Moral stigma attached to an occupation can scar workers through discrediting, shaming, and denying respect. It can also open the door to interpersonal mistreatment, but little is known about how morally stigmatized workers navigate anticipated disrespect to potentially avoid harm. We explore this issue in a study of an occupation carrying severe moral stigma and where disrespect and workplace mistreatment are pervasive: models in hip-hop and rap music videos. Through analyses of 71 interviews with 48 video models and 19 industry informants, field observations, and archival data, we show how severe moral stigma and industry constraints promote generalized disrespect of video models (i.e., denial of worth to all role occupants) and, thus, each model's personal vulnerability to mistreatment. Two distinct groups of models emerged from our analysis-those who viewed themselves as emboldened in their role identity and those who did not-and this emboldened role identity was associated with differing perceptions of their personal vulnerability to mistreatment and their behaviors to mitigate it. The first group of models, those reporting an emboldened role identity, perceived their vulnerability to mistreatment as controllable. They strategically used both assertive behaviors (that earned respect from others) and passive behaviors (that avoided disrespect from others) to mitigate mistreatment. By contrast, the second group perceived their vulnerability to mistreatment as uncontrollable and reported using only passive behaviors (to avoid disrespect) when mistreatment was imminent. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of our findings, advancing knowledge of dirty work, workplace mistreatment, respect dynamics, and identity.

在说唱“游戏”中大胆：受到严重污名化的视频模特如何应对工作场所虐待的不尊重和脆弱性。


职业所附带的道德耻辱可能会通过抹黑、羞辱和拒绝尊重来伤害工人。它还可能为人际虐待打开大门，但人们对受到道德污名的工人如何应对预期的不尊重以避免潜在的伤害知之甚少。我们在一项带有严重道德耻辱且普遍存在不尊重和工作场所虐待的职业的研究中探讨了这个问题：嘻哈和说唱音乐视频中的模特。通过对 48 名视频模特和 19 名行业线人的 71 次采访、现场观察和档案数据的分析，我们展示了严重的道德耻辱和行业限制如何促进对视频模特的普遍不尊重（即否认所有角色占有者的价值），从而，每个模特都容易受到虐待。我们的分析中出现了两组不同的模型——那些认为自己的角色身份有勇气的人和那些没有的人——而这种有勇气的角色身份与他们对个人易受虐待的脆弱性以及减轻虐待的行为的不同看法有关。第一组模型，那些报告了大胆的角色身份的模型，认为他们容易受到虐待的脆弱性是可控的。他们策略性地使用自信的行为（赢得他人的尊重）和被动的行为（避免他人的不尊重）来减少虐待。相比之下，第二组人认为自己容易受到虐待，这是无法控制的，并且报告说，当虐待即将发生时，他们只采取被动行为（以避免不尊重）。我们讨论我们的研究结果的理论和实践意义，提高对肮脏工作、工作场所虐待、尊重动态和身份的认识。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
