Psychology & Sociology · Mr. Pankow: Self-Identity & Social Interaction

Question

____ is when individuals internalize all negative stereotypes, prejudices, and discriminatory experiences they've had and may begin to feel rejected by society and avoid interacting with society

Answer

Self-stigma is when individuals internalize all negative stereotypes, prejudices, and discriminatory experiences they've had and may begin to feel rejected by society and avoid interacting with society
ex: Someone who has HIV/AIDS and feels the social-stigma may go into denial that they have the condition, experiences hits from self-esteem and suffer from depression (negative mental health), and display behaviours that isolate themselves from society and stop them from taking part in vocation/education/other social activities for example (further isolating them).
