Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.0K
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...

Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. Consider a lifting tong carrying a 100 kg load. It comprises movable sections DAF and CBG linked together with member AB.

A toggle clamp is a mechanical device commonly used for holding and clamping objects in various applications, such as woodworking, metalworking, and assembly operations. Consider a toggle clamp subjected to a force of 200 N at the handle. The vertical clamping force can be calculated, provided the dimensions of the toggle clamp are known.
The toggle clamp system is a machine structure consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that form a stabilized system to transmit forces. The...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

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...

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Purposive Learning

101
E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Summary

Performance goal orientation in education can lead to self-objectification, where students view themselves as objects. This self-objectification is linked to decreased authenticity, impacting student well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Self-objectification, viewing oneself as an object, is understudied in educational settings.
  • Understanding factors influencing self-objectification is crucial for student development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between performance goal orientation and self-objectification in students.
  • To examine whether self-objectification predicts reduced authenticity.

Main Methods:

  • Six studies (N=1,716) utilized cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental designs.
  • Participants included college students and adolescents (middle school students).
  • Data were analyzed using correlational and experimental approaches.

Main Results:

  • A performance goal orientation was positively associated with self-objectification across studies.
  • Self-objectification causally predicted reduced authenticity.
  • These findings were consistent across different age groups and methodologies.

Conclusions:

  • Performance goal orientation is a significant predictor of self-objectification in educational contexts.
  • Self-objectification negatively impacts student authenticity.
  • This research highlights the importance of fostering non-performance-based goals in education.
