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...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

42.5K
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...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.4K
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...

Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Summary

Early life immune system development in newborns shows significant changes within the first three months. Microbial interactions drive this immune trajectory, but gut dysbiosis can impede it.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Neonatal Research
  • Microbiome Studies

Background:

  • Early life exposures significantly influence immune-mediated diseases.
  • Infants are highly susceptible to infections, necessitating studies on early immune development.
  • Existing research often uses animal models or cord blood, which don't capture postnatal environmental influences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To longitudinally analyze immune system development in newborns during the first three months of life.
  • To identify changes in immune cell populations and plasma proteins after birth.
  • To understand the factors influencing infant immune trajectories.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal blood sampling (up to 4 times) from 100 newborns over their first 3 months.
  • Mass cytometry analysis of 58 immune cell populations.
  • Immunoassay analysis of 267 plasma proteins.

Main Results:

  • Observed drastic, stereotypic immune system changes not predictable from cord blood data.
  • Identified distinct immune profiles at birth for preterm and term infants that converge over time.
  • Found evidence suggesting microbial interactions drive immune development, with gut dysbiosis as a potential hindrance.

Conclusions:

  • Newborn immune development follows a predictable pattern influenced by postnatal exposures.
  • Microbial factors, particularly gut bacteria, play a crucial role in shaping infant immunity.
  • Early gut dysbiosis may negatively impact the trajectory of immune system maturation.
