Hi my name is Daniel and I am an undergrad student at University of Canberra. I am the author of the Overcoming social stigmas book chapter in Motivation & Emotion 2016.

Book Chapter Summary
For a summary of my chapter please view the short and snappy video overview.

My chapter focuses on what motivates us to change the stigmas we hold against others, rather than how to motivate people into changing in the ways in which we would like. I take the view that we all hold social stigmas against others, but that for some of us we are motivated to change them. There is some clinical application that can be drawn from my conclusions though, and particularly when designing or developing community programs that allow access to the vulnerable stigmatised people in society to fully participate and engage in.
