Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.7K
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...

Surveys02:16

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.

Bullying02:04

Bullying

8.5K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Aggression01:47

Aggression

28.0K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

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...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

525
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:

  • Gerontology
  • Social Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Ageism remains a pervasive societal issue.
  • Literature on ageism needs expansion regarding subtle forms of discrimination.
  • Age-related microaggressions represent a specific, under-explored aspect of ageism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the phenomenon of age-related microaggressions.
  • To expand the existing body of literature on ageism.
  • To provide a foundational understanding of age-related microaggressions experienced by older adults.

Main Methods:

  • Online survey administered to 51 participants.
  • Qualitative thematic analysis used to summarize participant responses.
  • Exploration of personal experiences with age-related microaggressions.

Main Results:

  • Participants frequently encountered age-related microaggressions, particularly microinsults.
  • Microaggressions occurred across diverse settings, often perpetrated by strangers.
  • Negative emotional responses were common, yet perpetrators were seldom confronted.

Conclusions:

  • This study offers a foundational framework for future research on age-related microaggressions.
  • Further investigation is needed on the effects of microaggressions on older adults.
  • Understanding these experiences is crucial for addressing broader societal impacts of ageism.
