Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

92.4K
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...

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding01:25

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

174
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Sources of Self-Esteem III: Social Comparison

30
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...

Structuralism

2.4K
Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He...

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...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

779
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Structural racism significantly impacts population health outcomes.
    • Existing epidemiologic research on structural racism faces measurement challenges.
    • Accurate measurement is crucial for understanding and addressing health disparities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To expand upon and compare different approaches for measuring structural racism in epidemiologic research.
    • To evaluate the merits and challenges of various measurement strategies.
    • To inform future research on the complex nature of structural racism.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of measurement approaches for structural racism.
    • Review of scales, indexes, indicators, and policy-based measures.
    • Discussion of conceptualization and measurement validity in epidemiologic studies.

    Main Results:

    • Different measures of structural racism (scales, indexes, indicators, policy-based) have distinct strengths and weaknesses.
    • Conceptualizing structural racism is key to selecting appropriate measurement tools.
    • No single measure may fully capture the multidimensionality of structural racism.

    Conclusions:

    • Selecting appropriate measures for structural racism is critical for advancing epidemiologic research.
    • Future research should carefully consider and refine methods for measuring structural racism.
    • Improved measurement can lead to a better understanding of racism's impact on health.
