In- and Out-Groups01:31

In- and Out-Groups

39.0K
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.

Parallel Processing01:20

Parallel Processing

150
The brain processes sensory information rapidly due to parallel processing, which involves sending data across multiple neural pathways at the same time. This method allows the brain to manage various sensory qualities, such as shapes, colors, movements, and locations, all concurrently. For instance, when observing a forest landscape, the brain simultaneously processes the movement of leaves, the shapes of trees, the depth between them, and the various shades of green. This enables a quick and...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.1K
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...

Perception01:28

Perception

448
Perception is a fundamental psychological process that enables individuals to organize, interpret, and consciously experience sensory information. This process is crucial for understanding and interacting with the world around us. It includes both bottom-up and top-down processing, each playing a distinct role in how we perceive our environment.
Bottom-up processing begins at the sensory level, where receptors detect external environmental stimuli. These could include the tactile sensation of...

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.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Prior expectations influence perception and cognition.
  • Social context and group knowledge impact intergroup perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight hierarchical predictive processing (HPP) as a framework for intergroup perception.
  • To explain how HPP accounts for existing findings and generates novel hypotheses.

Main Methods:

  • Overview of HPP theoretical assumptions.
  • Review of evidence on prior knowledge influencing intergroup perception.
  • Analysis of HPP's explanatory power in the intergroup perception literature.

Main Results:

  • HPP provides a valuable toolset for explaining intergroup perception.
  • HPP effectively accounts for existing findings in intergroup perception research.
  • HPP offers theoretical strengths over alternative frameworks.

Conclusions:

  • HPP offers significant explanatory value for intergroup perception.
  • HPP facilitates the generation of novel hypotheses for future research.
  • HPP has broad implications for intergroup perception and cognition.
