In- and Out-Groups

38.9K
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.

Robbers Cave

14.2K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

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...

Egoism and Altruism

91.4K
Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?

Attribution Theory00:56

Attribution Theory

12.9K
Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Recipients perceive dependency-oriented help as status maintenance, reducing altruism inference and trust. This impacts willingness to accept future intergroup help and cooperation offers.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Intergroup Relations

Background:

  • Intergroup helping involves dependency-oriented or autonomy-oriented aid.
  • Status relations theory suggests dependency-oriented help maintains helper dominance.
  • Recipient perception of helper motivation is understudied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how recipients perceive dependency-oriented help.
  • To examine the influence on inferences of helper motivation (status maintenance vs. altruism).
  • To assess the impact on perceptions of helper warmth and competence.

Main Methods:

  • Three experiments were conducted with 677 participants.
  • Participants received either dependency-oriented or autonomy-oriented help.
  • Measures included inferences of helper motivation, warmth, competence, and willingness to accept help.

Main Results:

  • Dependency-oriented help led to higher perceived status maintenance and lower altruistic motivation.
  • Recipients perceived helpers offering dependency-oriented aid as less warm and competent.
  • This negatively impacted willingness to accept future help or cooperate.

Conclusions:

  • Recipient perceptions of intergroup help differ based on orientation (dependency vs. autonomy).
  • Dependency-oriented help can undermine trust and willingness to engage.
  • Understanding recipient perspectives is crucial for effective intergroup relations.
