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...

In- and Out-Groups01:31

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.

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

45.5K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

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...

Relationship Formation02:12

Relationship Formation

41.2K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

96
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Education
  • Sociology of Science

Background:

  • Social justice efforts widely advocate for diversity in science and society.
  • Human diversity is commonly defined by racial, ethnic, or gender differences in designated groups.
  • Diversity is expected to foster inclusion through equal representation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine how diversity is operationalized in academia.
  • To demonstrate how common diversity practices can inadvertently create dichotomies.
  • To explore the impact of these dichotomies on equity and inclusion.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of informal and formal meanings of diversity measures.
  • Examination of diversity measure usage in an academic course on equity in education.
  • Discourse analysis of diversity's role in promoting inclusion.

Main Results:

  • The operationalization of diversity often leads to dichotomous thinking.
  • This dichotomization can result in stereotypic portrayals of underrepresented groups.
  • Current diversity practices may exacerbate challenges for underrepresented groups rather than promoting inclusion.

Conclusions:

  • Promoting social justice necessitates inclusion, which in turn requires diversity.
  • However, specific diversity implementation practices can create divisions, hindering inclusion.
  • Rethinking diversity approaches is crucial to genuinely advance social justice and equity in academia.
