Social Role Theory of sex differences
The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Gender and Sexuality Studies, 2016Co-Authors: Alice H Eagly, Wendy WoodAbstract:Social Role Theory is a Social psychological Theory that pertains to sex differences and similarities in Social behavior. Its key principle is that differences and similarities arise primarily from the distribution of men and women into Social Roles within their society. Through Socialization and the formation of gender Roles, the behaviors of men and women generally support and sustain the division of labor. In industrialized economies, for example, Social Roles are organized so that women are more likely than men to be homemakers and primary caretakers of children and to hold caretaking jobs in the paid economy. In contrast, men are more likely than women to be primary family providers and to assume full-time Roles in the paid economy, often ones that involve physical strength, assertiveness, or leadership skills. Keywords: gender; gender difference; gender analysis; gender division of labor; gender equality

evidence for the Social Role Theory of stereotype content observations of groups Roles shape stereotypes
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2014Co-Authors: Anne M Koenig, Alice H EaglyAbstract:In applying Social Role Theory to account for the content of a wide range of stereotypes, this research tests the proposition that observations of groups' Roles determine stereotype content (Eagly & Wood, 2012). In a novel test of how stereotypes can develop from observations, preliminary research collected participants' beliefs about the occupational Roles (e.g., lawyer, teacher, fast food worker, chief executive officer, store clerk, manager) in which members of Social groups (e.g., Black women, Hispanics, White men, the rich, senior citizens, high school dropouts) are overrepresented relative to their numbers in the general population. These beliefs about groups' typical occupational Roles proved to be generally accurate when evaluated in relation to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Then, correlational studies predicted participants' stereotypes of Social groups from the attributes ascribed to group members' typical occupational Roles (Studies 1a, 1b, and 1c), the behaviors associated with those Roles (Study 2), and the occupational interest profile of the Roles (Study 3). As predicted by Social Role Theory, beliefs about the attributes of groups' typical Roles were strongly related to group stereotypes on both communion and agency/competence. In addition, an experimental study (Study 4) demonstrated that when Social groups were described with changes to their typical Social Roles in the future, their projected stereotypes were more influenced by these future Roles than by their current group stereotypes, thus supporting Social Role Theory's predictions about stereotype change. Discussion considers the implications of these findings for stereotype change and the relation of Social Role Theory to other theories of stereotype content.

Is Traditional Gender Ideology Associated with Sex-Typed Mate Preferences? A Test in Nine Nations
Sex Roles, 2006Co-Authors: Paul W. Eastwick, Alice H Eagly, Peter Glick, Mary C. Johannesen-schmidt, Susan T. Fiske, Ashley M. B. Blum, Thomas Eckes, Patricia Freiburger, Li-li Huang, Maria Lameiras FernándezAbstract:Social Role Theory (Eagly, Wood, & Diekman, 2000) predicts that traditional gender ideology is associated with preferences for qualities in a mate that reflect a conventional homemaker-provider division of labor. This study assessed traditional gender ideology using Glick and Fiske's (1996, 1999) indexes of ambivalent attitudes toward women and men and related these attitudes to the sex-typed mate preferences of men for younger mates with homemaker skills and of women for older mates with breadwinning potential. Results from a nine-nation sample revealed that, to the extent that participants had a traditional gender ideology, they exhibited greater sex-typing of mate preferences. These relations were generally stable across the nine nations.

Incorporating Social Role Theory into Topic Models for Social Media Content Analysis
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 2015Co-Authors: Wayne Xin Zhao, Jinpeng Wang, Jianyun Nie, Ji-rong WenAbstract:In this paper, we explore the idea of Social Role Theory (SRT) and propose a novel regularized topic model which incorporates SRT into the generative process of Social media content. We assume that a user can play multiple Social Roles, and each Social Role serves to fulfil different duties and is associated with a Role-driven distribution over latent topics. In particular, we focus on Social Roles corresponding to the most common Social activities on Social networks. Our model is instantiated on microblogs, i.e., Twitter and community question-answering (cQA), i.e., Yahoo! Answers , where Social Roles on Twitter include “originators” and “propagators”, and Roles on cQA are “askers” and “answerers”. Both explicit and implicit interactions between users are taken into account and modeled as regularization factors. To evaluate the performance of our proposed method, we have conducted extensive experiments on two Twitter datasets and two cQA datasets. Furthermore, we also consider multi-Role modeling for scientific papers where an author’s research expertise area is considered as a Social Role. A novel application of detecting users’ research interests through topical keyword labeling based on the results of our multi-Role model has been presented. The evaluation results have shown the feasibility and effectiveness of our model.

