Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

91.9K
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 Confounding

164
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...

Surveys

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.

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

733
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:

Sources of Self-Esteem III: Social Comparison

15
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...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

6
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...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Structural racial discrimination in the USA, rooted in historical enslavement, persists through dynamic and often unobservable manifestations.
  • Existing methods struggle to comprehensively measure structural racism across diverse settings, institutions, life stages, and historical periods.
  • There is a critical need for a robust, adaptable measurement tool to assess lifelong exposure to structural discrimination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop a novel instrument for measuring structural racial discrimination.
  • The measure aims to be applicable across diverse contexts, life courses, and geographies, suitable for large national datasets.
  • To provide a tool that facilitates documentation of inequities and informs policy decisions for racial equity.

Main Methods:

  • Employed an exploratory mixed-methods approach, including qualitative interviews with 15 older Black adults.
  • Conducted focus groups with 38 discrimination researchers and key stakeholders to inform instrument design.
  • Identified 27 indicators of structural racial discrimination across nine theoretical contexts and matched them with historical administrative data.

Main Results:

  • Developed an instrument to quantify structural racial discrimination exposure among older Black Americans.
  • The measure accounts for variations across contexts, the life course, and geographical locations using home address data.
  • This approach offers a low-burden method for participants, enabling multifaceted measurement as more data becomes available.

Conclusions:

  • Presents a novel framework for assessing structural racial discrimination, integrating theory with lived experiences.
  • Addresses a significant gap identified by researchers and policymakers for a life-course approach to measuring structural racism.
  • The developed instrument is a promising step toward more thorough documentation of inequities and evidence-based policy for racial equity.
