In- and Out-Groups01:31

In- and Out-Groups

39.1K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

Robbers Cave

14.3K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

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...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.3K
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

14.9K
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.

Levels of Communication I: Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Small Group

13.3K
Interpersonal communication focuses on the exchange of messages between two people.
We can participate in these relationships through verbal, nonverbal, and mediated communication. We engage in verbal communication when we use words during our interaction to convey specific meanings. On the other hand, nonverbal communication refers to various factors that can impact how we understand each other—for example, facial expressions.
We interact with others using mediated technologies like the...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Intergroup Relations

Background:

  • Intergroup relations research often overlooks the subjective experience of feeling understood.
  • Intergroup felt understanding, the belief that outgroup members understand ingroup perspectives, is a key factor in intergroup dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current research on intergroup felt understanding.
  • To explore its conceptualization within intergroup meta-perception.
  • To examine its predictive power for positive intergroup outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent research on intergroup felt understanding.
  • Conceptual analysis within the framework of intergroup meta-perception.
  • Synthesis of findings on the relationship between felt understanding and intergroup outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Intergroup felt understanding is strongly linked to increased trust and positive intergroup relations.
  • Feeling understood by outgroup members predicts favorable intergroup perceptions and outcomes.
  • The concept is related to meta-perception and influences how individuals view intergroup interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Intergroup felt understanding is a crucial element for improving intergroup relations.
  • Future research should investigate interventions to foster felt understanding.
  • Exploring connections with concepts like 'voice,' empathy, responsiveness, and intergroup contact is warranted.