originator or propagator incorporating Social Role Theory into topic models for twitter content analysis
Conference on Information and Knowledge Management, 2013Co-Authors: Xin Wayne Zhao, Jinpeng Wang, Jianyun NieAbstract:A large number of studies have been devoted to modeling the contents and interactions between users on Twitter. In this paper, we propose a method inspired from Social Role Theory (SRT), which assumes that a user behaves differently with different Roles in the generation process of Twitter content. We consider the two most distinctive Social Roles on Twitter: originator and propagator, who respectively posts original messages and retweets or forwards the messages from others. In addition, we also consider Role-specific Social interactions, especially implicit interactions between users who share some common interests. All the above elements are integrated into a novel regularized topic model. We evaluate the proposed method on real Twitter data. The results show that our method is more effective than the existing ones which do not distinguish Social Roles.

Social Role Theory and Social Role Valorization for Care Management Practice.
Care Management Journals, 2015Co-Authors: Thomas J. Blakely, Gregory M. DziadoszAbstract:This article proposes that Social Role Theory (SRT) and Social Role valorization (SRV) be established as organizing theories for care managers. SRT is a recognized sociological Theory that has a distinctive place in care management practice. SRV is an adjunct for SRT that focuses on people who are devalued by being in a negative Social position and supports behavior change and movement to a valued Social position.Keywords: care management; Social Role; valorization; Social positionsSocial Role Theory (SRT) has a long-standing history in the delivery of services to individuals. Social Role valorization (SRV) is a helpful adjunct to SRT. This article proposes that these theories employed together create an integrated package that provides a solid organizing Theory base for care management practice.Care management is an emerging concept that refers to a set of evidence-based, integrated clinical care activities that are tailored to the individual patient, and that ensure each patient has his or her own coordinated plan of care and services. (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, n.d.)It is usually associated with health care but we are broadening its application to coordination of services provided to any individual in a devalued Social position. Our concern is to provide a theoretical structure within which care management considers SRT and Social valorization Theory as organizing concepts for service delivery. Care management is not the same as case management. The latter is defined by the Case Management Society of America as ". . . a collaborative process of assessment, planning, care coordination, evaluation, and advocacy for options and services to meet an individual's and family's comprehensive health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality, costeffective outcomes" (2014). However, what is suggested here could apply to case management as well.Social Role TheoryA brief history of SRT will illuminate its relationship to care management practice.Thomas and Biddle (1966, p. 3) wrote that the beginning of consideration of Social Roles was related to Roles in the theater. The performance of behavior in those Roles followed a script that was generally understood by the audience. Similarly, members of a culture or society come to know the expected Social Role behaviors of Social positions through Socialization, the context of an individual's Social experience. People come to know devalued Social positions in the same way.SRT came into prominence in the 1930s. Linton (1936) coined the terms ascribed and achieved regarding Roles. He also wrote about the distinction between status, or position, and Role. Status is position, whereas Role is the behavior. George Herbert Mead (1934), who created symbolic interactionism, thought of Roles as strategies for coping with interpersonal relationships and as requirements for effective Social interaction. Talcott Parsons (1951) proposed that Social position, or status, is part of the Social system and Roles are behaviors in that system. These three authors provided the substance of SRT as it may be used by care managers."As we have seen, the Social Role concept seems to be well embedded in Social science theorizing" (Lemay, 1999, p. 225). "Role concepts are not the lingua franca of the behavioral sciences, but perhaps they presently come closer to this universal language than any other vocabulary of behavioral science" (Thomas & Biddle, 1966, p. 8).Role Theory concerns one of the most important features of Social life, characteristic behavior patterns, or Roles. It explains Roles by presuming that persons are members of Social position and hold expectations for their own behaviors and those of other persons. (Biddle, 1986, p. 67)This applies whether the Social position is valued or devalued. "Social Role Theory has engendered a great deal of theoretical work and seems to be of prime importance in explaining human behavior from the individual up and the Social structure down" (Lemay, 1999, p. …

