Survival analysis is a statistical method used to analyze time-to-event data, often employed in fields such as medicine, engineering, and social sciences. One of the key challenges in survival analysis is dealing with incomplete data, a phenomenon known as "censoring." Censoring occurs when the event of interest (such as death, relapse, or system failure) has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period or is otherwise unobservable, and it might have many different...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.1K
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
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Societies may stigmatize groups during crises.
  • Dehumanization is a coping mechanism linked to distressing events.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic saw increased prejudice against Asian communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the prevalence of dehumanization towards Asians and Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • To examine the relationship between dehumanization and perceptions of the virus.
  • To identify demographic and ideological factors associated with dehumanization.

Main Methods:

  • A preregistered two-wave survey design was employed.
  • Data were collected from 917 participants in the first wave (March 26-April 2, 2020) and 723 in the second wave (May 6-May 13, 2020).
  • Surveys assessed dehumanization, risk perception of the virus, and belief in conspiracy theories.

Main Results:

  • Dehumanization of Asians and Asian Americans was prevalent, ranging from 6.1% to 39% in the first wave.
  • Individuals who dehumanized perceived the virus as less risky and its consequences as less severe.
  • Dehumanizers were more likely to be ideologically Conservative and believe in virus-related conspiracy theories.
  • Results were largely replicated in the second wave, confirming the findings.

Conclusions:

  • A significant portion of Americans dehumanized Asians and Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Dehumanization was associated with a diminished perception of the virus's threat.
  • Findings have implications for understanding dehumanization theory and its societal impact during public health crises.
