Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

89.7K
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

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...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

In- and Out-Groups01:31

In- and Out-Groups

38.6K
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.

Intelligence01:27

Intelligence

5.7K
The term "intelligence" is complex because it refers to both behavior and individuals, and its interpretation varies across cultures. European Americans tend to link intelligence with reasoning and cognitive skills, while in Kenya, it is tied to responsible participation in family and social life. In Uganda, intelligence is seen as the ability to know the right actions and carry them out effectively, while the Iatmul people of Papua New Guinea associate it with the capacity to remember...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Summary

Intersectionality is crucial for understanding how disability and race interact. The new Symbolic Intersecting Ableism and Racism Scale (SIARS) effectively measures these combined oppressions, moving beyond single-axis approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Psychology
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Intersectionality highlights overlapping oppressions for marginalized groups.
  • Traditional discrimination research often uses a single-axis approach, neglecting multiply marginalized identities.
  • The intersection of ableism and racism, particularly for disabled individuals, remains under-examined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a scale measuring the intersection of ableism and racism.
  • To address the gap in research on intersectionality within disability studies.
  • To create a tool that captures the complex interplay of multiple forms of oppression.

Main Methods:

  • Development and validation of the Symbolic Intersecting Ableism and Racism Scale (SIARS).
  • Pilot study with 512 participants conducted between July and October 2024.
  • Exploratory factor analysis to determine the scale's underlying structure.

Main Results:

  • The SIARS demonstrated adequate validity and reliability.
  • Factor analysis revealed the scale measures denial of continuing discrimination, individualism, and empathy.
  • Findings contrasted with single-axis measures, emphasizing the need for intersectional approaches.

Conclusions:

  • The SIARS is a reliable and valid tool for measuring intersecting ableism and racism.
  • Understanding intersectionality is essential for dismantling systemic oppression and ableism.
  • Future research should utilize intersectional frameworks to fully address discrimination.
