STIGMĂ, UN CONCEPT DE BAZĂ ÎN PSIHOLOGIA SOCIALĂ
STIGMA, A BASIC CONCEPT IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY

Summary/Abstract: After the early development of the concept by Erving Goffman, psychologicaland social research took into account how the stigma works at the micro level, restricting the wellbeing of stigmatized individuals. More recently, sociologists have considered the macro-leveldimensions of stigma, illuminating its structural causes, population-level consequences, andcollective responses. This research has identified how stigma reproduces social inequality bymaintaining group hierarchies. Future research should reduce levels of analysis, compare the causesand consequences at the micro and macro levels of stigmatization between different social groupsand identify conditions that promote destigmatization
