FROM IDENTITY TO IDENTIFYING – TOOLS FOR DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION IN THE MATHEMAT...

July 2013

Einat Heyd-Metzuyanim

This report describes a new method for analysing the ways that students' mathematical identities are constructed in class. Its uniqueness is in tending to the emotional and social aspects of learning, as well as the cognitive ones, using a single, unified set of conceptual tools. These tools are an extension of the tools offered by the communicational (commognitive) theory proposed by Sfard ... [Show full abstract] (2008) and are thus tailored specifically for the analysis of mathematical learning. The main conceptual division is made between mathematizing (talking about mathematical objects) and subjectifying (talking about the participants of the discourse). This division forms the basis of an operational set of discursive categorizations for "identifying" activity, enabling the extraction of identity narratives from spontaneous interactions in class.

Individualism and Collectivism: In Search of a Product or Process?

March 2003

Realo (2003) argues that Estonian society in public discourse is construed differently compared to the way it is in academic discourse. We suggest that such discrepancies arise because of the processes of social categorization, and also because scholars have focused more on universal attributes of individualism/collectivism (I/C) than on cultural processes. Our comments also draw attention to ... [Show full abstract] several theoretical and methodological problems associated with I/C.

‘Unexpected’ and ‘Inclusive’ Social Identities in Intractable Conflict: The Case of Northern Ireland

January 2012

In situations of intractable political conflict (e.g., in Israel–Palestine or the Basque region) social identification is of pivotal importance (e.g., Bar-Tal, 2007; Coleman, 2003; Kelman, 1999). The identities that underlie such conflicts are typically presented as oppositional (e.g., Arab and Jew or Basque and Spanish) and negatively interdependent (Kelman, 1999). However, even in situations of ... [Show full abstract] violent inter-group conflict and highly pervasive social divisions, other identities and categories coexist and the literature can be criticized for overemphasizing unitary social categorizations.

Host Country National Willingness to Help Expatriates: The Role of Social Categorization and Exchang...

January 1970

Using data from 493 host country nationals in the United Kingdom, we investigated relationships between expatriate gender, national origin, and job level and HCN willingness to help expatriates. First, HCNs from the U.K. tended to categorize expatriates as in-group or out-group members based on perceived values similarity, ethnocentrism, and collectivism. Next, this categorization was ... [Show full abstract] significantly related to HCN willingness to provide role information and social support to expatriates. Lastly, we found that HCNs were more likely to provide role-related information to subordinates and co-workers than supervisors, and were more likely to provide social support to male co-workers regardless of their nationality (i.e., U.S. vs. India).

Categorization and Social Norms Support

January 2008

Social Norms proliferate in societies as a mechanism for self-organization. This kind of norms are not enforced by a central authority and the individuals of the society are those responsible for their generation and maintenance. The maintenance process is what is known as norm support and is supported by several mechanisms like for example laws, social proof, dominance, etc. We believe that ... [Show full abstract] agent based simulation is a suitable technique for investigating this topic. In this paper we present an overview of the work we have been developing in this area. The 'Find and Share (and Exchange)' game is introduced as the environment where to prove our hyphotheses on social norms. After that, we present an initial categorization on the possible social norms in our environment. Finally, some mechanisms are studied to observe its effectiveness solving the norm suport problem.

Physical Androgyny and Categorization Difficulty Shape Political Conservatives’ Attitudes Toward Tra...

June 2017 · Social Psychological and Personality Science

Researchers have recently begun to examine how categorization processes impact social evaluations. In two studies, we examined how sex categorization influences attitudes toward transgender individuals. We found that people evaluated transgender individuals more negatively if they possessed physically androgynous (vs. sex-typical) characteristics because they struggled to identify their sex. ... [Show full abstract] These relationships were stronger among political conservatives compared to individuals with more liberal political views. These findings provide new insights for research on attitudes toward gender minorities and for the role of political ideology in social judgments.

October 2023 · Journal of Gaming & Virtual Worlds

Organizing games by categories based on playstyle (e.g. single-player vs. multiplayer) makes sense from a marketing perspective, but when it comes to organizing players into such categories, things get tricky. To illustrate that categorizing players based on preferences for single-player vs. multiplayer games may be problematic, we analysed millions of posts in Reddit for single-player and ... [Show full abstract] multiplayer games to see which players use more extroversion (pro-social) words, citing research suggesting that those who prefer multiplayer games should use more extroversion words. We found no noticeable differences between the two groups, although unexpectedly single-player gamers did use more extroversion words in a statistically significant manner. Ultimately, we offer caution that categorization of games and gamers – although useful at times – can oversimplify assumed preferences and, when not critically examined, may lead to the reification of misleading and exclusionary categories of both games and the people who play them.
