University of Northern Iowa, USA
| Biography Research Interest Dr. Hitlan's research draws heavily on social psychological theories. Over the past several years, he has established a research program focusing on various social and organizational stressors. One area involves social exclusion or ostracism. He is interested in how social ostracism affects individuals and groups on several levels including intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup, and intergroup. Previous research on ostracism indicates that such behavior is extremely aversive to the victim resulting in threats to one's self-esteem, need for belonging, need for control, and need for meaningfulness in one's life. Additional effects of ostracism include increased hostility and aggression, self-defeating behavior, conformity, and the likelihood of victims engaging in some form of retaliation against the perpetrators, as well as, a decreased likelihood of engaging in organizational citizenship behaviors and lower organizational commitment. Specific organizational stressors currently under investigation include sexual, ethnic, and bystander harassment experiences. Each are conceptualized as distinct types of stressors. One of the primary goals of this research is to investigate the consequences of interactions among these and other types of workplace stress on psychological, physical, and work-related attitudes and behaviors. Dr. Hitlan is currently examining how each of these, independently and in conjunction with one another, nfluence perceptions of the workplace climate, work-related attitudes (e.g., satisfaction with coworkers, supervisors) and work-related behaviors (e.g., increased work withdrawal, hostility,and aggression).Additional areas of interest include examining the relation between diet history (e.g., nutritional intake) and various bio-markers related to health and inflammation. |  |
