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...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.3K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Rotter's Locus of Control01:14

Rotter's Locus of Control

305
Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...

Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

646
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...

Design Example: Measuring Distance Between Two Points with Obstructions

41
When measuring distances in areas with physical obstructions, such as a lake in a field, surveyors must employ techniques to calculate accurate lengths without direct line measurements. One effective method is the offset technique, which allows for precise distance estimation over inaccessible stretches.In this scenario, a surveyor must measure a side of an area that crosses a lake. Since the measuring tape cannot span the lake, the surveyor begins by establishing a baseline that aligns with...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Mobility is foundational to health in aging.
  • Life space and activity space are key measures of movement and spatial behavior.
  • Individual capabilities and socio-environmental factors influence physical function and agency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate the literature on life space and activity space.
  • To examine how social and environmental factors influence mobility and agency.
  • To explore the role of structural racism in mobility inequities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and theoretical integration.
  • Analysis of spatial behaviors, visited locations, and social networks.
  • Examination of structural racism's impact on mobility paradigms.

Main Results:

  • Physical function is influenced by both individual capabilities and external factors.
  • Structural racism creates inequities in movement, agency, and belonging.
  • Life space and activity space are interconnected and influenced by the environment.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding mobility requires considering individual, social, and environmental influences.
  • Structural racism significantly impacts older adults' mobility and social connection.
  • Further research is needed on mobility, social connection, and activity in diverse populations.
