Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.6K
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.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

74
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

11.5K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

513
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:

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

5.6K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Area of Science:

  • Investigates the intersection of social determinants of health, specifically racial/ethnic discrimination, and dietary behaviors.
  • Examines the impact of discrimination on food consumption patterns within diverse populations.

Background:

  • Racial/ethnic discrimination is a known contributor to adverse health outcomes.
  • Understanding how discrimination influences health behaviors, such as dietary patterns, is crucial for addressing health disparities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the relationship between racial/ethnic discrimination and the consumption of healthy and unhealthy foods.
  • To explore how the timing (past-week vs. lifetime) and type of discrimination affect food consumption in diverse demographic groups.

Main Methods:

  • Employed structural equation modeling to assess associations between discrimination and food consumption.
  • Utilized two diverse samples: adults from New York City and American Indian/Alaska Native adults from Denver.
  • Collected self-report data on discrimination, food intake, life stressors, and demographics.

Main Results:

  • Discrimination was significantly associated with food consumption patterns in both study samples.
  • Past-week discrimination correlated with increased consumption of both healthy and unhealthy foods.
  • Lifetime discrimination was linked to a higher intake of unhealthy foods only.

Conclusions:

  • Findings suggest that discrimination may exacerbate health disparities via its influence on dietary habits.
  • The differential impact of recent versus lifetime discrimination indicates the involvement of multiple underlying mechanisms.
  • Future research should consider the nuances of discrimination timing and its complex relationship with diet.
