Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

93.1K
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...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

16.2K
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.

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

40.6K
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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.0K
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...

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses01:22

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses

7.2K
The physiological function of a cell and cellular communication are outcomes of a range of extrinsic signals, intracellular signaling pathways, and cellular responses. No two cell types express the same repertoire of signaling components. Receptors are highly selective for their cognate ligands, but once activated, they can alter multiple cellular processes such as DNA transcription, protein synthesis, and metabolic activity. 
Graded and Abrupt Responses
Some signaling systems generate...

Stem Cell Niche01:26

Stem Cell Niche

5.6K
The stem cell niche is the dynamic microenvironment where stem cells reside. Inside these niches, the cells may remain undifferentiated, undergo high self-renewal, or become lineage-specific progenitors. Stem cells coexist with other niche cells, such as stromal cells. They also interact closely with the ECM. Cell-cell and cell-matrix communication occur via adhesion molecules or soluble factors that signal the stem cells and determine their fate. Stromal cells also provide survival signals to...

Area of Science:

  • Academic research institutions
  • Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education

Background:

  • Microaggressions are often perceived as isolated incidents but are systemic within academic research settings.
  • Persons Excluded from science because of Ethnicity and Race (PEERs) frequently encounter microaggressions from peers and faculty.
  • These persistent microaggressions can impede the full inclusion and participation of PEERs in scientific fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a rationale for concrete actions aimed at mitigating microaggressions.
  • To develop strategies for coping with and diminishing microaggressive incidents.
  • To promote a more inclusive environment for PEERs within STEM.

Main Methods:

  • This study elaborates on a rationale for concrete actions.
  • It encourages STEM departments and leadership to implement specific interventions.
  • Focus is placed on affirming PEER scholar identities and promoting allyship.

Main Results:

  • Microaggressions are deeply embedded in academic research institutions, not isolated events.
  • PEERs are significantly impacted by microaggressions from various academic personnel.
  • Actionable strategies are proposed to address and reduce these incidents.

Conclusions:

  • STEM departments must actively combat microaggressions to ensure the inclusion of PEERs.
  • Affirming PEER scholar identities is crucial for fostering a sense of belonging.
  • Promoting allyship through sensitivity, responsiveness, and anti-bias awareness is essential for an equitable scientific community.
