Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

89.6K
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...

The Representativeness Heuristic02:13

The Representativeness Heuristic

15.7K
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.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously termed multiple personality disorder, is a complex psychological condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states. Each identity exhibits unique patterns of behavior, voice, and mannerisms and may possess separate memories and emotional responses. The alternating control between identities can result in memory gaps and challenges in recalling daily activities, often exacerbating the individual's...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

1.4K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

13.9K
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:

  • Political Science
  • Sociology
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Minority groups, including women and people of color, often exhibit stronger political representation with co-identity politicians.
  • Disabled people constitute a significant, yet frequently overlooked, societal minority group.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether disabled individuals experience a similar representational link with disabled political candidates.
  • To explore the factors influencing this potential link, such as group identity and policy preferences.

Main Methods:

  • Conjoint survey experiment involving 6,000 respondents across the UK and US.
  • Analysis of self-reported feelings of representation based on candidate characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Disabled respondents reported feeling better represented by disabled candidates.
  • This effect was observed independently of shared group identity and was only partially explained by policy alignment.
  • Non-disabled individuals also showed a preference for representation by non-disabled candidates.

Conclusions:

  • Disability functions as a significant political identity, impacting perceptions of representation.
  • Findings support the need for greater representation of disabled individuals in political office.
  • The study offers insights into the disparities in political trust and participation among disabled populations.
