Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

91.6K
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...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

38.9K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.9K
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...

In- and Out-Groups

40.1K
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.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.5K
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.

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status01:26

Marcia's Theory of Identity Status

429
James Marcia's identity status model provides a framework for understanding how adolescents navigate identity formation through varying degrees of exploration and commitment. Marcia's model builds on Erik Erikson's theories of psychosocial development, focusing specifically on how adolescents reconcile individual aspirations with societal expectations. His model describes identity formation as a dynamic process where adolescents move between different states depending on their level...

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Previous research on discrimination perception focused on victim-perpetrator dynamics.
  • Contextual factors, particularly the competitor's identity, were overlooked.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how the competitor's social identity influences the perception of discrimination.
  • To examine the role of social identity status in discrimination labeling.

Main Methods:

  • Three studies were conducted with White U.S. adult participants.
  • Participants evaluated scenarios where a target faced an outcome with a competitor present.

Main Results:

  • Participants were more likely to perceive discrimination when the competitor's identity emphasized a lower-status aspect of the target.
  • This effect was observed across targets of various backgrounds (Asian men, White women, Asian women).

Conclusions:

  • The competitor's identity is a crucial contextual factor in labeling outcomes as discrimination.
  • Perceptions of discrimination are influenced by the interplay of target and competitor social identities and their status.
