Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

77.8K
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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

13.0K
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...

Surveys

14.3K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

17.9K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects01:29

Self-Discrepancy and Its Effects

512
Self-discrepancy theory explains how people compare their actual self to their ideal and ought selves and how mismatches between these self-guides can lead to emotional distress. Developed by E. Tory Higgins, the theory distinguishes among three components of self-concept: the actual self, the ideal self, and the ought self. These refer respectively to how individuals perceive themselves, how they aspire to be, and how they believe they are obligated to be. Emotional well-being, self-esteem,...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Social Epidemiology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Sedentary behavior is a growing public health concern.
  • Psychosocial factors may influence sedentary behavior patterns.
  • Understanding these links is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between perceived discrimination and sedentary behavior.
  • To determine if experiences of discrimination correlate with time spent in sedentary activities.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from 3270 Black and White men and women in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study.
  • Participants reported experiences of discrimination and time engaged in total and screen time sedentary behaviors.
  • Statistical adjustments were made for demographic and traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors.

Main Results:

  • No association was found between discriminatory experiences and total sedentary behavior time.
  • Discriminatory experiences were positively associated with screen time sedentary behavior in Black men (OR 1.81) and White women (OR 1.51).

Conclusions:

  • Perceived discrimination is associated with increased screen time sedentary behavior among Black men and White women.
  • These findings suggest that psychosocial stressors like discrimination may contribute to specific types of sedentary behavior.
