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.

Robbers Cave

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

343
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...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

366
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...

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...

Impact of Groups on Groups

305
Social psychologists analyze how groups influence one another, shaping social structures and interactions through both cooperation and competition. These dynamics manifest in various ways, ranging from economic partnerships to intergroup conflicts that shape societal structures and perceptions.Cooperation and Competition in Intergroup RelationsIntergroup relationships vary across contexts, sometimes fostering cooperation and mutual benefit while at other times leading to conflict and...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Positive intergroup relationships promote societal cohesion and individual well-being.
  • Understanding the developmental trajectory of intergroup attitudes in children is crucial.
  • Existing research lacks a clear model for how intergroup contact influences children's attitudes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize social and developmental science on intergroup relations.
  • To propose a conceptual model for the pathway from intergroup contact to positive attitudes in youth.
  • To elucidate the developmental mechanisms underlying positive intergroup attitude formation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of social and developmental science.
  • Integration of theories on intergroup contact and attitude development.
  • Conceptual model development based on existing research.

Main Results:

  • Intergroup contact, when warm and supportive, can lead to positive outcomes.
  • A developmental pathway exists linking intergroup contact to attitude change in children.
  • Proposed model outlines key factors influencing attitude development from contact.

Conclusions:

  • Warm, egalitarian intergroup contact is vital for social cohesion and individual success.
  • The proposed model provides a framework for understanding attitude development in youth.
  • Further research can utilize this model to investigate interventions promoting positive intergroup relations.
