Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.9K
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...

Implicit Personality Theories01:23

Implicit Personality Theories

599
Implicit personality theory explains how individuals make assumptions about the relationships between personality traits, behaviors, and character types. When people learn that someone possesses a particular trait, they tend to infer the presence of other related characteristics, forming a cohesive impression. This cognitive shortcut plays a crucial role in social interactions and interpersonal judgments.Central Traits and Their InfluenceSolomon Asch's seminal 1946 study highlighted the power...

Attitudes

33.6K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Surveys

17.2K
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

15.6K
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...

Social Identity01:29

Social Identity

423
Social identity constitutes a significant aspect of an individual’s self-concept, shaped by membership in various social groups, including gender, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and political affiliation. Individuals associate specific traits with particular social groups, leading to internalization of these traits. For example, musicians are often perceived as creative, while women are frequently associated with nurturing tendencies. Once individuals identify with a...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Attitude Research

Background:

  • Contradictory findings exist regarding implicit and explicit attitudes toward visible differences.
  • Previous research suggests explicit attitudes are positive, while implicit attitudes may be negative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate implicit attitudes towards visible differences in adults.
  • To determine if negative implicit biases exist towards individuals with visible differences.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to measure attitudes.
  • Recruited 129 adult participants for the study.

Main Results:

  • No evidence of negative implicit attitudes towards visible differences was found.
  • This contradicts prior research and anecdotal reports from individuals with visible differences.

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary evidence suggests implicit attitudes towards visible differences are not inherently negative.
  • Observed negative social behaviors may stem from uncertainty in social interactions rather than implicit bias.
