Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.2K
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...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
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...

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

12.9K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

661
Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.8K
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.

Types of Non-structural Cracks in Concrete01:28

Types of Non-structural Cracks in Concrete

179
Non-structural cracks are primarily of three types: plastic, early-age thermal, and drying shrinkage cracks. Plastic cracks are further classified into plastic shrinkage cracks and plastic settlement cracks.
Plastic shrinkage cracks typically form within hours after the concrete is poured. The concrete's surface dries faster than the bottom, creating tensile stress that the still-plastic concrete cannot withstand, leading to diagonal or randomly patterned cracks on the concrete surface.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Structural racism in the US created neighborhood resource disparities impacting health equity. A new Structural Racism Effect Index better correlates with health outcomes than other indices, aiding policy to advance health equity.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Equity Research
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Historical discriminatory policies in the US have led to significant disparities in neighborhood resources.
  • These disparities disproportionately affect ethnoracial minority groups, contributing to health inequities.
  • Existing area-based indices do not fully capture the complex impact of structural racism on health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify disparities in neighborhood resources linked to structural racism.
  • To develop and validate a novel index measuring the effects of structural racism on health.
  • To assess the association of this new index with health outcomes compared to existing measures.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled data on 42 variables across nine domains (built environment, criminal justice, education, employment, housing, income/poverty, social cohesion, transportation, wealth) at the census tract level.
  • Developed domain-specific scores and a summary Structural Racism Effect Index (SREI) using publicly available data from multiple sources.
  • Examined correlations between the SREI, other area-based indices, and health outcomes like life expectancy.

Main Results:

  • The Structural Racism Effect Index demonstrated stronger associations with health outcomes compared to other commonly used area-based indices.
  • Domain and summary scores of the SREI effectively describe differences in social risk factors.
  • The SREI provides a more robust measure of the impact of structural racism on population health.

Conclusions:

  • The Structural Racism Effect Index is a powerful new tool for understanding and addressing health inequities.
  • The SREI can guide policy decisions and investments aimed at promoting health equity.
  • Quantifying the impact of structural racism is crucial for developing targeted interventions to reduce health disparities.
