coping resource and the anomia of unmarried rural male migrant workers in the context of gender imbalance
Population and Development, 2012Co-Authors: L I WeidongAbstract:Based on the theory of strain-coping,this paper constructs the analysis framework of anomia among unmarried rural male migrant workers in the context of China’s gender imbalance,and on that basis studies how coping resource influence anomia among unmarried rural male migrant workers in the context of losing marriage risk.The results show that coping resource have the direct benefit to the anomia of unmarried rural male migrant workers which independent of marry difficult;some of the coping resource have the indirect influence on the anomia of unmarried man,the coping resource would affect the anomia of unmarried rural male migrant workers through influence theirs’ perception of marry difficult.Moreover,this paper also find that taking part in hometown association would enhance the Odds Ratio of marry difficult perception,which challenge the main stream viewpoint of stree-buffering model,indicate that coping resource have duality influence on the anomia of unmarried rural male migrant workers.

Anomie or imitation the werther effect of celebrity suicides on suicide rates in 34 oecd countries 1960 2014
Social Science & Medicine, 2020Co-Authors: Mark Lutte, Karlij Roe, Daria TischAbstract:Anomie and imitation have been prominent mechanisms explaining the Werther effect, i.e., the effect of celebrity suicides on a general population's suicide rate. This study presents a new approach to empirically disentangle both mechanisms. Imitation theory suggests that celebrities act as role models, and that the Werther effect is triggered by the status of the celebrity in question. Anomie theory, on the other hand, suggests that the Werther effect is triggered by the unexpectedness of the event. To this end, we empirically compare the effects of celebrity suicides with the effects of celebrities who died unexpectedly from causes other than suicide (accidents, illnesses, alcohol abuse). Based on language and page-link data from 3,855 Wikipedia pages of 495 celebrities who committed suicide between 1960 and 2014, we measure the status a celebrity has in a particular country and calculate the potential country-specific imitation effect of their suicide. In the same manner, we measure status effects of celebrities who died unexpectedly from accidents, illnesses, or alcohol abuse to reflect Anomie-related effects. We use these measures in a time-series cross-sectional dataset for 34 OECD countries to assess their effects on a country's overall annual suicide rate. Fixed-effects analyses reveal that country-specific status effects of celebrity suicides lead to significant increases in overall suicide rates, while Anomie-related, unexpected celebrity deaths show no effects. The findings remain robust across a number of alternative specifications, such as controlling for further anomic factors at the macro level (divorce or unemployment rate, for instance). We conclude that the results support the imitation mechanism as an essential social explanation for the Werther effect.

towards a psychological analysis of Anomie
Political Psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Ali Teymoori, Ock Astia, Jolanda JetteAbstract:Anomie, as defined by sociologists, refers to a state of society characterized by deregulation and erosion of moral values. In the present conceptual analysis, we bring the concept of Anomie under a social psychological spotlight. We explore the conditions under which Anomie arises and develop a model outlining various responses to Anomie. We define Anomie as a shared perception of the state of society and propose that two conditions must be met for Anomie to emerge. First, a society's social fabric must be perceived to be breaking down (i.e., lack of trust and erosion of moral standards). Second, a society's leadership must be perceived to be breaking down (i.e., lack of legitimacy and effectiveness of leadership). We highlight two key responses of individuals to an anomic situation: a contraction of the personal self and a contraction of the social self. We discuss how a psychology of Anomie can inform and advance broader theorizing on group processes.

revisiting the measurement of Anomie
PLOS ONE, 2016Co-Authors: Ali Teymoori, Ock Astia, Jolanda Jette, Amarina Ariyanto, Frederique Auti, Nadia Ayub, Constantina Adea, Tomasz Esta, Fabrizio Utera, Rui CostalopesAbstract:Sociologists coined the term "Anomie" to describe societies that are characterized by disintegration and deregulation. Extending beyond conceptualizations of Anomie that conflate the measurements of Anomie as 'a state of society' and as a 'state of mind', we disentangle these conceptualizations and develop an analysis and measure of this phenomenon focusing on Anomie as a perception of the 'state of society'. We propose that Anomie encompasses two dimensions: a perceived breakdown in social fabric (i.e., disintegration as lack of trust and erosion of moral standards) and a perceived breakdown in leadership (i.e., deregulation as lack of legitimacy and effectiveness of leadership). Across six studies we present evidence for the validity of the new measure, the Perception of Anomie Scale (PAS). Studies 1a and 1b provide evidence for the proposed factor structure and internal consistency of PAS. Studies 2a-c provide evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. Finally, assessing PAS in 28 countries, we show that PAS correlates with national indicators of societal functioning and that PAS predicts national identification and well-being (Studies 3a & 3b). The broader implications of the Anomie construct for the study of group processes are discussed.

the effect of parent and peer attachment on suicidality the mediation effect of self control and Anomie
Community Mental Health Journal, 2015Co-Authors: Arash Heydari, Ali Teymoori, Hedaya NasiriAbstract:We explore the influence of psycho-social factors including the attachment to parent and peer, self-control, and Anomie on suicidality. Research questionnaires were distributed among 336 students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz in Iran. The results demonstrated that mother and peer attachments had an indirect effect on suicidality via self-control and Anomie, and self-control had a direct effect on suicidality and an indirect effect via Anomie. Self-control and Anomie had the most efficient role in the model with a large effect size. Findings are discussed theoretically and with regards to the socio-cultural sphere of Iranian society.

influential factors on ethnocentrism the effect of socioeconomic status Anomie and authoritarianism
Social Science Information, 2014Co-Authors: Arash Heydari, Ali Teymoori, E F Haghish, Ehrang MohamadiAbstract:This study examines the relation of dimensions of ethnocentrism with socio-structural factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), feelings of Anomie, and authoritarianism. Using clustered sampling, 500 students were selected from ten high schools in Ahvaz, Iran. Results of structural equation modeling showed that SES has a direct positive effect on ethnocentrism and an indirect effect through Anomie and authoritarianism. Similarly, Anomie mediates the effect of SES on authoritarianism. Anomie was found to have an indirect effect on dimensions of ethnocentrism via authoritarianism. Findings confirmed the proposed conceptual path model, which is consistent with findings from other countries. The influence of feelings of Anomie in the model is highlighted since it has a very important effect on dimensions of ethnocentrism.

development of suicidality within socioeconomic context mediation effect of parental control and Anomie
Omega-journal of Death and Dying, 2014Co-Authors: Arash Heydari, Ali Teymoori, Hedaya NasiriAbstract:Despite some scientific research on suicide as one of the most serious social and mental health problems in Iran, there is still lack of research on the effective structural and socio-familial factors contributing to the issue in Iran. The purpose of this study is to investigate some of the effective variables conditioning suicidality while also establishing a synthetic model. Three hundred-fifty university students (165 males, 185 females) were randomly chosen from Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz, Iran. The participants were asked to complete a package of self-report questionnaires including subjective socioeconomic status (SES), feeling of Anomie, perceived parental control, and suicidality. The results show that all correlations among variables are significant. For testing the theoretical model, results of standardized regression coefficients suggest that SES has direct effect on suicidality and indirect effect via Anomie and parental control. In addition, parental control has direct effects on suicidality and indirect effect via Anomie as well. The findings confirm the expected paths hypothesized among variables which are consistent with the theories of Durkheim, Merton, Kohn, and Agnew. It implies that the development of suicidality takes place within socioeconomic context through the influence of parental control and feeling of Anomie.
