Vediamo se riesco a trovare qualche fonte sul public shaming che arrivi a conclusioni simili alle tue…
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_humiliation resta un po’ sul vago riguardo all’efficacia del metodo…
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq7Eh6JTKIg molto interessante ed empatico, ma non tratta quello che intendo…

When in doubt, click out. Being an activist is admirable. You don’t have to be a bully—be constructive with your behavior (comments), not combative. There is never a reason to use profanity, mock people or especially wish death to others. One lasting thought, you are your online presence. Your immediate gratification to insult someone for what you may believe is activism, will be attached to your digital resume forever. Short-term vindication is rarely worth the long-term ramifications. Having a bad day? Give yourself permission to sign-off.
Se i professionisti della psicologia indicano che non ci sono mai ragioni legittime per l’uso di certi toni, che male c’è se moderiamo preventivamente le persone che arrivano a quel punto e bloccando il loro accesso per 24h facciamo in modo che si prendano il raccomandato sign-off?
Ah ottengo risultati più azzeccati se aggiungo ‘education’, per parlare delle orecchie d’asino che si usavano in passato.
The fear of rejection severe enough to lead to isolation is a powerful agent of behavioral control. Social connectedness is essential to psychological and physical wellbeing.
Even in cases where shame successfully diminishes a behavior, one should ask, “at what price?” Shame can become internalized, and the shamed person begins to view him or herself in ways consistent with the disapproval. In cases of internal shame, the individual becomes both the judged and the judge and experiences self-criticism and feelings of inadequacy. When shame is internalized and becomes pervasive and enduring, a person can be at risk for developing unhealthy conditions such as depression or social anxiety disorder, the fear of being scrutinized and the avoidance of social events that evoke such fear. Depression and social anxiety disorder are among the most prevalent psychological disorders and are associated with higher risk of developing additional psychological problems.
[The school] forced academically underperforming students to carry a red badge—a virtual scarlet letter—to set them apart from the rest of their peers.
Shaming is the worst method of teaching, because it manipulates kids’ fear of alienation and stigma. It involves giving up on teaching students, and leaves them with only those lessons that can be learned from adult-sanctioned ridicule and mockery.
As a former board member of a charter school in New Orleans, I witnessed students wearing “Not Yet” signs—meaning, they had not yet met expectations—taped on their backs for not following the school’s behavioral policy. I also saw one of those students being made to walk up and down stairs for going against the mandated flow of foot-traffic. Shaming is often paired with harsh disciplinary policy and corporal punishment. None of these are positive means for lifting students up academically or behaviorally.
Educators who incorporate shame in their practice should be ashamed of themselves. Shaming actually works very well, but it runs the great risk of alienating students, moving the problem underground, and away from the supports a student needs to thrive. Students can become so ashamed that they become silent and removed. Bad academic habits can fester and behavioral issues worsen in the absence of authentic teaching. Shaming something away isn’t teaching.
Authentic teaching establishes relationships that empower students with the values and norms we want students to demonstrate outside of school. Shaming isn’t empowering. We should call shaming what it really is: bullying. Pickett’s mother, Jennifer Lansman, told The Phoenix News Times that other students sneer at the red badges, saying that the kids who wear them “must be stupid, or they’re failures.”
Capisco che i troll che intendiamo trattare non sono bambini a scuola, ma prevedo solo due scenari:
- o sono dei semi-professionisti a seminare caciara ed in tal caso il public shaming non li tangerà per niente
- oppure avevano buone intenzioni maldirezionate e dopo il public shaming non ci sarà modo di recuperarli.
Eccone uno più adatto al nostro caso:
It doesn’t really matter if the criticism was justified or not, when you’re about to lose face, all rationality tends to go out the window. It’s a rare person who, in this situation, thinks, “Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways, I really must try to do better next time.” Instead, our reptilian brain kicks in – along with our flight, fight or freeze response. Whichever of these we choose (or more accurately, automatically default to), it rarely results in a happy ending. […] In such situations, there are some pupils who will subconsciously, or even consciously, prioritise saving face in front of their peers over quiet acceptance of a teacher’s instruction, however reasonable. The pupil who answers back or attempts to draw you into a long conversation often does so not so much for your benefit, but for those around them and also so they are able to preserve their own sense of self image. Their reptilian brain has perceived a threat to their self-esteem and the “fight” response has been activated. If you’re not careful, these exchanges can escalate, with ultimatums being issued. Suddenly, you find yourself in a verbal stand-off in front of a watching class.
Dai che è una bella descrizione di come ci si può trovare in un forum… con o senza poteri moderativi, se dici in pubblico al presunto troll in quale modo si sarebbe comportato male.
My advice would be to, wherever possible, try to address the behaviour causing concern on a 1:1 basis. This may mean going over to a pupil’s desk for a quiet, but clear, conversation, or asking them to come to one side to speak with you. By removing the audience, you have lowered the stakes for the pupil and allowed them the time and space to comply with your requests without losing face. In the long-run, it will also help you to build trust with the pupil as they realise you have chosen not to single them out in front of their peers. Crucially, the other pupils will also notice how you have chosen to handle the situation. The quiet conversation should not be confused with being a soft touch. It is important that you use this opportunity to state why the behaviour is unacceptable, what you need to see instead and, if necessary, the consequences of them failing to respond to you. When it comes to managing behaviour, there is no one approach or technique that works every time without fail, but reducing the stakes for both you and the pupil you are working with will usually pay dividends.
In pratica anche questo testo conferma i metodi raccomandati dalle linee guida.
… a pensare che ero partito alla ricerca di articoli che avrebbero sostenuto la tua idea di educazione dei troll. Si dice che si possono trovare testi in supporto di qualsiasi opinione in Rete, ma in realtà in quelle rare occasioni che riesco a trovarne poi non dicono nulla che non sia già stata l’opinione che si cercava di supportare, cioè nessuna dritta psicosociale, nemmeno un’esperienza empirica calzante. Questo vale per molte tesi che altre persone in questo partito portano avanti, e poi dicono a me che io non sarei scientifico perché prendo in considerazione anche blog di carattere empirico.
