Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype.

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...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about the way you...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Media Studies
  • Online Reputation Management

Background:

  • Online platforms enable reputation evaluation through mechanisms like upvotes and downvotes.
  • Understanding the psychological drivers behind these evaluations is crucial for social dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate psychological mechanisms, specifically Deservingness and Rivalry, influencing reactions to online reputation.
  • To examine how people evaluate academic success or failure based on honesty or plagiarism.

Main Methods:

  • 109 participants rated vignettes about professors' success/failure (honest vs. plagiarized work).
  • Evaluations included Satisfaction, Amusement, Responsibility, Fairness, and willingness to Upvote or Donate.
  • A 2x2 Outcome (success/fail) by Context (original/plagiarized) Multivariate Analysis of Variance was employed.

Main Results:

  • Significant disapproval of successful plagiarists; approval when plagiarists failed.
  • Strongest negative reactions involved dissatisfaction and attributions of unfairness.
  • Reduced Upvoting for plagiarism; increased support for honest professors in unfair outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Online evaluations reflect concerns about fairness and social order.
  • Perceptions of deservingness and unfairness significantly impact online reputation judgments.
  • Maintaining social order and academic integrity are key considerations in online social evaluations.
