Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

43.1K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Parental Care00:55

Parental Care

13.0K
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Detection of Black Holes01:10

Detection of Black Holes

2.6K
Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...

Brick Durability, Strength, and Appearance01:15

Brick Durability, Strength, and Appearance

781
Brick durability, strength, and appearance are crucial factors in construction, influencing the choice of bricks for specific applications. The process of freeze-thaw, for instance, significantly affects brick durability. This phenomenon occurs when water absorbed by a brick expands as it freezes, potentially causing damage when it melts and refreezes. Bricks are graded for durability: SW-grade bricks are the most durable, offering high strength and low water absorption, followed by MW-grade...

Superconductor01:24

Superconductor

2.0K
A substance that reaches superconductivity, a state in which magnetic fields cannot penetrate, and there is no electrical resistance, is referred to as a superconductor. In 1911, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes of Leiden University, a Dutch physicist, observed a relation between the temperature and the resistance of the element mercury. The mercury sample was then cooled in liquid helium to study the linear dependence of resistance on temperature. It was observed that, as the temperature decreased, the...

Strength of Cement01:20

Strength of Cement

731
Strength tests for cement are not performed directly on neat cement paste due to difficulty in obtaining consistent, reliable specimens. Instead, cement is typically tested in the form of cement-sand mortar.
For compressive strength tests, ASTM C 109-05 standards prescribe a cement-sand mix ratio of 1:2.75 and a water/cement ratio of 0.485 for making 2-inch cubes. These cubes are mixed, cast, and cured in saturated lime water at 23°C until testing. Flexural strength testing, outlined in...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Media Studies
  • African American Studies

Background:

  • Freddie Gray's death in police custody sparked protests in Baltimore in April 2015.
  • Toya Graham, a Black mother, gained viral attention for physically intervening to prevent her son from joining the protests.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the cultural expectations and media portrayal of Black motherhood in the context of racial injustice.
  • To examine the societal pressures on Black mothers to be simultaneously "superstrong" protectors and controllers of their children.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of media coverage and public response to the Toya Graham viral video.
  • Examination of the discourse surrounding "good Black motherhood" in relation to the protests.

Main Results:

  • The media's "mother of the year" narrative reinforced a dual expectation for Black mothers: to be fiercely protective yet also responsible for controlling their children's behavior.
  • Celebrating Graham implicitly criticized mothers whose children participated in the protests, linking their actions to "senseless" rioting.

Conclusions:

  • The response to the video reveals complex and often contradictory cultural notions of Black motherhood.
  • Societal expectations place immense pressure on Black mothers to manage their children's safety and behavior within a context of systemic racism.
