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...

Bullying

A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

395
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

Aggression

30.7K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Higher Education Studies

Background:

  • Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) students face heterosexism on college campuses.
  • Subtle sexual orientation microaggressions are prevalent and can harm academic and psychological well-being.
  • A psychometrically sound instrument is needed to measure LGBQ microaggressions in higher education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a scale measuring sexual orientation microaggressions experienced by LGBQ students in college settings.
  • To differentiate between interpersonal and environmental manifestations of LGBQ microaggressions.

Main Methods:

  • Creation and psychometric testing of the LGBQ Microaggressions on College Campuses Scale.
  • Development of two correlated subscales: Interpersonal LGBQ Microaggressions and Environmental LGBQ Microaggressions.

Main Results:

  • The developed scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity.
  • The Interpersonal and Environmental LGBQ Microaggressions subscales effectively captured distinct aspects of the phenomenon.

Conclusions:

  • The LGBQ Microaggressions on College Campuses Scale is a reliable and valid tool for assessing these experiences.
  • This instrument can facilitate further research into the prevalence and impact of microaggressions on LGBQ students.
  • Understanding and addressing microaggressions is crucial for supporting LGBQ student well-being and academic success.
