Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.8K
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...

Agouti: A Lethal Allele
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status01:26

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status

319
James Marcia's identity status model provides a framework for understanding how adolescents navigate identity formation through varying degrees of exploration and commitment. Marcia's model builds on Erik Erikson's theories of psychosocial development, focusing specifically on how adolescents reconcile individual aspirations with societal expectations. His model describes identity formation as a dynamic process where adolescents move between different states depending on their level...

Lenz's Law01:15

Lenz's Law

4.2K
The direction in which the induced emf drives the current around a wire loop can be found through the negative sign. However, it is usually easier to determine this direction with Lenz's law, named in honor of its discoverer, Heinrich Lenz (1804–1865). Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced emf drives the current around a wire loop always to oppose the change in magnetic flux that causes the emf.
If a bar magnet is moved toward a coil such that the magnetic flux...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.9K
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...

External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

11.2K
The vulva encompasses the external structures of the female reproductive system. At the forefront is the monpubis, a cushion of fatty tissue atop the pubic bone. Once puberty sets in, this area typically grows hair. Extending from just behind the mons pubis are the labia majora (labia = 'lips'; majora = 'larger'), which are larger skin fs olds coated with hair. Nestled within are the labia minora (labia = 'lips'; minora = 'smaller'), which are thinner, more...

Area of Science:

  • Historical Studies
  • Gender and Sexuality Studies
  • Literary Criticism

Background:

  • Scholarly works on 18th- and 19th-century British women's queer desire often debate the applicability of the term "lesbian."
  • Historical context lacks a specific social role or noun for women who loved other women before the 20th century.
  • Pre-modern conceptualizations of same-sex female relationships may differ significantly from contemporary lesbian identity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To argue that Anne Lister (1791-1840) represents an exception to the general hesitation in applying the term "lesbian" to historical figures.
  • To examine Lister's extensive diaries for evidence of thoughts, feelings, and actions consistent with modern lesbian identity.
  • To advocate for the strategic use of the term "lesbian" to describe Lister and acknowledge historical same-sex female relationships.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of Anne Lister's personal diaries.
  • Examination of scholarly arguments regarding the fluidity and application of terminology in gender and sexuality studies.
  • Comparative analysis of Lister's self-descriptions against modern definitions of lesbian identity.

Main Results:

  • Anne Lister's diaries provide substantial evidence of thoughts, feelings, and actions aligning with modern lesbian identity.
  • The study supports the view that "modern lesbian identity" is not monolithic, allowing for historical comparisons.
  • The term "lesbian" can be strategically applied to Lister to better represent the nature and extent of her relationships with women.

Conclusions:

  • Anne Lister's life and writings offer a compelling case for applying the term "lesbian" retrospectively.
  • Utilizing the term "lesbian" for Lister aids in communicating the historical reality of same-sex female relationships to a broader audience.
  • This approach challenges historical negation and promotes a more inclusive understanding of past queer experiences.
