Definition: Labeling and stigma approach
labeling
approach is based on a recent approach of the sociology of deviant behavior and was developed on the basis of symbolic interactionism. Not the physical behavior itself, but its negative assessment, "label" can be caused only deviation. Disturbances in mental or criminal behavior and experience, not only in terms of Individual, but viewed in the context of family and social environment. Research questions are: How are deviances human behavior interpreted by the social environment? What meaning and what meaning is accorded to the events? What is right or wrong, regarded as evil or ill? The labeling approach is for example assume that (primary) difference in behavior of youth is only a temporary nature and causes of social intervention by the supervisory bodies and associated attribution processes a secondary deviation. The labeling approach thus provides an enhanced framework of interpretation (labeling perspective), the interaction of people and Properties of the situation as opposed to a "pure" approach emphasizes property.
stigma
behavior due to an own-made stigma follows on in characteristics of persons who may be visible or invisible (eg, physical disability, group membership, behavior). The "visibility" (visibility) makes it easier to stigmatize. On the basis of a stigma tend the "normal" to insinuate other imperfections and negative qualities as generalizations. The attribution is by using specific stigma terms (cripple, moron, pervert, etc.) underlined (prejudices, one's self-fulfilling prophecy).
