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

583
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...

Implicit Memories01:24

Implicit Memories

546
Implicit memories, also known as non-declarative memories, are long-term memories that function outside of conscious awareness. These memories influence behavior and skills without explicit knowledge. This type of memory is evident in tasks like playing tennis, snowboarding, and texting. Implicit memory has three subsystems: procedural memory, conditioning, and priming. This type of memory is essential in various activities, from everyday tasks to specialized skills.

Attitudes

33.5K
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;...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

330
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...

Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development from Childhood into Adulthood01:25

Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development from Childhood into Adulthood

2.6K
Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development emphasizes the role of thinking in a child's learning process, suggesting that children are naturally curious about their environment. His approach to development is discontinuous, proposing that cognitive abilities progress through distinct stages, each with unique characteristics. Central to Piaget's theory is schemata—mental structures that allow individuals to understand and interpret the world.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental psychology
  • Social cognition
  • Cognitive neuroscience

Background:

  • Implicit intergroup bias is prevalent in adults.
  • Understanding when biases change during development is crucial.
  • Previous research indicated limited change in implicit bias across development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate developmental differences in forming and changing novel implicit associations.
  • To examine the capacity for implicit association formation in children aged 5-12.

Main Methods:

  • Study involved over 800 children aged 5-12.
  • Assessed the formation of novel implicit associations (evaluative and non-evaluative).
  • Examined associations with social and non-social targets.

Main Results:

  • Novel implicit associations formed rapidly in children, irrespective of age.
  • Formation speed was consistent across evaluative/non-evaluative and social/non-social conditions.
  • The magnitude of association change was comparable across all tested conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The capacity to form implicit associations appears to be fully developed by age 5.
  • First impressions significantly shape implicit intergroup bias.
  • Implicit association acquisition may be governed by a domain-general mechanism.
