Abstract

The stigma concept has been tremendously successful one. Before Goffman's influential book only a handful of papers used the term in the abstract or title of a paper—in 2020 there were 3464. While the reason for stigma's dramatic growth is likely over determined two possibilities are suggested. The first is the usefulness that the concept carries for understanding the shame, social awkwardness, rejection, misunderstanding, and exclusion that people frequently experience across so many stigmatizing circumstances. The second is that the complexity of the stigma experience provides an enormous number of research puzzles in need of investigation as there are so many different stigmatizing circumstances that are affected at multiple levels across multiple outcomes. The current special issue addresses this complexity by focusing on the particularly important domain of social relationships but at the same allows complexity in the types of stigmatizing circumstances considered and the levels at which they are investigated. In what might be a model for the stigma field as it faces its tremendous growth, Doyle and Barreto (2023) use the multiple contributions to the special issue to develop thematic questions that will guide future research into stigma and social relationships.

论耻感概念的历史与发展:对耻感研究中社会关系定位的思考
病耻感的概念非常成功。在戈夫曼这本有影响力的书之前,只有少数论文在论文摘要或标题中使用了这个词——到2020年,有3464篇论文使用了这个词。虽然病耻感急剧增长的原因可能是过度确定的,但提出了两种可能性。首先,这个概念对于理解人们经常经历的耻辱、社交尴尬、拒绝、误解和排斥是有用的。第二,污名化经历的复杂性提供了大量需要调查的研究难题,因为有很多不同的污名化情况在多个层面上受到多种结果的影响。当前的特刊通过关注社会关系这一特别重要的领域来解决这一复杂性,但同时也允许所考虑的污名化情况类型和调查程度的复杂性。Doyle和Barreto(2023)利用对特刊的多重贡献来开发主题问题,这些问题将指导未来对病耻感和社会关系的研究,这可能是病耻感领域的一个模型,因为它面临着巨大的增长。
