Why be 'normal'? Determining the reasons for destigmatization and its impact on marked-marked relationships. - 278 p.

Adviser: Allan Schnaiberg.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Northwestern University, 2006.

This dissertation introduces a new concept, destigmatization, which is the process by which marked persons attempt to separate themselves from their stigma using medical and technological innovation/intervention. In doing so, it explores the factors that may contribute to or prevent individuals' perceived need for destigmatization: parental influence, socialization, peer influence, societal pressure (i.e., social control), identity development, self-concept, agency, and group identification. The Stigma Acknowledgment Model is also introduced and its usefulness in understanding the process of destigmatization is discussed.

520 $a This dissertation introduces a new concept, destigmatization, which is the process by which marked persons attempt to separate themselves from their stigma using medical and technological innovation/intervention. In doing so, it explores the factors that may contribute to or prevent individuals' perceived need for destigmatization: parental influence, socialization, peer influence, societal pressure (i.e., social control), identity development, self-concept, agency, and group identification. The Stigma Acknowledgment Model is also introduced and its usefulness in understanding the process of destigmatization is discussed.
520 $a The study focuses on three similar yet different marked groups---the deaf; little people; and the obese. It relies on qualitative data, obtained primarily through 55 semi-structured interviews and 103 open-ended questionnaires, collected over a 20-month period. The following research findings support the hypotheses that guided this study. (1) Parental influence and socialization affected how deaf people and dwarfs viewed their stigma. (2) The likelihood/unlikelihood of destigmatization was dependent on identity development, self-concept, agency, and/or group identification. (3) Views of identity modification as "successful" were determined by the distance from their stigma that members were able to achieve as well as the length of time they were able to maintain it. (4) In most cases, individuals who experienced problems associated with reversion and/or self-verification (i.e., role verification) and identity discrepancy eventually accepted their marked identities and stopped attempting to change them. (5) Participants' views of those who attempted destigmatization varied based on how they related to their stigma. (6) Those who pursued destigmatization did so because they felt it would improve their lives in some way. (7) And, the central difference among the groups was the degree of societal pressure members experienced to conform to expectations, with such pressure being highest for the obese and lowest for dwarfs.
