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...

The Representativeness Heuristic02:13

The Representativeness Heuristic

15.8K
The representative heuristic describes a biased way of thinking, in which you unintentionally stereotype someone or something. For example, you may assume that your professors spend their free time reading books and engaging in intellectual conversation, because the idea of them spending their time playing volleyball or visiting an amusement park does not fit in with your stereotypes of professors.

Socioemotional Experience and Gender Development

33
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...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.6K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

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;...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Gender stereotypes often simplify women as nurturing but less competent than men.
  • Recent research suggests stereotypes for women are more complex and multidimensional.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the multidimensional structure of gender stereotypes.
  • To determine if stereotypes are attributed differently to men and women.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an implicit Semantic Misattribution procedure.
  • Assessed the attribution of various trait dimensions (Competence, Dominance, Morality, Physical Attractiveness, Sociability) to masculine and feminine ideograms.

Main Results:

  • Competence and Dominance traits were predominantly associated with masculine ideograms.
  • Morality and Physical Attractiveness traits were significantly more attributed to feminine ideograms.
  • Sociability was equally attributed to both masculine and feminine ideograms.

Conclusions:

  • Gender stereotypes possess a multidimensional structure.
  • Women face multiple, sometimes conflicting, societal expectations across various dimensions.
  • The complexity of these stereotypes can create challenges for women in meeting diverse expectancies.
