Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

96.0K
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...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

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.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.7K
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...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

14.4K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.6K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Spearman's Rank Correlation Test01:20

Spearman's Rank Correlation Test

1.7K
Spearman's rank correlation test, also known as Spearman's rho, is a nonparametric method for assessing the strength and direction of association between two variables. This test is particularly valuable when the data distribution is unknown or when the assumption of normality does not hold. Named after the English psychologist and statistician Dr. Charles Edward Spearman, it serves as the nonparametric counterpart to Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Spearman's test calculates correlation by...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Internalized racism significantly impacts the mental health of people of Color.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the nuances of racial oppression experienced by diverse populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new instrument, the Appropriated Racial Oppression Scale (AROS).
  • To measure the construct of internalized racism among people of Color.

Main Methods:

  • Expert review of generated items by multicultural psychology and scale construction specialists.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on data from 656 adults across two phases.
  • Path analysis was used to assess predictive and criterion-related validity.

Main Results:

  • Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 32-item, 4-factor structure.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis supported a 24-item, 4-factor model.
  • Significant relationships were found between appropriated racial oppression and anxiety and depression.

Conclusions:

  • The Appropriated Racial Oppression Scale demonstrates preliminary evidence of validity.
  • The AROS can assist clinicians in understanding and treating individuals affected by internalized racism.
  • This research contributes to the assessment of racial trauma and its psychological correlates.
