“…People"s personal sense of worth is greatly shaped by what other people think of them, what they say about them and the treatment that is received from them (Statman, 2000). When people are degraded, devalued or are perceived to be unworthy of the love of others, they isolate themselves from others (Reyles, 2007) in order to protect themselves from further humiliation.…”

“…Through humiliation people"s dignity becomes violated (Statman, 2000) and stripped away (Killmister, 2009), leaving them feeling disrespected (Malterud & Hollnagel, 2007). When the humiliation happens as a result of the betrayal of husbands, family and community members the detrimental impact on the self-esteem of the victims becomes worse (Parse, 2010).…”

“…It has deep emotional appeal in diverse cultures worldwide (Howard and Donnelly 1986;Donnelly 1989) and in peoples' daily experience through notions such as honor and respect (Kamir 2002;Statman 2002). The widespread psychological and intellectual resonance of dignity may explain the frequent, forceful calls for the use of dignity as a concept and practice to guide and judge the conduct of individuals, organizations, and governments.…”

Dignity seems to be something that virtually all people want. It is a seminal expression of the human experience that gains authority through the convergent demands of people worldwide. Even so, the human dignity concept is in unhelpful disarray. Dignity is variously viewed as an antecedent, a consequence, a value, a principle, and an experience, from philosophical, legal, pragmatic, psychological, behavioral, and cultural perspectives. We ask which if any of these human dignity concepts will likely serve our global common interests best, as both common ground and policy diagnostic? We examine four broad themes: dignity as (1) a metaphysical justification for human rights and duties, (2) virtuous comportment or behavior, (3) a perspective of ''other,'' and (4) a subjective experience of the individual, contingent on a broad and equitable sharing of values. We recommend viewing dignity as a commonwealth of individually assessed well-being, shaped by relationships with others, affected by the physical world, and framed in terms of values. Viewed this way, the idea of dignity accommodates the priorities of both individualistic and communitarian cultures. Conceiving of human dignity as a commonwealth of subjectively experienced value production and enjoyment has many practical policy implications.

“…disgrace, shame, mortifi cation, embarrassment, dishonor or degradation, as the dictionary defi nes the term) can happen even in the most unexpected place, the academic institution, and even to professors, supposedly the highest in the food chain in the university system. Statman (2000) defi nes humiliation as an injury to self-respect of the victim by the offender who intentionally degrades the victim by sending the message of subordination, rejection, or exclusion. It is clear that in this case the offender sent a message of degradation and subordination by using foul language, ignoring the authority of university administrators, and refusing to apologize.…”

“…Another critical topic that is neglected in both intercultural training and acculturation literature pertains to the notion of humiliation (Hartling & Luchetta, 1999;Lindner, 2006;Statman, 2000). In race relations literature there are some indirect references to humiliation (Bergman, Palmieri, Drasgow & Ormerod, 2007;Clark, Anderson, Clark & Williams, 1999), but it is also not at the forefront of the fi eld.…”

Living in a multiculturalNational Academy of Psychology (NAOP) India Psychological Studies (March 2010) 55(1):35 -45 Researchers have consistently identifi ed the three domains of cognition, affect and behavior (Triandis, 1977;Brislin, 1989;Landis & Bhawuk, 2004;Bhawuk, Landis & Lo, 2006;Bhawuk, 2009) that need to be addressed in intercultural training programs to prepare people to be effective in intercultural interactions. However, not much exists in the literature that addresses the affective issues faced by sojourners. In the acculturation literature there is more research on acculturative stress that captures the affective issues faced by immigrants (Berry, 2004) and refugees (Fangen, 2006); however, they are often presented as the plight of people facing marginalization, and others are assumed to be following the cultural learning paradigm of acculturation (Berry, 2004). An attempt is made to fi ll this lacuna in the literature by presenting positive and negative experiences of a successful immigrant and sojourner.Another critical topic that is neglected in both intercultural training and acculturation literature pertains to the notion of humiliation (Hartling & Luchetta, 1999; 1 Paper presented at the 3rd Annual Meeting on Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies, September 16-18, 2004
