project\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF\"><h2>This project addresses a key social challenge we face around the world: how to prevent and combat online hate speech, particularly against immigrants. Specifically, this project focuses on the role of ordinary citizens who passively witness hate speech without reporting it. Such passive behavior contributes to obscure the real magnitude of these crimes and to indirectly legitimize and perpetuate their occurrence. Thus, the aim of this project is to study and test mechanisms to increase moral self-regulation in order to monitor and report online hate speech, empowering citizens about their responsibility in the process of reporting online hate speech, reducing bystander apathy. We hope that this project will contribute to the promotion of a more responsible use of social networks, with greater concern for respect for human dignity, social justice and democratic values.<\/h2><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"qodef-m-info-bottom\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text-bottom\">\n<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"qodef-m-item qodef-e\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-social-links qodef-items-direction--vertical qodef-items-underline qodef-items-align--left qodef-appear-animation--no\" data-appearing-delay=\"0\">\t<div class=\"qodef-m-items\">\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-433883d2\" data-id=\"433883d2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b672b17 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-laurits_core_info_section\" data-id=\"b672b17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"laurits_core_info_section.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-info-section qodef-info-section-875 qodef-layout--default  qodef-title-break--disabled qodef-appear-animation--no qodef-zoom-scroll-animation--no\" style=\"height: 1800px\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-m-info qodef-info-top-align\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"qodef-m-title\" >\n\t\tSocial relevance of<br \/> the VigilHate project\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" >Online hate speech has serious consequences, both at an individual and societal level. In addition to the effects on the psychological well-being of victims, enormous social costs, such as the normalization of discrimination, intolerance, polarization and violence between citizens, can be consequences of this phenomenon, threatening social cohesion as well as respect for fundamental European values.\nHowever, online hate speech is highly difficult to detect for many reasons, and it is almost impossible to know the real extent of such crimes. Consequently, it becomes difficult to act effectively against them. Despite the concern of national and international authorities to create preventive and combat measures, existing institutional social control mechanisms have proved to be ineffective or at least insufficient, as the phenomenon appears to be growing and worsening.\nIn addition to the role of offenders (i.e., the perpetrator of misbehavior) and victims in aggravating this phenomenon (e.g., by not reporting the case), we emphasize the importance and key role of a third party involved: witnesses or bystanders. People who witness these crimes are not held accountable and often do not feel socially responsible for reporting them. This \"silent\" behavior of witnesses is socially, politically and legally neglected, is not discussed socially, people are not aware of their existence and of their own prejudiced behavior, and the consequences of this prejudice on society.\nMost intervention projects and programs to prevent and combat online hate speech focus on victims - to encourage them to report - or on offenders - to discourage them from such practices. However, little (or no) attention has been paid to witnesses, that is, to those who, passively or not, witness online misbehavior.\nBy failing to report online hate speech, citizens are contributing indirectly to legitimizing and perpetuating its occurrence and to the misuse of social networks, since \"silence consents\". In fact, such passive or non-interventionist bystander\u2019 behavior may represent, by itself, an indirect, but no less consequential, discriminatory practice against socially vulnerable groups. \nThus, we intend to encourage ordinary citizens to be committed vigilantes and active bystanders against online hate speech, contributing to the promotion of a more responsible use of social networks.\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"qodef-m-info-bottom\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text-bottom\">\n<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"qodef-m-item qodef-e\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-social-links qodef-items-direction--vertical qodef-items-underline qodef-items-align--left qodef-appear-animation--no\" data-appearing-delay=\"0\">\t<div class=\"qodef-m-items\">\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-08472d1\" data-id=\"08472d1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e8f8b8 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-laurits_core_info_section\" data-id=\"1e8f8b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"laurits_core_info_section.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-info-section qodef-info-section-623 qodef-layout--default  qodef-title-break--disabled qodef-appear-animation--no qodef-zoom-scroll-animation--no\" style=\"height: 1800px\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-m-info qodef-info-top-align\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"qodef-m-title\" >\n\t\tThe project involves:<br \/>\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"qodef-m-text\" >a) the creation and validation of a scale to measure individuals' tendency towards apathy vs. motivation to act in the face of online hate speech. This scale should measure the motivation to report (through informal and formal mechanisms) online hate speech against immigrants, as well as the motivation to engage in behaviors aiming to help the victim, either directly (e.g., talking to victims) or indirectly, confronting offenders;\nb) the study of potential determinants (predictors and moderators) of bystanders\u2019 attitudes towards hate speech directed at migrants;\nc) the study of the effectiveness of internal mechanisms (e.g., moral self-regulation) and external mechanisms of social control to effectively decrease bystander apathy towards online hate speech, promoting self-monitoring and reporting of online misbehavior (and\/or victim support). We propose to test the effectiveness of five specific determinants that literature has shown to be potentially effective to stimulate self-awareness and moral self-regulation, reducing the bystander effect in the face of hate speech: 1) self-efficacy and collective efficacy; 2) perspective taking; 3) promotion of anti-discriminatory rules and policies; 4) promotion of human rights; 5) attribution of heroic status. We also propose to study how these mechanisms are enhanced by contextual factors (e.g., frequency and type of use of social networks, accessibility of social control mechanisms). \nThe focus on the bystander is the great novelty of our project. We propose that stimulating citizens' internal social control (through self-awareness and moral self-regulation) can be effective in increasing people's commitment to combating and reporting online hate speech, delegitimizing this behavior and making it unacceptable.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"qodef-m-info-bottom\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-m-item qodef-e\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m  qodef-social-links qodef-items-direction--vertical qodef-items-underline qodef-items-align--left qodef-appear-animation--no\" data-appearing-delay=\"0\">\t<div class=\"qodef-m-items\">\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8e00475 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle qodef-backgound-letter-holder-no qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"8e00475\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a996396\" data-id=\"a996396\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VigilHate &#8220;CIDAD\u00c3OS VIGILANTES CONTRA O \u00d3DIO&#8221;: Como combater a apatia das testemunhas e aumentar o compromisso dos cidad\u00e3os contra o discurso de \u00f3dio online?
