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...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

47.7K
A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

353
According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

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...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

373
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...

Surveys02:16

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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Children can perceptually differentiate and categorize faces by race from infancy. However, the extent to which they use race for categorization is influenced by context, methods, and environment.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Infants demonstrate early abilities to differentiate and categorize faces by race.
  • Children aged 6-8 years can sort individuals into racial groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review studies on children's racial categorization.
  • To examine the influence of context, methods, and participant diversity on racial categorization abilities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing studies on children's racial categorization.
  • Analysis of how experimental methods, stimuli, and environmental diversity affect observed abilities.

Main Results:

  • Developmental readiness for racial categorization exists from infancy.
  • The psychological salience of race as a categorization basis is not inevitable.
  • Contextual factors significantly shape the use of race in categorization.

Conclusions:

  • Children's racial categorization abilities are malleable.
  • Experimental settings and broader cultural contexts play a crucial role.
  • The use of race is shaped by environmental and methodological influences, not solely innate capacity.
