Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.9K
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...

Color Vision01:24

Color Vision

1.9K
Color perception begins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Two main theories explain how colors are seen: the trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory. The trichromatic theory, proposed by Thomas Young in 1802 and extended by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, suggests that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different but overlapping ranges of wavelengths corresponding to red, blue, and green.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.6K
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...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

621
The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways01:22

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

10.6K
At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

17.2K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology of Policing
  • Critical Race Theory
  • Canadian Criminology

Background:

  • Limited research exists on how police culture reinforces systemic racism, particularly concerning women police officers' roles in Canadian policing.
  • Existing scholarship often overlooks the specific ways female officers perpetuate systemic racism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • This study examines how police culture reinforces systemic racism within Canadian policing.
  • It specifically investigates the experiences and perspectives of women police officers in Alberta.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study utilizing 16 interviews with women police officers from an Alberta-based police organization.
  • Analysis employed theoretical frameworks of colorblind racism and intersectionality.

Main Results:

  • Officers normalize racialized police violence through racist jokes and emphasize a 'warrior' culture to justify profiling and assaulting Indigenous people.
  • Stereotypes linking Blackness with criminality are reinforced, and refugees are culturally framed as criminals.
  • White women officers were more likely to assert that racialized police violence is an American issue, not a Canadian one.

Conclusions:

  • Police culture actively reinforces systemic racism in Canada, impacting Indigenous, Black, and refugee populations.
  • Women officers, particularly White women, play a role in perpetuating racist ideologies and practices, often denying the existence of systemic racism within Canadian policing.
