Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...
Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.
Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence categorization, a person will feel...
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...
Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the brain can only use...
Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Development
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Cognitive Biases

Background:

  • Developmental studies on heuristics and biases yield controversial findings.
  • Some research suggests children may reason more logically than adults in certain contexts.
  • Previous studies often do not account for children's knowledge of heuristic stereotypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of children's familiarity with heuristic stereotypes on reasoning tasks.
  • To resolve conflicting findings regarding age-related differences in logical reasoning.
  • To determine if reasoning performance is influenced by the conflict between heuristic and analytic responses.

Main Methods:

  • A card game version of the base-rate task was administered to 5-year-old preschoolers and 8-year-old children.
  • Problems utilized stereotypes that were either familiar or unfamiliar to preschoolers.
  • The consistency between heuristic and analytic responses was manipulated (conflict vs. no-conflict problems).

Main Results:

  • An age-related decrease in performance on conflict problems was observed.
  • An age-related increase in performance on no-conflict problems occurred.
  • These age effects were most significant when stereotypes were unfamiliar to 5-year-olds, but familiarity also impacted performance.

Conclusions:

  • Age-related declines in reasoning tasks may stem from difficulty managing tempting heuristics, not reduced analytic skills.
  • Children's knowledge of stereotypes significantly influences their performance on reasoning tasks.
  • Understanding heuristic familiarity is crucial for interpreting developmental differences in cognitive reasoning.
