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...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

38.7K
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...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

130
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification03:00

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.3K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

The Representativeness Heuristic02:13

The Representativeness Heuristic

16.2K
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.

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

145
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Area of Science:

  • Education
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Persistent underrepresentation of females and minority groups in STEM fields.
  • Middle school is a critical period for influencing adolescent career aspirations.
  • Role models and mindset development are key factors in STEM engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of role model exposure and microbadging on middle school students' mindsets toward STEM careers.
  • To measure changes in students' intent, confidence, motivation, and enjoyment in pursuing STEM.

Main Methods:

  • Middle school students used the Couragion application, engaging with role models and microchallenges.
  • Students completed pre- and post-intervention surveys on their intent and mindset towards STEM careers.
  • Data were analyzed comparing outcomes across different demographic groups, including underrepresented students.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in intent to pursue STEM careers was observed post-intervention.
  • Students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups and female students showed notable increases in STEM pursuit intent.
  • Participants reported enhanced confidence, motivation, and enjoyment in STEM-related activities and careers.

Conclusions:

  • The Couragion app intervention effectively improved middle school students' intent, confidence, motivation, and enjoyment in STEM.
  • This digital intervention shows promise for narrowing the gender and racial/ethnic representation gap in STEM fields.
  • Implementing such programs in middle school can positively influence future academic and professional decisions in STEM.
