Single Room Occupancy

Examples of Single Room Occupancy in the following topics:

• Change in Household Size

  • Household models include the single family and blended family home, shared housing, and group homes for people with special needs.
  • Household models in Anglophone culture include the single family and varieties of blended families, shared housing, and group homes for people with support needs.
  • Other models of living situations that may meet definitions of a household include boarding houses, a house in multiple occupations in Great Britain, and a single room occupancy in the United States.
  • In a boarding house, lodgers rent one or more rooms for a period ranging from one night to weeks, months, or even years.
  • A single room occupancy is a single room dwelling or multiple-tenant building that houses one or two people in individual rooms.

• Noninvolvement and the Diffusion of Responsibility

  • Participants were placed in a classroom with two actors who sat silently by as smoke began to fill the room.
  • Participants were placed in a classroom with two actors who sat silently by as smoke began to fill the room.
  • Alternatively, individuals might feel as though no one can find them responsible because there is no way to single out their behaviors from the rest of the group.

• Gender Socialization

  • ., painting the room blue if the child is a boy, pink for a girl).
  • Identities are therefore normatively constructed along this single parameter.

• Race and Ethnicity

  • There are many single gene genetic disorders that differ in frequency between different populations.
  • Taking the example of sickle-cell disease, in an emergency room, knowing the geographic origin of a patient may help a doctor doing an initial diagnosis if a patient presents with symptoms compatible with this disease.

• Online Communities

  • Many means are used in social software separately or in combination, including text-based chat rooms and forums that use voice, video text, or avatars.
  • A community was previously defined as a group from a single location.

• Networks

  • It is better for individual success to have connections to a variety of networks rather than many connections within a single network.
  • This approach has turned out to be useful for explaining many real-world phenomena, but leaves less room for individual agency, the ability for individuals to influence their success, so much of it rests within the structure of their network.

• The Family Life Cycle

  • However, unhappily married couples may not receive the same health benefits and may actually be less healthy than their single peers.
  • Previous research has attributed this to the fact that single-parent households tend to be poorer than dual-parent households and poverty is related to behavior problems.
  • A recent study by Marcia Carlson adds a clue as to why children raised in single-parent households or households with step-parents might have more behavior problems.
  • When the relationship between a child and the father is missing, children in single-parent and step-parent families are more likely to act out in negative ways.
  • Children have gained more autonomy in private spaces in their homes (e.g., they are allowed to decorate their own rooms) but have lost autonomy in public areas outside the home (e.g., they are not allowed to go to the park alone).

• Group Influence

  • Research participants would enter a room and sit at a table with several other people (who were confederates, meaning they were actually helping with the research).
  • One mechanism which management consultants recommend to avoid groupthink is to place responsibility and authority for a decision in the hands of a single person who can turn to others for advice.

• Paying for Medical Care

  • However, this is not a concern in many group health plans because there are often laws that prevent companies from charging a single individual in the plan more than others who are enrolled in the same insurance plan.
  • Healthcare changes in the United States, however, are typically rife with conflict, slow to progress, and dominated by concerns about profits rather than patients, which often leads to a highly fractured and conflict-oriented approach with little room for significant changes except over vast periods of time (see debates surrounding Social Security, the Hill-Burton Act, the EMTALA, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for examples.
  • Publicly funded medicine is often referred to as socialized medicine by its opponents, whereas supporters of this approach tend to use the terms universal healthcare, single payer healthcare, or National Health Services.
  • Price no longer influences the allocation of resources, thus removing a natural self-corrective mechanism for avoiding waste and inefficiency (though the redundancy of the private system - competing insurers - often results in more inefficiency than a single, public system).
