Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

41.9K
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...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

319
The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.3K
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...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.7K
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...

Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.3K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Sources of Self-Esteem III: Social Comparison

187
Social comparison plays a fundamental role in the evaluation of personal success and self-worth. Rather than assessing our achievements in isolation, we interpret their significance relative to personal goals and critically in comparison to the performance of others. A grade of B in a mathematics exam might elicit pride if one's expectation was a C, yet result in disappointment if an A was anticipated or if peers achieved superior results. These comparative evaluations illustrate how both...

Area of Science:

  • Scientific research and academic publishing
  • Peer review processes in STEM fields

Background:

  • Peer review is crucial for scientific advancement but is susceptible to biases.
  • The long-term effects of unprofessional reviewer comments on authors are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and author perceptions of unprofessional peer review comments.
  • To assess the impact of unprofessional comments on scientific aptitude, productivity, and career trajectory.

Main Methods:

  • Anonymous survey of international science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals.
  • Assessed author perceptions of long-term implications following unprofessional peer reviews.

Main Results:

  • Unprofessional comments were received equally across gender and race/ethnicity categories.
  • Underrepresented groups in STEM perceived more significant negative impacts on aptitude, productivity, and career advancement.

Conclusions:

  • Negative perceptions of aptitude can lower self-confidence and hinder career progression.
  • Unprofessional reviews may exacerbate existing disparities for underrepresented groups in STEM.
