Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...

Humanistic Psychology

While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

49.7K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Metaethics
  • Social Psychology
  • Moral Psychology

Background:

  • Laypeople's metaethical judgments (objectivism vs. relativism) are inconsistent.
  • These judgments vary across moral issues and social influences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate metaethical judgments as signals of tolerance or intolerance for disagreement.
  • To examine how social evaluations of objectivists and relativists influence metaethical stances.

Main Methods:

  • Five studies were conducted, employing within- and between-participants designs.
  • Methods included evaluating objectivists and relativists in different social contexts and assessing participants' metaethical judgments under varying reputational concerns.

Main Results:

  • Relativists were perceived as more tolerant, empathic, and desirable social partners.
  • Objectivists were viewed as more morally serious.
  • Evaluations varied depending on moral agreement/disagreement and anticipated social feedback.

Conclusions:

  • Metaethical judgments may function as social signals, particularly regarding tolerance for disagreement.
  • Social perceptions and reputational concerns can influence, but do not solely determine, metaethical stances.