Combining Social Role Theory, Social Role Valorization Theory, and Task-Centered Treatment for the Rehabilitation of Persons With Serious Psychiatric Conditions
Care Management Journals, 2014Co-Authors: Thomas J. Blakely, Gregory M. DziadoszAbstract:This article presents a clinical paradigm for the delivery of rehabilitation services, meaning that whatever mental health problems clients experience are not a major factor in how they live their life. It consists of assessment, treatment, and Social support of clients who have a serious psychiatric condition. It combines Social Role Theory (SRT), Social Role valorization (SRV), and task-centered treatment (TCT). It emphasizes behavior change by a client with help from a Social worker to move from nonnormative behaviors and a devalued Social position associated with a psychiatric condition to the achievement of normative behaviors in a valued Social position. Normative behavior is that behavior acceptable to observers. SRT and SRV are used for assessment of adaptation and Social functioning. TCT is used for the achievement of treatment goals.Keywords: Social Role Theory; Social Role valorization Theory; task-centered treatment; mental health rehabilitation servicesThis article presents a clinical paradigm that is practical and useful for professionals who provide rehabilitation services to persons who have a serious psychiatric condition, particularly bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia. These services consist of assessment, treatment, and Social support that lead to rehabilitation or recovery, which we define as managing the psychiatric condition so it is no longer a major factor in a client's life.The rehabilitation of a person with a serious psychiatric condition may be achieved through assessment and intervention using Social Role Theory (Biddle, 1986) and Social Role valorization (Osborn, 2006) in combination with task-centered treatment (Kanter, 1983). This is one way that clinicians can help these persons increase adaptation and level of Social functioning-the elements of SRT. We are defining adaptation as successful management of instincts, impulses, desires and needs, and successful management of external relationships. Social functioning is defined as normative behavior in Social situations.Social Role Theory AND Social Role VALORIZATIONConcepts of Social Role Theory (SRT) are Social position and Social Role behaviors (Biddle, 1986). Everyone has Social positions such father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter, mechanic, banker, farmer, physician, lawyer, mental health clinician, and so forth. Each Social position has accompanying directly related Social Role behaviors. Except for rare or unusual Social positions, people know the generally associated Role behaviors of each position through Socialization. Certain behaviors are expected when we observe someone acting in a given Social position. These are what we call normative behaviors. Achieving normative behavior and a valued Social position are the major goals of our paradigm.Thomas and Biddle (1966) described the beginning of SRT as related to Roles in the theatre. Social position or status and Social Role behaviors were clarified by Linton (1956). Herbert Mead (1934) described Roles as ways of coping. Parsons (1951) viewed position as part of the Social system and Roles as behaviors in the system. SRT has been employed by Social workers for many years (Strean, 1967). Lemay (1999) expressed the view that Social Role concepts are significant in the Social sciences.The culture has defined the Social position of "patient with mental disorder" for persons who have a serious psychiatric condition. Social workers may use SRT in assessing their psychoSocial adaptation and Social functioning and help them make behavior changes consonant with seeking a normative and valued Social position. Then the psychiatric illness, although chronic, will not be a major factor in a person's life-a condition that we call recovery.Blakely and Dziadosz (2007) described the successful use of SRT at a mental health agency serving more than 2,000 clients who had a serious psychiatric disorder. Conversation with this agency staffconfirmed the continued use of SRT as a major treatment concept. …

Combining evidence-based practices for improved behavioral outcomes: a demonstration project.
Community Mental Health Journal, 2012Co-Authors: Thomas J. Blakely, Gregory M. Dziadosz, Susan Bruggink, Margaret RoseAbstract:This article describes a demonstration project carried out by a special team at a mental health agency serving adults with a serious psychiatric condition. The project consisted of combining the evidence-based practices of cognitive therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Stages of Change with Social Role Theory and the Chronic Care Model that were the organizing concepts of the agency’s assessment and treatment program. Measures of the results of clients’ improved mental health and Social functioning indicated the successful use of this combination.

Case management and Social Role Theory as partners in service delivery.
Care Management Journals, 2008Co-Authors: Thomas J. Blakely, Gregory M. DziadoszAbstract:This article proposes a reorganized model of case management for persons with a serious psychiatric illness, including a substance abuse disorder. The model was designed as a response to the changing demands of federal laws public funding sources, and Social work licensure requirements in some states. It partners case management with Social Role Theory and uses the person-in-situation paradigm and Social functioning as organizing concepts. This model may be helpful for those adult mental health agencies serving this population who are faced with making adjustments to changing demands of federal law, public funding sources, and the requirements of Social work licensure in some states, all of which place restrictions on service delivery. An important feature of the model is partnering case management with Social Role Theory in a way that enhances the delivery of case management services. It is being implemented at Touchstone innovare, a mental health agency serving adults who have a serious psychiatric condition or a co-occurring disorder.

Social Functioning: A Sociological Common Base for Social Work Practice
Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare, 2007Co-Authors: Thomas J. Blakely, Gregory M. DziadoszAbstract:This article describes the experience of a Social work mental health agency with Social Role Theory (SRT), that is an organizing concept for the delivery of its assessment and treatment program. SRT has been called the process variable of the program, meaning how services are delivered. Social functioning, a concept taken from SRT, is a treatment outcome. The overall purposes of the article are to describe the contribution of sociology to Social work practice, and to advance the argument that Social functioning is a common base for Social work practice generally.
