Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.7K
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...

In- and Out-Groups

People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Impact of Groups on Groups

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...

Surveys

17.1K
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.

Impact of Groups on Individuals

405
Groups play a fundamental role in shaping individual behavior, as they establish norms that guide interactions and decision-making. Social psychology examines how individuals conform to group expectations, often adjusting their attitudes and actions to align with group norms. These norms can be formal, such as workplace policies, or informal, such as unspoken social expectations within a fraternity.Conformity and Social InfluenceConformity arises when individuals modify their behaviors or...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Psychometric Measurement
  • Attitude Research

Background:

  • Implicit measures of racial attitudes commonly use individual images to infer category-level beliefs.
  • Research shows individual responses are heavily influenced by specific exemplar characteristics, potentially biasing results.
  • This reliance on individual exemplars may limit the accuracy of assessing broad social category attitudes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether using group images improves the measurement of implicit racial attitudes compared to individual images.
  • To determine if group-based implicit measures offer enhanced construct validity, reliability, and predictive validity.

Main Methods:

  • Developed and compared implicit measures using images of racial groups (Black and White) versus individual exemplars.
  • Collected data across three time points to assess stability and predictive power.
  • Evaluated measures based on construct validity, test-retest reliability, and predictive validity.

Main Results:

  • The implicit measure utilizing images of Black and White groups demonstrated superior construct validity.
  • Group-based measures exhibited higher test-retest reliability compared to individual-based measures.
  • Predictive validity was also significantly greater for the implicit measure employing group images.

Conclusions:

  • Implicit measures using group images are more effective for assessing beliefs about social categories than those using individual images.
  • Group exemplars mitigate the impact of idiosyncratic features, providing a more robust measure of category-level implicit attitudes.
  • Group images offer a more accurate and reliable window into existing social category beliefs.
