Resumen
Las personas a menudo malinterpretan sus reacciones al presenciar el racismo. Anticipando fuertes respuestas emocionales y el rechazo social de los perpetradores, los individuos en realidad muestran indiferencia, permitiendo que el racismo persista.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Psicología social Psicología social.
- Relaciones Raciales Estudios Estudios de las Relaciones Raciales
Sus antecedentes:
- Las relaciones raciales contemporáneas exhiben una paradoja: el prejuicio abierto es condenado, pero el racismo descarado persiste.
- Esta inconsistencia puede deberse a un malentendido de las respuestas emocionales y conductuales de los individuos al presenciar el racismo.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar la discrepancia entre las respuestas emocionales y conductuales predichas y reales al presenciar incidentes racistas.
- Explorar si los individuos predicen con precisión las consecuencias sociales para los perpetradores de racismo.
Principales métodos:
- Se evaluó la predicción de angustia emocional de los participantes y el rechazo social de un perpetrador racista.
- La angustia emocional real de los participantes y el rechazo social percibido se midieron después de experimentar un evento racista.
Principales resultados:
- Las personas predijeron un trastorno emocional significativo, pero experimentaron relativamente poca angustia al presenciar el racismo.
- Los participantes sobreestimaron la medida en que un comentario racista llevaría al rechazo social del autor.
- Existe una brecha entre las respuestas anticipadas y reales a los incidentes racistas.
Conclusiones:
- El racismo puede persistir porque las reacciones y acciones emocionales anticipadas de los individuos no se alinean con sus respuestas reales.
- La tendencia a responder con indiferencia, a pesar de anticipar fuertes reacciones, contribuye a la continuación del racismo.

02:55Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
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 are...
02:09Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies
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...
02:16Surveys
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.
02:16Stereotype Content Model
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 categorization, a person will feel...
01:29The Influence of Cognition on Affect
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be interpreted as...
01:25Motivational Bias
Cognitive bias results from limitations in thinking and information processing, leading to systematic errors in judgment. Conversely, motivational bias stems from personal desires or emotions, causing distortions in perception to align with self-interest. Motivational bias influences how individuals perceive and attribute causes to events, often shaped by personal needs, goals, and self-esteem preservation. This bias can distort judgment, leading to inaccurate assessments of success, failure,...
