Empirical Studies of Self-Stigma Reduction Strategies: A Critical Review of the Literature

Abstract: Self-stigma is the harm that occurs when a person internalizes the prejudices embodied in public stigma. A review of current research on self-stigma reduction strategies identified two prominent approaches: interventions to alter the individual's stigmatizing beliefs and attitudes and interventions that enhance skills for coping with self-stigma through improvements in self-esteem, empowerment, and help seeking. The second approach seems to have gained traction among experts.

Transactors, Transformers and Beyond. A Multi-Method Development of a Theoretical Typology of Leadership.

Abstract: Extends the transactional‐transformational model of leadership by deductively developing four theoretical behavioral types of leadership based on a historical analysis of leadership literature. Then, in an exploratory empirical phase, uses two data sets to inductively develop alternative models of leadership types. Finally, with a third data set, tests several theoretically plausible typologies using second‐order confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results of the CFA generally support the existence of four leadership types: directive leadership, transactional leadership, transformational leadership, and empowering leadership.
