Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

59
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...

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...

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

58
Social-emotional experiences and cultural influences play significant roles in shaping gender development. During middle childhood, from ages 6 to 11, peer groups become dominant in reinforcing gender norms. Children in this age group often align with same-gender peer groups, which actively encourage behaviors that conform to traditional gender roles. For instance, boys may be discouraged from engaging in activities perceived as feminine, reinforcing culturally dictated norms about masculinity...

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...

Attitudes

28.4K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.2K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Cultural Studies

Background:

  • Internalized binegativity (IB) is a significant issue for bisexual individuals.
  • Existing measures for IB are not culturally adapted for Chinese-speaking populations.
  • There is a need for a culturally relevant scale to assess IB in bisexual people in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and psychometrically evaluate the Chinese Internalized Binegativity Scale (CIBS).
  • To provide the first Chinese-language measure for internalized binegativity (IB) among bisexual individuals in Chinese cultural regions.
  • To explore the psychometric properties and validity of the CIBS.

Main Methods:

  • Translation and cultural adaptation of existing items, supplemented with new items based on literature and expert interviews.
  • Administration of preliminary items to 685 bisexual participants across Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to establish the scale's structure and reliability, alongside convergent validity assessments.

Main Results:

  • A robust six-factor measurement model was identified: illegitimacy, monosexism, aversion, irresponsibility, family shame, and identity affirmation.
  • The CIBS demonstrated good internal consistency reliability (ranging from .76 to .91).
  • Higher CIBS scores were significantly associated with increased depressive symptoms, anxiety, lower self-esteem, and reduced life satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • The CIBS is a psychometrically sound and culturally adapted instrument for measuring internalized binegativity (IB) in bisexual populations in Chinese regions.
  • The scale's findings highlight the negative psychological impact of IB, including increased mental health issues and lower well-being.
  • The CIBS offers a valuable tool for researchers and clinicians addressing the mental health needs of bisexual individuals within Chinese cultural contexts.
