Researchers have proposed a new theoretical model to analyze gaslighting, a form of psychological manipulation that involves making a victim question their sense of reality over a period of time. Using the field of social cognition as a starting point, the team from McGill University and the University of Toronto aimed to update the current theoretical knowledge surrounding gaslighting.
Children from affluent families are more likely to grow up to occupy formal leadership positions by their mid-20s than those from families facing adversity, a new Concordia-led study shows.
However, the pathways to professional success for each group are significantly different. Affluent children are more likely to benefit from job opportunities through family or friendship connections. They can also build up their careers thanks to a persistent level of support throughout their lives.
Children in adverse circumstances often lack those support structures. More importantly, they encounter additional barriers that can limit their professional opportunities, such as chronic stress and limited access to developmental resources.
