one of the essential features of such incompetence that the person
so afflicted is incapable of knowing that he is incompetent. To have
such knowledge would already be to remedy a good portion of the
offense_ (~1iller. 1993. p. 4)

Abstract:
The article discusses the benefits of diversity in organizations. The author notes that research has shown social diversity in a group can cause discomfort, a lack of trust, and lower communication, adding that research has also shown that socially diverse groups are more innovative than homogeneous groups. Topics include the concept of informational diversity, the impact of racial diversity on small decision-making groups, and how diversity promotes hard work, diligence, and creativity.

THE STATE OF THE WORLD'S SCIENCE 2014
THE FIRST THING to acknowledge about diversity is that it can be difficult. In the U.S., where the dialogue of inclusion is relatively advanced, even the mention of the word "diversity" can lead to anxiety and conflict. Supreme Court justices disagree on the virtues of diversity and the means for achieving it. Corporations spend billions of dollars to attract and manage diversity both internally and externally, yet they still face discrimination lawsuits, and the leadership ranks of the business world remain predominantly white and male. It is reasonable to ask what good diversity does us. Diversity of expertise confers benefits that are obvious -- you would not think of building a new car without engineers, designers and quality-control experts -- but what about social diversity? What good comes from diversity of race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation? Research has shown that social diversity in a group can cause discomfort, rougher interactions, a lack of trust, greater perceived interpersonal conflict, lower communication, less cohesion, more concern about disrespect, and other problems. So what is the upside?
The fact is that if you want to build teams or organizations capable of innovating, you need diversity. Diversity enhances creativity. It encourages the search for novel information and perspectives, leading to better decision making and problem solving. Diversity can improve the bottom line of companies and lead to unfettered discoveries and breakthrough innova ...

Sexual Priming, Physical Attractiveness, and the Media: An Analysis
Imagine watching the news and seeing a picture of a man with a ski mask and knife in hand. What words that come to mind with regard to this mental image? Might the man to be a murderer? Do words like “scary,” “frightening,” and “dangerous” arise unbidden? Media outlets like the news, movies, and T.V. shows off paint the image of a serial killer as one with a ski mask and knife. People have been primed to make these associations to then respond accordingly, perhaps in fear, shock, or caution. Priming is when a stimulus, in the form of a cue, triggers a reaction in our cognition and releases as set of subsequent behavior (White, Danek, Herring, Taylor, & Crites, 2018). According to Alhabash, McAlister, Wonkyung, Lou, Cunningham, Quilliam, and Richards (2017), priming makes it so that, after a participant is exposed to a cue, they respond to the following stimulus with the information related to and triggered by the cue to then make decisions. Now, if the cues were sexually-implicit, would it provoke a pattern of similarly sexual thoughts and concepts? What, then, are the effects of sexually-primed advertisements on an individual’s judgment of character?
Alhabash et al. (2017) reported that there are about a billion people who use social networking sites like Facebook daily. As a result, marketers, particularly those in the alcohol business, are making the switch and investing more of their resources into advertising on social media, where it is both cost-effective and less-restrictive. The authors found that alcoholic ads promoted drinking behavior in those who were already predisposed to drinking at a moderate to high level. In this case, exposure to the ads served as catalysts t ...

CHAPTER 8
Qualitative Methods
It was not the detachment, the distance, or the objectivity, we believed, that made a research project
great, it was the involvement, the closeness, and the subjectivity. We never heard anyone praise an
ethnography by saying, “Wow, you really kept your distance from the participants.” Rather, research
generated credibility by the closeness of researchers to their respondents and by how well they
captured the essence of the lives and perspectives of the people they studied.
—Adler and Adler, 2012, p. 18
Selecting a qualitative research team: Research team members may be selected based on commitment
to the research process, counseling skills, and cultural competence, including respect for the
dimensions of African cultural values. . . . Counseling skills equip team members with the ability to
self-reflect, build rapport, and otherwise respectfully interact with participants.

4. The pursuit of individualistic goals to produce a sense
of specialness has been termed the need for
uniqueness
In the 1970s, researchers Howard
Fromkin and C. R. Snyder (see Snyder & Fromkin,
1977, 1980) embarked on a program of research based
on the premise that most people have some desire to
be special relative to other
5. An identity dimension is defined as "a set of person
attributes which have a common core of meaning“
Snyder and Fromkin (1980) proposed that people
think about their perceived similarity to others and
use a dimension (in their minds) on which they
evaluate how correct any given feedback seems about
their degree of similarity to other people (technically,
this is encoded on a uniqueness identity schema

varying degrees eof similarity to other peopl

People who score higher on the Need for Uniqueness
Scale also have higher self esteem and less anxiety,

11. Commodities as Uniqueness Attributes
Names as Uniqueness Attributes
Those with higher scores in need for uniqueness wrote
their names larger (i.e., area of signature as measured by
length by height, controlling for the number ofletters in
the names).
In a similar study, Zweigenhaft gave the Need for
Uniqueness Scale to a large number of female college
students and then found that those with higher
scores also had names that were statistically unusual.
12. Attitudes and Beliefs as Uniqueness Attributes
Performances as Uniqueness Attributes
individualistic normal competition
individualistic successful differentiation
individualistic deviance
13. In the watershed review on this topic, Oyserman and
colleagues (2002) found that Americans indeed were
high in individualism, but they were not necessarily
lower than others in collectivism
Inter country regional differernces
Generational differences
Furthermore, a seemingly individualistic propensity in
actuality may contribute to collectivism; for example,
consider the fact that a robust personal sense of efficacy
may contribute to the collective efficacy of a society
