Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.0K
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...

Applications of Stress01:04

Applications of Stress

648
Consider a structure made of a boom and a rod designed to support a load. These two components are connected by a pin and stabilized by brackets and pins. The boom and the rod are detached from their supports to assess the different stresses imposed on this structure, and a free-body diagram is drawn. Then, all the forces applied, including the load acting on the structure, are identified. The reaction forces exerted on both the boom and the rod are computed using the equilibrium equations.

Surveys02:16

Surveys

16.6K
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.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

224
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...

Psychological Responses to Stress01:20

Psychological Responses to Stress

489
Psychological responses to stress encompass the various cognitive and emotional reactions individuals experience when faced with challenging or threatening situations, such as a job loss. Prolonged exposure to stressors can disturb emotional balance, increasing negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and sadness) and diminishing positive emotions (e.g., joy and satisfaction). These persistent emotional shifts are associated with an increased risk of both physical illness and mental health issues, such...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.4K
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...

This summary is machine-generated.

Minority stress is not uniform among sexual minorities. This study found distinct subgroups, like adults in poverty and bisexual individuals, experience higher levels of discrimination and distress, highlighting the need for intersectional approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Minority stress theory links discrimination to distress in minoritized groups, including sexual minorities.
  • Intersectionality is crucial for understanding distress and discrimination among sexual minorities.
  • Existing research often treats discrimination and distress as uniform, potentially masking intersectional effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify sociodemographic correlates of specific discrimination and distress patterns.
  • To examine how intersections of sociodemographic factors influence minority stress in sexual minority populations.
  • To uncover novel insights into population subgroups experiencing unique forms of discrimination and distress.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a multivariate conditional inference tree, a novel data mining technique.
  • Analyzed a nationally representative sample of 1518 US adults identifying as sexual minorities (2016-2018).
  • Investigated sociodemographic factors including age, race, gender identity, sexual identity, education, urbanicity, and poverty.

Main Results:

  • Identified three subgroups with elevated minority stress: general adults, adults in poverty, and bisexual/other sexual minority adults.
  • Demonstrated that minority stress among sexual minority adults in the US is heterogeneous.
  • Revealed specific patterns of distress and discrimination linked to intersections of sociodemographic factors.

Conclusions:

  • Minority stress is a complex and varied experience within the sexual minority population.
  • Conditional inference tree modeling is a valuable tool for intersectionality research.
  • Findings can inform targeted policy and intervention development for diverse sexual minority subgroups.
