Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

92.7K
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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.9K
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...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

46
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

51
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

40.2K
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...

Schemas01:42

Schemas

12.1K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Cross-Cultural Psychology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Immigrants may integrate new stereotypes from host cultures into existing ones.
  • Previous research has not examined this in relation to stereotypes about older adults.
  • Understanding stereotype accommodation is crucial for immigrant integration and well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how cultural differences, duration of stay, and cultural orientation influence stereotype accommodation among immigrants.
  • To examine stereotype accommodation concerning older adults across 40 host countries.
  • To explore the impact of cross-cultural stereotype differences on immigrants' meta-beliefs.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study using two multinational datasets: European Social Survey (ESS) and World Value Survey (WVS).
  • Stereotype accommodation measured on warmth and competence dimensions.
  • Operationalized as differences between immigrant meta-beliefs and general population meta-beliefs in host and origin countries.
  • Complex regressions used, correcting for country-level effects.

Main Results:

  • Significant cross-cultural differences in stereotypes about the social warmth of older people were observed.
  • Immigrants' meta-beliefs about older adults' warmth became less similar to their origin culture and more similar to the host culture.
  • The duration of stay and cultural orientation did not significantly moderate this effect.

Conclusions:

  • Cultural differences in stereotypes about older adults' warmth influence immigrants' belief systems.
  • This study provides initial insights into how migration affects aging stereotypes held by immigrants.
  • Findings suggest potential implications for immigrants' well-being as they age.
