Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

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...

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.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Firearm violence poses a significant public health challenge.
  • Research on motivations for firearm access is limited despite epidemiological risks.
  • Developing tools to measure firearm attitudes and behaviors is crucial for research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a feasible and effective tool for indirectly measuring attitudes toward firearms.
  • To assess implicit firearm beliefs using an Implicit Association Test (IAT).

Main Methods:

  • Recruited 274 undergraduates from two southern universities.
  • Administered a Firearm Implicit Association Test (IAT) to assess implicit attitudes.
  • Used self-report measures (Attitude Toward Guns Scale, Gun Beliefs and Behavior Scale) for explicit attitudes.
  • Collected demographic and firearm-related data.

Main Results:

  • The Firearm IAT demonstrated an association between firearms and negatively valenced words.
  • The Firearm IAT exhibited good internal consistency and construct validity (reliability = 0.84).
  • Significant positive correlations were found between the Firearm IAT and explicit attitude measures (ATGS, GBBS).

Conclusions:

  • The Firearm IAT is a reliable and valid tool for indirectly assessing attitudes toward firearms.
  • This indirect measure can enhance firearm violence research by capturing implicit beliefs.
  • The tool shows potential for improving the understanding of firearm attitudes and related behaviors.
