Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.6K
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...

Attitudes

33.2K
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;...

Implicit Personality Theories01:23

Implicit Personality Theories

487
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...

Motivational Bias01:25

Motivational Bias

400
Cognitive bias results from limitations in thinking and information processing, leading to systematic errors in judgment. Conversely, motivational bias stems from personal desires or emotions, causing distortions in perception to align with self-interest. Motivational bias influences how individuals perceive and attribute causes to events, often shaped by personal needs, goals, and self-esteem preservation. This bias can distort judgment, leading to inaccurate assessments of success, failure,...

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

683
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.8K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Personality Psychology

Background:

  • Schwartz's model of basic human values is widely accepted.
  • Implicit Association Tests (IATs) offer a way to measure unconscious biases and attitudes.
  • Assessing the validity of IATs for specific value domains is crucial for their application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the construct and criterion validity of the Achievement-Benevolence Implicit Association Test (AB-IAT).
  • To examine the relationship between the AB-IAT, self-report measures, and actual behavior.
  • To test the generalizability of Schwartz's value model within implicit social cognition.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted with a total of 212 participants.
  • Participants completed the AB-IAT, other value-IATs, self-report value scales, and measures of social desirability.
  • Actual behavior related to Benevolence values was assessed in the second study.

Main Results:

  • The AB-IAT demonstrated adequate internal consistency and construct validity, correlating differently with self-report measures.
  • The AB-IAT was unrelated to social desirability and predicted actual Benevolence-related behavior.
  • Implicit and explicit values differentially predicted actual and self-rated behaviors, respectively.

Conclusions:

  • The AB-IAT is a valid measure of implicit Achievement-Benevolence values.
  • Findings support the applicability of Schwartz's value model to implicit social cognition.
  • The study highlights the utility of dual-process models in understanding value research.
