Deinstitutionalization is the process of replacing long-stay psychiatric hospitals with less isolated community mental health service for those diagnosed with a mental disorder or developmental disability.
Deinstitutionalization can have multiple definitions; the first focuses on reducing the population size of mental institutions. This can be accomplished by releasing individuals from institutions, shortening the length of stays, and reducing both admissions and readmission. Privacy Policy. Skip to main content. Search for:.

Key Takeaways Key Points Socialization prepares people to participate in a social group by teaching them its norms and expectations.
Socialization has three primary goals: teaching impulse control and developing a conscience, preparing people to perform certain social roles, and cultivating shared sources of meaning and value. Socialization is culturally specific, but this does not mean certain cultures are better or worse than others. Jeffrey J. Nature vs. Learning Objectives Discuss both sides of the nature versus nurture debate, understanding the implications of each. Key Takeaways Key Points Nature refers to innate qualities like human nature or genetics.
Nurture refers to care given to children by parents or, more broadly, to environmental influences such as media and marketing. The nature versus nurture debate raises philosophical questions about determinism and free will. Key Terms nurture : The environmental influences that contribute to the development of an individual; see also nature. What something will tend by its own constitution, to be or do.
Distinct from what might be expected or intended. Sociobiology Sociobiology examines and explains social behavior based on biological evolution. Learning Objectives Discuss the concept of sociobiology in relation to natural selection and Charles Darwin, as well as genetics and instinctive behaviors. Key Takeaways Key Points Sociobiologists believe that human behavior, like nonhuman animal behavior, can be partly explained as the outcome of natural selection.
Sociobiologists are interested in instinctive, or intuitive behavior, and in explaining the similarities, rather than the differences, between cultures.
Deprivation and Development Social deprivation, or prevention from culturally normal interaction with society, affects mental health and impairs child development. Learning Objectives Explain why social deprivation is problematic for a person especially children and the issues it can lead to. Key Takeaways Key Points As they develop, humans go through several critical periods, or windows of time during which they need to experience particular environmental stimuli in order to develop properly.
Attachment theory argues that infants must develop stable, on-going relationships with at least one adult caregiver in order to form a basis for successful development. The term maternal deprivation is a catch phrase summarizing the early work of psychiatrist and psychoanalyst John Bowlby on the effects of separating infants and young children from their mother.
Key Terms feral children : A feral child is a human child who has lived isolated from human contact from a very young age, and has no experience of human care, loving or social behavior, and, crucially, of human language. Attachment Theory : Attachment theory describes the dynamics of long-term relationships between humans. Its most important tenet is that an infant needs to develop a relationship with at least one primary caregiver for social and emotional development to occur normally.
Social deprivation : In instances of social deprivation, particularly for children, social experiences tend to be less varied and development may be delayed or hindered. Learning Objectives Interpret why social isolation can be problematic for a person in society and the importance of social connections.
Key Takeaways Key Points True social isolation is not the same as loneliness. Emotional isolation is a term used to describe a state of isolation where the individual is emotionally isolated, but may have a well functioning social network. Social networks promote good health by providing direct support, encouraging healthy behaviors, and linking people with diffuse social networks that facilitate access to a wide range of resources supportive of health. Sociologists debate whether new technologies, such as the Internet and mobile phones, exacerbate social isolation or encourage it.
A widely-held hypothesis is that social ties link people with diffuse social networks that facilitate access to a wide range of resources supportive of health. In , researchers in Austria found that participants reported lower moods after using Facebook for 20 minutes compared to those who just browsed the internet. The study suggested that people felt that way because they saw it as a waste of time. A good or bad mood may also spread between people on social media, according to researchers from the University of California , who assessed the emotional content of over a billion status updates from more than million Facebook users between and The better news is that happy posts had a stronger influence; each one inspired 1.
Whether a happy post translates to a genuine boost in mood, however, remains unclear. Researchers have looked at general anxiety provoked by social media, characterised by feelings of restlessness and worry, and trouble sleeping and concentrating.

Two studies involving more than students found that depressive symptoms, such as low mood and feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness, were linked to the quality of online interactions.
Researchers found higher levels of depressive symptoms among those who reported having more negative interactions. A similar study conducted in involving 1, people found a threefold risk of depression and anxiety among people who used the most social media platforms. However, as BBC Future will explore this month in our LikeMinded season, scientists are also looking at how social media can be used to diagnose depression, which could help people receive treatment earlier.
Researchers for Microsoft surveyed people and analysed their Twitter profiles for depressive language, linguistic style, engagement and emotion. From this, they developed a classifier that can accurately predict depression before it causes symptoms in seven out of 10 cases. Last year, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh asked 1, to year-olds about their social media and sleeping habits. They found a link with sleep disturbances — and concluded blue light had a part to play.
