Motivations for hazing in collegiate settings: Employing situational strength to identify, disrupt, and construct

Abstract

AbstractHazing is motivated by numerous psychosocial phenomena embedded in the broader cultural milieu. The identification and deconstruction of these motivators presents an especially unique pathway to eliminating harmful and dangerous behaviors. The application of situational strength to hazing prevention offers a robust and applicable framework to help administrators and professionals impactfully disrupt hazing and reshape the larger campus and organizational ecology to support healthier joining experiences.
